“Yeah, let’s do it,” Cameron replied.
“I’m good with this,” Kennedy added and finished her fudge. “Need any help?”
“Want to get the dishes for me?”
“Sure, babe,” Kennedy said.
They went about scooping ice cream and putting it and toppings into dishes, and River realized that she had nowhere for them to sit down to eat it. There were the two stools behind the counter, yes, but there were four of them. Plus, she had two movie stars in the front of her shop, and while the lights weren’t on, the sun wasn’t down all the way yet, and people were walking by.
“In the back?” she asked.
“Sure. I’ve never seen the back of a candy shop before,” Cameron replied.
Then, Kennedy and Cameron grabbed the two stools and carried them into the back, but River remained in place, remembering what she was wearing and how obvious it was that she was wearing it. There was nowhere for her to hide in the back of the shop, and she couldn’t exactly take it off in the front of the shop, so she just stood behind the counter, with her ice cream on the counter, wondering what to do.
“Hold on,” Kennedy told her, walking back out. “Face me. I’ll cover you.”
Relieved that her girlfriend had remembered what she was wearing, too, apparently, River quickly unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans and tried to remove the dildo as quickly as she could, and Kennedy took it from her and tossed it into a box of candy under the counter.
“We cannot forget to grab that when they leave,” River said, zipping her pants back up.
“Oh, I still plan on using it tonight,” Kennedy replied and kissed her quickly.
“I love you,” River told her, smiling.
“Love you, too, gorgeous.”
“Sorry…”
River heard the voice and looked up to see Lacey standing there.
“Was just wondering where you two went.”
“I’ll go steal some lemon-lime,” Kennedy said before she kissed River again and walked by Lacey, disappearing into the back.
“You’re really happy, huh?” Lacey noted and took a bite of her ice cream.
“I am, yeah. I even gave her space in my closet. I bought a new dresser, too.”
“Whoa. You let her stuff mingle with yours?”
“I do. I told you, I’m growing.”
Lacey laughed and asked, “You love her, don’t you?”
“So much,” she admitted. “You?”
“Yeah, I love Cam,” Lacey confirmed.
“Have you two said it yet?”
“We did, yes. Well, she said it first one night a while ago when she thought I was asleep, but she said it again when she knew I was awake not long after that. I said it back, obviously.”
“So, LA?” River asked.
“Maybe, yeah.”
“We might end up there, too,” she said.
