My home is where my heart lies

The suffering (part 2)

Author's notes:

I hope you'll enjoy it. I'll be trying to mix things a bit with my writing style. I'm still not entirely satisfied with how it's looking in English, so gotta work harder to improve.

As always, thanks for everything, and see you next time :D

Ps. If someone wants to suggest an idea to this story or others, feel free to write :)<br />
Ps. Ps. Chapter "the suffering" will have one more part.

13.11.2020 - a preview posted.
22.11.2020 - a whole chapter posted.

A little explanation:
Initially, I wanted the chapter to be longer. But... I have a lot of problems recently with free time to write. So, I decided to finish the chapter earlier and start working on the 3rd part of it as soon as I will have more time. As some of you might know, I'm still studying - tbh 2nd degree IT - and working fulltime as a software developer at the same time, so periodically, my free time is little to none-existing. And, it happened that it's currently the case. Sorry about that, I'll try to write something longer as soon as possible.

Songs used:
Coheed and Cambria - The Suffering

Evelynn's POV (sometime later):

If Evelynn was to say that she was grateful for having Akali, it would be a massive understatement. The magenta-haired woman did not think that she deserved everything that the young girl had already done for her. It was all true that she needed the raven-haired teenager to hug her, to somehow shield her from everything that she encountered during the ride here. If someone was to think about it, it sounded ridiculous. After all, she was an adult, she was self-proclaimed "diva" that would make the world tremble under her very feet. But... somehow, it was always Akali who took care of her. And... that, never ceased to amaze the lawyer. In fact, all Eve expected out of the teenager was to hug her for a moment. But, in the end, she received so much more. Not only Akali did as she promised, but as soon as the drinks were dealt with, she climbed on top of Evelynn's lap and gave her the strongest and warmest bear-hug in her life. The siren could not help but smile. Was it too cheesy to say that for the very first time in her life, the entirety of her world would fit inside of her arms? If she could ask for one favour from the Heavens, it would be for that moment to never end.

"Better?" Akali asked after a while, nuzzling up against the shoulder of her legal guardian.

"So much better," Eve replied in a whisper-like manner. "It never ceases to amaze me how much effect you have on me," she thought inside her mind. "Thank you, darling," she added instead.

"You are welcome," the young woman responded with a broad smile. "Eve... I need to go back to training, is that ok with you?" she asked shyly.

"Ahh... of course," Evelynn replied, brushing the cheek of her protégé with the thumb of her right hand. "After all, it's the reason we're here, isn't it?" she asked rhetorically.

"Yeah... you have a point there," the raven-haired girl smiled shyly. "So... I will see you later?"

"Oh darling, I'm not going to avert my eyes off of you," the magenta-haired woman chuckled. "Your cute little... not-so-little butt wouldn't forgive me such a crime," she teased, returning to her natural cheesy nature.

"Oh... right," the brown-eyed teenager murmured. "I guess... I have a stalker of my own," she chuckled lightly. "See you later, bye," she added, rose up and headed back toward the pitch.

"I just can't wait for that," the self-proclaimed diva uttered playfully.

The golden-eyed lawyer did as she said earlier. Her eyes never left Akali's frame even for a single moment. The tight football's outfit was highlighting every single possible detail of the girl's figure, and Evelynn could not deny that she loved every second of a show. For her, it seemed like an exclusive performance for one person, herself.
