“Now sit for a few seconds. Scarlett and I have to get ready.”
Olivia nodded. We put on our water shoes and flotation devices. The three of us packed into one of the paddle boats, Livvy between Scarlett and me.
We went around the lake, Livvy being our navigator telling us where to go. All the anger and sadness I was feeling, I wouldn’t say it was just gone. I’d probably always be sad thinking about Kylie’s death, but I wasn’t consumed by it anymore. I could go through the day and simply enjoy it.
The rest of the day, we hung around the lake and relaxed in the outdoors. Livvy and Scarlett had packed us a secret lunch, and it was delicious. Olivia sat across from the two of us, Scarlett and I, side by side. I saw her hand was resting on the bench, and I softly placed mine on top of hers. Surprise passed over her face as she looked at me. We couldn’t say much in the moment, but we both smiled. I was finally able to admit to myself that I was glad to have Scarlett back in my life.
Livvy went to sleep almost immediately when we got back home. The three of us ended up spending the entire day by the lake, and it was so surprising to see it getting dark. Since we hadn’t prepared to be out at night, we made sure to make the walk back quicker. Olivia was already tired, so I ended up carrying her most of the way back, but it did help make getting back home faster.
While Scarlett took care of putting away everything we brought with us, I got Olivia ready for bed. It made me smile, knowing that she had such a great day. And I had a great one myself.
After leaving Olivia’s room, I went to visit Scarlett. I gave a soft knock on the door.
“Come in.” I pushed the door open and found Scarlett in the middle of getting dressed. She was just in some shorts and a bra pulling her shirt on.
“Hey, I just wanted to see how you were doing.”
She pulled her shirt all the way and looked at me. “I’m great. How are you?”
“Great as well.” We both smiled and looked away as if feeling shy. “I’m sorry I was such a jerk before.”
Scarlett looked at me, confused. “I had fun today. You were really nice.”
“I mean before, like the past two years. You were there for me, and I was just mean.”
“You were going through a lot,” Scarlett shrugged.
“So were you.”
Because Kylie was my wife and the mother of my child, it was easy for me to forget that she was also Scarlett’s big sister. I barely gave her room to mourn with all the bullshit I was pulling myself.
“Yeah, well… I’m better now.”
“So, I am.”
We stood apart for some time, not really looking at one another but still throwing glances. It seemed neither one of us wanted the night to end.
“Do you want to come to my room?”
Scarlett nodded, and we walked out together. It wasn’t a long walk to my room, and once we were inside with the door closed, I spun around and pinned her against it. With a whole day of pent up emotion in me, I kissed her.
She eagerly received me, placing both hands on either side of my face. Resting my head on her forehead, I broke our kiss, taking in Scarlett’s scent. She moved her hands from my face down to my chest.
“Why did you wait so long to kiss me again?” I moved my face, so I could look into her eyes. “I hope my breath didn’t smell or something,” she joked.
“No, you always smell good to me. I was —,” my voice caught in my throat. “I was holding onto the past too tightly, and it kept me from embracing my feelings for you. I was trying to keep everything emotionless, but obviously, that didn’t work. I thought feeling nothing was the only way to stop feeling angry and sad. But you showed me how wrong I was.”
Scarlett’s smile grew even bigger, and I kissed her again. I pressed my body into hers, feeling every dip and curve. She was absolutely perfect, and I never wanted to lose her again.
I picked her and carried her over to the bed. Gently, I brought the both of us down. Scarlett on her back while I held myself over her.
“You’re so beautiful.”
“You’re not too bad yourself.”
Scarlett had bent her leg, and her foot was rubbing along my side. I grabbed it, extending it upwards, so I could kiss her skin. Scarlett giggled as I ran my hand and lips up and down her leg.
“Oh, Noah.”
I put her leg down and pushed her knees apart. Pushing her shorts and panties to the side, I slid two fingers inside of her, watching her body buck against me. Her fingers went around my neck and tangled into the hair at the nape of my neck. Her eyes shut as I pushed my fingers deeper, going all the way to the knuckle. Scarlett pushed back against my hand, rubbing her clit over the bumps on my hand. I felt her pussy clench, and a few seconds later, she came. Her juices ran down my fingers and onto both sides of my hand.
