My mind keeps drifting back to Flame, I haven't seen him since this morning. Because he has something to do, together with Nacho. I don't know what they are doing, but I don't think I really wanna know. As long as Flame comes home unharmed, everything is good. There is a little feeling of nausea because he could be hurt. I shake my head. No, I know that they watch out for each other. They will both come back alive. My shift at the club has ended two hours ago, and I got back to Flames house, to distract myself. Cause I got a phone call from my lawyer because of the court hearing against Leo. And I still can't believe all the things he told me, I have so much to tell Flame. God, this heritage is so damn big, I couldn't spend all this fucking money in ten years, even if I would try. The lawyer told me that Leo has no chance to get the heritage cause he's not my relative or my legal guardian. But he also said, that we will get Leo into jail. Also because Nath and his mother will also accuse Leo for some things. And Nath even asked if he could stay here in San Diego, to which Sam and Mary said yes immediately. I focus on the laptop in front of me, I read through the description of the penthouse again. It's perfect, I read all the infos three times. The place is so fucking big, it would be just fine for us. It's relatively central, not far from the college, or the club, or Flame's house. And also not too far from Bonnie and Alessio's. Which is important for me, cause I want to still be close to them.

I click through the pictures of the penthouse, big and lots of windows. And the view seems good too, but what I like best about the penthouse is the open living room and the place is so big that it even has a guest room. I'm toying with the idea of booking a tour, but I should talk to Flame first. After all, he should like the penthouse too, cause he will live there too. I listen to the quiet sound of the Waterfall inlet of the pool, I'm standing on the not so deep end of the pool, cause I know that I will not drown here. I take a sip of the glass of wine. I don't know which type this is, but it's a red wine, and it tastes kinda good. And Flame said I could open a bottle, so I did, also because of the news with the heritage. Fucking millions of dollars, and the rights to all that is contacted to my father, which are also millions. "Baby?" I hear Flames voice, "I'm outside..." I let him know. Soon after I hear his heavy footsteps approaching me, I lift my gaze and my eyes widen as I see his blood splashed face and clothes. "Are you ok?" I ask, he smiles at nods, "I'm fine Baby..." he says before he kicks of his shoes, he takes off his pants and t-shirt and slowly slides into the pool. "Do I wanna know what you did?", I ask, he shakes his head, and reaches for my face. A smile creeps on my lips and I lean towards him, wrap my arms around him and let him touch my face. His thumb glides over my lips, "your lips are redder then usual..." he says, "yeah... the wine" I whisper, he nods and hums a quiet "mmhh." I smile wider, "do you kiss me now or not?" I ask, Flame smiles and leans down to kiss me. Electric sparks shoot through my body, and I melt against his lips, Jesus, why does he have this power over me? He breaks the kiss and looks at me, "everything OK? You seem a little off" he asks, I shrug. "I had a call with the lawyer..." I explain.

"And?" He asks while his finger brushes through my hair. "He told me that everything will work just fine. And I know how much is the heritage worth now." Flame nods, "much?" He asks, I nod, "Yup... millions." Flame whistles. "Wow... guess I'm sleeping with a millionaire now" he says, I laugh. "You kinda am, also Nath and his mother will drag Leo's ass to court too," I explain, he smiles, "that's good." I nod and wipe the blood of his face, he grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers. "I started looking at apartments again, and I found a penthouse. It's hella expensive but...", he interrupts me, "show me the place," he whispers. I pull him to the laptop, and he clicks through the pictures. "It's perfect, baby..." he says, a grin spreads over my lips. "You think so?" I ask. He nods and kisses my forehead, and smiles softly. "I thought about booking a viewing of the penthouse..." I whisper, he grins. "Yeah... do it, " he says, I smile slightly and book the viewing with one click. "How was your day?" He asks, "it was OK... not stressy or anything. The club was quiet, and I had some good conversation with John, oh, and your dad." I say, Flame smiles wider and wraps his arms around me even tighter. "And I thought about something..." I whisper, he looks down at me and crock his head. "About?" He asks, I sigh, "promise me, you don't laugh at me," I murmur, he cups my cheeks, "Baby, I would never laugh about you," he whispers, I smile slightly, "well I thought about traditions." I lift my gaze to his face, "what about traditions?", he asks, "well... I thought we could make a new one. I mean, the Club is closed on Sundays. And there is enough space to put some tables together, and to eat together. Like a family dinner, cause uh... I really like this nights at Alessio's. And I don't want to miss them, and I know it's a stupid idea..." he interrupts me with a kiss. "It's a great idea..." he says as he pulls away. "I will tell my father, he will love the idea. I'm sure of that..." he whispers against my lips. "Really?" I mutter, he nods, "Yeah..." I smile and he pulls away from me. "I'm gonna swim some rounds, to get down. It was a stressful night, and I'm still full of adrenaline," he whispers, I nod and watch him swim for a while.
