Saffron finally had her own place, and she was damn happy about it. She'd gotten along fine with Daisy, but living in the compound with its lack of privacy had gotten to her and finally she'd requested a hut be built. The building crew was fast, which she appreciated, and that morning she'd moved into her new hut south of the compound

Okay, so I'm staring at her ass. It's not exactly my fault. Sometimes, I zone in and out. And Helen's got a pretty good ass.

Helen. I'm getting used to calling her Helen, which is sort of dumb because I never stopped calling her Helen, but it's different, now. I don't know. I don't know a lot of the time. Ruth's been trying to get me to swim, and I'm wearing these purple shorts, and I'm trying to get used to the fact that my scars are showing.

It's not like I can do anything about them, anyway.

As far as Saffron was concerned, Chris could stare at her ass all he wanted. "Hi there," she said as she turned towards him, one hand on her hip and the other shading her eyes, a dazzling smile spread across her face.

"You look great."

It's the first thing that comes out of my mouth, but that doesn't make it any less true, does it.

"I mean...Hi."

[poison_lipstick]

Naturally; she always looked great. That didn't mean she didn't love hearing it. "Always such a flatterer," she said fondly, beckoning him closer with a tilt of her head.

It's easy to step into her, bare feet on warm sand and my hands in the pockets of my shorts. I can feel myself smiling. I can't help it. She makes me smile, which probably makes me some kind of spectacular fucking idiot, but it's not like I can help it.

"Can't help it. You're fuckin' gorgeous."

[poison_lipstick]

She slipped both arms around his waist and tilted her face up to look at him. "I have some good news."

[iwakeup]

I can feel my eyebrow raise, one hand coming up to brush the hair back from her face, thumb grazing the edge of her eyebrow. Sometimes, I just can't stop looking at her.

"Yeah?"

[poison_lipstick]

"My hut is done," she said, leaning into his hand just slightly. "I moved in this morning."

[iwakeup]

People seem to be moving into huts all the time. I don't think I'm ever going to have a hut; I have enough trouble in the compound, and there's lines on the damn floor. Still, Helen looks pretty excited and I grin.

"That's great. I get to see it?"

[poison_lipstick]

"Of course you get to see it," she replied, returning the grin. He'd get to do more there than just see it.

"Good."

I can't help it when I bend my head to kiss her. Sometimes, I want to kiss her so badly that I can't think of anything else until I do it.

[poison_lipstick]

She made a tiny pleased noise as she returned the kiss, sliding her hands up his back. "Were you planning to go swimming?" she asked when they finally broke apart.

[iwakeup]

I must have been. I'm wearing shorts, and I've got a towel. I must have been going to go swimming.

I nod.

"Was thinkin' about it."

[poison_lipstick]

A swim sounded pretty nice right about then, hot as it was. She could go shooting later. "I could join you, if you let me go get my swimsuit on," she replied.

[iwakeup]

"You need to put your suit on?"

I'm teasing her, and I guess it shows. Sometimes, I remember how to tease people. Sometimes, I feel almost normal, just for a split second, just before I rememeber.

[poison_lipstick]

A devious grin spread across her face. "There's always skinny dipping."
