Soleil's POV
"Guys, don't worry okay. I'm not in the cave or anywhere may risk my life. I'm at the hill." I chuckled and switch my front camera to the back camera of my phone to show them my surrounding.
"Damn! It's only 2 hours away from home. Why don't you come back after work, sunshine?" Lotte whined as my mothers laughed.
"Sunshine will be tired to come here back and forth. I rather she stays at a nearby hotel to have a good sleep after work." Mama said softly as I smiled at her tenderness.
Mama was a soft-spoken person and most of the time mom always complained mama spoiled Lotte too much.
Lotte always said mom was a devil mom, but for me, mom was a Saint like mama because mom was soft to me unlikely how she treated Lotte.
Mom said she treat me soft because I was a good girl and not handy like Lotte. Mama explained that Lotte had mom's behavior and I was agreed about that.
They said I had my behavior from mama which is reserved and our bad habit rarely opened up.
We didn't mean don't open up, we are just not good in express or sharing. We would tell too if they asked.
In the meantime, I started missing them since I had already come here more than a week.
"Nah, I'll fetch our baby sunshine. Baby girl, We'll go to get you back and Lotte will drive your car. Look at mama, she wanna cry because you already left her more than a week." Mom suggested with a grin and side hug mama as mama rolled her eyes.
"Don't be silly, love." mama chuckled and said softly, "Put on two thermal clothes on you. It's getting cold. Especially you take shooting in midnight."
I smiled as I tugged the sleeves beneath my flannel shirt and showed her, "Yes, mama. I'll never forget about this. It always keeps me warm. And look." I tugged the collar of my leather jacket and said, "This can keep me warm too."
The leather jacket was gifted by all of them since the first day I decided to drive out for my first photography journey. That time was autumn too.
"Aw, our baby sunshine has grown up. We should worry less, honey," mom smiled as she pecked mama's cheek and mama grinned shyly whenever mom gave her affection in front of us.
"Guys! We're right here." Lotte playfully warned our mothers as they burst out laughing.
"What's wrong?" mom asked casually and she plants a soft kiss on mama's lips
Mama's face slightly tinted as she quickly embraced her face and mumbled, "Stop being corny in front of the kids, love."
"But you love it, don't you?" mom said smugly and smiled at me, "So, when will you come back, sunshine? Mama is expecting you'll come back in a few days."
"Oh, I might disappoint you guys." I lied I actually will go back the next day morning after the sunrise. I was subtle not to laugh at them when their faces slightly fell.
"So, when is it?" Mama asked with a small smile and I could see she was trying not to be disappointed.
"Umm, I might be going home after a week," I said as I almost laughed when their jaws dropped.
"I'm sorry, guys. Because I have a few jobs in here. The clients prefer shooting in this area." I shrugged.
"You better get your ass back as soon as possible after you're done," Lotte said sternly as mom hit her head and Lotte caressed her head and pursed her lips.
"We should stop keeping sunshine now. Let her work and she'll come back sooner." Mama said.
"That's why I always think you're smart, honey." mom giggled and waved, "Okay, let's kiss our baby sunshine before we end the call." mom and Lotte blew kisses at me as mama rolled her eyes with a chuckled.
"Come on honey, give our baby girl a goodbye kiss." mom said with giggles.
"Nah," mama waved them off and quickly said, "Bye sunshine before they two are getting nosy." with that she gave me a quick wave before ending the call.
I laughed with shook my head of their goofiness. I texted a short message of bid goodnight to my family in our group chats as they were taking the role of asking me to go home as soon as possible. Most of the messages from mom and Lotte, and mama only put a short text stay safe.
Today I already finished my shooting job and I decided to stay up late for taking the bright moonlight and put the record of the milky way.
In the meantime, the honey dip blonde's smile appeared in my head again. I adored the way she smile and it was bright and joyous.
I took my camera and selected the next picture of hers and sent it to my mobile by blue tooth.
Once my phone received a photo, I tried to type a message before sending it to her. That's better for me to make conversation instead of directly asking how's your day. Even though she agreed to be my friend but I didn't want to act like a creep.
And thank God I had taken almost 100 pictures of hers. That's meant I could start every conversation with her at least 100 times before we were getting closer. But, I already sent about 20 pictures in close to a week.
I was grateful she didn't think I was a creep and she was nice to me.
"I missed my sis," Amanda said as she joined me.
My heart was crumbled whenever I heard or thought about her. I usually didn't talk much about her because I hate to cry like the day I cry about her. The pain would always be in my heart.
Lotte was right. She had told me something sad happened or ugly truth may become a scar. We wanted to let go, but we couldn't forget about it.
I remember that day Lotte broke down after she decided she wanted an honest answer from mom about her dad. Even though Lotte was still sad and hurt about her dad, but she said she was appreciated mom told her the truth.
Mom know better than everyone that Lotte was the same as her that she hated the truth being untold.
I sighed softly and tried to hold my tears and said, "Me either."
"She might be our guardian there," Amanda said while she pointed at the bright silver moonlight in the clear dark sky.
"You're right. She had been told us that she would fly to the moon someday." I chuckled at her joke as I quickly rubbed my eyes for not letting my tears roll from my eyes.
She had gone close to two years.
I felt a jolt in my jeans pocket as I took out the phone and I laughed after I read a message from the honey dip blonde.
Kimora: I so regret to start working. I miss travel so much. I should spend close to a year on my holiday.
Soleil: Well, you can quit your job anytime if you're unhappy with that.
Kimora: A sad news. My devil bosses are my moms!
I burst out laughing as Amanda bumped my shoulder and asked with a hint of a smile, "What's so funny, sis?"
I chuckled, "Oh, my new friend. She's funny. It's joyful to chat with her."
Amanda smirked at me, "Just a friend?"
"Yea, just a friend. We bumped into each other and we had a quick chat before she was in a hurry." I explained.
Amanda was still smirking at me as she narrowed her eyes to study my face and asked, "Do you like her?"
I nodded my head and admitted, "Yea, I like her." I sighed with a smile, "Well, I know I should take a baby step. First, I have to get to know her more. I don't even know she like boys or girls, and I can't put so much hope on her."
Amanda and I were best friends and since we were 17. Also, her late elder sister was my best friend. She might tease me if she knew I had a crush on someone.
Speaking of teasing, Lotte and mom would be the nosy team. For mama, she probably would patiently listen to me.
I had no idea how long mama could wait for mom for years. She started to like her when she was in elementary and mom was straight until the day mama confessed to her. They split and met again after years. I was amazed by their love and patience.
As the story tell from mama, she told us the only person she was in love with was mom. Whereas mom told us she was too dumb to realize a gem always by her side and she was too slow and too stubborn on her sexuality when she was younger. In the end, she knew love wasn't about gender, it was heart.
Mom told us if she had a chance to time travel back to her 16, she would date with mama instead of the hopeless boys.
"Let's put two to two then. I'll wish that she only likes girls or maybe she likes boys but being bent by you." Amanda said with a light shrug.
I chuckled with shook my head and I replied the honey dip blonde.
Soleil: I believe parents couldn't resist puppy eyes. Try it. It might work.
I smiled when I pictured she shot puppy eyes with pursed her lips might be adorable.
Kimora: No, I will never give up this job. I can't be defeated by my devil bosses. I guess I dislike being caged in a room to work for long hours. Well, I'm quite envious of you. You can travel everywhere whenever you work.
Soleil: If you work like me, you won't have a sweet weekend and happy hour. Because those were potential clients' free time. Do you love your job?
Kimora: Very much. Just tiring.
"I'll not be the third wheel, have nice chat with your little crush," Amanda said as she gently patted my shoulder before going to her tent to call it a night.
"Have a nice sleep," I said as she waved at me and yawned before disappearing into her tent.
Soleil: I'm glad you love it. I believe it's worth it whenever you're working the job you love.
Kimora: I agree. Thanks for being my listener. It's nice to ramble on you. Don't mind me if I complain too much.
Soleil: Not at all. You can chat with me anytime. It's fun to chat with you. I believe your mothers will be proud of you. So, you are a child of two mothers too. Am I right?
Kimora: Yea, you're right. I assume you're having two moms too? Since you're saying 'too'.
Soleil: Yes, you're right too. We seem to have something similar. I believe your mothers are awesome.
Kimora: Yes, they are. I love them even though they're my devil bosses.
Soleil: It's quite fun working with mothers. You could see the different sides of them. My sister works with mom and she complains mom is a monster.
Kimora: I feel your sis! She's right. Anyway, I enjoy chatting with you very much, but I should be off earlier because I have fixed working hours. Boring. I hope you'll sleep soon too. Don't stay up late, okay?
Soleil: I'll sleep soon, no worries. I'll always listen to my 'new friend'. Goodnight.
Kimora: You better be. Even though I'll be glad you send another picture or sunrise picture in the early morning, but I hope that's not the sign you are wide awake.
Soleil: I assured you it's not gonna happen because I need to sleep before I drive long hours home.
Kimora: Safe drive for tomorrow. Goodnight.
Soleil: Goodnight, Kimora. Let's continue chatting while I send the next picture to you.
Kimora: I'll look forward.
Soleil: Stay tuned.
I slipped my mobile into my jeans pocket, I decided to return to my tent to sleep and leave my camera for recording the milky way.
I bet I'd gonna wake up earlier again for the sunrise because I knew she like it. Also, it was a bonus picture for me to greet her in the morning instead of using the other pictures of hers yet.
