Blackwater Islands i didn't mean it

Gabe laughed at Kalika's little jest, and made his way up to where she sat. Yeah well how could I possibly resist. He said, a bounce in his step as he walked over to sit down beside her. She began to sing her song again, and he watched her in awe. All the ocean to look at, but the boy couldn't tear his gaze off of Kalika. When she finished she asked a question, that had Gabe a little taken aback. It was a fair question albeit, but not one he'd been expecting. He sort of wanted to tell her the truth, not that he was lying, but he wasn't telling her all of it.

But instead he decided to blow it off, and reply with another smooth and flirty remark. If I didn't, then how would I see you? He said, shifting a little closer to her so that their sides touched.
