After having heart to heart talk with Aisha about her unsaid emotions, we finally decided to go inside to meet with the others. I wrapped my arms around Aisha as she kept smiling and giggling at me. Tecna was the first one to noticed us, she waved at us before the others did. We got close to the table and they are already complete and noisy.

The guys are already there with Stella and Brandon all cuddling with each other, as if they weren't having the cutesy fight earlier. 

"Hey you two love birds, isn't it a bit too early?" 

Aisha chuckled making Stella part with Brandon with a gasp. I took my arms off around Aisha as Stella swiftly replaced my place. Smiling, I went to my spot, between Bloom and Helia. 

My eyes landed on his drinks, it would always catch my attention but never said anything about it. "You want to try it?" Helia saw me all focused on his drinks as he chuckled before raising his glass up.

I never tried his kind of smoothie, it's not visually horrible, it's just I'm too focus on mine that I forgot to ask a taste of his drinks. I can get attached to something without trying something else, this drinks for example.

"You've been staring at my drinks quite awhile but you never asked to try it out" He nodded at me softly and I smiled at him in agreement, he is right. He held out his drinks out for me and I accepted it.

Letting myself get lost on the new flavor was something, the was it's rolling down my throat is pure bliss. I love it and I'm upset at myself for not trying it before. My eyes would sparkle in delight as I look down at the glass and the reaction Helia is giving me isn't helping to calm me down.

He leaned his cheek on his hand that's resting on the table, pure sight indeed for me. "What?" I blinked at him curiously as he's giving me a different look. Raising his free hand, he cupped my cheek before wiping his thumb on my lips and made me blush. Him being so romantic isn't just getting to old for me. I will always blush at it.

I put the glass down and leaned on him, nuzzling on his chest as he started brushing my hair with this delicate fingers. We all listen to Aisha who's talking excitedly about Nabu. Good old Aisha finally back. A lot of guys tried to court her, but she's too serious and uninterested that she's actually scaring them off. It's not that I tried to put myself in her life, but those guys are kind of getting on her nerves with how many flowers they would give her. I don't get how some guys can't understand what no is. They thought Aisha is playing hard to get with them.

"Can we Winx come with you when you visit Nabu again?" Bloom raised her suggestion where the others agreed and someone disagree, Stella. The specialists also wants to come tag along and Stella is nagging Musa about the bugs and stone bed which only received a laugh from the others.

Musa giggled and winked at Stella "Of course there's an actual bed, they won't be sleeping on the stone, this isn't the ancient time anymore Stel" she crossed her arms but Stella isn't satisfied yet as the horror still visible on her face.

This is perfect! Aisha will go tomorrow and the others won't question me and Riven's disappearance.

Feeling a poke on my cheek, I blinked confusedly and turned to Helia who did it. "Helia?" I adjusted myself a bit and stared up at him. I didn't raise my tone to grab the other attentions as they keep on talking with Stella, mostly reasoning with her.

Helia pecked my forehead and looked excited about Bloom's idea. "Bloom is right, it will be nice for us, especially you" he smiled afterwards.

I froze a bit and averted my gaze away from him, lowering myself before pushing myself more in his arms. "I- need to do something..." I hesitated a bit as my voice cracked softly.

I glanced up back at him with a sorry eyes. The way Helia gave me that look, I know he got my point. "You're not going?" I saw him raising his eyebrow and I nodded in return. I was about to answer back but Riven's voice caught our attention.

"I hate to say this but I'm not going, the blondie is right about the place like I can just stay here and practice" He started and punch the air which he imagined a punching bag. Sky was about to retort back but Riven immediately went to punch him instead of the air now to which Sky avoided, giving Riven the glare. "See? Point proven"

Musa raised her eyebrow and we are all listening to him now. "Wow Riven, that's so nice of you"

Stella clasps her hands cheerfully and was about to speak, but was immediately cut off by Rive.

"I'm not speaking for you, I heard there's a nice view that you really would like to se" But he wasn't done yet and even though he won't say it, Stella is going to come, she just need a bit push which the Winx will do later on. 

Riven looked at me with straight face and opened his mouth before I can react."Oh talking about it, Flora aren't you supposed to go visit your sister?" He raised eyebrow now the attention is on me. That's it, I can use that. Riven is being useful right now.

"Well yeah, that's what I've been trying to say" I looked at Helia first before towards the others. "I'm sorry girls, something came up" I looked down to avoid eye contract with them.

But I felt Aisha's presence beside me "Sure! Just come visit whenever you can, I'll stay with Nabu for the moment until he's really alright" she smiled while hugging me which I returned it back.

Everything seemed to be normal after that conversation, Helia agreed to join the group after Riven teased him off about being love sick without me. Roxy also came up and hang out with us for a couple of minutes as Musa started to get ready with Andy for the band. Riven would get jealous as always, but the other guys are there trying to cheer that guy up which I find funny and adorable.

"Flower, stop drinking" I was snapped out of my daydream while finding myself addicted to his drink. But instead of stopping, I stuck my tongue out and continued on drinking, and I'm not stopping because I'm loving this. This is my third drink and Helia just stayed with me while the girls do their own things.

The way he ruffled my hair isn't helping his case at all, I just stared at him while finishing the last gulp of my drinks. "And that's the last one" He scolded me as I stood up and sat on his lap, cuddling him while listening to Musa's singing voice.

"Say Helia, what do you like when I get back?" I grinned at the reaction he gave me, he's confused with my sudden question but then gave me his smile.

He hugged me swiftly and I sunk into his arms "Surprise me". I hummed as a response and closed my eyes to savour the warm feeling and his heartbeat ringing on my ear "We should head back early for you not to be tired tomorrow" he cooed softly and I hummed once again. Little did I know, I'm slowly falling asleep.
