"Can I ask you a question?" I ask adjusting my seatbelt to look at him.
"Yeah of course."
"How are you like 21 and you own all these business stuff and buildings? Like you could be collage but your here killing people for a living."
"So what's your question?" He asks.
"Well what did you do to end up where you are now?"
"Mmm. You know. Just being good at my job I guess."
I sit back and think. "Well did you finish school?"
"Well I graduated early so yeah."
"Did you enjoy school?"
"Yeah I guess. There was something that always made it slightly more bearable." He says with a smile. Aw his smile. Oh my God stop.
"And what was that?"
He's still smiling like I just did something amusing but it suddenly stops. Noo. Wait I mean yay.
He sits up and clears his throat."Nothing." He says keeping his eyes on the road ahead.
I haven't forgotten about my school work. It just feels so good to do nothing all day like watching movies with Ellie and laying out by the pool. Oh and most importantly no mom to mentally and physically abuse me.
We get home and I still have the tickets in my hand. I need a safe place to keep them until next week when we finally will be able to go on the cruise.
Am I happy I get to go with Heiro even though he hasn't agreed yet? Yes. Wait what. Ugh I keep forgetting I like him now?
Stop. Don't think of him. He's annoying and stupid and hot.
Ellie is still sitting where I left her in front of the TV. "Hey," I say stealing some of her popcorn.
"Wait." She scrunches her eyebrows together. I just know this is going to be about how me and Heiro aren't actually married. She hasn't taken it well. "So the love story was fake?"
"Yes. It was fake." I say clearly and taking a seat next to her.
Her breathing become all wobbly but I thought she just needed to sneeze so when she starts crying it really shocks me.
"Woah Ellie what's wrong?" I scoot closer to comfort her. The love story wasn't even that good. I just made it up on the spot.
"It was fake," she cries.
"I'm mean yeah it was fake but it really wasn't that creative either."
She's balling her eyes out onto my shoulder as I hold her. "Is it that big of a deal if it's fake?"
She lifts her head up and wipes her mascara smudged eyes. "Are you kidding me? Of course." She says. "So do you even like Heiro?"
Now that's a tricky question. "I- well," I say hesitating. "I think?"
