"Are you sure...?"
"Yeah..."
I relaxed back against the seat "So you can finally face that person huh.." I mumbled, she gave a light smile and nodded.
"Honestly... I barely think I understood Haru chan...he's kind of still a mysterious person, there's only a little I knew about him...I was a child so I only focused on my own feelings, I want to know more about him..what kind of person he was, what family he used to belong to..what he wanted..." She replied whilst driving.
"I see..." I turned my face to the window..it's almost as if she still loves him...ah don't be like that... I can't think like that...but if he was alive..would she have chosen him over me?....even if I wasn't your first..you were my first....
"What is it?" She asked "You look all gloomy"
"It's nothing" I replied..I mean.. I can't feel like that about a dead person can I? "I wonder..if he were alive..you would have chosen..." I unconsciously spoke out loud
She applied sudden brakes, if I hadn't had a seat belt I might have flown out of the wind shield
"OYE WHAT!" I almost had a heart attack there.
She undid her seat belt and moved on me moving the seat back and climbing on me.
"Oye what are you thinking, this is a car...!" I pressed hands against her chest to push her but barely did it...I don't really want to feel all this...this doubt...am I really being loved...I know she said I'm not a replacement but... I fisted by hands on her chest whilst keeping a grip on her shirt. She said nothing, she watched me struggle "Say something!" I pulled her by the collars.
"I can..but will you believe me..?" She asked as if she could see right through me.
"Just...." I loosened my grip letting my hands fall to my sides "Love me.."
"Alright" She said with a soft voice and lowered taking off my glasses and kissing at my eyelid and my forehead "I love you...Natsuro" She put her arms around my waist and pulled me in hug.
"Yeah you should" I hid my face in her shoulder..i'm being annoying..even i feel it....
"I will tell you that everyday from now on until you believe me.." She whispered in my ear.
"You...you better..I don't come cheap" I replied with a light frown and put my fingers through her hair flipping her hair behind her ears and pulled her head towards me and bit at her neck at a visible spot. She seemed quite surprised "What....don't make that face, I'm just telling others to keep hands off my things"
"Wa..so I'm a thing now.." She said with a serious expression.
"NO I DON'T..I DIDN'T MEAN IN THAT.." I freaked out
She suddenly started to giggle "You should put alot of those marks because I want to boast too that I am loved"
"Don't make fun of me.." I frowned with a a heated up face
"Hey Natsuro kun..even if Haru chan was alive..I would've chosen you" She said and my eyes widened " How could I not choose this adorable set of glasses that sees me with so much love and possessiveness over a guy who didn't even love me..? Even I know when I'm loved and when I'm just pitied" She tried to put on my glasses but pulled it off right away rubbing her eyes.
"You gotta problem with my glasses huh!?" I pulled at her nose leaving it red
"How bad is your eye sight..?!" She said putting it back on me.
"You think I wear it for show you idiotic woman?" I scolded her.
"So how was I appearing to you all this time without your glasses..?" She said with a concerned face.
"Kinda like a censored light saber in an adult movie" I replied bluntly
"Hey! I was in all soft and a cuddly mood, why'd you have to do this..!" She got all mad "Now you're definitely having a piece of light saber!" She said going in beast mode
"Hey no wait...this is a car wahh stop..oye! get those fingers out..hey not in the public!"
"Don't worry you get more excited in public anyway, next time we'll try a public bus"
"You perv..ahhh...!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"You don't want to go in?" Alex asked since Zhuang had been staring at the door for a while.
"It's okay" Zhuang replied "Afterall...he's the only one person that Akio will ever need...I was never in the picture anyway"
Alex took Adrian from Zhuang and put him back in the baby carrier bag "They'll barely ever be a couple....funny and sad..."
"How is that funny?" Zhuang raised a brow
"That they had children before a love story..a date...and now they can barely even make physical contact .... nah..sorry.. I guess it really isn't funny" Alex said.
"Kind of like us no?" Zhuang tried to change the atmosphere.
"Yeah...except there's no 'us'.." Alex replied.
"Would you like to make an us?" Zhuang asked
"You don't make things like that..they are supposed to happen on their own" Alex said with lowered face.
"Wrong...its not always about love or good starting...we can eventually get there even with a practical approach" Zhuang replied
Alex became quiet and looked at Adrian for some while "At first.. I thought....having a baby would solve everything..my loneliness...my inability...I was okay to even deal with a shitty partner as long as I could adopt since lone omegas can't adopt.. I had to dump alot of people because they would refuse to give me that.....It was supposed to be okay as long as I could have a child ... I could call mine..." He paused
"What about now..?" Zhuang questioned since Alex seemed doubtful.
"Now....I want him to...have a family.." Alex whispered "Even Akio san..he'll have a family...with Kei and the girls...."
"I see" Zhuang smiled.
"Akio san gave him alpha girls.... It's okay If you don't want to..after all Adrian is an omega...even if you don't want him.. it's okay..it's not like I can't raise him on my own..so.." Alex was still speaking when Zhuang put a hand on his mouth.
"Don't dare ever talk about my son like he's some inferior being again" Zhuang growled at Alex whose eyes widened a bit "It might be true that I bullied Akio alot with that omega thing in order to keep him to myself but that was just me being manipulative and a b*stard back then..I've never once thought of omegas as inferior to us....Natsuro or Adrian..both are my sons and I refuse to hear any shit about them"
Alex's widened eyes relaxed, he moved right into Zhuang's chest with Adrian between them. Zhuang put his arms around both of them.
"Besides..I really like the idea of a family..I am willing to try falling in love with you..or probably...I already am..." Zhuang rubbed up his back a bit.
Alex parted and covered Adrian's ears with both his hands and took a deep breath "What do you mean 'try' fucker.. I'm absolutely fukin loveable, so hurry up and fall for me already before I fuckin knock out your teeth!!!"
Alex said and then let go of Adrian's ears "Got it sweetheart?" Alex said with a superficial smile.
"So violent.." Zhuang was surprised "Anything else your highness?"
"Cooking, cleaning and laundry are all yours..also Saturdays are movie nights" Alex replied.
"Your wish is my command your Highness"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mission complete"
She re-buckled her brassier and shirt and put the used tissues in a plastic back getting back into her seat while I was still dead even though she had redressed and wiped me too...
I was murdered by a light saber....
"Make sure to keep it in..." She said whilst using a wet wipe and sanitizing her hands before touching the wheel again...THIS DEVIL! "Don't worry..it won't leak as long as you have the plug in..I'm smart aren't I? I bought this keeping your public fetish in mind...now we can do it as much as you like and you can unplug when you get home..leakage problem solved"
And then...I choked her to death..Well I did try but I was too tired I passed out half way through the choking, I'll choke her in a hour or so...I need to get this thing outta me first...
"I never knew you had an asphyxiation fetish too...the list keeps getting longer.." She rubbed her neck.
"ARE YOU DOING THIS ON PURPOSE! I WILL KILL YOU...!" I smacked her head and grabbed her face by jaws in a squeeze
"Ow sowwy..pleash don't kill me" She said, my back gave out and I rested back groaning a bit "I will give you a massage later..for now take a pain killer from the dash board drawer.." She said starting the car again and getting on road.
I took a water bottle and chugged it down with the pill and relaxed back even with that thing inside... I guess she did prepare me well but doing it in a car was not the best idea.
"Hey...If you're uncomfortable...we can always switch roles.. I'm not all fussy about it like other alphas are with their egos...." She seemed worried.
"It's not that....its true we can spice things up by switching too but...."
I sighed..I guess she feels that she's being insensitive "Unless you want to be held too...there's no particular need.."
"Honestly I like being a top... I get to have you make all those faces and have my way with your body and all ...but it's okay if you want to...I don't want to make you do things you dislike" She said
"Ah...shutup I like being held, there I said it..are you happy now?" I really didn't want to say that to this devil because it'll only encourage her but I can't deal with that attitude of hers as if I'm a victim or something.
"You do?" She blinked hard looking at me.
"Focus on the road you sadist!" I turned her face away with my hand in embarrassment.
"I am glad to hear that..from now on I'll hold you lots more and make your heart and body both happy..to the point you'd want to marry me" She spoke excitedly
"You're so embarrassing" I replied looking away from her "After I get my degree and job..then..."
"Then what?" She tilted her head with a confused smile.
"Then...probably..become..m..y..w..i..wif....e" I stuttered.
Then we almost had an accident.
Moral of the story don't propose to someone while they are driving.

"Hey it's about time..."
"Yeah.."
The frail looking black haired girl got up and lifted the playful little child on the bed.
"Ms. Samantha?" Yuki turned to face the woman
"Yuki how long has it been...how could you not get used to call me just Sam..." Sam rubbed the back of her head.
"Can't we wait until Ms. Rena comes with us too?" Yuki asked with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"She still has to wind up things here perfectly..some paper work I guess before she can return to her husband abroad.." Sam sighed "Its been so much time already..we've canceled three times already..do you think its still not the right time to leave yet?"
Yuki lowered her head "But Mari..." She felt being an annoyance always asking that.
"Aoi told you not to worry didn't she...?" Sam didn't meet eyes with her.
"Just once.....probably...once...if she sees Eli...she probably might want to come to me.." Yuki mumbled.
"Listen Yuki...I didn't want to be blunt like this but I think even you know...even if the world were to turn upside down..the only person Mari will ever love...will be Haruka chan..even in his death...she won't let him free..." Sam felt that she had to say it.
Yuki gulped down hard and Sam took her bag and the baby from her since the girl looked too frail to carry either of them.
"I'll ask Rena to thank the Himari couple later..so let us not miss this flight...You'll really be able to pull back your life once you get out of this environment.. I'll get you the best treatment there is and I'll cover all your expenses...so don't live a life of unrequited love anymore, get out there.. live... Fall in Love over and over.... " Sam said to the girl walking slowly behind her.
"Then why didn't you move on yourself Ms. Samantha?" Yuki also became a little critical "You also lived a life of unrequited love, are you perhaps seeing me as your own past self and trying to fix your own mistakes" Yuki didn't like how Sam had put things about Mari.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Sam avoided her gaze as usual.
They walked out of the mansion, Sam put the bag down and the driver took it fitting it in the trunk while Sam rested little Eli in Yuki's lap after seating her in car. Her phone kept ringing endlessly yet she was more concerned with getting the mother and child comfortable before she could tend to anything else.
She closed the door and pulled the phone from her pocket
"What is it Aoi...I thought you were going off to visit Haruka chan's hometown with your little boyfriend today?" Sam said whilst looking down at Yuki and the baby from the car's window.
"Sam! We found her!" Aoi said from the other side.
"What..?" Sam's eyes widened and her mouth almost hung open.
"We found Ma.." Before Aoi could complete Sam cut off the call and got inside as well.
She got quiet for a few minutes then put her phone back inside her pocket and pressed down hard at the power button...switching off her cell..
She took a long deep sigh....
".....To the airport please..."
