We Found Love

ACT 22

ACT 22

Maybe the world just really wanted to put their relationship to the test. To see how strong their love is for one another. No one might know the reason why, but each problem solved was always replaced by another. They somehow had no choice but to fight through it all. It didn't matter how difficult the obstacle was, they always got around it in the end.

It's been officially a week ever since Akali said she wanted Evelynn to meet her parents. She and Evelynn will be flying to her hometown later to do just that, while Kai'Sa and Ahri chose to stay behind after convincing themselves that this was something only the couple needed to sort out on their own.

Last night, the rapper and the diva were huddled in bed together, whispering sweet nothings in between the kisses they gave each other. During that time, they were sleeping on Akali's bed. Ahri had mentioned in passing about how the freestyler's bed was becoming more of a display rather than a useful furniture. Evelynn came up with a suggestion and long story short, every other day, they'll switch with which bed they'll be sleeping on as a form of compromise towards their leader's little comment.

Throughout the beginning of the recent evening though, Akali kept telling her girlfriend a few things her parents might say about them once they meet. Admittedly, Evelynn found Akali's concerned self rather cute. Over and over again, Akali kept mentioning that Evelynn would have to dress much more conservatively when it comes to the official meet to avoid any negative comments towards her choice of attire from her parents, especially her father, who took a woman's modesty and way of dressing quite seriously.

Evelynn was honestly anything but modest, but for Akali, she'll make at least a bit of an effort in being such.

"Akali darling," Evelynn called out as she stepped out of her bedroom and adjusted one of her earrings. "the interview starts in thirty minutes. We need to leave."

"Just a sec!" Akali responded back from her room.

"Do you need help with your hair?" Despite not acquiring an immediate response, Evelynn made her way to Akali's room, her heels softly thudding against the carpeted floor of the hallway.

"Uhh... Not exactly?"

Evelynn chuckled at the reply, pushing the ajar door completely open as she walked inside the room. "Your uncertainty is endearing, darling."

For a short moment, Evelynn stopped at the doorway and took in the sight of a shirtless Akali. The only thing the rapper was wearing were black and white sneakers and a pair of jeans Evelynn vaguely remembered in buying for the said artist during one of the first few months of their meeting.

Akali, who only had a plain white bra as her top clothing, had three types of upper clothing in hand, her facial expression saying it all. She seemed to be torn in choosing between the three shirts she had in her clutches.

"Should I go for the turtleneck? Isn't it too dressy? Or maybe the T-shirt? Too casual?" Akali asked her questions one after another, not really giving Evelynn an opportunity to speak. "Or should I go with the button-down? Y'know, to look at least a bit casual but still semi-formal?"

"..."

When Akali received not a single word from the other singer, she took her gaze away from her clothes and directed them to Evelynn, who she then found smiling fondly at her. The moment their eyes found each other, the diva approached her with a strut that could rival a true goddess' own walk.

"I think..." Evelynn started, halting just a step away from Akali. She took the T-shirt and the turtleneck and tossed them towards the bed before taking the dark green button-down next, holding it up for Akali to easily slip on. "...this'll suit you nicely."
