Haven (gxg)

Chapter 23: Seal It With A Kiss

Kevdin's POV:

We are now on the plane on our way to Argentina. 

After a few weeks of finalizing everything with the tickets, the letter, and the papers concerning the ownership of the house that my grandparents undoubtedly gave to Lane's family. Talking about grandparents, Sean decided to stay with them instead of here with us. I never questioned him because he was really fond of our grandparents.

Diane and Mavy won't stop calling Lane every time they got the chance. They only got a few days left before graduation, and because we already passed the requirements and my grandma talked to the board, the school let us graduate the same day as them.

"Kevy, can you pass me the orange juice?"

My eyes went to Gab who brightly smiled at me as he lend his hand out.

"Sure, bud. Here you go." I reached for the bottle beside Lane who is currently sleeping.

"Thank you!"

He happily went back to his seat and drank the juice without pause.

"Are we there yet?" Lane lazily asked.

"Not yet." I laughed as I said the same words for the nth time.

I heard her groan.

"Here, drink some water." I passed her the bottle in my hands.

She drank the water and stared out of the window.

"What's going to happen now?"

After explaining everything to Lane, she has been having doubts about what will happen after we move out. I sometimes feel that she doesn't feel safe when I am around.

"Hey, stop overthinking."

I felt her hands grab my face and softly caress the sides. She smiled softly and pecked my lips which always make my head feel like it's floating.

Right, Lane asked me if we can be finally official. We told everyone about it and they don't seem surprised at all, especially Meg. She says that she already knew it on the day of the carnival. 

I held her hand and felt the promise ring I gave her the next day we became official, I placed a small kiss on the top of her palm.

"You're too sweet." She mumbled and before I can make fun of her flustered face, she burrowed her head to my chest.

The funeral of Dad also happened last week. There were only a few people who visited because not everyone know about his condition. It was just me, my grandparents, Lane, Mavy, Diane, Gab, Meg, and of course, Leo, who is also on the same flight as ours.

I have asked him to live next door and happily obliged because he also grew there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ezeiza International Airport. Local time is 9:00 AM. For your safety and comfort, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened until the Captain turns off the Fasten Seat Belt sign. This will indicate that we have parked at the gate and that it is safe for you to move about..."

I heard the squeals of Gab who was trying to get out of his seat but being stopped by Leo who only laugh with Meg.

After the pilot's announcement that we finally landed, we got our bags and went outside the plane.

"Ah, feels good to be back home." Meg breathed out.

I felt Lane intertwine our hands together as we walked outside the airport.

"Ms. Lowe." A man dressed in a suit smiled and ushered us inside the car.

"This car is huge." Gab gasps as his eyes wander around the car.

"Thank you, Kevdin." Meg held my hand and smiled.

We arrived at the driveway of the house and gasps were heard everywhere.

"Damn." I heard Lane mutter beside me as she look outside of the house.

"Wait until we go inside."

We left the car and Gab went running straight towards the enormous door. 

"You were right..." Lane whispered as her eyes roamed every part of the house.

We went upstairs to drop our bags.

"My room is so big!" 

Gab's shout can be heard across the room and chuckled at how animated he looked.

Lane entered our room first and gasped.

"Wow."

"I know." I went behind her and sneakily hugged her waist and rest my chin on her shoulder.

"This is where we start our future together."

Lane unclasped my hands from hugging her and turned her body towards me.

"What exactly is this future we are talking about?" She teased and wiggled her eyebrows.

"I hate how you look sexy instead of being annoying when you do that." I chuckled.

"But, seriously. What do you expect to happen in the future?" She asked as she stare lovingly into my eyes.

"Probably get married, have kids, and be cool grandmas with Mavy and Diane." I shrugged and she laughed hysterically.

"Yeah, I bet we will be those cool lesbian grandmas."

"Oh, it is already settled." I laughed.

Lane's face suddenly became serious and I started to worry.

"What's the matter?"

"How come you didn't tell me your full name?" 

She chuckled when she saw how serious my face is. I rolled my eyes and led her to the bed.

"You got a point. It's actually just Kevdin Adriene Lopez Lowe."

My eyes went back to her to ask the same question.

"Yours? You never let anyone call you Haven, may I ask why is that?"

She bit her lip and had a thoughtful look on her face.

"It's Haven Alvaro Lane. I just don't like being called Haven because I think it's...not worthy? I don't know. People started to call me Lane, so I guess I liked that more." She smiled.

"For your information, it's worthy. You are worthy, Haven." 

Our foreheads touched and she brightly smiled as I called her by the first name.

"You are worthy too, Adriene." She stifled a laugh and tried to remain serious but failed.

"Fine, call me anything you want." I sighed and held her hands.

"I love you, Haven." I stared deeply into her eyes.

It took her a moment to reply which made my smile slowly fade until she grabbed my face and kissed every part of my face.

"I love you too, Adriene." She smirked.

Lane locked the bedroom door before jumping to the bed and straight to my lap.

"We're in this, together." She breathed out before kissing me so passionately.

-The End-
