As we reach home I turn to face him.
-Fiancee huh? I'm still, I still can't believe this is real.
Ch-I made the ring specially for you. One of a kind just like you. See, is strong yet it has a beauty to it, just like you, you're beautiful and gentle but can turn deadly when need it. I love you.
He says the last phrase between kisses before he gives me a deep kiss before he goes away. I watch as he goes and when I can't see him anymore I go inside humming happily. I go to my room and I go to sleep after a nice bath.
The next morning as I go to have breakfast I notice I'm the first one to get up. I hum to myself.
-Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful life.
Ha-Is raining.
-Morning dad. How do you feel about eggs for breakfast?
He-Someone's happy this morning.
-How can I not be when I just had the best night ever.
Ka-Hangover?
-What? No.
Ka-Did you and Chimera did it?
-Why is that the first place your mind goes to? Besides, he respects me.
Ha-Then why are you so happy?
-We'll get there, eventually. I'm building up the drama. Now then, do you want some eggs or not?
Ha-Two?
-Sit down, they'll be right there. All of you.
I cook the breakfast for them and as I give them their plates respectively I take three glasses and get some juice for all of them. As I'm about to start eating my own Karma holds out my hand. He notices the ring and he smiles at me knowingly.
Ka-He didn't.
-He did. It was beautiful, simple but elegant.
Ka-Say it loud.
I nod and he finally let's go of my hand and I speak.
-I have news for you.
Ha-Let's hear them.
He-What are those news you have for us?
-Last night, Chimera asked me to marry him and I said yes.
I show them the ring on my finger and for a moment they are shocked silence but then dad takes my hand and he examines the ring as if confirming it's presence and he looks at me. I nod and he looks at the ring still assimilating the news I just gave to them. He let's go of my hand and he stands and comes to my side. He makes me stand and he hugs me tightly and he whispers on my ear.
Ha-You have my support. If he makes you happy then I'm happy. Everyone else joins in on the hug and they hover around me excited. When we turn to finish our breakfast dad turns serious.
Ha-When is he coming to make it official with us?
-I didn't ask but I suppose soon. And there's more.
Ka-More? What else can you have to say besides that now you're engaged with him.
-Oh I don't know, maybe that. We're moving to live together.
Dad almost spills out his drink at that and we look at him as he cleans up himself.
Ha-You're moving out and away?
-Not today but soon. And before anything else you should know that the living together was more my idea than his.
Ha-Is there any way I can convince you to stay?
I laugh and mom gives him a squeeze and a kiss on the cheek.
He-He's he afraid of his baby girl leaving him.
He blushes and we know she's right.
-There is no turning back now. Do not worry, I will still love you no matter where I go.
I poke his forehead gently before I stand and stand behind him hugging him from behind. I give him a kiss on the cheek before I speak again.
-I will always be your baby girl and you will always be my daddy. I love you.
Ha-It seems like just yesterday I was holding you for the first time. So fragile and cute. Now look at you. A proper lady that can take on anything by herself.
-Not everything. Besides, I will always need all of my family to help me.
Ka-So when are you moving out?
-Soon. We have to see some things before reaching a final decision.
He nods and I wave my goodbyes and go to my date with Chimera. We are looking at some houses together as he has time to spare. When I get there we see a lot of houses but none satisfy me so he takes me to a valley that I love to go when I feel frustrated or indecisive on something. Suddenly he speaks up.
Ch-I can make you one. All by myself, however you like. You make the design and I'll build it from the ground up.
-You can do that?
Ch-For you, anything.
I laugh and we kiss each other sweetly. It doesn't take long to get deeper and more savage. I see the ring on my finger and I remember the thing. As he turns to kiss my neck and down my back I speak up.
-Chimera.
Ch-Hmm?
-You have to ask dad for my hand.
Ch-I know, I will do it. Don't you worry. I didn't forgot about it.
He turns me around and he presses me down against the ground. He bites his lips before he turns to kiss me deeply in a ferocious kiss that makes all my being melt under his touch. I undo the button of his shirt and I get my hands traveling his abdominals. For a moment I get lost under the pressure as we undress each other but then a glimpse of fear fills me as he works his way to my privates. I turn away from him.
-NO, don't. I'm sorry. I don't..... Sorry.
Ch-Don't be sorry. I am the one who should be sorry.
I cry and he politely dresses me again careful not to touch me. I let out a tear that he cleans away.
-I never done this before.
Ch-I can wait until you feel ready. Don't worry about it. Then and just then, I can make it truly special and memorable.
He gives me a sweet kiss on the cheek and sits at my side giving me space. I lean onto him and he wraps his arm over my shoulders. I press a kiss to his cheek and we both laugh.
-Were you serious when you said you would build my dream house? I don't think is affordable. I mean it would be big and expensive.
Ch-I have more than enough.
-Well, let's start little and then we can expand over time.
Ch-You sure about that?
-Or not? Anyways, let's get home and get planning.
Ch-You know how to plan a construction? Of a house, you are talented. I love you, let's go.
I give him a gentle kiss and we go back home. No one is home, lucky us and I take him to my room and I take a table we sit together on the bed and we draw some good designs. I search for my tablet for good places and I find that there is a nice beach suitable for construction. The only problem is that we have to move to another city. I search for something in New York and I find an old factory. I make a face giving it away and I go to the beach option again.
-I like this.
Ch-You have some good taste. Our own private beach all for ourselves. I like it.
-Sure you do.
We laugh and I start making a plan on holographic matter.
Ch-That is beautiful.
-I want a balcony in a way that when I feel stressed. When I go there to relax as I lie down on the couch I wan to enjoy the northern lights or the clouds by day or stars by night.
Ch-I get it, watch the sky in peace.
-There has to be an indoor garden for when is raining I can relax there instead. Enjoy the smell of flowers and the nature. Karma can help you grow them.
Ch-I can do that. Do you want a pool too?
-Please god yes. With a mini fountain if you can.
Ch-Or a waterfall. Just at the side. I know for a fact that you enjoy swimming naked. Such a beautiful sight.
I blush hard and he laughs.
Ch-Ok, now then, what about the interior? The kitchen, the living room, the bedroom.
The last words come with a hint of passion hidden in it. He kisses my neck and I laugh as he does. I give a jump when I find a good idea for the room.
Ch-Wich room?
-Look, we can have a big room to ourselves with a walk in closet, a bathroom with a jacuzzi big enough for the both of us and a tub and a shower. It will be big enough we can do it there as well.
Ch-That sounds so nice.
-The living room have to be able to hold all the family ten times over. The kitchen just for three person space maximum.
Ch-You mean three muscular guys or three skinny women?
-Three muscular guys. I want a spa and a training room. There has to be a library too. Super important that the library is included.
Ch-Wathever makes you happy.
-Am I asking for too much?
Ch-Of course not. Besides, this is what you want and what you want will become a reality.
He gives me a kiss and I laugh. Then he takes me down on the bed and kisses me passionately and deeply. He starts undoing the button of my shirt and he touches my belly and I laugh at the touch. I take off his jacket as we keep kissing desperately wanting each other. He traces his hand up my leg and I wrap my arms around his neck pulling him down for a more desperate kiss. We would have gone naked right there if we wouldn't had get interrupted by Karma. He yells for me and we froze in place just as we are.
Ka-Nova!
-Karma!
We stay like that for a moment before we separate from each other.
-How long were you there?
Ka-Worried I might seen you?
I push Chimera away and he gets his jacket on again. I button my shirt again and we share a last kiss before he goes away.
Ch-I'll come tomorrow to ask for your hand officially. Love you.
-Love you too.
He gives me another kiss and he goes away passing Karma. We hear the door closing and Karma turns to me.
Ka-You naughty girl.
He smirks and I play dumb.
-I have no idea what you're talking about.
Ka-You know you do, ugh, the naughty sexy girl is coming out.
-We'll make out where we want to and when we want however we want.
Ka-So he's coming tomorrow and he's asking for your hand.
We laugh and we go to sleep at last. The next day with all of our family present I can tell the air is tense as Chimera and dad look at each other.
Chimera already spoke and we're waiting for dad to give us his answer.
Ha-What is she to you?
Ch-She's the reason I live for. I would do anything to make her happy.
Dad takes a step forward dangerously close to Chimera, I get a bit nervous at the tension rises before dad let's out a chuckle and he turns to hug Chimera.
Ha-Welcome to the family. She's a princess, treat her like so.
Ch-No, she's not a princess, she's a queen and she deserves everything.
I blush and the tension in the air disappears completely as we hug each other. We celebrate and I hug dad tightly. I can't help as tears roll down my cheeks and I bury my face on his chest. He notices but he says nothing as he soothes my nerves. When the reality of the situation dawns upon me I can't help but cry even more. He turns to me cleaning my tears.
Ha-Don't cry, enjoy this time.
-I'll miss you.
Ha-You have been away from us a lot of times. When you used to travel for your concerts, you were in a strange place constantly.
-Well yeah, but I knew I was coming back. Now, moving completely seems weird now.
He takes me towards Chimera and he hands me over to him. Chimera hugs me close to him and I smile slightly.
Ha-You'll be fine. Before you know it, you won't even miss this house.
I can't help a laugh and he smiles triumphantly.
Ha-That suits you better. A big smile and an honest laugh. I will be here for you always. Remember that. No matter when, where or why, remember, I'm here for you.
With that he gives me a kiss on the forehead before we turn back to the party of my engagement with Chimera.
To be continued............
