"Is that what you call it?" Ardanna teased, amused by Ollie's attempt to lie and pretend that looking at her wasn't his intention. A lie that quickly dissolved the minute he grinned and admitted what the brunette knew to be true. Then again, how could she possibly resist those blue eyes looking up at her, searching her while his fingers brushed against the kayak to keep the same pace. " I knew it".
That's all Ardanna needed to say, because she knew how she felt about the slightly older Ensign, how they were letting things simmer and not declaring anything other than maintaining their usual flirty banter, and wanting to be around one another just like they had when they first became friends. " Exactly, it does", she agreed when Ollie continued, although the sight of him in just a pair of Speedos would forever be etched on her memory in a good way.
His mock thoughtfulness, as if he knew exactly what she was thinking, only made Ardanna want to tease him more. However, it seemed as though Ollie had already accepted her teasing as encouragement, with the way he spoke so playfully yet seriously. " Well, you know that I enjoy a challenge, and it will, as I'm not pretending".
It was true, she was enjoying this very much and being around Ollie was like a moth to a flame, unable to help herself from being both honest and playful.
His flirting didn't stop either, and Ardanna was no fool to understand what he wanted; she just was going to let him sweat a little more before she gave in and joined him in the water.
" Who said that I didn't want to join you?" she began playfully. " You're just going to have to wait until I get out of this wetsuit and kayak".
To encourage him further and to level against him, Ardanna sped up a bit, intent on heading to the shoreline to fulfil her promise.
