I closed my eyes while caressing Flora's hair while her breath is in steady form, indicating that she's in her deep slumber already. She looked so peaceful and I don't have the heart to wake her up. My shoulder is getting a bit uncomfortable and aching but I can endure it for her. I'm guessing she's tired and full from the drinks, I never saw her indulge in too many glasses before. Looking down at her flat tummy, I chuckled and smiled softly before imagining how it would look if she's going to carry our child. It might sound weird but I've been meaning to ask Flora to marry me, but I just have a feeling to hold it for a while. It doesn't have anything to do with Nabu, but just some unexplained feeling.
As we are having our little moment; Musa's on stage singing, Stella, Brandon, Sky and Bloom are dancing, and the others are no where to be found. I would love to go back to work, but I'm currently stuck on my position, not wanting to wake this pretty girl up. I'm pretty impressed at how much she drank, I didn't even guessed Flora would like it, let alone drink few glasses.
"Hey Helia, there's a bed at the backroom" I heard Roxie's voice telling me I should let my flower be in a comfortable place. But what if she'll wake up? "Don't worry, I heard that Flora can be a heavy sleeper" she added after noticing me in distressed.
Chuckling back, she's right, Flora is indeed a heavy sleeper when she's really full. I thank Roxie and slowly assists the sleeping Flora by carrying and lifting her up in a bridal style with her head leaning on my chest. It's much easier this way especially our table is on the corner.
"She's so beautiful when she's sleeping" Roxy whispered that made me smile softly then nodded in agreement. She's so pure and a fragile little flower for me.
It took us about 1 minute to reach the destination and the place is decent. I learned that Roxy would sleep in here if she doesn't want to go home so I know she will be safe here.
I laid Flora down and sighed at how she would clutch my sleeve. "Thanks Roxy, I'll leave in a while" She got my cue when she glanced at Flora's hands before bidding her goodbye and going out. "Flower you're safe here" I murmured and tried to take her hand off softly.
Her hand finally came off after a while, I'm guessing she just felt unfamiliar and cold here, that's why she didn't let go. I looked around for a bit to find a ballpen and a paper before writing down that we're still here and if she needs anything I'll be at the shore.
Folding the paper into a flower origami, I laid it on the night stand and finally kissed her forehead after tucking her in a blanket. "See you later flower" I stood up and will come back often to check up in her.
In the mean time, I decided to head outside for a fresh air before giving Klaus a helping hand, I'm sure he would appreciate it.
"...?" I felt someone's presence behind the tree and I put my guard up before heading there. I could see a shadow and it's families especially I could make out a magenta hair. "Riven?" I voiced out and stopped a few meters away from him.
"Great, you can finally recognize someone a mile away" he teased and I frowned a bit. "Oh come on don't be so serious about it" He chuckled before raising his hand that's holding something and it looks like a cigarette?
I looked at him in disbelieved and he doesn't bother hiding it from me. "Musa won't like it you know" I crossed my arms but he just continue his action then puffing out a smoke.
"I don't usually smoke, I just need it when I'm overthinking, you know?" He finally spoke after taking a few hits "want some?" He said playfully offered me his cigarette but with a smirk, knowing I don't smoke and won't ever smoke.
Leaning on a tree, I sighed. "You know I'm here when you got a lot of stuff in your mind" I looked at him seriously and his eyes are hinting guilty look, but masked it with a stubborn face. "Look, you never open up to me after what happened with Nabu and I felt sad that you're bottling it up" I confessed truthfully and I expected him to laugh like he usually does when I scold him, but no, he just smiled up and pat my shoulder.
"Chill out Helia, it's not that serious, plus I'm a big guy now" He flexed hims arm that made me rolled my eyes. "Fine fine, I'll make sure you'll be the first one to know about it next time" He stopped smoking mid air and it made me surprised as he put it out instead of finishing it. "you're right, Musa will be mad so don't tell her, or I'll bust you up with Flora"
We laughed at our conversation before heading back in the Frutti Music Bar. The Winx and Specialist are all gathered on the corner talking about something.
"Finally you three are here..." Bloom stopped before looking closely at the two of us "Where's Flora?" She seemed confused and I told her that she's sleeping in the spare room Roxy told me.
"Ok ok, so we'll leave at 10 am tomorrow right? That means I have plenty of time looking for the right outfits at the mall" Stella started and I sat down on the table hearing the others arguing with her.
I looked at Aisha and wave at her as she got closer. "So Helia, I understand if you can't come tomorrow" she suddenly said knowing Flora won't be there with us. She thinks I might be hesitant to go with them when my girlfriend won't be with us, and I just chuckle as a reply.
"Look, I'm going of course since Flora said she'll go to Linphea alone" I smiled before continuing. "Nabu is a close friend of mine and I would love to be there for him, I can come by to Linphea fast if Flora needs my help" I stared at her before looking at the distance.
I could feel her sitting next to me and she's giving out a positive vibe that's visible on her tone and face. "I'm glad you are all here, you are all like my family now" I couldn't agree more.
No lies and secrets between us best friends, I wish I can keep like this forever and knowing the others, I'm sure they think the same as I do.
