3: Never Let Go (John & Lenny Pearce/Justice Crew Fanfic)

Chapter 12

* Lenny’s POV *

“Lenny!!!” The house roared with Alesia’s screams in the morning, surprising everyone at the breakfast table as I chuckled, imagining her in my head right now. She was probably stretching her arms out when suddenly realising she couldn’t yank out her arm from the post I tied it up with. “You are so dead!!! Lenny!!!!”

“What’s going on?” Dad asked as I was pretty much rolling on the floor of how funny it was.

“Tied her up on the bed.” I laughed, even if I was getting snarky remarks from my parents of how disappointed they were with me. That it wasn’t a good joke. That even if Alesia and I have been fighting, it’s not accepted.

“Lenny!!” Alesia shrieked the whole time as I continued my breakfast, taking my time. “I swear if you do not come here in three seconds, we are so over!!”

I chuckled, hearing her wails. It was actually funny. I wonder where my family’s humor side had gone to, as they gave me disapproval looks from time to time.

“Three!”

Mum even shook her head. “You shouldn’t teach Harley those things, or you will get some spanking!”

“Mum!” I was just so embarrassed. “I don’t need spanking!” I pouted as my siblings laughed

“Two!”

“Oh, and up he goes. Now we know whose boss around here.” I heard John commented as all of them laughed.

“O-“

“Good morning, babe!” I greeted as soon as I opened the door, interrupting her countdown.

I was right about my thoughts. I did picture her squirming around the bed, knocking off the pillows and comforter on the floor.

“Good morning, your ass!” She glared, and if looks could kill, I’ll probably be toast right now. “Why the hell did you tie me up?”

“Because I want you to stay with me.” I reasoned out, moving towards the bed, inching closer for a kiss.

“Well, give me a reason to.” She retorted, making a sad face.

“Isn’t this enough reason?” I chuckled, my hands pointing to her arms tied up to the bed.

But she only shook her head. “No it isn’t.”

I sighed, getting rid of the comical act I had on. “I do have something in mind, but I’m not sure if you will let me.” I admitted as she waited for the next statements I had in mind.

“Will you allow me to go to Serenity to explain things?” I asked, though I had regretted in the moment I had seen her reaction. I actually wanted to freeze the time and erase the sadness in her face. But I knew I had to do something, and this was what I had in my mind. “Just for the last time.”

“The last times are always the crucial part.” She uttered, and I know that she was scared that if I see Serenity, I’ll change my mind.

“Which is why I want you to come with me...” I voiced out. “One of the reasons I tied you up to the bed, I wanted you to come with me.”

“And what’s the other reason?” She inquired.

“Nothing, I just wanted to play some pranks on you because I knew what you’ll do and you’re so beautiful.”

“You are so dead, Len!” She exclaimed, kicking me but was unsuccessful. “If I agree to what you’re saying, will you take them off from me?”

“Fine then.” I obliged, untying the knots. “Love you, babe.”

“Where are you going?” I asked John as we saw him about to leave, carrying a huge plush bear, probably even taller than Harley. “That’s a huge bear!”
