Chapter Text
“Callum, no,” Rayla said. “I’m not going into the water! Ever!”
“Come on, it’ll be fun!” Callum tried to coax Rayla. “I won’t let go of your hand.”
Rayla anxiously looked out at the ocean water, then back down at the sand below her. “Nah, I’m fine, Call- AH!”
Callum grabbed Rayla’s wrist and dragged her to the edge of the ocean. “You ready?” He asked, looking back at Rayla who firmly shook her head. “Good. 3, 2, 1, here we go!”
“Callum, no! I don’t want to do this!” Rayla shouted as her leg touched the ocean water.
Looking back at Rayla, he asked, “Want me to carry you?”
Rayla nodded with wide eyes. “Yes. Yes, please carry me.”
“All righty. Just hook your arms around my neck, and you’ll be out of the water,” Callum smiled.
Rayla put her arms around Callum’s neck as he put one of his arms by her knees. “Ready,” Rayla said, telling Callum to lift her up.
Realizing how close their faces were, Callum suddenly got a dumb idea. He kissed her. Realizing what he just did, his eyes widened and he almost dropped Rayla. “Oh my God, Rayla. I am so, so, sorry for what I just did. I’ll take you back to shore so you can kick me or wha-”
“Shut up,” Rayla rolled her eyes.
“What?” Callum asked.
Rayla said nothing as she leaned in to kiss Callum back.
Breaking the kiss to breathe, Callum put his forehead against Rayla’s. “Wow,” he said before leaning in to kiss her again as they both melted into the kiss this time.
“Let’s get back to shore,” Rayla smiled against his lips.
