Emily looked up from where she'd been helping Pia draw a picture as her phone announced a text from Puck. Pia smiled excitedly at her. "Puck! It's from Puck!" She exclaimed, jumping up and down.
Hiding her grin, Emily tried not to let her sister's enthusiasm fuel her own. But as she looked down at the text, her stomach flipped. She shot Pia a look and then texted back.
I'm around. You miss me? I don't blame you. You must be pretty miserable without me there.
Puck rolled her eyes with a smirk. She tugged her blanket up over her knees.
Fish and his family have got nothing on me and my guitar. My guitar's getting kind of dusty, though. Without you around, there's no one worth playing it for.
Maybe you should practice a song for me for when I get back. Is it weird that I miss being next to you?
Emily read over the words a few times, hesitant to send them. Was she becoming to vulnerable? A part of her thought so. An even bigger part of her didn't care.
Puck felt a pang of guilt. Here she was, romancing her like nothing had happened. I'm telling her as soon as she gets home. I'm just waiting to do it face to face like a man. A woman. Whatever. It's just better that way. She sighed. It was cute, though, that Emily cared. Come home. I need to fix things. Puck ran her fingers through her hair before finally responding.
I already have a song prepared. I've been missing you, so it's how I filled my time. I miss being next to you, too, so I would say it's not weird. Plus, it must be hard not to miss being next to these amazing abs.
Emily giggled out loud and then felt foolish. At least no one was here to hear her.
You do have nice abs, but mine are way hotter. See?
Emily lifted her shirt and snapped a quick photo of her stomach. Fish had made fun of her for not pigging out during the trip, but she was happy she hadn't now.
Fuck, Puck. You're going soft. Was it weird that her first instinct was to be happy just see her? Yes. Okay, it was also incredibly hot. It made her incredibly hot. It'd just been a while since she'd seen Emily and she really did miss her. You're just soft, Puckerman. Puck groaned. Savor it now while you can, Puckerman. When she finds out, you're gone. Puck stared at the image a moment longer before finally replying.
They are pretty hot. I can't wait to have them next to me again. Sunday's too far away. What time are you getting in?
Puck groaned. Just enough time to get wasted and chicken out if I so choose, she thought, but she knew she wouldn't. Might need to, though. She knocked her head against her wall. Fuck me.
Can I be at your house then, or do I have to wait longer?
Puck sighed. Part of her could not wait to finally see her again on Sunday, but she knew that happiness would not last long. She's not going to listen to you. It was fucking Jen. Her best friend. She groaned, knocking her head against the wall again. Why is this so fucked?
Emily bit her bottom lip indecisively for a moment before nodding to herself. She held her phone out and took a picture of herself and attached it to her text.
This will have to hold you until I get home and you can see the real thing.
Hiding her grin, Emily tried not to let her sister's enthusiasm fuel her own. But as she looked down at the text, her stomach flipped. She shot Pia a look and then texted back.

Of course I miss you, but I bet you're pretty miserable with me, too. That island can't be that great if I'm not there.

I don't know. Fish and his family are here. I'm not too bored, but no one has sang to me outside of Carolina and Pia. So, I guess I miss that.

I think it's just making me long for the real thing more.
