Two years later
Drake Jayr POV - Age - 37
I arrive to work slightly angry at my employees for not being open yet. They are two hours late business wise and one hour late according to customers. Is only one customer but he's always here every day, same time. I was late today but it shouldn't matter. They know how it goes.
Old-Drake, how are you not open yet?
-I'm sorry. You'll have it on the house today.
Old-No, I'll pay. Is worth the wait.
-This can't happen.
As I go in the restaurant and change the sign to open the associates come out to speak to me weirdly.
-Shut up and start cooking. We will talk after closing.
All-Yes chef.
Me being here makes them fearful and hardworking. Today more than usual. I go into the kitchen and look at them cook and start everything. I go into the office and I start counting the money start of the day. I look at the paperwork and everything before I start cooking with my team.
The restaurant opens and gets busy quickly. I cook several before I start cooking a nonexistent order because I know when will my daughter arrive with her friends for breakfast. The food is ready and served quickly.
Ass-Boss, Astrid's here.
-Are they seated as usual?
Ass-Yes.
I finish serving their dishes on a table before I grab one on my head and one on my hand leaving a hand free to open doors and serve tables. I get out and look at them sitting at the only and biggest round booth seat.
-Astrid.
I smile and go towards them.
-Astrid, girls.
As-Hi dad. Any help?
I step back and she does too so I start serving the dishes. I lecture her while serving hers.
-You know better than to help on what situation, where and who.
As-A hug then.
-Of course.
She stands and hugs me making more obvious the height difference between us.
Greek
~Don't use your powers at school. You need more training.
-I know, I know.
She sits down and I go back to the kitchens to keep working.
Later that night, after closing when I do the counts of the day, I stand to take a break. Walking through the place I make small adjustments. A chair perfectly squared against the table, both chairs aligned the same way. I sit on a booth and lean back to relax. I only realize I fell asleep when I wake up. I look at my watch to see is already ten of the night.
This late at night only one thing comes to mind so I finish the counts and leave towards downtown. The streets are quieter here, peaceful. I walk down, up and between the streets until I arrive to a specific home. Without doubt I go in and to the bedroom.
I get ready for bed as silently as possible but she still wakes up.
Gabr-DJ, you came.
-Keep sleeping baby.
Gabr-How was work?
-Normal.
Gabr-What about Astrid?
-She's fine. I know it. She's home alone.
Gabr-Are you sure she can be fine home alone?
-Definitely. She did a party once and she didn't clean up. It was the only one because the rest of them she asked before. She learned.
Gabr-Come here.
She pulls me to the bed cuddling me from behind and I let myself enjoy it.
Gabr-Come sleep with me. I missed you.
-I missed you too.
I get up and she let's me get comfortable before we cuddle again, this time to sleep.

The next day we take the day off from work to stay together.
Gabr-I just enjoy these days the better.
-Wich days?
Gabr-Being with you of course. If a bad guy has a good heart he'll be the best guy. I'm lucky to have you.
-As am I to have you.
Gabr-So, what do we do?
-I'm pleasing you so..................
Gabr-We could start with our wedding planification.
-Your brain is ready for that, mine's not ready yet.
Gabi-It will be ready on the way. If anything, the more you plan, the more ready it will be.
-I suppose last time was my actual last time postponing it. Let's go get the rings then or well, you're the expert.
I smile as she hugs me joyfully. She takes us back home and I'm not surprised when she shows me all of her plans. She's been planning all along since the first time.
Gabr-I want a colorful wedding more than a big or expensive one.
-What about the wedding dress?
Gabr-I want it mixed. It has to be tight to my body, backless, long sleeve, open bottom. The dress has a design that I haven't chosen yet but is a see through fabric except the obvious parts that will be covered. White and silver.
-My suit can be white with silver edges.
Gabr-It will be but I need your size to have it made.
-Don't wedding clothes get tailored in person?
Gabr-Mostly.
-Then let's do that.
She smiles showing me everything else she is considering for the wedding and I listen carefully. When she's done I give her a soft kiss.
-If we're getting married I need to speak with Astrid. She doesn't know about you or us.
Gabr-You telling her today?
-Yes and in a few days we'll speak all three together.
Gabr-Go then, I'll be waiting.
After another kiss I get up to leave towards Astrid's school. Might as well get it done as soon as I can. Unlucky me, everybody's gone by the time I get there so I go home. I find her watching TV on the living room while eating a bag of nachos.
-Astrid.
As-Dad, you're back.
-And we need to talk.
She hugs me before she looks at me guarded.
As-I behaved while you were gone. I have nothing to talk about.
-Don't worry, I have to tell you something important. Is time for you to meet somebody.
As-I don't like where this is going.
-I figured but still. Hear me out.
We sit down and I tell her everything about her and our future. She's not happy about it but she doesn't complain about it either.
As-She is, I have to meet her before I tell you anything.
-Just, don't be mean to her.
As-I know. How can we meet?
-Let's go to the beach this weekend.
As-Really?
-I mean, it just came to me but yeah, is a good place. You can bring a friend if you want.
As-Can I bring three?
-Why three?
As-My friend, my boyfriend and his friend.
-I can't say no so, alright. He can come too. He's treating you good.
The sigh she let's out leaves no room for doubt in my heart that he's making her happy.
Astrid POV  - Age - 17
When the weekend arrives we arrive early on the beach. Dad and his girlfriend Gabriella go in her car with everything packed there while I go with my boyfriend and friends on dad's car. I sit on the back with my friend.
Fr-Astrid, relax. A stepmother is not so bad especially when she's good to you.
-I'm not against her, is just, how much are things going to change from now on?
Fr-You're seventeen so maybe not much.
-Maybe.
When we arrive to the beach the guys set down the fridges and tables while us girls get the backpacks of clothes and food. When we are done setting up dad comes up to me.
DJ-Let's get the waves while the food is ready.
I nod and grabbing our surfing boards we get to the ocean together. My friend speaks with dad's girlfriend while the guys grill the meat. Dad is the first to go and I follow him into the wave. He only shares three waves with me before he leaves.
DJ-I'm going back to the beach.
-I'll stay a few more waves.
DJ-Alright. Speak with Gabi when you come back.
-I know.
He gives me a half kiss half hug before he goes away. I stay surfing until dad calls me out.

Once on the beach Gabi is the one that receives me.
Gabr-Here you go. DJ said is your favorite and that you would be hungry.
-Thank you.
I look at dad as I bite down my hot dog in a few bites. I look at Gabi.
-Dad told me you own a wedding store.
Gabr-Wedding dresses store and I work with wedding planners and stuff related to weddings.
-So basically you could get a discount on your dress and nothing else.
Gabr-I might but I don't like discounts that much. Cheap yes but expensive with discount is weird for me.
-Dad is a weird mix. He saves money a lot using only what needs to be used and saves the rest.
Gabr-But he makes expensive shopping.
-That's good. It means he'll pay for the wedding you plan.
She seems to process that for a while before she speaks.
Gabr-I can agree to a half payment and no more. Half or nothing.
-I like you. Do you like any sports?
Gabr-I like all but with my life I can only manage an exercise routine. I like racing and computers. You?
-I like extreme sports but I only play a few.
Gabr-Like surfing.
I nod looking at my board fondly.
-Parkour indoors, gymnastics, fencing and martial arts.
Gabr-Parkour indoors.
-Is against the laws doing it in the city so I found a place.
Gabr-Gymnastics.
I shrug at that one but still manage to have a nice conversation with her. She is actually nice and I like her. I'm helping her with the wedding stuff so I can meet her more.
Fr-Astrid. Come here.
I look at Gabi, she shrugs in a friendly manner letting me leave.
-What happened?
Fr-I saw that.
-What?
Fr-She is nice.
-Well, I mean, I have no reason to oppose them or dislike her.
Fr-I hear wedding bells.
-I want them double. I just thought about that.
Fr-You actually mean that?
-It could happen. I do have an idea on how to do it.
Fr-Tell me.
-No. That is for myself only. At least until dad approves my marriage.
Fr-Meanie.
She makes a face before we both lay back down for more sun.
Bella Faith POV  - 17
I wake up and I smile at the sight of my boyfriend already awake and looking at me lovingly.
-Hey.
Justin-Morning best friend.
He kisses my forehead while I laugh at his nickname for me. Our friendship grew into love and his doubt of my name grew into my nickname now.
-Justin. My one and only love.
Ju-We are meant for each other but we have to do something first.
-I know.
Ju-I have to ask for your hand.
-Ask dad, I know.
With my worries back I get out of bed to go back home.
Ju-Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.
-I'm not upset. Not truly. I'm just............
Ju-Just what?
-I'm worried they won't accept you. I'm still 17 and you're 22. You're a racer, you like danger and adrenaline.
Ju-We already talked about that before and the only thing is your age. One more year and they won't have any reason to oppose.
-I know but still. Feelings and reason have almost never been well together and that is my worry.
Ju-Think, what is one thing I can do to convince them I'm worthy of you.
I look in the mirror letting his words be properly heard in my brain and I think I know. He hugs me from behind and caresses my neck and shoulders while I think. I smile because I know what to do. If they see my dragon with him then he has a greater chance.
-I know what to do.
Ju-Really? What should I do?
-Nothing really. If my pet likes you then dad will be convinced.
Ju-Your pet.
-In my family, we usually have a pet each until one dies. Dad's pet already died but my siblings and I have our pets alive and well.
Ju-Where is your pet?
-At my grandma's house. I'll take you there.
He nods and so we get dressed and leave. I drive since I know the way. He asks for the first half of the way but as I don't answer directly he just waits satisfied with my smile until he falls asleep.

After a while of driving through camp and far from prying eyes but not at my grandma's house I stop the car.
Ju-Hmm.
-Wake up. I'll take you for a ride.
Ju-Where is it?
-She's coming.
I whistle loudly and wait. As we wait I turn to him.
-Please don't freak out.
Ju-I am afraid right now.
-Our feelings are the same so she will not kill you.
Ju-Kill me.
-Easy.
I hear her coming so I do the best thing I could think of and I grab him in a deep kiss. Thankfully he kisses me back forgetting his fear. I hear her landing and right behind him. He tries to look but I keep him focused on our kiss only stopping when it starts to get hotter.
-I have to step away. She's right behind you.
I walk behind him towards my dragon and he turns to look at us. I hear him curse.
Ju-Bella.
-This is Kiki, my dragon.
Ju-How, I mean you, her............ne never mind. You're Kiki the lizard, a big lizard.
He paces a bit before he comes up to me.
Ju-Now that I met your lizard pet.
-And that she likes you.
Ju-Now I want my goddess.
He grabs me to him turning his fear into lust and I started craving his body once more.
I kiss him just like before and we undress each other fiercely. I can feel this time is different from the others as he takes me roughly and several times in a row. I'm glad my dragon is here, her presence makes us more excited than before and we both know it and feel it. Today, I'm his woman until he's all worn out.
