After Ezekiel took those pictures and worked as a model for almost a year, which I had no idea about, he ended up liking it so he's continued to do it! I'm happy for him. He's been so good and has already been in a few magazines and TV. He's a REAL celeb now and that brings crazy paparazzi... fun. I had a tournament or two with the team and I think I did pretty good for not being at as many practices because of a rush of school work and the whole job situation. OH! Also, Nori got a boyfriend! He looks like such a soft boy but he does EVERYTHING for Nori. It's so CUTE. Can't wait till they get married!!! Ahem, anyway, some other skate team tried getting me to join them but of course, I said no. I would never leave the crew. Mei, Akira, Kaito, Oda, and Riku are THE BEST. Would never leave them for a second. Akira ended up coming out a few months ago as Bisexual which I thought was really cool and I was proud of her. I'm glad I was one of the first few she shared it with. I've been thinking about home a lot and Nana and I have kept in touch, obviously. Somehow, he might've gotten his have gotten his girlfriend pregnant but I guess I have to find out more about that. I was seeing if maybe I could go over to Texas again and maybe stay a bit longer this time. A few months would do fine but then again, I don't want to leave Ezekiel and I don't know that if I go, I'll maybe want to stay? Ugh, it's frustrating but I have no time to think about that now. It's November 15th and I've got some setting up to do before a certain someone wakes up!
Lynnon-" Wake up babe~"
(Lynnon gently places her hand on Ezekiel's warm cheek. His head was tilted and the blanket was only halfway on him so his bare torso was out in the open. He lets out a soft groan then places his hand on hers. Still, with his eyes closed, he turns his head towards her hand and kisses the inside of it)
Ezekiel-" What bear...? Something wrong?... yawn*"
(Ezekiel slowly opens his eyes and they slightly enlarge when he sees big colorful balloons held in Lynnons hand)
Lynnon-" Happy birthday!"
(It takes a moment for Ezekiel to process the situation with his morning brain but after he covers his face and chuckles)
Ezekiel-" Bear~"
Lynnon-" Cmon cmon!"
(Lynnon grabs his hand and pulls him out of bed. She brings him to the living room where he is presented with multiple bags and boxes of gifts)
Ezekiel-" Babe you didn't have to buy this much?!"
Lynnon-" Trust me, I'm too broke for that. Most of these are from your fangirls"
(Lynnon breaks free from him and walks over to the window. She looks down)
Lynnon-" Sadly, we won't be able to go out early like I wanted to. I would be killed before getting into the car"
(Ezekiel walks forward and looks down too. He could see a few cops in front of the entrance who were keeping a big group of fans from barging into the building)
Ezekiel-" Holy shit..."
Lynnon-" Mhm. BUT WHATEVER! Open your gifts!"
(Ezekiel sits down on the couch)
Lynnon-" Just one second"
(Lynnon walks over to the mountain of birthday presents and disappears between them. Ezekiel chuckles)
Ezekiel-" I can't even see you"
Lynnon-" Wait. I just gotta find the important gifts... I MEAN the ones from loved ones!"
(After a bit, Lynnon comes back out with only a few bags and boxes in hand)
Lynnon-" One from Me, Mei and the team, your mom, Botan, annnnd your dad..."
Ezekiel-" I don't want that one"
Lynnon-" Ezekiel"
Ezekiel-" What? I don't want anything from that bastard"
Lynnon-" I mean it's your birthday and it was a gift. I think you should still keep it"
Ezekiel-" Babe. Did you forget what he did to you? Not only that but what he did to me?"
Lynnon-" That happened like a year ago-"
Ezekiel-" I don't care. I won't forgive him for hitting you no matter what he did"
(Lynnon didn't bother to reason with him anymore and just placed the bag to the side. He opens gifts here then opens Lynnon's which was a new outfit and earrings. Finally, a bit goes by and Lynnon finally gets to speak her mind)
Lynnon-" Hey... so um..."
(Lynnon pulls herself close together)
Lynnon-" I was thinking about... maybe... going to Texas for a bit"
Ezekiel-" Are you feeling homesick again?"
Lynnon-" No of course not!"
Ezekiel-" Then I have no problem with it. You seemed so scared to ask"
Lynnon-" Well... that's the thing. I wanted to stay longer this time"
(Ezekiel looks up in worry and a bit of confusion)
Ezekiel-" How long?"
Lynnon-" Half a year? Maybe more?"
(Ezekiel's eyes widen)
Ezekiel-" What? Are you sure you don't just want to move back?"
(Lynnon looks up and sees Ezekiel's worried expression)
Ezekiel-" Does that mean-"
Lynnon-" No! I still want to live in Japan. I still want to be with you. I never thought about doing that for a second"
Ezekiel-" You seem pretty content on leaving"
(Ezekiel looks a bit down, still in worry. Lynnon gets up from her seat and walks over to him. She lifts and holds his head)
Lynnon-" I'm not going to leave you. Never in a million years"
(Lynnon chuckles then sits down next to him)
Lynnon-" The thing is... you know how I told you Nana got a girlfriend a bit ago"
Ezekiel-" Yeah?"
Lynnon-" Well she's pregnant"
Ezekiel-" Wow. Haven't they only been dating for less than 5 months?"
Lynnon-" Yeah but anyhow, I wanted to stay and be with them. Maybe help her when Nana isn't around since she and I have actually become good friends when she started dating him"
Ezekiel-" Well I see why you want to go but must you stay a whole 6 months"
(Ezekiel places his hand on Lynnons waist)
Ezekiel-" I won't be able to see or touch you for so long. That's horrific"
(Lynnon blushes a small bit)
Ezekiel-" I can't stand to be away from you for that long. I have detachment issues"
(Ezekiel kisses Lynnon. She chuckles)
Lynnon-" Babe. You can't seduce me into not going. I love you but I feel I should go. I don't know, maybe see what it's like to be pregnant. It's an interesting concept"
(Ezekiel becomes flustered at the thought but then Lynnon suddenly gasps)
Lynnon-" Hey! What if you come with me?"
Ezekiel-" I- didn't really think about that"
Lynnon-" It would be your first time in Texas! How fun! Cmon, you have to come"
Ezekiel-" WHat about my modeling-"
Lynnon-" You can take leave. You've done so much for your dad's company already, I'm sure some time away wouldn't do any harm"
Ezekiel-" No, it wouldn't..."
(Ezekiel looks away to think)
Ezekiel-" Ok"
(Lynnon squeals shortly)
Lynnon-" Really?!"
(Ezekiel smiles and nods)
Lynnon-" Yay! You'll have fun, trust me"
Ezekiel-" Ya know..."
(Ezekiel looks at Lynnon in a more dominant way than before and leans forward, cornering her)
Ezekiel-" We've been dating for almost 2 years and nothing has really happened. Yet Nana dates this new girl for 4 months then gets her pregnant"
(Lynnon blushes hard, knowing what he was trying to indicate)
Lynnon-" But we have- well... you know"
(Ezekiel pauses then smirks)
Ezekiel-" I was joking Bear"
Lynnon-" Mn... are you sure. You seemed kind of serious-"
Ezekiel-" OK!"
(Ezekiel immediately sits straight up and claps once and loudly)
Ezekiel-" We must make plans to leave next week"
Lynnon-" Did you not want to have this conversation? Well... about having kid-"
(Ezekiel quickly gets up and grabs Lynnon's hands)
Ezekiel-" Cmon! Let's get things prepped"
Lynnon-" O-Okay"
