Love Story: Us

Chapter 52

~~~~~ Next Morning ~~~~~

(Rose)

I woke up as the sunlight lit up the room through the balcony door. I realize I was holding on to Shilo and let go of him. As I move my arms, Shilo wakes up. He turns to face me.

"You don't have to let go." Shilo says sleepily.

"I remembered last time you told me to." I say.

"That was because I was afraid." He says.

"Of what?" I ask.

"That I wouldn't control myself from doing something like... this." He says as he pulled me in closer to him, leans in, and kisses me on the lips. I smile.

"You were always the safe one." I say.

"Maybe it's about time I change that." He says.

"Yeah." I say.

"Rose, we should probably go home." Shilo says.

"I know. However, there's this one place I always wanted to go, if I ever ran away from home." I say.

"Where?" Shilo asks.

"A beach called Klareco." I say.

"You sure love beaches, don't you?" Shilo asks.

"Yes, especially this one. I actually wanted to get married there, but it just couldn't happen. Louie wasn't interested in a honeymoon, so I couldn't do that either." I explain.

"Well, if it's Klareco you want, then it's Klareco you'll get." He says. I smile excitedly at him.

"We're going to Klareco!" I yell happily.

(Violet)

"Hey, Violet." Paseris says.

"Hey, Pas." I say.

"Have you seen Cipheris?" He asks.

"No, and come to think about it... I haven't seen Sky-Lu all day either." I say.

"They must be on a date or something." Pas says.

"I kinda feel like they're hiding something from us sometimes." I add.

"Has your dad found any leads on Rose." Paseris asks.

"No, but he has now hired a team of P.I.s to look for them throughout Suma." I explain.

"Hmm. Let's see if they could find them." He says.

"Cipheris, I warned you already. Do not kiss me like a crazy person in the middle of the mall. You're going to get us banned." We hear Sky-Lu say from the Grand Chamber.

"Well stop looking too irresistible. It's not my fault you make me lose control of myself." Cipheris replied.

"I didn't even get dressed up today." Sky-Lu says.

"Well, you had like thirty guys giving you looks that only I should give you. Don't you know you're hot no matter what you're wearing." Cipheris says.

"Cipheris, you're being paranoid. And Thanks." Sky says.

"I just feel like... if I don't show people that you're with me, guys might try to disrespect you." Cipheris say.

"Well, can you show it another way? I'd prefer people not to watch us make out." Sky-Lu says.

"I'd marry you, but that seems a little too drastic." Cipheris says.

"You'd marry me?" Sky-Lu asks.

"Well, not now. Maybe, when we don't have teen in our age, I will start to actually consider it. That is... if you're still with me." Cipheris says.
