Over the next two weeks, both Leah and TJ had begun applying for college alongside Breana, Castiel and Fangs. It was also during that time when TJ and Breana had also talked things out and had gotten back together. Things had slowly gotten back to normal or as normal as they could get.
Castiel opened the envelope in his hands and read through the letter while the rest awaited the news. He looked up with a grin, immediately giving away that it was good news. "I got accepted." He announced. "So now you all can pay me to plan your weddings."
"You can deduct it off your hospital bill." TJ replied with a smirk as he placed his arm around Breana's shoulders.
"When TJ was little, he used to practice operating on my teddy bears." Leah said with a smile before she looked at her older brother. "I'm so proud of you, twin."
The warlock gave his sister an appreciative smile before it turned into a teasing smirk. "Well, Leah's dream was a little more sappy." He said. "She wants to attend the university that our parents fell in love at. She hoped she would meet her perfect match."
"Oh, I've met my perfect match." She said with a grin and leaned up to kiss Raphael. Pulling back with a smile, she peered up at him. "I love you."
"I love you too." Raphael replied.
"Just do us all a favour." Fangs said, catching the witch and Alpha's attention. "Get married already."
The group of friends laughed at the blued eyed werewolf's request before Leah turned to her best friend. "What about you, Bre?"
"Well, I've applied for courses in photography and graphic designing but I'm going to be busy keeping my job up as a guardian angel." Breana responded as she leaned closer into her boyfriend's side.
"Guardian angel?" The witch asked. "You got your wings back?"
Breana nodded with a smile. "Turns out I have redeemed myself." She replied. "I've been assigned as TJ's guardian's angel."
"I am so sorry." Leah said throwing a teasing grin towards her brother.
"Hey!" TJ exclaimed with a chuckled before he turned to his girlfriend and took hold of her hand with a smile. "I'm proud of you." He said and lightly pecked her lips.
He then faced their friends with as a grin made its way onto his face. "And as an added bonus, I get to summon her to kiss me."
"Nice!" Fangs replied with a smirk which only made Castiel hit his arm. "Ow! It was a joke." He said, rubbing his arm where his boyfriend had hit. "This is abuse."
The banshee rolled his eyes. "You'll heal."
"Babe." The blue eyed werewolf said with a pout.
Castiel tried not to smile as he looked away from his boyfriend. "Nope." He said, trying his hardest to keep his smile at bay.
"Baby.." Fangs continued until Castiel could no longer hold back his smile. The beta grinned with victory. "There's my smile." He said.
"I love you." Castiel said.
"I love you too." Fangs responded.
"Get married already." Leah called out, mocking Fangs' with a grin.
Castiel chuckled softly. "Not yet." He replied. "We have a plan to follow."
"And onto other news." TJ began, catching everyone's attention. "Leah and I turn 18 this Saturday and you're all invited to the party, of course." He added with a smile.
"Sweet!" Fangs replied.
"Costumes are a must." Leah added in. "It is Halloween after all."
"You do realise we have built-in costumes, right?" The werewolf asked
The witch nodded with a smile. "Yes, but I don't want to frighten our guests." She said.
The blue eyed boy shrugged with a nod before the group of six friends conversed more.
That night, Leah stood in front of the mirror while she brushed out her dark locks when all of a sudden, she felt strong arms wrap themselves around her waist.
She smiled softly, staring at their reflections in the mirror. "Hey." She said softly.
"Hey." Raphael replied and placed his chin onto her shoulder as he stared at her through the mirror.
"What's on your mind?" She asked as she leaned into his embrace.
"You." He answered simply.
Her smile broadened slightly as she closed her eyes in contentment. "What about me?" She asked.
"Everything." The Alpha replied.
The witch opened her eyes and turned around in his arms to face him, placing her hand onto his chest. "Tell me more, amore." She said.
"How amazing you are.." He began and heard her hum softly. "How stunningly beautiful you are, both inside and out."
She giggled softly and stood on her toes, leaning up to give him a sweet kiss which he gladly accepted. She pulled back slightly, enough for her lips to brush over his as she spoke. "I think I'm going to relax in a bubble bath.." She said. "Care to join me?"
"Mmm.." He hummed, giving Leah her answer.
"Strawberries covered in chocolate and champagne awaits." She said and proceeded to remove her silk robe from her body which made Raphael stare at her, his eyes raking over her body which made her smirk.
She turned her back to him and entered the ensuite bathroom where she ran the water in the tub and added some bubble bath to the water. Once the tub had been filled, she stepped in and relaxed her muscles in the warm water.
It wasn't long until she felt Raphael climb in behind her, making her immediately lean back into his embrace as she placed her head on his chest. The werewolf pressed a soft kiss against her head before a chocolate covered strawberry was held up to his mouth. He gladly bit into the sweet fruit as Leah began to lick the chocolate from off her fingers.
She reached across the tub, grabbing two glasses filled with champagne and as she leaned back, she handed her boyfriend a glass. "Celebrating our strong relationship." She said with a smile and took a sip of the sparkling liquor.
A comfortable silence fell over the couple as they sipped their champagne and fed each other strawberries.
After taking another sip from her glass, Leah turned her head slightly so that she could look up at Raphael. "Rafe, what do you see for our future?" She asked softly.
"Our future?" He asked, earning a nod from his Luna. "Well, I'd love for us to get married and settle down with kids." He replied.
"You've thought about this." She mused with a smile.
"Of course." He responded, taking a sip from his glass.
She smiled. "I thought we could travel first and then settle." She said. "Maybe get married first.. I don't know." She added with a soft shrug.
"How about.." Raphael began as he shifted her closer. "We get married, travel and then settle?"
Leah turned in his arms so that she could face him, a bright smile etching onto her face. "I love that." She whispered. "I want to snatch you up so I'll be the only one who has you."
The werewolf chuckled. "Babygirl, you've always had me." He said with a smile.
With that, the couple enjoyed their bath together, laughing and giggling fsounding throughout the room.
