TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW. That's how many nights of meeting outside the motel in the late hours of the night that it took Scott to finally acknowledge Kennedy in public.
It was a small moment inside the diner at the truck stop. All of the Tornado Wranglers were sitting at one huge table, eating breakfast together as they talked emphatically about how many storms they'd probably see that day.
Tyler had his arm slung around Kennedy as always, who leaned into his side pathetically — because god help her, she still craved him so much of him most of the time.
Dani was praising Tyler and Kennedy, telling them how amazing the viewer turnout was for their video from yesterday where Tyler gave his 'lesson' to Kennedy about outbreaks.
And it wasn't her only lesson of the day. Later that night, when everyone was asleep, she met Scott by the pool again. She was the first one there and had anxiously waited for five minutes, wondering if he was going to show or leave her waiting all night.
Not that she cared if he showed or not.
But she also would've waited all night for him.
When he did show, he was still in that StormPAR shirt, making her wonder if he owned anything else. She even joked about it, which made him smirk. He had dimples, she realized then. And they made his already beautiful features somehow more perfect.
It wasn't that Kennedy cared that Scott was beautiful — but she wasn't blind. Even she knew he was the handsomest man she'd ever seen, Tyler included.
That night, Scott led her to his truck, showing her the PAR. With a screwdriver in hand while she sat on the tailgate, he showed her all their different equipment in the dim lighting, teaching her all about it as she listened intently. Then when she asked what 'Lion' meant as is was airbrushed on the back of the particular truck, he explained that the others were all Wizard of Oz themed, which Javi had fought for.
She thought it was terribly adorable of Javi to insist on naming them that.
Now, Kennedy was leaning sleepily against Tyler, not even regretting that she stayed up so late because she wasn't miserable when she was with Scott. He took her mind off of so many horrible things.
Unfortunately, someone noticed her tired state
"You look exhausted, Kenny," Boone noted. Then he smirked at her, leaning in close. "Tell Ty to let you get some sleep sometime."
Kennedy forced a laugh as Tyler smirked as if he was the reason that she was so exhausted. She hated it. She hated lying to their friends — it was like Tyler was playing them for fools along with all their fans.
