Fires Collided

⁷⁷

We arrived at our last and my favorite destination.Gun range.

"Where is my badass student?!"Me and Rain hugged."I missed you you little dork.You grew up nicely.More than nice in fact.I should keep my kids away from you."I chuckled."How are the twins?"She sighed."Teenager stuff.Oliver is constantly in his room.And we can't find Olivia at home.So I don't know what to do."I chuckled.Knowing that he doesn't like me.Knowing that Olivia and I dated secretly."How is senior year treating them?""Like crap!And they are not studying for their stupid SATs.Anyways.Enough about them!Let's see how well you are."She handed me a gun.

"Thanks Rain."I took my AirPods out and busted the music.Later on I put the glasses and the thing that covers our ears so we won't be deaf.I gave it a go.First three or two weren't bullseye but...the rest?Damn I killed it out there."You're still good.Bot as good as you were before.You haven't been doing this for a very long time.You need more practice.This isn't like the classes you take with Dash.You can never be too sure."I sighed."I'll try harder next time."She nodded and turned to Dexter."You're still not into this?"He shook his head."He likes watching more than doing it."Rain rolled her eyes."Your loss."

Then her eye caught Ralph."Who's the eye candy?"I chuckled."My boyfriend."That's the first time I said it out loud.Wow it felt good.That's when Oliver came in."Mom you forgot your phone and someone-"Then he saw me."Sup gorgeous?"I started laughing."Hey Oliver."He came over."Do I know you gorgeous?"I whispered to his ear."Hey dipshit."Then I backed away."Oh my GOD!You fucking whore!"I laughed."I'm your favorite.You and I both know you love me."I winked.Then I felt my ring burning."Ralph?""What?!"He was giving death glares to Oliver.

"Uh...it's burning."He came back."Yeah...That doesn't justify him though."I sighed."It's chill dude.This has always been the way we communicated."I laughed."Longest sentence you ever had in years I've known you.Congratulations Oliver."He rolled his eyes."But it was nice seeing you regardless."I was shocked.He has never said something nice to me."Yeah...it was."Later on he left and we left too.We went out for dinner."I saw him the other day."I was beyond shocked."H-He's back in town?"He nodded."Did you talk to him?"He shook his head."You know he hates me because of you."I sighed."I know.He is such a child!"

"Child is mature for someone like him.You give him too much credit."I rolled my eyes."First of all...fuck him.Second of all...fuck him.So...in conclusion...fuck him."Dex and I chuckled."Who are you two talking about?"Dex sighed."Her first boyfriend.Jackass bastard of a bitch."Ralph was relaxed about it.I knew he hated him but he didn't show it."Anyways.I gotta run.My dad is back from a work trip and his plane landed like 20 minutes ago.I'm supposed to have dinner with him."I sighed."Say hello from me to Mr.Bay.Alright?"He nodded and left.It was me and Ralph now.

"I keep figuring new things about you."I rolled my eyes."I-It's ok. I don't talk about myself a lot.You know a lot.More than anyone in my life.But even somethings are new to you."He got my under his arm."I'm sorry I didn't tell you about what we talked the other night." I sighed."It's a hard topic to talk about. I'm glad you told me at all."We hugged."I'm tired.Can we leave?"He nodded and we left.As we came back there was a couple men that we did not recognize.They left a few minutes later.We walked up to Jayden."Who are they?""Journalists that works for me.They're trying to clear the newspapers.At least it'll be easier for you two to get back."We sighed."Mr.Fern I should thank you.You have been busting your ass for both of us."He chuckled."I'm proud of my grandson.And I'm proud of you for being you.My son told me a lot of stories about you but he never mentioned that you were the right side.And that he was wrong. I'm just glad Ralph trusted me enough to tell me what happened between you two when I came to school."

I smiled."Thanks grandpa."They shook hands and I shook hands with him too."Mr.Fern do you mind if we head up to our rooms?It's been a long day for me and assuming for him too."He dismissed us and we changed into our pjs.

Later on I went to Ralph's room."I don't want to sleep alone."He came to the door."You don't have to."We hugged and he later on picked me up.

Then we went to bed like that.When I woke up the following morning we weren't in the bed.We were in the kitchen and he was making coffee."Good morning.""You didn't let go so I just took you with me."I chuckled."Sounds like me.Can we stay in today? I'm so comfy and peaceful and happy and relax and all the other stuff right now."He nodded.I'd love that."He hugged me.We went around the house like that.When I was talking to someone he turned around for me to face them.My day was fabulous.We spent most of the day on the couch.Laying down in front of the fireplace.

"This is perfect.""It is."He sighed."What's going to happen once we go back?"I knew it was going to come up eventually."I love you.You love me.We can do this."I got my head out of his neck and looked at him."It's going to be ok."He nodded."I know."Then we kissed.And kissed.And it continued.Then we hugged again."This is great.I just wish we didn't had to leave."Then my dragons came from their flying session."Hey you cuties."They landed on my face and I got my head out of his neck once again."Tell him I hated him at first but I slightly like him because he's nice to you."I chuckled.And told it to Ralph."Well I'm only nice to her and you guys because well...she will kick my ass if I'm not."

"That's true.Hate them and I don't care how much I love you.You're being kicked out of my life.They hold the power."We all laughed."Brenton.Baby can you get Pedro?"He nodded and came back with Pedro."Hi Pedro."I got him."You know you're his dad since you got him for me."He chuckled."Guess I am."
