Lony's P.O.V
"Are you ready?"
"Yes."
Aurora's P.O.V
"Aurora! The car's waiting." Cyan yells from downstairs and I sigh.
"I'll be right down." I yell from upstairs. Making sure that I have everything I need I start making my way down, tonight is going to be the first time I'm leaving the house for any reason other than the twins, because tonight Cyan and I are going out to dinner.
"You look beautiful." He smiles at me, giving me his hand and I return it.
"Thank you, you always look good in a suite." Wrapping my arm around his we make our way to the car and he opens the door for me. "Thank you." Once he's inside I sigh, tucking my hair behind my ear. "If I ask you where we're going will you tell me?" He softly chuckles.
"No princess." My eyes softly widen at the nickname, princess? I quickly turn away, facing my window but still smile none the less. "I want it to be a surprise." He puts a small box on top of my thighs.
"What's this?"
"Put it on." I open the box and see a red silk rectangular scarf, I smile out of amusement and cover my eyes with it. Mary must have told him the colour of my dress because it can't be a coincidence that the scarf matches my red, silk, open back dress. So sneaky these two. The car comes to a stop and soon after my door opens, reaching out my hand to him he takes it and guides me to wherever we're going. "Do you trust me?" I finally hear his deep voice from behind me and I gasp, shivers running through my body.
"Yes." I turn to him.
"Good."
"Ah!" I scream when I feel my body being lifted from the ground and into his arms, I can't help the giggles that slip through my lips and his chest rumbles, I'm guessing from laughter. "Cyan where are you taking me?" But he just keeps quiet. He finally puts me down gently and instructs me to take off the blindfold. Wou! "Cyan." I whisper, gushing over the sight in front of me.
"You like it?" My eyes glimmer as I look at him, nodding.
"I do." He goes down on bended knee and takes off my shoes, with the taken off height my dress cascades on the floor as I follow the trail of roses and lit candles. Finally arriving at the front of the yacht I see a lit candle light dinner with a waiter on standby, a harpist and a woman holding a large bouquet of flowers. When she sees me she makes her way to me, holding the flowers in my direction.
"Good evening miss Aurora, these are for you." I run my fingers over them and smile.
"Thank you, they're beautiful." I say to Cyan. Sitting down we order dinner and the waiter pours us some champagne. "Uhm, Cyan." I say looking out into the ocean. "The yacht is moving."
"I know you have the twins but I assumed you'd be able to spend just a day away from them. Mary and your mom are looking after them and I'll have you back at the house before sunset tomorrow." I nod in agreement. When did he even speak to my mom about this?
"I can spare a day." Our food arrives and we converse as we eat, he makes me laugh so many times that I lose count and, I get to see him smile a lot as well. This feels nice.
"It's good to see you smiling again."
"You too." I say to him holding the glass of champagne against my cheek, putting my face's weight on my hand. "I had forgotten what is was really like to just be at peace, happy. Sure I gave birth to the twins and they make me really happy but ..."
"But it's a different kind of happy." He finishes off and I nod.
"Mm. When something really terrible happens in your life and it shakes you to your core, I think you sort of forget how to live life, you keep asking yourself as you slowly heal from it if what you're doing is right, if you laughing is okay and what not."
"It's hard."
"Really hard but, because of you and everyone else I have some how managed to escape that dark space. Thank you." He shakes his head. "I'm serious, because of you I know how to smile again."
"If I didn't have you and the twins I don't think I would have made it out of that dark place either. Taking care of you while you were pregnant with them and now, that you've given birth to them, has given me a purpose in life. You guys are my ground, you keep me steady." His words tug at my heart, resurfacing strong emotions.
"Cyan-." I say his name softly. Moving his napkin he gets up and reaches his hand out to me.
"Dance with me." And I answer by taking his hand. He basically lifts my body up and we sway to the music under the stars, after dancing we eat dessert and I fall asleep next to him as he plays with my hair. Groaning I pull the blanket over my head and turn the other way, shielding myself from the suns rays. But after some time I wake up, getting out of bed. I find clothes laid out for me on a chair, a nude, long thigh high skirt with a white cropped top and some jewellery, along with my makeup bag. Heading into the bathroom I take a shower and get dressed, keeping my makeup light I blow dry my hair and add little curls at the bottom then head out, onto the deck.
"Hey." He turns to me and smiles.
"Hi, how did you sleep?"
"Really good." Taking a seat by the kitchen slash bar, I watch him put the finishing touches to our food. "That looks really good." I say when he hands me my plate. "And it tastes just as good." He chuckles.
"I thought we had already established that I can cook."
"It's a process." I tease laughing. After breakfast I take in the sight of endless sea. "It's beautiful."
"Yeah it really is." He says standing next to me. The day falls away with Cyan and I spending more time with each other and, just as he promised, we head back home before sunset, reaching the dock just as the sun comes to set. I pout as we get off the boat and Cyan laughs. "Don't worry, I'll whisk you away again." This makes me smile. Getting in the car we make our way home and I admire the sunset drive with Cyan. Arriving, we practically sprint inside and take a hold of the twins.
"I missed you guys so much." I say giving Reagan multiple kisses and Rayn as well. "Did you miss mommy?" Reagan makes baby sounds while smiling up at me and I can't help gushing over how adorable he is. After separating my bouquet of flowers into four different vases I take the twins upstairs to give them a bath and, change them into their pyjamas. Just when I put on Reagan's pants Kim calls me. "Kimberly."
"So? How was the date!?" Just before I left with Cyan I told Kim that he was taking me out for dinner, not a dinner date of course but Kimberly never listens to me.
"I told you it wasn't a date." I sigh, defeated and I hear her groan.
"Give. Me. Details." She demands. Giving in I fill her in on everything that happened and she screeches on the other end, making Reagan widen his eyes. My poor baby.
"Kim! Don't scare my children."
"I'm sorry but this is too good, I'm coming over right now and you and I are going to gossip."
"Please bring Levi."
"Of course." Hanging up I chuckle.
"Aunty Kimmy is finally coming over with Levi." I say looking over the twins and they make sounds, replying to me. Just as I'm cleaning up the twins' room the doorbell rings. How is she hear already?! "Cyan! Can you get that, it's Kim."
"Okay!" He yells from downstairs. My body shakes with fear when I hear glass break followed by Mary's deadly scream, racing downstairs I feel my heart get stuck in my throat as I look at him. I can't breathe, I can't move, I can't do anything.
"Cy-" Everything just goes dark.
