Chapter 20- You're lucky I love you
‘I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend. Lucky to have been where I have been. Lucky to be coming home again. Ooh ooh ooh’
It had been a couple of months since the proposal, and Dante and I were still living with the boys… I didn’t really want to leave, and they seemed to like us being there since we cooked and cleaned for them. It was almost more like a servant than a friend, but it meant we could stay at the house, so I didn’t care.
I stretched as I looked around, we were all in the living room, the TV was on ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ and I was half watching, and half drifting off into a daze. My head was resting on Dante’s shoulder and my legs where pulling up onto the couch. I was sort of in my own little world, I couldn’t help but think about my life in heaven… And how different it was being down here.
I was suddenly startled out of my train of thought as Dante’s phone vibrated in his pocket, which was pressed up against my leg. I yelped and looked up at him, but he chuckled softly at me before pulling out his phone. He looked at the text and his face fell.
“What is it?” I asked in a soft, slightly worried voice.
“I-It’s mum… She’s sick… They say she isn’t going to last very long.” He said in a sad voice, and I frowned a little.
“Do you know what it is?” I asked as I looked up at him, he simply shook his head.
“They won’t tell me…” He replied before trailing off.
“Do you want to go and see her?” I asked as I moved so that I was behind him, my legs either side of him as I sat on the top of the couch.
I began to slowly massage his shoulders and he nodded.
“Would you like company?” I asked, I knew it was dangerous for me to go… But I couldn’t just leave him to go on his own.
“It’ll be too dangerous.” He replied but I shrugged.
“I don’t care… If you want me there, I’ll come with you.” I replied softly, as he kissed his cheek gently, he nodded a little.
“Yes please.” He replied and I kissed his lips gently, before going back to massaging his shoulders.
“When would you like to go?” I asked as I looked up at him and smiled a little, trying to reassure him that it would be OK… But he didn’t really seem to believe me.
“As soon as we can… Please.” He replied and I nodded.
“We could leave in about ten minutes if you’d like.” I said and he nodded again.
“Yes please… I need to go and see her… In case… It’s fatal.” He replied, I could hear the break in his voice as I looked over at him, I saw a few tears in his eyes, and immediately wrapped my arms around him, kissing his cheek and holding him close as I rocked him gently.
“Shh… It’ll be OK.” I cooed softly. I continued to rock him before he calmed down a little. I then stood.
“Come on… I’ll get changed and then we can head out.” I said softly.
I lead him up to our room and closed the door, before locking it and turning to him, I kissed his cheek and then pulled out black skinny jeans, that had rips and holes in them (on purpose) there was one big one in the knee on the left leg, a red skin tight vest, knee high converse and my leather jacket.
“Shall we go?” I asked, as I looked over at him and smiled a little, kissing his cheek again, I had already done my hair and make-up, even though I had been previously sat in my panda pyjama bottoms, and a grey skin tight vest, along with my black slipper boots, but I had just done it out of habit, and now I was glad that I had, since it meant that I didn’t have to worry about it later.
