CHAPTER 15 - KAMEA

Kamea had felt a tingle of anticipation at the thought of spending the evening with Rebecca. But here now, lying next to her on the couch; hands touching, fingers from time to time, playing with each other’s; she was delighted.

JonJon—with Brenda’s insistence, she was sure—refrained from his usual chiding. He would lay it on her well enough when Rebecca had gone home. But while she was here, he seemed to put a lid on it, and kept his jokes to himself.

Dinner had been more fish, rice and vegetables; frozen Mahi that Kamea left out to thaw that morning before leaving for work at the coffee house. She hadn’t actually needed to go out spearfishing yesterday. There was plenty in the freezer already. She had only done so to get her mind clear, get back in touch with her routine. And Rebecca ended up being there after all. What were the chances?

Movie finished, and snack bowls almost empty, JonJon and Brenda excused themselves and said good night. Kamea thought she saw a little wink in her direction from JonJon as he muttered something under his breath—he must have, because Brenda punched him in the arm, and said something like “leave them alone,” before pushing him towards their bedroom for the night.

“Would you like another beer?” Kamea asked.

“Well, it is getting sorta late—maybe we could just split one,” Rebecca answered.

“Sure,” Kamea replied as she hopped off the couch and headed for the kitchen.

“You’ll have to show me your art sometime,” she heard Rebecca’s voice rise a little to make sure she could hear her from the other room.

Kamea bent down, reaching into the fridge. “No problem. Maybe you could help me pick some for the show if you like—you do graphic design, right?” She asked, popping the cap, and shuffling herself back to Rebecca.

“That would be fun—though I’m sure you’ve got a better idea of your work than I do,” as she looked around at the walls in the living room; “I like the ones in here, though. They’re lovely.”

“Thanks. It was almost dark when you got here, and I don’t have any good lighting set up in the studio—if you want to call it that. It’s just a covered lanai without any electricity. Otherwise, I’d show it to you now.”

“That’s okay. Some other time.”

Kamea poured the beer into each of their glasses and handed one to Rebecca. Her fingers caressed Rebecca’s as she stood above her, looking into her eyes.

“This is nice,” Rebecca said, her voice hushed, looking up to Kamea. “I feel so comfortable with you. It surprises me.”

“I know, right?” was all Kamea could think to say as she placed her beer on the coffee table; and scooting back into the cushions, sat down next to Rebecca. With a slight gesture, she invited Rebecca to lean into her, under an arm that found its way around her shoulder.

Rebecca took a sip before setting down her glass and slid in next to her, the fullness of her, pressed deep and close.
