"Well...I..."

I was waiting patiently...

Looking at the lips of the man who looks at my beloved like I do.

What am I expecting anyway?

~

The moment I step foot outside and was mesmerized by what I was missing out this whole time, I realized that I'm blessed. I'm so lucky to have met such wonderful people in my life. I'm so lucky to be alive, just to see this very moment when I felt free the most, while knowing that there are people behind me who will smile at my happiness. And I was right. The moment I look back I saw Enzo on his way to hug me with a wide grin on his beautiful face. I laugh as I saw the others doing the same.

They are happy for me.

"Shall we go, Hon?" Lantice took my hand as he lead me to a white funny looking thing. I smiled as I saw Linx inside. Lantice opened the door and I saw Enzo and Canary sat at the back of it while Vaughn sat inside  as well... well... I look at Lantice who was smiling at my clueless gaze.

"I assume you haven't ridden a car before? Or at least don't remember sitting at one?" His kind gaze reassuring me.

"Yes." I said laughing at it. Since I can't really contain my excitement right now.

"You'll be fine, Hon."

Vaughn once again reassured me extending his hand for me to take. I sat beside him as Linx said that we're going. I was so tensed that when the car starts moving I nearly panicked.

"Sky its going to be fine. You're fine, you're fine." Vaughn repeatedly said as he caressed my head.

I look at him nervously and he just smiled at me. Its unfair though, he was beautiful enough but his gaze keeps on making me fall for him even more. He kissed me unexpectedly and I could do nothing more than to kiss him back. I didn't even realized that we are now moving in high speed.

"Please enough, Sky's lips are red enough as is. Don't make it more obvious now." Canary interjected that I can't help but to laugh. I unexpected love Vaughn's affection today.

"So Sky this is..."

Enzo and Canary gave me a run down of what things are gonna be once we arrive at our destination. What to expect and what to do. What things are for and how to use it. Small things that I unexpectedly would need. I was enjoying it but as expected it was too much... well I guess that's just normal in my case. I couldn't help but smile as I watch the two of them fretting over small things so seriously. I really do love them... more than my freedom, now.

"Sky, are you listening? Pay attention, please." Canary firmly said looking at Enzo once again.

"So this is how you carry this type of bag Sky, you can even sling it across your shoulders or carry it in this side."

I look at the Bag Canary has been holding this whole time as they explained every detail the content of the bag was for. Uhmm I just couldn't interject that I know how to use a pen and paper... at this rate, I can't help but think that they're going overboard. 

Do I look that... dumb?

Still, I just laugh at how adorable this two is.

"Yes, thank you." I said as I planted a small fleeting kiss in Enzo's and Canary's cheeks, at least i know they cared for me this way.

I saw a slight blush at their faces before Enzo practically pounced on me, well, kissing me on the process.

"Stop it you two. We are here." Linx said as I looked outside the car just to be met by a gate leading to the building they call a school.
