***Elik's POV***
Perfect.
That's the only word that defines the week spent alone with Dek.
Our honeymoon was sheer bliss. But, I'm ready to go home. Both Dek and I realized, every once in a while you need a break from everyone and everything. But, at the end of the day, home is where family resides.
We stepped off the plane exhausted yet excited.
"I love you." Dek kisses me gently as he hands his bags over to me to stuff in the car. We pay our parking stub and drive off towards our family.
"I'm so glad to be home." I breathe out.
"Yes. I enjoyed our alone time. But, I miss our home and friends." Dek curls his fingers around my bicep as I drive.
"What's next?" I ask excitedly.
"Depends on what we are talking about." Dek sends me a smile that melts my damn heart.
"We're married. You have graduated. What do we do now?" I glance expectantly at my husband.
"Haven't thought that far ahead." Dek chuckles.
I hadn't either. Hence why I looked to Dek to put it in perspective. I lift his wrist to my lips and kiss his skin. "I love you Mr. Exavier."
Dek shyly smiles. He has not gotten used to the name. Every time he has heard it, a blush creeps along his skin.
I pull into the driveway and can not wait to get out. I hop out of the car and walk to Dek's side to open his door.
I offer him my hand to help him out. He takes it with a whispered thank you.
"Finally. Jesus that was the longest vacation ever." Cali jumps in my arms. Yani attacks Dek with kisses.
"We missed you too." Dek chuckles.
"Come on we made dinner." Zaya grabs our hands and drags us towards the front door.
"What did we do to you?" I whine. They can't cook. Facts.
"Oh hush. Ana made Dinner. You spoil everything." Cali smacks me playfully on the arm.
Thank god.
We enter the house to the smell of fried chicken and my mouth waters.
"We love you Ana." Both Dek and I run towards our friend and engulf her in hugs, followed by kisses.
"If I let these six cook, they would have burnt the house down. How was your trip?" Ana looks over at us as if we had been gone for a year instead of seven days.
"Wonderful. Elik tried to kill me." Dek exaggerates badly.
"Yep, this I want to hear." Broady grabs us and gives us a huge bear hug.
"He got me on a HORSE." Dek whines dramatically.
"You are scared shitless of those poor animals." Chance walks in and gives us both a bro hug.
"I know. But my husband" Dek glares at me in amusement. "He insisted I did it."
"How'd that go for you?" Cherry kisses our cheeks while giggling.
