Running The World With You

No regrets

Lucius POV:

"You'll never be fucking good enough!" My dad spits into my face. I look around and see my home, burning.

"Dad, we have to get out of here! We are in the middle of a fire!" I shout. He just shakes his head and brings his hand out to slap me. He does and knocks the wind out of me.

"This is your fault Lucius. Your a pathetic excuse of a man." He hisses. I look for an exit but there are none.

Suddenly, my dad is replaced my Amora, she's looking at me, hatred in her big brown eyes.

"You monster! You raped me! You monster! I hate you!" She screams. I feel tears clouding my eyes.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry..." my voice trails off.

*******
"Lucius, are you alright?" I hear a familiar voice say. I jolt awake to see Amora, still in my arms. She's looking up at me with eyes laced with concern.

"Bad dream." I groan.

"Want to talk about it?" She asks in that perfectly innocent tone of hers. I'll never get sick of how innocent she is.

"It was just my father telling me I was worthless while our home burned down and you telling me I raped you and that you hated me." I confess. She brings her head back to my chest.

"I'm so sorry. You know I love you, right?" She assures. I let out a low chuckle.

"I know. I love you too Amora."

*****
"Your a big baby!" She taunts. I roll my eyes. I am not going down a black diamond!

"I barely know how to do pizza!" I exclaim. She cracks a smile and shakes her head. Her goggles reflecting my face.

"Just watch me! You can go down the green next to me." She skis over to the run and goes down without hestation. She's going pretty fast and she defiantly knows what she's doing.

I nervously go down the green run next to her. I slowly go back and forth until I get my groove. This woman will be the death of me. Trying to make me go on black diamonds on my first time!

I eventually catch up to her at the bottom. She stares at me through her face mask and goggles, clearly amused.

"You ski like a child." She mocks. What does she expect?

"This is my first time!"

"So there is something Lucius Balcray isn't good at." She jokes. I laugh and attempt to ski over to the ski lift but end up landing straight on my face.

Amora bursts into a fit of laughter. I scoff and attempt to get up from the freezing snow, but I fall down again.

She helps me up and pats me on the helmet. I can practically see her smug grin under the mask.

"Come on we will go on the bunny hill." Kitten giggles. I laugh and take her hand.

*****

We are wrapping up dinner at the little Italian place on property. The food isn't great, but it's a nice restaurant.

I sign and put my credit card on the bill. She scoffs and looks at me funny.

"You don't always have to pay." She remarks.

"Yes, but your my wife and I like to kitten." The busboy takes away our plates. Kitten got chicken Marsala and I got spaghetti and meatballs. I like the basics.

"I like when you call me your wife." Kitten confesses. Her cheeks turn an adorable shade of red.

"I know a couple other names you like to, kitten." I send her a wink. Her blush is out of control.
