We Found Love

ACT 23

ACT 23

The audible thuds caused by the drop of the luggage and backpack on the floor of the bedroom echoed nearly throughout the entire hotel unit the two artists were in. The freestyler let out an immensely pleased sigh once she threw herself on top of the cover of the comfy double bed she'll be sharing with her girlfriend later on.

"Can we just order room service? I think I'm too tired to eat out." Akali spoke in a slightly muffled manner due to her face being pressed against the bed cover.

"Already ahead of you, darling." Evelynn said as she entered the room, dragging her luggage behind her with ease thanks to the little wheels attached on the bottom. "Food will be arriving in few minutes."

"What'd you order?"

"Well, I figured it would do you better to get you something else other than ramen, so I ordered us healthier meals." Evelynn said with a small smile, taking Akali's abandoned luggage and setting it aside with her own. "You'll love the avocado sushi, darling. I just know it."

Akali rolled around the bed, kicking her shoes off before laying on her stomach and seeking Evelynn with her gaze. "Pretty sure I'll love everything you get me."

Evelynn lightly hummed, her smile widening a tad bit. She withdrew her laptop from her bag before she joined the freestyler on the bed. The mentioned rapper was rather quick in finding herself a new position, casually draping nearly her entire weight over the diva's back once the latter was comfortably seated on foot of the bed. Akali couldn't help but quietly giggle when Evelynn turned her head and gave her cheek and jaw a couple of kisses as the laptop started up.

"Are we going to call your parents now?" Akali asked in a murmur, idly watching Evelynn open up one of the applications solely for video calling.

"I'm just setting it up." Evelynn said as she logged her account in. "My father already sent me a reply. He and mother will be calling maybe an hour from now? At least somewhere around that time."

"What did you tell them?"

"I told them I had something important to say and that they needed to hear it as soon as they're available."

"Are you nervous?"

Evelynn smiled at the concern lacing Akali's inquiry. She gave the arm clasped across her chest a gentle caress, her fingertips nearly tickling Akali. "Don't worry about me, darling. I'll be alright. Whether they accept you and what we have or not, it won't change anything between us."

Almost every ounce of worry was dispelled within Akali the moment Evelynn gave her lips a quick yet soft kiss. It wasn't enough for her to let the matter go so easily though. She nuzzled her cheek against Evelynn's, the hug she was giving from behind tightening a little bit.

"Looks like we'll be playing the waiting game for now." Akali said after a few seconds passed filled with nothing but the hum of the air conditioner and the occasional taps of the laptop's keys.

"Did you have something in mind?" Evelynn asked, moving the laptop away from her lap and leaving it on the side of the bed before turning around. Akali allowed Evelynn to shift their positions, which made her smirk when she had the rapper loosely pinned down on the bed.

"Sort of?" Akali replied, sounding a bit unsure. "Food will be arriving in a few minutes, right?"

"Mm-hm."

"I was thinking..."

"Yes...?"

Akali's cheeks lightly reddened as she said, "Maybe we could practice kissing?"
