Génesis POV
❀⊱┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄⊰❀

I indeed beat his ass in mini-golf and now he was sulking like the sore loser he was.

"Aww come on you big baby, just admit it that I'm better than you," I said in a mocking tone making him pick up his speed to walk away from me. In fairness, we were the only ones here so I knew he wasn't worried about someone trying to come up and take me. However, the thought was still very fresh in the back of my mind.

Running up to him and jumping on his back he caught me with ease resting his arm under my ass to hold me up.

"I should drop you you're being a dolor en mi culo. Not to mention you cheated in mini-golf," he gave a fake pout which was utterly adorable, to say the least. He's such a mush on the inside.

"You wouldn't dare drop me you love me too much." I tried to patch up his ego by smothering kisses along the side of his face down his next which resulted in his hand gripping my ass even tighter.

"I do, but I need you to quit it or I'm not going to be able to control myself."  I smiled to myself pleased with the response I received from my teasing. I felt my stomach rumble but the sound it made was even louder, I hadn't really been eating much the last few days since I was too busy working. I was thankful Matías cashed in on one of his dates and pulled me from my office otherwise I'd be half a bottle of Excedrin down and neck deep into paperwork... again.

"What do you want to eat mi amor?" I thought it over for a second before deciding on something making sure we'd both enjoy it. I wasn't dressed for something too upscale and I'd feel embarrassed so I decided on my favorite late-night food.

"McDonald's please, I'm in the mood for nuggets."

He shook his head while walking us back to the truck, "you eat like a fucking toddler, but as you wish conejita."

"Hey, no making fun of my eating habits nuggets are loved by many women across the globe," I said in my defense because nuggets couldn't be beaten if we were being honest and nobody could prove me otherwise.

Getting back to the truck he helped me down and opened the back door to the passenger's side allowing me to get in before closing it and going around to his own.

I secured my seatbelt and Emiliano waited for the detail ahead of us to take off before we followed closely behind with another behind us. You'd think having security with you would ruin the date but these men surely knew how to keep themselves in the dark and unbothered. While we were driving I reached for his hand intertwining our fingers, over the last few weeks I missed his touch and his presence. So now that he was back close to me I was going to take every chance I could get to bask in it.

"Te amo mas de lo que pueda escribirte," he said to me while keeping his eyes focused on me and nothing else.

"Te amo más allá de las estrellas," I said in return while admiring his features. I saw a small smile creep upon his face as the words left my lips and my heart swelled with happiness.

Everything was falling right back into place and I almost forgot we were going to war. The thought never left my mind for too long though, it'd always creep back around. I haven't told anymore but I've started to have nightmares about being surrounded by the bodies of the ones I love.

Mama, Papa, the twins, Mama Val, Rora, Sebastián, Teo, and everyone else I could possibly think of that I cared for laying in a pool of blood around me lifeless. Trying to hold back the tears that I felt forming in my eyes I turned my head out the window and tried to steady my heart rate back down.
