Sucking in a shuddering breath, Kenzie let Hunter hold her. Then all the tears she had pent up from watching her father and Hunter arguing let loose and she sobbed into Hunter's shoulder.
"I'm sorry. That's not— that didn't go how I thought it would," she apologized between sobs.
"He was only trying to look out for you," Hunter murmured, running his fingers through her hair. "A normal father wouldn't let any of my father's offsprings near his daughter."
"Hunter," she whispered, looking up at him. Tears still flowed freely down her cheeks, but her face had a concerned expression. "Hunter, you're an amazing person. There is no reason my father should judge you by what he thought of your father in high school. That was a long time ago, and he should just let it go. Just like you need to let go of whatever is making you think this way."
Hunter chuckled, wiping away her tears.
"I don't like it when you cry, Kenz," he murmured, kissing her on the forehead. "It's true that your father shouldn't have judged me based on what my father was in high school, but what else could he do? I'm my father's son, Kenzie. There's no reason for your father to be accepting. I know I'm not like my father, but nobody knows if that'll stay the same. I don't know if I wouldn't turn into the monster my father is. I don't know if I won't do the same things he did, maybe even worse. But despite all of my fears, I don't want to leave you. I don't want you to leave me."
A light smile lifted Kenzie's lips, and she said quietly, "I'm not going to leave you. Not as long as you don't leave me."
(Ugh, I've gtg.) :(
"I won't leave you either," Hunter promised. "Now smile for me, Kenz."
(It's okay, I have to go too)
(I'm back. And so bored.)
Kenzie cocked her head to the side and gave Hunter a look before finally humoring him. She gave him the biggest smile she could muster, then pecked him on the cheek.
(I'm back!)
Smirking, Hunter trapped Kenzie between himself and his car. He leaned closer, his lips brushing lightly against Kenzie. He felt her get on her toes to kiss him, but before their lips touched, he changed the course and instead neared them closer to her ear.
"We should leave," he whispered, his lips curved up into a sly smirk.
Sweet revenge…
"Luna, why did you come here?" Matthew asked her. He turned his body toward her, his nose above her head, almost touching her hair.
"Well, I figured I'd learn more about this mysterious stranger who had somehow charmed me." Luna responded. She carefully looked up at Matthew and smiled at him.
Matthew laughed. "No, no. Of course, I knew why you followed me down here…" he gestured to himself, making Luna laugh even more.
"I meant, why did you come on this cruise?" When he saw Luna's face darken, he shook his head. "You don't have to answer that, I'm sorry."

(dies 😹)
Kenzie pouted at Hunter, then stuck her tongue out at him. "Fine. It's getting late, anyway, and we still have to pick my car up from school," she acknowledged.
Smirking, Hunter opened his car's door and sat inside.
"Yup, we should get going before it's too late," he agreed, still grinning.
Rolling her eyes, Kenzie got into the passenger seat.
"You know, our friends weren't even supposed to be on that date yesterday," she reminded Hunter, avoiding his eyes by looking out the window. She didn't want him to see the grin he had put on her face, even though he'd been teasing her.
(gasps This was almost on page 2!)

(Eh?)
“Keep reminding me,” Hunter scowled. “I was glad to be alone with you.”
(gasps This was almost on page 2!)
(Eh?)
(The RP was almost pushed onto the second page, where all the dying RPs go.)
“Keep reminding me,” Hunter scowled. “I was glad to be alone with you.”
"So? How're you gonna make up for it?" Kenzie asked playfully. Finally facing him, she raised an eyebrow and smirked.

“Me? It was your fault,” Hunter scoffed. “You suggested it. You make it up to me.”
Kenzie grinned at him, then leaned casually back in her seat. "Well, I might have an idea for that, then," she stated mysteriously.
“Better me amazing, then,” Hunter parked his car near Kenzie’s. “Wow, your car’s such a loner.”
"Oh, hush, you!" Kenzie exclaimed, swatting Hunter's leg before climbing out of the car. "I can't say what you'll think of it, but it'll be nice and quiet, that's for sure."
(I have to go soon, so if I just disappear, that's why.)
Hunter grinned, grabbing Kenzie’s arm before she got out.
“What? Gonna leave without a goodbye kiss?” he teased, grinning.
(I have to go soon, so if I just disappear, that's why.)
(Oki!)
Kenzie shrugged, a grin still lighting her face. "Well, I thought I was going to come back to your place so you could make me dinner, but I guess I'm just going to go now," she said, teasing him back.
Hunter shrugged.
“Looks like you can’t get enough of my food,” he said. “Could it be why you’re dating me?”
Kenzie gasped dramatically, her eyes wide. "How did you know?" she asked, placing a hand over her heart.
