Page 83 of See You Next Month

“I can’t wait for next month,” Kelsey said.

“We’ll figure this out,” Isabella replied. She led them down the stairway to Riley and Alex’s bedroom then out of their apartment.

“Can you imagine living here?”

“Maybe someday,” Kelsey said, putting her hand on the door that led to the bar before Isabella could open it.

Isabella turned to her and smiled, then she pressed her lips to Kelsey’s for one more tender kiss. What was it about Kelsey’s kisses? They lit Isabella on fire at times and at others soothed her soul. She reluctantly pulled away, but placed her hand over Kelsey’s heart.

“My heart is talking to your heart,” Isabella said.

“I know,” Kelsey whispered and smiled. “I hear it.”

Isabella groaned. “Fuck,” she mumbled and opened the door.

Kelsey closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the seat rest. She was in the middle seat, but she didn’t care because Isabella was sitting right next to her, their legs pressed together. Her thoughts drifted back to last night. They had danced at Peaches with the rest of the spring break revelers then returned to the resort for dinner.

The group continued the party outside their rooms at the pool. Kelsey and Isabella took their regular evening walk on the beach, this time joined by Dana and Mia. After they returned to the party Kelsey and Isabella explained they had a work issue to take care of and went into Isabella’s room. They had their last-night dance, as they had begun to call it, after all.

Kelsey remembered holding Isabella in her arms as they swayed to the music. She couldn’t wait until their trip next month.

“You have a very pleased look on your face,” Isabella whispered. “What are you thinking about?”

Kelsey opened her eyes and gazed over at Isabella. “Your eyes are a beautiful sparkling blue right now,” she said quietly.

Isabella smiled, but raised her eyebrows in question.

“I was thinking about our dance last night,” Kelsey replied softly. She reached over and touched her little finger to Isabella’s where it rested on her thigh. “Have you noticed how perfectly our bodies fit together when we dance?”

She was rewarded with a big smile from Isabella. “I have noticed,” she whispered.

Kelsey straightened up and turned to her. “I was surprised at how receptive Carmen was to our idea of rejuvenation next month.”

“I think she knows we need a little break,” Isabella said. “I’m glad it’s only three weeks until our next trip, but…” She leaned in closer and lowered her voice. “What are we going to do for those three weeks?”

“We’re going to talk and text about everything we’re going to do next month,” Kelsey said with a sexy smile.

“God, help me.” Isabella sighed. “I have no idea what I’m doing.”

“Yes, you do,” Kelsey whispered.

Dana leaned towards them from where she sat on Kelsey’s other side. “What are you whispering about?” she asked in a faux whisper.

“Wouldn’t you like to know,” Isabella said. “Nosy.”

Dana had a shocked look on her face, making Isabella and Kelsey chuckle. “We’re not talking about anything special,” Kelsey said. “Just the trip.”

“When do we get to hang out again, Isabella?” Dana asked.

“Not next month,” Isabella said. “Your mom and I need to relax.”

“Oh, it must be so hard going to the Virgin Islands every month,” Dana said sarcastically.

“You’d be surprised,” Kelsey said.

“Yeah, I didn’t see you planning any of the videos or pictures to get the best views or writing any of the copy for the blog or other posts,” Isabella said.
