Tears stung my eyes and blurred my vision as Akara stood at the tall wooden doors. She was going to leave. I don't know how, but I just knew that she was the one. It's a special type of feeling you get, when you're near the love of your life. It's unexplainable. I would do anything to keep Akara here. It's where she belongs, here, with me. She thought it would help, but in reality it would only make things worse.

I stood at the top of the long staircase, my azure eyes now red and puffy. Akara had tears clouding her eyes as well, which I hated. My continuous attempts of persuading her to stay must've reached her because she stood there, frozen. She appeared to be conflicted, and sad. I wanted nothing more than to assist her, but instead I stayed, my feet planted to the ground.

Her gorgeous honey brown optics were glued to the ground, her long waves of brown hair cascading down her shoulders to slightly cover her face. Even now did she look gorgeous. I couldn't wait any longer. I had to get her to stay. I don't know if I'd be able to live with myself if I'd allowed her to leave. Not now, she can't leave now.

With a deep inhale I swiftly darted down the stairs. At my sudden movement she shifted her gaze to face me. Every stride I was just counting down the seconds until I reached her. We were a few feet apart now. My shaky breaths soon eased and I halted a few inches from her. I held my hand out, brushing her cheek lightly as my cerulean eyes poured into hers.

Then, I leaned in, connecting our lips in a sweet yet passionate kiss. She seemed a bit surprised at first, but soon kissed back with the same love. It was short, and we soon pulled away, but it meant everything to me. Akara smiled before taking in a breath. "I'll stay." She mumbled softly.

With that, my eyes must have visually lit with joy as I pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around me as well, and it felt amazing. I was beyond happy that she decided to stay with me.

~ Time skip to morning ~

That night everything was good. We sat in my comfortable bed, simply rambling on and on about the strangest of things. Not a second of it was taken for granted. Even though we had a bit of a rough evening, we pulled through. If we didn't, I don't know what I'd do. I was just glad that it was over, and now the sun was started to rise above the horizon.

The faint yet brightening sunlight began to illuminate Akara's face, and I allowed my gaze to wash over her, taking in all of her lovely features. Her soft brown hair that waved like the ocean, her closed honey brown optics with gold flecks speckled in them, her smooth skin that held a tan glow. She was truly a wonder; my wonder. I liked the sound of that. My wonder. It seemed to fit perfectly.

Akara began to stir slightly, as she was so cutely cuddled into my chest, her arm draped over my torso. I kept my arms locked around her waist, afraid that if I let go, I'll loose her forever. My grip tightened at the horrifying thought.

Soon enough, her eyes fluttered open and revealed those brown eyes that I fell in love with when I first saw her. She smiled sleepily, "Good morning." She mumbled softly, the words rolling off her tongue a bit sloppily. "Hey, Akara." I replied sweetly as I brought my hand to her face in order to move a strand of hair behind her ear.

Although I wanted nothing more than to stay in that moment, we both had important matters to attend to. I had to assist Rosette with something, as much as I hated her, I still had to help. It wasn't anything too huge, though. I was only going to help with a few errands, things such as getting some documents signed and sending out invitations to the big meeting with Cade and Akara.

Speaking of which, I wasn't sure what would happen when I meet Cade. Or if Akara would change around him. Then, a powerful thought struck my head. What if he does the one thing that would tear me forever? What if he takes Akara from me?

Just the thought is enough to make me shut my eyes tightly and pull Akara into an embrace. She stiffens slightly before relaxing in my grasp, and she's first to pull away. I could hear a sigh escape her lips as she stand to her feet. "Well, Cade will be arriving soon. We should start preparing." She says to me.

It isn't long before I'm out of the bed and next to her, scanning through my closet as I search for something to wear. Soon, I decide on a pair of black jeans and a light gray t-shirt. Akara is dressed in a black ripped t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. Not surprisingly

Even in the attire she wears everyday, she still manages to shock me with her beauty. It's bizarre, and I sigh dreamily. She rolls her eyes. "Come on, Collin. We have things to do." She huffs, stepping out of my room and down the stairs.

As she exits, I rapidly trail behind her and we reach my car. We won't see each other much today, which I hated. Instead of thinking about that, I enjoy the time we have together as I drive to the immense places of Rosette. She may be the leader of the angels, but in reality she truly is sinister and cruel.

Upon exiting the car and entering the building, Akara changes. It's visible to me. Her once soft brown eyes grow harsh and darker than normal. Her walls rebuild themselves and she had this intense tone radiating from her.

Although it scares off most others, it only intrigues me more deeply. It draws me closer to her, and I smirk knowing that this stone cold demon falls apart with me. I love having that affect on her, and I'd never use it to hurt her. I really, really adored her. She's so strong, powerful.

Akara confidentially saunters straight up to the large doors of Rosette's meeting room. I allow my fingers to grasp the handles and yank the doors open. In strolls Akara, a certain fierceness laced with her presence. She never fails to astonish me. 'You show her, Akara. Show her just how wondrous and powerful you are.' I think to myself before a mischievous grin curls into my lips.

Soon enough, I find myself in awe over the extraordinary Akara Stone.
