@ Jinx...
Kelden felt her step closer to him and his thumb stroked her cheek gently as he continued to look into her eyes. "Your eyes are like an ocean, there's so much depth to them. I see strength and beauty in every glance," he said. He leaned down and kissed her ever so softly. He pulled her into him gently and held her as they kissed, just wanting the feeling of her lips against his to last forever. When the kiss broke, he held her close a little longer before sighing and releasing her. "Alright, we'd better finish our run," he suggested. "Wanna race back?" He asked, a playful grin forming on his lips. He took a step towards the house, glancing back at her to make sure she was going to follow and then took off at a sprint.
Hazel kept up with him most of the way but pulled ahead right at the end, hitting the porch steps just before him and he laughed boisterously as they came to a stop. The uphill run had been pretty killer, especially accounting for the wet ground and he stood there a little winded from the burst of intense exertion. "You've gotten even faster," he commented, grabbing a water and drinking from it. He'd done a lot of running in his time training to be an agent and actually being one, but Hazel had the agility and grace to outrun him despite that. Maybe he'd invite her to do a marathon with him someday in the future. "That was fun," he grinned.
Kelden glanced at the time on his phone. "I think June and Drake will be getting back soon so we can go get supplies. I'm going to shower and change really quick then so I'm ready by the time they get here," he told Hazel. He pulled off his shirt as they headed inside and kissed the top of Hazel's head before he disappeared upstairs to go shower as he'd said. He made sure to toss his dirty clothes in the small laundry hamper in his bedroom to wash later before changing into something casual but nice for their time out in town.
June smiled. "Alright, Liam," she agreed. She felt Drake take her hand and she smiled up at him before glancing back at the phone as Liam spoke again. "I'm a pastry chef," she told him. "Decorating is my specialty but baking is a big part of it too." They began to chat about her baking, Liam asking about the work she'd done and suggesting that he'd have to find a way to try something of her's someday. She laughed and promised to make something especially for him someday. They joked about Drake and making sure June was feeding him well.
The conversation eventually turned back to Drake and his dad conversing and June was glad. She'd enjoyed getting to meet Liam, though only by phone, but she knew that the primary reason for the call was so Drake and his dad could catch up and check in on each other. She didn't want to interrupt that and she smiled as they chatted about when he would visit and his sister's upcoming wedding. She ran a hand through her hair, an apologetic smile on her lips as Drake's dad suggested she come to the wedding with Drake. She didn't know if that could even happen and she wouldn't want to intrude on any family affairs unless Drake specifically asked her anyway. The way they'd gotten to know each other was strange and though it felt somewhat natural to her, there were a lot of steps they were skipping in their relationship. They didn't really have the opportunity to 'date' like a normal couple, going out when they could and getting to know each other in that way, eventually meeting each other's friends and families. They had developed a relationship over the course of living with each other and spending time during their daily routines.
She tried to refocus on the conversation, pushing the thoughts out of her head. June smiled as Drake and his father continued to talk for a bit longer and then said their goodbyes for now. Liam and June said goodbye as well, June mentioning that it was lovely to get to talk to him. June smiled up at Drake as he hung up the phone. "That was nice," she told him.
