Last one folks, hope you've had fun today! I'll see ya'll next time, I've got an adult fairytale (Through the Woods) coming soon along with a seriously messed up birthday party (It's My Party...and I'll Spy If I Want To)...
Chapter 12~
EPOV
"Leah!" I yelled, "why must ye cause trouble wherever ye go? We're on an island and ye still manage t' get yourself into a ruckus before breaksmartly," I groused.
"He started it!" she said back as she stomped her foot and huffed, her arms crossing beneath her bosom and lifting her ample cleavage up towards him. I did not miss how his eyes followed their movement.
Chortling, I stepped forward. "Tis good t' see ye after so many years young Jak. Thanks be t' ye for taking care o' me girl," I said gaily as I clapped him on the back.
Isa stepped up beside me and his eyes darted from me to her and back again. "So she was right, it really is you."
"Aye, it tis," I nodded. "Now, Leah, what did he start?" I didn't need a mutiny before we'd even settled in here.
"He barged in here, in all his shirtless wonder, demanding to know who we were and why we were stealing his food," she explained flailing her arms around as Jak continued to watch her movements.
I started laughing, as did the others. I was not sure if she was aware of how she'd just described him, but it was very clear to the rest of us that the unshakable, never interested Leah had finally had someone catch her eye.
She looked round at all of us. "What? What tis so funny?"
Ally came forward, "Oh nothing at all, Leah. Except that you've never been so concerned with someone's chosen attire," she giggled as she winked at Leah who was opening and closing her mouth like a fish on deck.
Leah turned to Jak, who gave her a toothy grin. Throwing her arms in up in the air, she stormed off, declaring our lot all heathens and scallywags.
"Should someone go after her? So she doesn't get lost or hurt," Jak asked.
"Certainly, dear brother, if you're volunteering. I'd wager you would be the best choice," Isa nudged him.
"That's what I was thinking, if you'll excuse me," he trailed off as he jaunted off after her.
We all watched his retreating form for a moment before chaos ensued.
In the form of introductions and declarations between Isa and everyone else.
The day was spent by the men making the necessary trips to bring the ship up to the shore as close as possible, anchoring and emptying it of all useable items as the women prepared the finest meal we'd eaten in years.
Jak and Leah eventually rejoined us, no longer yelling at each other and being rather cozy. Ally and the girls eagerly shared their garment stashes with Isa, donning her in a golden wrap that made her look like an island goddess with her bronzed skin. She'd tried to say no, but they wouldn't hear of it, telling her she needed to be properly dressed for celebrating her wedding day.
We stole kisses and touches whenever we could, finally escaping to the deserted beach when the festivities wound down, where we fell asleep in each other's arms.
It had been an evening of celebration all around.
For reuniting.
For new adventures.
For conquered hearts.
~The End~
So, I hope everyone enjoyed it! I've decided that from here on out, unless I manage to keep a one shot under 5k (which doesn't happen often) I will be posting them as short stories such as this.
Just a reminder that accompanying pics to this story can be found in my FB group.
