Max POV
I wake up with kisses and I smile as Sora laughs a bit.
S-Morning sleepyhead.
-Mmm, morning.
I give her a kiss before I sit up and stretch myself.
-Oh that feels good.
S-Come on, let's go eat and have a picnic.
-Ugh, the picnic. Are you sure I have to go? Your sister might try and use me as a broom.
S-I won't let her.
She gives me a kiss on the cheek before we get up at last. We dress up and we find everyone already taking their own breakfasts. Willow and Pax are waiting for us.
W-Take this.
She throws me the basket and a lot of other things not bothering to get them in the basket. I made a face at Sora but she smiles and shrugs.
S-Sorry, I'm with her on this one.
I groan and as I balance myself I somehow manage to get everything on the basket nicely and without squashing it. I manage to catch the last words Xena says.
X-Can I get into racing cars?
I go away following as my girlfriend and her siblings go towards the beach with all their things in place. The twins turn to play a game of soccer and a bit ashamed and I turn to Sora.
-Sora?
S-Hmm?
-I been thinking, we have been together all this time and I want to keep it that way so.

I take her hand and I slide a ring on her finger.
S-Max, are you proposing to me?
I nod a bit embarrassed and before I know we're both on the sand with her on top of me covering my face on kisses.
S-I love you so much. I would gladly accept your proposal.
We spend the rest of the evening cuddling together and is not so weird or anything since we do it all the time in private and in public. So they don't bother us that much. Later on the evening as we go back home I see as Pax goes directly to the garden. I leave the girls and I follow him a bit curious of what he might do. I keep a safe distance and his attention is on a single thing so I check. When I turn to see what he's looking at I see his eyesight go towards Zola. She is humming to herself as she cares the roses gently. He can't possibly be in love with her, but then again, I have been wrong before. When she finishes that she moves to leave he disappears and I smile to myself.
Z-Max? What are you doing here?
-I was just passing by when I saw you and I just watched.
She shrugs and we go our own way. I turn and I get Sora and I murmur to her so only she can hear me.
-I think someone is in love.
S-Who? With whom?
I point Pax and Zola to her and we see as Pax looks at Zola as she eats. We laugh together holding back so he doesn't notices.
Like that we go back to our day and as we head to bed we joke around about it.
-So, Pax and Zola.
S-Should we do something about it?
-I don't think he or she will need it. Let's just see how it plays out.
And just like that we keep watching them for at least a month. He doesn't talks to her and she doesn't seem to notice him looking at her either. She is always with the other girls or just one of them and they chat together a lot and play. Pax just watches her do everything she likes in a way that is almost too obvious he likes her. We almost grow tired of watching when one day something happens.
As we go have dinner we find that Pax is cooking.
-What is happening here?
S-Pax? What are you doing?
P-Cooking.
S-I mean why? And what are you cooking now?
P-Just some pastas. Everything will be handmade. As for the why, I got inspired.
S-Inspired? Just like that?
P-Yes you know how inspiration works, when you feel it you have to do it right away.
S-Oh I know how it feels alright.
He looks at her for a second before he shrugs and goes back to the kitchen. We see as they are shaped as hearts or have something romantic related in it at some point. We start eating and as I do I notice that Sora only pushes it around on her plate, squishing a bit with her fork.
-Not hungry?
S-Hmm?
-You haven't touched your food.
S-Ah, I'll eat it. Eventually. Or better yet, save it for later. I'm going to bed. A bit tired. Night.
She gives me a sweet kiss before she goes away. I save her food and I turn to finish mine before I follow her to our room. I find her wrapped in a coccoon with both blankets. She could be sick and like that I check her.
-No fever, you're not sick.
S-Is still cold.
-Come here, I'll warm you up.
I get on the bed and I wrap myself around her getting under the blankets with her and I get her on my arms and hold her tight to my chest.
-Better? Do you feel bad or anything at all? Does it hurt anywhere?
S-I'm only cold. Don't worry, just hug me tight. Stay here with me.
I give her a kiss on the forehead.
-As long as you want me to.
With that we fall asleep tangled together.
Pax POV
I am looking at pictures I took of Zola while nobody was looking and I sigh a bit exhausted as I can't bring myself to speak with her. Ugh, what is wrong with me? Why am I being such a coward? Like that I spent all night thinking of something to do with her to let her know how I feel but I end up with nothing. She has such an harmonious voice, her blonde hair that shines like gold when the sun shines on her, the silver streak she has that she tries to keep to the side of her face but it stills pops out rebelling against her. Her sky blue eyes that has the passion of a dreamer. With a vivid metal picture of her in my mind I fall asleep for the night.
The next morning as I wake up I get ready for the day. When I get out of my room I bump into my twin sister.
-Sorry, my bad.
W-Don't worry. So, how is Zola?
I turn to her and she smiles knowingly.
W-Everyone here knows that you're head over heels for her and that she likes you too.
-She likes me?
W-Of course, otherwise she would have hit you a long time ago.
-Since everyone hates me. Of course she would. But, if she likes me, then why doesn't she says anything or gives me a clue or something?
W-You really are a blockhead. She's obviously playing hard to get. You have to make the first step.
I groan and she hugs me sideways.
W-You'll be fine. Now go, talk to her.
She knocks on her door and she leaves me alone as she hides from where she can see and hear me as Zola opens the door. Her smile only leaves me speechless.
Z-Hey, Pax, what are you doing?
-Ah, uh, oh, this, I want........
I shift a bit uncomfortably and she tilts her head to the side and my heart stops for the moment as she looks adorable like that.
-I want to take you on a walk.
Z-A walk?
-Yes, enjoy the fresh air of the morning breeze, the smell of flowers and the birds singing. You like that?
Z-After breakfast, wait for me there.
I nod and she waves at me as she closes the door. I let out a sigh and as I walk to the kitchen Willow stops me.
W-Really? A walk.
-We can talk while we walk.
She let's out a sigh and we get to the kitchen. As I wait for Zola to come I grab a jacket and looking at it I fidget my fingers on the neck of the jacket. I am so into my thoughts that I almost shed my skin when I feel a hand on my shoulder.
Z-Ready?
-Ah.
I jump and when I see who it is I grow quiet as she looks very cute. Goddess, beautiful, divine, astonishing amongst other words come to describe her beauty.
