Destiny Is a Funny Thing

@ A Drop On the Window
Laila smiled as Mikkie came out. She had loaded everything they needed into the car and she bit her lip knowing she shouldn't let Mikkie skip just because she needed to but then again she needed him. This once she was going to consider it okay. Laila grinned and headed out to the car with him. Once they where all buckled in she grinned and looked over at him.

Mikkie was feeling slightly bad for skipping classes today, but felt it far more important to be with Laila. He had packed some food, and extra towels, so they could spend most of the day at the beach. He looked at her softly, as he climbed into the car and prepared to head off.

"So what are you going to do after college?" he asked, he didn't want to ask her how she was, the answer was obvious. He was attempting to get her mind off things.

@ Jinx...

Laila smiled as they started to drive towards the coast. She relaxed looking out the window before Mikkie asked her a question. She looked over at him and smiled softly. "I don't know yet. The basics probably. Get a job, travel, find a house and keep loving my amazing boyfriend." she said softly grinning. "Do you have any big plans?" she asked. This small talk was something she wasn't use to with Mikkie but she knew he really wanted to talk about it all but she wasn't ready yet.

Mikkie looked at her and smiled gently, "pretty much the same as you, only I'd like to turn my amazing girlfriend into my wife at some point," he said lightly. He looked over at her, watching her face.

He never wanted to lose her, he knew that if that happened he wouldn't be able to handle it.

Laila looked at him and blushed. "Mikkie." she grinned and leaned over kissing his cheek. She loved that he still wanted her and she knew this was all going to get worse before it got better. She hoped he would feel that way still in a few years. "I love you." she whispered softly to him.

Mikkie blushed, and held her hand. "I love you too," he said. He sat back, "we'll get through this," he said. He looked up as the beach came into sight. "Oh goodie," he said happily.

Laila smiled softly and nodded. She knew they would but it would just take time for them. Once they got to the beach she grabbed their things and headed out towards the water. Once they had a good spot she grinned and walked out so her toes where in the water and she closed her eyes finally relaxing.

Mikkie smiled brightly and followed her onto the beach. He sat down and watched her head over to the water. He grinned and got comfortable on the sand

Laila came back and plopped down into the towels beside him leaning over and kissing his cheek softly. "You afraid to get a little wet?" she asked and winked at him.

Mikkie grinned kissing her back. "Nope, was just enjoying the view," he said lightly. He put his arm over her, 'want to go swimming?" he asked

@ Jinx...

opps

Laila smiled and leaned into his easy embrace. It was hard for her not to pull out but this was what she wanted was Mikkie, always. "Yeah I would love to with you." she said softly and laced her fingers with his.

Mikkie smiled brightly, "Yeah sure that sounds amazing," he told her. He moved onto his feet and then helped her up. He was glad she seemed so happy again, so far he assumed he was successfully taking her mind off of things.

Laila smiled as they walked to the waves and she stepped in slowly moving keeping into the water. She grinned at him giggling softly.

Mikkie chuckled and moved into the water with her. He dragged her out deeper, and pulled her under gently. "You said swimming, not walking," he teased when they popped back to the surface.

Laila gasped falling into the water. She came up laughing and sputtering water. She shoved him deeper into the water. "You could have warned me." she laughed and ran her hands through her hair pulling it back as she bobbed over the surface of the water moving with the waves.

Mikkie grinned and laughed, "where would be the fun in that?" he teased. He swam around her slowly, comfortably enjoying the water. He looked at her, "you look good today," he said.

Laila chuckled and splashed him playfully then moved onto her back floating and watching him. "Thanks." she said. Today she felt more normal then any of the other days she had been home.

Mikkie smiled softly and chuckled. He was glad to see her relaxing somewhat, and return to normal a little bit. He swam around her, watching her.

They swam for a long while and then baked in the sun until Laila's belly rumbled. "I think the only thing to make this day perfect is a cup of clam chowder. You want to go to the pier and walk around and get some?" she asked Mikkie looking over at him.
