Jubilee liked seeing Kitty in a good mood. The older girl always seemed so serious and glum a lot of the time, like she was an adult or something. But somehow, now that the two of them were a couple, Kitty seemed to lighten up a lot. Kitty seemed to have this look in her eyes that was reserved just for Jubilee, so of course Jubes wanted to see more of it.
She even almost said “I’m happy you’re happy,” but that would be lame. Jubilee had to have some standards, after all.
Her belly flipped when Kitty invited her closer. She immediately skipped over with the widest grin, but then she slowed her pace when she realized that her girlfriend was calling her over. That meant she couldn’t just bounce into Kitty’s lap like a puppy. So she gave Katherine Pryde what she hoped was a sexy look and sauntered over to the blanket where her girlfriend was waiting.
Or maybe ‘girlfriend’ was too high-school. Paramour? Lover? Okay, way too romance novel or Late Night Skinemax. She and Kitty hadn’t actually done it, yet, but she wondered if maybe they were getting close. Maybe that’s why Kitty was calling her over?
Focus. Saunter. Walk like Storm. Ms. Frost would be overkill, but maybe somebody ladylike--
And then Jubilee’s sandy bare feet got tangled up in the beach blanket, and she tumbled face-first on top of Kitty. Because Jubilee was definitely a born gymnast and totally had this lady thing down.
