So I finally started it! YAY! Now I don't have to make a new story every time I come up with a gadge one-shot! I hope you liked the first chapter.
Madge's POV. Modern AU.
I leaned against the chair and looked out at the water. I closed my eyes and let myself not think of the waves tossing my stomach.
"You okay?" Gale asked.
"I don't know." I lied and let out a shaky breath. "I just felt really seasick there."
"Do you need to go back?" He asked and reached out to the engine.
"No." I said quickly. "It'll pass."
"I feel like this is prom all over again." I gave him a look. "Sorry." He smiled.
"I'm going to get in the water." I took off my pink cover-up and fixed my bikini top. As soon as I stood up, I had to sit down.
"We're going back." Gale said calmly and turned on the ignition.
"I'm fine." I murmured but head was spinning.
"It's okay. We can go out tomorrow, it won't be as choppy." I nodded and pulled my hat down from the wind. "Do you want to come lean on me?" I stumbled over and relaxed against him. "You're probably dehydrated." Gale sighed. "You never drink enough." I nodded and closed my eyes against his shoulder.
"Sorry." I murmured.
"Don't apologize." He kissed my nose and forehead. I searched for the dock in the distance. Finally, I could make out the two benches at the end of the dock. Gale killed the engine. I slumped against the empty chair as Gale was quick to tie the boat to the dock.
"You don't need to help." I whispered as he tried to pick me out of the boat. My head ached and I tried to look well.
"Don't." He said. "I know you too well." I sighed. I wandered through the pine needles and sand through the ankle high grass and through gravel up to the cabin. I opened the screen door and stepped up onto concrete.
"Sorry." I whispered again to the man behind me. The fan in the screen porch felt nice and I turned my face towards it as Gale unlocked the heavy wood door.
"Come on." He whispered as we walked into A/C. I followed him into the bedroom and sat on the mattress. He reached around me and unhooked my necklace setting it on the side table.
"Thanks." He nodded and reached for my engagement ring. That too was placed with the necklace. I dropped my flip flops and curled up on the bed.
Review!
