For The Eternals

Getting embraced

Amy pov

Today is the presentation day. Jesse and I had practice so many times to make sure our presentation would be going so well.

We had prepared everything, the presentation, the speech, the game, the quizzes, even our appearance that had matching scarf.

Today's the day.

Wish me luck!

I looked at my shadow on the mirror and fixed everything until I felt satisfied with my appearance. I grabbed my bag and descended the stairs to the dining room. I saw everyone was already here.

"Good luck with your presentation, princess"

"I bet you can do it just amazing, baby girl."

"You're the best, you know it, right, cupcake? "

I was attacked by their embrace and supporting words from all of the direction. Their words warmed my heart and all of the nerves just lift up. I really love my guys.

"Let her eat first, guys. Please have a seat, Strawberry. I already made a best breakfast for you. I hope the food would made you full of beans."

He gave me a wink. I understood his pun and giggled when I saw his food. It had green beans in it.

"Eat it, marshmallow. You looked pale just like a marshmallow"

"Don't skip your breakfast, amorino"

"You have prepare yourself and I believe you can do it."

The last statement was from Dane. I thought he wasn't really fond of me since he rarely expressed his words towards me, not like the others who always gave me rain of warming words.

Seeing him now cheering me up, I thought the ice was started to melt already.

I sat down on the chair and finished the food Henry made for me. Then I said goodbye to them and walked to the front door.

I saw a land Rover on the drive way. Looked like Lucifer was my chauffeur today.

We drove off silently. Lucifer wasn't really a talker. But the radio was on and I could heard the song said.

"We will, we will rock you!"

I supposes, he was cheering me up?

Like saying good luck..Perhaps.

For the whole drive, I tried to make any conversation and Lucifer tried to follow it.

Well.. I thought he just shy and not very good in expressing his feeling.

No worries, I had it all of the time. Beside, I felt satisfied because sometimes when his hand was free, he didn't hesitate to put it on my lap or strokes my cheek or touched my hair. I liked those small gestures.

When we're arrived, we said goodbye and he asked me what time he should pick me up. I answered him and he just nodded. Then drove off to the street.

I walked several steps before a long slender arms engulfed me in her embrace. What was between these creatures and embracing me.

I always getting embraced wherever and whenever they like. Since I liked it too, I never confronted them about it.

"Nervous?"

"Honestly, I am"

She just waved her hand.

"Nonsense! You'll be great."

I took her hand and smiled to her.

"We will be great!"

She smiled sheepishly and again, embraced me.
