Chapter Thirty

Yoandri's POV

"YOANDRI, GET UP!"

I crush her body with my own and hug her small frame, laughing. "Nope." I hear her let out a groan and she tries to pull me off. "I'm gonna kill you!"

Angelia moves her arms and legs like a turtle, causing me to laugh harder. "Babe!" I sigh, smiling at her upset face, and get off of her. "It's already May, that's crazy." She lays down and I lay down next to her, giving her a kiss on the nose.

"Yeah."

Angelia huffs and lifts her hair up, some of her beautiful dark brown hair getting stuck to her face. I play with her fingers, and mumble, "Wanna go to iHop?" She immediately pops up from the bed, strapping on her sandals. "LET'S DO IT!"

I laugh at her excitement and nod getting my keys and a sweater in case she got cold later. Angelia skips down the stairs and hugs my mother on her way out the door. "Baby, don't come home too late."

I turn to my mother and nod, sending her a smile. "Of course not, Mami." She smiles and goes back to watching her novela. Angelia waits patiently for me to unlock the car and I open the door for her before going to my side.

"I'M GONNA EAT FRENCH TOAST AND IT IS GOING TO BE SO LIT."

I laugh and back out of the driveway, Angelia rolling a window down. She sighs in content as wind blows over her face gently, a relaxed expression on her features. I hum and tap my fingers against the steering wheel, looking both ways before turning onto the highway.

Angelia tucks her legs into her chest and I watch her actions carefully. The way her eyes shine against the evening light, how soft her skin looks, how she slowly licks her lips.

"YOANDRI!"

I snap to attention and swerve to the right, missing a truck just barely. Angelia looks over to me, scared yet slightly amused, "Are you crazy? Do you want to get us killed?"

I kiss her hand and she huffs, blushing a little. "I almost died." I smile and we finally arrive at the popular diner. Angelia hops up and down in her seat as I park the car. "C'mon. Let's go!"

I lock the door as I get out and Angelia clutches my hand in hers, causing me to smile. Her hair bounces with each step, the grin on her face almost permanent.

"I love you."

She stops walking, turns around, and kisses my cheek. "I love you too," she mumbles before shooting me a grin. "Now let's go inside, I'm hungry."

****************************************

"If you were to have one wish what would it be?"

I stop eating and ponder on Angelia's question as she looks at me curiously. "Huh?" I frown a little and finally smile, looking over to her. Angelia leans forward so she can hear me better and I whisper, "To be successful with the people I love."

Angelia breaks into a smile, taking a bite of her French toast. "I think that would be my wish too." I chuckle and soon, finish my food. "Angelia?"

She looks up just as the waiter comes, takes our bill, and says he will be back with containers. I smile and when he leaves look over to my love. "What's your worst fear?"

Angelia swings her legs and shrugs, focusing a little harder. "Can I answer that question later?" I nod and give her a small smile, "Of course, baby girl."

*****************************************

"I feel so stuffed. All I want to do is take a nap."

Angelia plops onto her bed and I plop down next to her, my full belly objecting. "I'm about to die." I snort. "Baby, you're full of food." Angelia turns to me and clutches my hand in hers.

"Wanna watch The Stars?"

Angelia nods slowly and I find myself doing the same. "It should be fun. Soon we won't have that luxury." I nod sadly and she runs her fingers through my hair.

"About that question-"

Athene and Joel burst through the door and spread out across the room. "Why are you still awake? School is tomorrow." I slide a hand down my face and Angelia sighs a little.

"I'm keeping my baby company."

Athene gives us a small smile. "Interesting. No one cares." I laugh at her bluntness and Angelia laughs a little too. "But then why are you awake too?"

Joel smiles evilly. "Evil has no curfew." Angelia snorts and cuddles into my side. "Stop saying things like that." I laugh at her response and Joel chuckles while Athene cracks a smile.

"Well, I need to get some sleep. Tomorrow is gown fittings and I don't want to be tired." I get up as well and hug Angelia tightly, showering her in kisses. She giggles and I grin, "Bye. Honey."

Angelia kisses my cheek and a sweet warmth fills me. "Goodnight." I nod and kiss her forehead. "Goodnight." I leave but her hands clutch mine and pull me towards the backyard.

I smile as she turns around and mutters, "We almost forgot." I hug her tightly from behind and say, "I could never. I just thought you were tired."

Angelia laughs and waddles to the middle of the field. I see her lay down on the grass and I lay down next to her.

Beautiful.

I take a in a breath at the sky in front of me, the beautiful flecks of light shining, looking over us. Angelia clutches her hand with mine and mumbles, "I missed this."

I nod, awestruck and I mumble back, "I missed you." She lets out a breathy laugh and suddenly I'm being kissed. I feel my hands meet her waist and I sit up, her fingers in my hair.

It's slow, gentle. Leaving me breathless and wanting more of her touch, her warmth. "I love you." She nudges my nose with hers and smiles, her bright eyes meeting mine.

"I love you too."

"And I'm not going to stop."
