Story 21
Don't need those other numbers, when I got my number one.
JJ and Kiara are lying side by side, staring up at the ceiling, lost in their thoughts. The warm, red lighting creates an intimate atmosphere in the confined cabin of the boat. Tomorrow they will scuba dive together but for now, they were sent by their friends to get some rest.
The soft hum of the environment fills the silence between them as they lie side by side, staring up into the dimly lit space above them.
"Do you ever wonder how we got here, JJ? All the risks, all the close calls... it's like we're living on borrowed time." Kie hesitates but speaks anyway.
JJ remains silent for a moment, his hand resting on his chest as he takes in her words. He glances over at her, noticing the way the light plays off her face, highlighting the concern in her eyes.
"Yeah, I do. But honestly, Kie... I wouldn't trade any of it. Not as long as we're together. It's crazy, but it's ours." he finally replies with a sight at her.
Kiara turns her head slightly, meeting his gaze. There's a mixture of fear and acceptance in her expression, as if she's come to terms with the reality of their situation but still holds on to hope.
"I guess that's what scares me the most... losing this, losing you." Kiara says softly.
JJ reaches over, gently taking her hand in his, a silent promise that they will face whatever comes next together. The tension in the room eases slightly, replaced by a quiet resolve.
"We've made it this far, Kie. And no matter what happens, I'm not going anywhere. I promise. We'll figure it out. We always do." The blond looks at her reassuringly.
"I love you, Jayj."
"I love you more, baby." JJ says it back like it's been obvious for years. He gets closer to his, now, girlfriend and takes her into his arms, leaving a kiss on the top of her head before closing his eyes.
