Sparky Fate

41° I love you

Lance's POV

I wasn't expecting her to react that way.
I mean yes it was an ambush approach to her so I expected some resilience.

She just was happy about it and agreed. Plus she mentioned she had a glimpse of the idea since dad talked to her.

To be honest, I just don't want to be the son who eventually inherits his dad's achievements. I want to make what's mine.

"I'll be late a bit baby. Going with the boys to hang out before we leave."
I explained as I kissed her forehead.

"It's okay. I'll crash at Cumber's place."
She caressed my cheek and as I picked my coat from the couch, she smacked my bum.
"Take care handsome."

"Was that necessary? I will honey, call me if you need anything."
I chuckled as I neared her to my dismay. I love that I get lost in her eyes.

She's my diva.

"I love you."
With that I kissed her passionately, slow and sure to feel her tender soft lips pressing against mine.

"Love you more. Greet Vold and Lyre for me."
She smiled with blushed pink cheeks.

"Sure will."
I left the apartment and walked to the parking lot. All you could see, is just the light in my face.

She does me wonders. Wonders that I never knew I would feel. Definitely going to wife her up.
She's now my priority.

Mars' POV

I took a long refreshing bath, wore less make up, dressed up and left the apartment.

I took a cab to my best friend's place.
Some blocks away.

It's been weeks we haven't met and yet I feel like it's been like an year.

I missed them so much and am glad we've got to bid our goodbyes since we are to leave tomorrow.

Of course I told Lance to talk to his father on our decision. Pretty sure his pop's place is his first stop before anything.

I had done some shopping especially for my small friend; Ash. So the cab driver helped me out with the luggages to carry up to the door.

"Thank you so much sir. That's so helpful of you."
I appreciated him as I paid him off.

"It was nothing please. You're welcome."
He said in a deep voice and he walked back to his car.

I knocked severally before I heard footsteps nearing the door.

"Babygirl, you didn't mention you coming. Come here."
She drew me into her embrace and since she has a big body, I was just swallowed inside.

She's my fluffy friend. Puffy and pudgy.

"I can't breathe. Cumber let go."
I tried to release myself but I couldn't. She always does this.

"Oh please, was paying back all those weeks haven't hugged you."
She said as she helped me settle in.

"One day you'll suffocate me."
I fakingly whined.

"You're so kiddish sometimes. Here let me help."

I watched her pick up the groceries and headed straight to the kitchen.
Since am no stranger, I grabbed a cold soda from the fridge and quenched my thirst.

"Hey, come here."
I grabbed Ash and lifted her up.

She softly chuckled. Since she's so excited and jumpy, I let her roam around the sofas and left to check what Cumber was doing in the kitchen.

"Help me with those carrots in the lower drawer."
She requested immediately she saw me at the door.

I took them and helped to chop the vegetables.
"So how have you and Ash been?"
Concerned, I asked.

"We've been great actually. Some job duties have reduced they introduced an intern who really is so awesome. You should meet her sometime."

"You've replaced me already?"
I wore the devilish smile.

"What? Bitch you're unreplaceable."
She irritatively laughed.

She chatted for a while, I left her finish off as I went to check how Ash was.
Immediately I was playing with her I remembered to ask something so important.

"How's you and Vold?"

"Which Vold?"
She shouted back but I could feel the tense in her.
With that, she came and sat across me.

"Well you know, your weirdo."
I teasingly wiggled my eyebrows at her with an additional glowing  oh-yes-him smile.

"Girl, we so fine. He's so weird and cute, you feel me?"
I watched her been keen if she meant her words.

"No I don't."
I removed my scarf and shoved it at the further end of the couch.

"Well I just wanna fuck him hard and same time punch his face. That kind of weird and cute."
I watched her pick up Ash and showered her with kisses all over her face.

Nothing is more heartwarming than seeing your favourite person happy. Finally setting aside the dark past and decide to do what it takes to bring joy.

"Now that was too detailed. Honey am happy as long as you're happy."
I genuinely confessed.

She's the best gift.

"Enough with me. How's you and your Mr Charming?"

We talked a bit about how fine we are before deciding to let the cat out of its bag.

"We are moving out to Croak town."
I paused a bit waiting to see her reaction.

We have never been too far from each other since what seems forever. Even though the town is a four hour drive to here, it will feel like three countries away.

"Wow! Did he go on his knees?"
A well astonished facial expression she wore.

Now that was the last thing I expected her to ask and I couldn't help but laugh it out.
I mean, yes maybe someday he will but certainly not now.
I think.

"No he didn't. He quit at his dad's job. Just a new start, new town and new jobs."
Cheerfully I explained.

"Honey are you breaking up with me? So you're planning to be a  friend whore huh? Get another best friend?"
In low tone she exclaimed.

I wanted to answer but was just mesmerized by how she'd turn the table around. Am sure rhetoric mode was all painted on my red face.

"Am messing up with you bitch. Calm down. That red face, ooh! Just hold it I take a snap of you."
Cumber chuckled softly as she took a picture of me.

"Really? Was that really necessary?"
I couldn't believe she can just twist me in an instant.

She shrugged.
"It's for the best. Am happy for you. I mean we're so stuck in this town for centuries at least we'll get to travel," she lifted up Ash and kissed her on the cheek, " right baby?"

That wasn't hard.
I expected she be more repulsive on the idea. She's family to me so her opinion matters A LOT!!

"I hate you best friend. Come here."
Yes, she dragged me into another suicidal hug.

As I helped her serve us lunch, in details I explained to her all the plans we have with my man.
Yes I have a man. How lucky am I.

I heard my phone beep from my back pocket. I unlocked it and the message popped out to my disposal.

I love you my queen.
Lance.
