I’ll Reach For You

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 41

There isn’t anything more beautiful to look at
“What happened to you your neck?” I turn to look at dad; we are sitting in the couch watching TV. Hunt sits to my left holding my hand between us. She squeezes mine, and I can feel her eyes on me. My head is spinning around, looking for something to say. No matter how many times I tell Hunt to stop putting her teeth on me, she simply do not listen. She just has to bite everything, neck, ears and even my thigh. That girl is driving me insane sometimes.

“I-I don’t know.” I answer, it was a weak thing to say and it made Hunt snort. I turn to look at her; she looks the other way and scratch her neck. I know she is struggling to keep her laugh inside. This is her fault, goddammit Hunter.

“Okay.” Dad answer, unsure, but continue to look at the TV. I take a deep breath, and kick Hunt in the leg. She snorts again, making dad look at us.

“What’s so funny?” He asks. Hunter shakes her head.

“Nothing.” I answer.

“You two have been acting weird for a while now, I do not mean today, but since we left grandma. Fighting in the back seat, running around like two five-year olds, and all the teasing.” He says making my stomach turn upside down. I stare at the TV with widened eyes.

“Skylar is very funny when she is angry.” Hunter says, making my dad snort. I kick her in the leg again.

“And you are very annoying.” I mock back. Dad sits next to us laughing.

“You two sound like an old married couple.” He says, and my body stiffened.

“No, we don’t!” Hunter and I say at the same time, and then look at each other and we all start to laugh.

“Yeah, you do.” Dad says, grinning. We hear the door upon up and mom comes in with bags in her hands.

“Help?” She asks.

“Yeah, the girls got it.” Dad says, and his gaze drift back to the TV. I hit him in the arm, and then Hunt and I move out to the car. I reach and grab a bag, then I turn around finding Hunter staring at me, making my heart melt. I my gaze moved down to the ground and I feel my cheeks on fire.

“Do you always have to watch me?” I ask, embarrassed.

“There isn’t anything more beautiful to look at.” She says looking at me, just the way she can, and I put my free hand over my face. I hear her move towards me, and then I feel her lips on my red cheek.

“You are so cute right now.” She whispers. I drop the bag, and cup her face and kiss her, hard. God damn, this girl just has to make me want her more and more for every day. I bit her lower lip, as revenge for all of the marks on my body. After we finished showering, I found one on my thigh and a couple on my neck. Of course, I had to forget to cover them up. We move back from each other, even though I want more, but someone will come out looking for us if we do not go back in. I take up the bag and start walking back in, I turn finding Hunt’s eyes on me.

“Dammit Hunter!” I say and she smiles. Then I move back in to my mom. Not long after Hunt comes into the kitchen as well. We put all of the things in its place; it is weird to think that Hunter knows where most of the things are supposed to be now. Having Hunt in the house has become so normal now that I have totally forgotten how it was before she came here. She has made things so much fun and I can’t stop feeling happy. I can’t stop looking at her without feeling my heart on fire, the tingling feeling in my stomach, and the smile that comes on my face when I see hers. She is so perfect that I can’t believe that she is mine, I must be the luckiest person in this goddamn world.
