This Has To Stop

Saphy practically swooned, but caught herself.

Kenneth siled. "So....|"

"Ladder," Saphy said, moving over to it. "We need to get to my room.."

"We do...let me go first..."

"Okay," she said softly. "Be careful."

Kenneth smiled, going to the edge and disappearing.

Saphy lay on her front by the edge, watching Kenneth's progress.

"Don't fall!"

"I won't," Saphy smiled, moving round and putting her feet on the ladder.

Kenneth waited, ready to catch her.

He would be getting a nice view of her bottom. Saphy scaled down the ladder easily and jumped off from about four foot up.

Kenneth blinked. He didn't like it when people did things like that. it made him uneasy.

She landed neatly, but tripped over the end of her dress and sort of stumbled into Kenneth#s arms.

Kenneth caught her tight. "You okay?"

"Fine. I tripped."

"I saw."

Saphy blushed, standing up and straightening herself out.

Kenneth smiled, taking her hand.

Saphy took it with a shy smile.

Kenneth smiled. "You lead the way."

Saphy tugged his hand, already going in the right direction.

Kenneth smiled.
