Finding Love (Bastard Princess)

"The Action Begins"

Chapter 22

"Zia!" the voice of Lance coming. I'm having my breakfast on Brian's kitchen island. Brian was already gone when I woke up, and he left me with a sticky note on my forehead saying, he has an early call for his TV cooking, and he made food for me, and he said take care, and have a good day, and he said I'm beautiful while sleeping and that he said, he kissed me before he left, and... he didn't say the three word..

sure, he's not your boyfriend yet.

but he always kissing me!

Whatever!

Brian and I become closer than ever after Lance's birthday. My siblings and friends are still here in Sweden, they want me to stay with them while they're here, but I refused to do so because of Brian, I don't want to be away from him.

"hey you there! what are you- oh! my new favorite food! can I share? please....?" he gave me the most You-can't-say-No-to-me kind of puppy dog face.

"sure.." I shoved my plate to him and he took one of my pancake with bacon and egg.

"Hmm.. the most delicious breakfast ever!" he sang before shoving the last bite of his share. "you're leaving the next day right?" Lance muttered before drinking the rest of my juice.

"Lance! that's my drink! you're so gross...!" I hisses and smacked his shoulder lightly with my fist.

"it's fine Zia.. you're healthy so I'm good.?" he said with half smile. "So what is your plan for tomorrow? you know.... how about your dad? aren't you going to talk to him before heading home?" Lance questions froze me for a moment. the next day is my flight back to Australia, and I haven't talk to my biological father.. and how about Brian? what about us?

there's no us in you two, you know?

of course there is! after Lance's birthday that  was two days ago, Brian and I was always cuddling while watching movie whenever he's home or after his work on TV. although both of us haven't said the L word, in my heart I knew that the feeling is mutual, or it's just me who thinks that way? anyhow.. I'm so damn leaving the day after tomorrow...

"I don't know Lance.." I sighed. my heart become sadden, and I know Lance saw it in my expression. "it's been a month..." I half smiled casting him a glance. "I'll miss everything in here... including you people." I'm not good in holding my emotions.. the moment I think about leaving, my tears flows down automatically. Lance held me in his arms and squeezed me for a bit.

"hush.... don't cry..." he patted my back gently. "why don't we go out and have fun? Brian said he'll be home late today, so... care to spend time with your awesomely friend?" he pointed himself and we both blasting  chuckles..

"sure... my dear awesomely friend..?" we both laugh again and parted to our rooms to take a shower and get ready for the adventure in hand that coming.

Lance took me to the park, we played there like a kids, and we actually teased some kids there and to my amusement, some kids cried because of us teasing them.. I know we were bullying, but it was fun, mostly when the last kid we bullied cried and his father came to rescue him and Lance and I run for our lives before the man come close to us. after running and running we ended our little adventure on a coffee shop and we both slammed hard ourselves on the chair while catching our heavy breath from running.

"Woah! it's already past lunch time!" Lance concluded watching the big tik tok clock on our side. I smiled at him while nodding. after some time, we both ordered chocolate muffins and cappuccino.
