and in the perfect set of curls. I enjoyed Brianne's hair in any style, but this curling look was something unique because we barely saw her with the extravagant style. It honestly gave her a more mature look, complementing her flawless skin, slightly red lips, and hazelnut eyes.
Even though I couldn't see her face at my current angle, it didn't matter. I knew without a doubt that Brianne was the definition of perfection in my books.
She was leaning on the wooden edge of the outdoor balcony on this side of the luxury complex, viewing the scene of the sunset one last time while talking with her older sister. I swear she'd already called in the morning to confirm we were ready to go.
From last year’s experience, I guess she was just worried about the announcement of the snowstorm. It was being talked about in the news since it was completely unpredicted and baffled most of the weather analysts.
"Yup. Sebastian said he's going to teleport us there instead of us driving. Only the motorbike is left anyway. I never got to ride it though, boo. Hey. I'm allowed to drive a bike, you know. Uh-huh. Says the woman who goes killing criminals while standing on a bike because she has better aim with two hands on the grip.”
She giggled, the soft sound making me grin before she lifted her head up to the sky.
"Ya. Don't worry, seriously. We're fine. Finnick's fine as well. I haven't spent much time with him though. Uh ya. I'm trying to leave him be so he can work his magic on Kaito. Admit it! I'm the perfect matchmaker. Ugh. Shut up! Don't you have a date with Katsume since we've borrowed your man? Why are you yelling? Just get married already. Alright, alright, I'm minding my own business watching the sunset." She giggled again and let out a quiet sigh. "I hope you know I appreciate you and your team. Thanks for being a protective sister. Love you, too. See ya soon, sis."
She hung up the phone and slid it into her pocket. She stretched her arms up, and I admired her figure as her sweater moved up to show the curves of her waist.
Taking the opportunity to approach, I was at her side and offering the cup of hot chocolate when she lowered her arms and turned her head to meet my smiling gaze.
"Finnick!" The way her entire face blossomed at my arrival had me grinning like a damn fool.
"Hey, Red," I greeted and gave her a wink. "Looking extra hot today."
"Oh please." She giggled and then noticed the cup of hot chocolate. "Holy crap! How did you know I wanted hot chocolate?! Are you psychic or something?"
"Sadly no, but I do have a certain psychic boyfriend," I admitted as she took the mug and gave me a knowledgeable smirk.
"Shouldn't you have taken advantage of your alone time?" she offered as we turned to face the grand view before us.
"As in enjoying a saucy moment with Kaito?" I concluded. "You're getting bolder in the enabler department, Red."
She actually blushed at my compliment before taking a sip of her drink. "Well, school is going to be busy and all, and I'm sure I'll get more time to spend with you than either of us will with Kaito. I didn't want to be selfish and hog anyone the entire trip."
I slipped my free arm around her waist, bringing her to stand right into my hold before I moved to kiss her lightly on the lips. She stilled at the touch of my lips before returning my kiss with a deeper one; the two of us got lost in the brief moment of satisfying affection.
"You're our girlfriend, Brianne. There's nothing selfish about wanting to spend time with any of us," I reminded. "Also, you gave me plenty of time with Kaito, and I'm grateful for it."
"Have you guys...um..." She trailed off as her cheeks began to turn red. Our faces were still centimeters apart as I gave her the perfect sly grin.
"Why? Did you wanna see?" I whispered and closed in until my lips were brushing hers. "Or join?"
"I-I-I wouldn't interfere!" she stuttered, and I was left laughing at her embarrassment before giving her a quick smooch on the top of her nose and moving away to give her some space to recover from my teasing.
"You can interfere any day, Red," I assured her.
She pouted and focused on her hot chocolate while I chuckled and moved in to
