We Found Love

ACT 21

The usual quiet atmosphere of penthouse of K/DA was absent and was replaced with a much livelier one thanks to the guests Ahri offered in hosting for dinner tonight. The evening meal had just finished and Akali and Evelynn volunteered to clean up the table, while Kai'Sa and Ahri led their visitors to the living room.

Ahri's high school friends, which were Sona, Sarah and Riven, accepted the K/DA leader's invitation for the evening to also spend more time on catching up with one another. Mainly with their retired military friend, which was coincidentally the same girl Irelia was getting all flustered about. Times like this were the reason why Akali did believe in the world being smaller than most would think.

When the day finally came to an end and their guests left, Akali knew it was time for the collection of her reward. One that she acquired through the deal she had bravely made with the she-devil herself. She may have played the last game a bit unfairly, especially with what she did just to distract Evelynn, but it did grant her the win.

Although, it also gave her a certain punishment that had yet to be told what exactly it was.

Was it really unfair that, despite her being the victor, she'll be facing some sort of punishment from her girlfriend? Maybe.

Would she enjoy whatever punishment Evelynn had in mind for her? Most definitely.

Late in the evening and roughly around eleven o'clock, Akali read through her mails and messages to see if there was something important while she waited for Evelynn to finish her bath. She got a text from Irelia, which told her a vague summary of what went down between her and Riven throughout their time at the arcade. After shooting a quick reply to her cousin, the next message she ended up finding and reading was from her mother, who was asking her to visit them back home.

It wasn't really a surprise that her mom would ask her of such. After all, it's been more than a year ever since she left home, joined K/DA and went on tour. She sent a message that told her parents that she'll try to visit before the end of the month before she locked her phone and placed it beside Evelynn's on the bedside table.

As much as a part of her mind was prompting her to panic at the thought of going back to her homeland, Akali refused to let herself be fazed with such a negative thought. Currently, she was focused on the activities she and Evelynn have in store for one another.

Initially, she intended on bathing together with Evelynn again, but Ahri told her to take a shower while the diva helped Kai'Sa with the dirty dishes in the kitchen. Apparently, Ahri was already anticipating the obvious possibility of her asking Evelynn if they could shower together.

Regardless of openly calling Ahri a huge 'cockblock', the blonde merely stuck her tongue out and told Akali to be considerate of hers and Kai'Sa's sanity. When she tried asking Evelynn for some back-up, the latter merely avoided her gaze and started small talking with Kai'Sa while they handled the dishes.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Akali's thoughts were interrupted the second her phone began vibrating. She swiped the gadget from the bedside and answered the call that came in, which turned out to be her cousin. It looks like Irelia was too impatient to wait for tomorrow to tell her everything about what happened at the arcade between her and Riven.

"Couldn't wait until tomorrow, Lia?" Was the first thing Akali said to her cousin once the call was answered and her phone's speaker touched her right ear.

"Honestly? No, I couldn't."

Surprisingly, Irelia sounded absolutely depressed. She expected excitement and a much eager tone when it came to this moment, so Akali was genuinely confused. She was just about to ask for the reason behind her cousin's saddened state when Evelynn exited the bathroom, which distracted her for a moment.
