Chapter forty-three-Love is nice

Valentino Darcy's Pov:

The safe place. We are inside a house of a safe place. According to Lancelot and Snow, this place was safe from all the evil powers. No devil or darkness would be able to enter this region as far as they know. This place was being protected by Mother moon herself. I didn't know who was it or understand any of it. But I ignored my thoughts because the things that were happening around me recently had no logic. We were still preparing if by chance Mother Moon can't protect us and Kristopher Davies gets inside here. I don't know how we mortal normal humans would fight him. Oh, we all weren't humans. We had a red wolf and a wolf with amazing powers. Still, he said it wasn't enough. I was worried. I don't want to die.

Discharging Adira from the hospital, we all were at a safe place planning for the battle until everyone went to sleep. I was sitting on a sofa. It was already night again. I sat by myself. Everyone was in their own assigned rooms. I sat on the sofa looking outside. The presence of someone beside me sitting made me look at the person. It was Mathew. He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and again turned to look at where I was looking. I was looking at nothing. I was zoning out. Mathew chuckled beside me. I turned to him and gave him a questioning look.

"Nothing. It's just you are cute." He said.

"That I am," I said confidently. He nodded at my words.

"I am not denying that."

"Why aren't you asleep?"

"I wanted to talk with you. I guess."

"What talk?"

"Like talking about my feelings."

"Go on," I said without a clue.

"I like you."

"Huh?" I said surprised by the sudden confession. He laughed.

"I do like you, Valentino Darcy."

"That's surprising."

"Why? Why is it surprising?"

"I thought you liked Adira. Remember you told me you were in love too? I had this idea since then."

"Are you insane? Keep your voice down if you don't want Lancelot to come and kill me."

I chuckled at his words.

"I was not in love. She was just a crush. But now she has become the loveliest friend I ever had."

"I know. But let's talk about us. I like you."

"You told me that a second ago."

"No, I love you. I mean I like you too but love you altogether. I am not finding words. Help me out here." Mathew said rubbing his back of the head.

"And I don't know what to say," I said looking at Mathew.

"Take as much as time you need. Will be right here."

"Thank you."

A few seconds later, "Have you finished thinking?" Mathew asked beside me.

"No, I just started to. " I said trying to hold my laughter.

"Okay, keep thinking. I am here. Beside you."

"You are pushy."

"I am not pushy. I am anything but that."

"Then what is the thing you are doing right now?"

"Waiting for your answer?"

"No! You are pressuring me, idiot." I scolded him.

"I just am anxious. But please know that no pressure. Whatever you decide, I will accept it."

"Let's talk about this after everything ends. Hm?" I asked him softly. He looked at me and smiled in understanding. Then leaned towards me smiling and hugged me tightly. Releasing me, he again sat up straight. I was flustered because I don't know why. I seriously didn't know why.

"I am afraid," Mathew said.

"Why? Because of Kristopher Davies?" I asked softly.

"That is a big reason. But most importantly, I am afraid of losing any of you. " He said looking at me.

"We won't lose any of us. We won't. We will do our best not to." I said softly patting his shoulder. "Let's try our best not to lose anyone." He said giving me a soft smile. I smiled back.

Adira Skylar's Pov:

I opened my eyes slowly. I looked at the person beside me who was already looking at me. I closed my eyes and smiled seeing him. Lancelot moved closer to me and hugged me kissing my forehead softly. I snuggled closer to him and leaning into his warm embrace. "Morning, queen." He mumbled on my hair with his deep voice. "Morning, hottie," I said smiling at the nickname I gave. "Do you realize you just called me hottie? That's a first from you." He said smiling and moved looking down at me. "Well, I can't deny the truth for much longer. Can I?" I said cheekily.

"I never thought this day would come where I will see you flirting with me. I mean Adira flirting!" He said dramatically.

"I am never doing this again, jerk," I said trying to move away from him.

"No! Sorry! I was joking, baby. I love to see you flirt. Progress is happening." He said hugging me not letting me move.

"I know how to flirt. I just do not do it with anybody." I said cheekily.

"I am anybody?" He said pouting.

"Nope. You are my hot soul mate." I said smiling.

"Okay, go on." He said with a wide green looking down at me.

"You are a good friend."

"I am not your friend. I am your boyfriend. Get it right." He growled softly. I giggled.

"Okay Mr.Boyfriend, gonna keep that in mind," I said giggling.

"I mean I am your friend too. But best friend. Okay?"

"I am not going to give you that position. That is for Mathew and Emily." I said trying not to laugh. His expression fell like a cute baby.

"But I want to be your best friend, boyfriend, soul mate, and many things. At least make me a candidate for your best friend position." He said pouting. I grinned at his words.

"Okay, an application is taken for the post," I said smiling. He grinned at my words and placed his lips on my head.

Oscar Alcott's Pov:

It was already morning. I woke up and looked at the beautiful human laying beside me clutching on my shirt as her life depended on it. I caressed her face and moved the little pieces of hair away from her forehead softly. She was furrowing her brows in sleep. I softly massaged her eyebrows making her relax after a while. She moved around for some time and then hugged me tightly. "What is the time, baby?" She asked sleepily still keeping her eyes closed. I smiled at the soft pout that formed on her face. "I think it is pretty early or pretty late." I pointed out. She opened her eyes and looked at me. Her cheeks turned into a soft shade of pink. I smiled and caressed her cheeks. Why is she so cute? Oh God, I love her so much.

She smiled at me and pecked my lips shortly making me grin like a teenager. "If it's pretty early then let's stay like this for a little more while. And if it's pretty late, let's do the same." She said giggling sleepily. I chuckled at her words and said, "Yes please."

Snow Willson's Pov:

I opened my eyes. It was already morning. I looked at my side expecting someone in my arms. No one. Oh, I forgot I was a loner.

That's good though. I can't afford to give someone the love I give to myself. I chuckled at my thoughts. I don't want to get up. The bed is so warm and comfortable. I closed my eyes. The face of Adira Skylar came in view. She was smiling at me. She was wearing a dress. A beautiful red dress made her beauty more noticeable. The dress hugged her body perfectly. She was looking so gorgeous. So beautiful. She was breathtaking.

I opened my eyes slapping myself to come out of my thoughts. What am I doing? Why am I constantly thinking about her? I need to snap out of it. She has Lancelot. Her soul mate. She is taken. I can't possibly think about her like this. This is not good. Snow Willson, get her out of your head. Tell her to get out. Tell yourself to get her out from your head.

"From your heart," I mumbled to myself slowly.
