The next day, they woke up hugged and almost glued to each other. They don't actually want to leave the bed, but Aika had to because of her phone ringing.
Her cell phone is still inside her purse on the floor. She takes it and answers it.
"'Morning, Bo." She says, her voice still low and dizzy.
"'Morning, sunshine! Did I wake you?" Bones says on the other end. She lays her back down again on the bed.
"Just woke up. Don't even know what time it is." She tells.
"9:47." Odir says, checking his phone.
"The boy is with you?" Bones asks. Odir can hear, and Aika knows that, but he just smiles and keeps checking his messages.
"Yeah." She answers.
"What are your plans for today? You said you wanted to buy Aidan a gift. Can I tag along, or do you want to spend all day with your boyfriend?" Bones asks.
She chuckles, but she's struggling to decide indeed inside of her. Normally, she wouldn't think twice before going with Bones.
She doesn't know Odir's plans for the day too. He's with her for almost two days straight.
"Sure, Bo. Let's go together." She decides because she knows Aidan will be happier to know Bones chose the gift, too.
"So, he's your boyfriend now?" Bones asks, actually taken aback that she didn't deny anything.
"Yeah. He is." She giggles.
"Oh my! Hell got frozen!!" Bones screams, making her laugh. Odir holds his laughter quietly. "I'm happy for you, baby."
He is happy for her, since he met her she never stopped and never really enjoyed her own life.
They fix a place and time to meet. Odir receives a message from his brother at the same time Aika was marking with Bones.
'Where are you, Odir? I know you're alive, but it's the second day you don't sleep at home.'
'I'm fine. You will never believe it. I have a lot to tell you. I'll stay out all day again and probably sleep out too. Don't wait for me.' Odir sends the message quickly, to throw away the phone again, and have his attention on Aika again.
"I heard you marking something with Bones." He says.
She knows he heard everything for sure, but he asked her either way to probably hide that he could hear everything or because he wanted to give her space, and that made her heart warm.
She wonders how she will tell him she's an Enchantress and how his reaction will be.
"Yeah. We will buy a gift for Aidan together. And you?" She asks.
"I'm all yours. Can I tag along?"
"Really? You're two days away from home. Wouldn't there be a problem?"
"No. My brother was worried, but I told him just now that I'm fine and that I'll probably come home tomorrow. Only if you're already tired of me, I can leave." He tells. She giggles.
"I'm not tired of you. I just don't want to force you into anything." She tells. He kisses her head, hugging her.
"I just want to enjoy all the time we can until you come back to Cankyoto because I'm going to miss you so bad." He says, already suffering just to imagine.
He needs to find a place in Cankyoto, he can actually work from anywhere if he wants. He will need to organize Aika's security…
Luckily, she didn't notice they're being followed everywhere by bodyguards. He doesn't want to think about these details, not yet.
He's only desiring to enjoy all the time he gets with her.
They take a shower, then go buy him new clothes again before going to have breakfast together. Aika thinks that the company will have less expenses with her than with anyone. Since they met, he doesn't let her pay anything.
Aika and Bones discuss together what to give to Aidan. By hearing them, Odir can see that Aidan is a very mature boy. He's smart enough of not accepting futile gifts, so his sister doesn't need to work more.
Bones and Aika decide to split a laptop for him. She believes he will need it more now with his studies.
Walking around a computer store, Odir watches how much Aika knows about computers.
She's trying to find one good enough so Aidan notices it's a good computer because he's a nerd like her, but also with a good price.
Odir wants to take the greatest one for her and another one for Aidan, wanting to give her the best, but he thinks it's too soon to kind of intrude in her life.
He wants to fill her with art supplies, tattoo gears, computers, everything she likes… However, his mate is a strong and independent woman. She might not like thinking he's feeling pity for her, but he only wants to give her the best and spoil her as the love of his life.
Odir noticed the salesman got completely interested in Aika, since in the group she's the one who understands computers like him, and she's hot. Odir raises his eyebrow slightly at the man as he waits with Bones for the lady to pack the gift.
Aika is still looking around the store, and the salesman is tailing her.
"Every nerd wants a chance with her, Odir. Don't get jealous." Bones says to Odir, having fun with Odir's jealousy.
"The worst thing is that I can't even blame the guy. She's unique, and I'm just a lucky guy." Odir says.
"She doesn't care about the guy either. I'm sure that she didn't give you any attention at first, right?"
"She didn't, yeah. After the party at her base, she was working as a DJ, I stayed behind to have a chance to talk to her. She was always with this invisible wall around her, and I could break it a little when I mentioned I had a CVO." Odir tells, making Bones laugh.
"She's like that to everyone. When I met her on the road with Aidan, almost 4 years ago, she was like that to me too. I invited her to sit with us when I noticed they were alone, but she denied and stayed by herself with Aidan. I couldn't believe that such a young girl could be his mother, but I asked her either way, and she told me she is his sister. I asked them where they were going, and she told me they were going to hike. I asked her where their parents were, and she told me her mother died, and her father abandoned them. Instantly, I understood why she was so closed. Then, I asked them if they wouldn't like to see the event we were going to, and since Aidan showed interest, they followed us. I got them food, showed them around, and played with Aidan. I didn't need any more explanations, I knew they needed help, so I got her contact and told the club to escort her to their home safely. We started being friends, and now they're like my children." Bones says, with the voice of someone who can remember every detail like it happened that very same day.
He takes the gift from the lady, thanking her. Odir also bought something and was waiting for it, too.
Odir is glad to know people like Bones are in his mate's life. They go have lunch together, Odir doesn't pay for the meals and drinks because Bones wanted to treat Aika, and Odir wouldn't deny the wish of a father.
