"I'm sorry, Mako. I just...you’re so damn precious to me. I know I haven't been very fun to be around so far. I just want to make sure you're safe. Maybe I'm just anxious about heading to Heila. I want us to arrive with no issues. I've waited cycles for this moment...to finally bring you home and return to the life we should have lived. I'm sorry if it's making you feel like I don't want you to enjoy this moment," he whispered, pressing his lips against my neck.
"I love you, Ryder. I understand. But, I want you to have fun too. This vacation is the first in cycles for you. Let's enjoy our time together. I don't know what's ahead of us in Heila, but let's assume this is our last vacation for a while. Okay?" I pulled back to see his expression.
He gave me a small smile, lowering his lips to mine.
"Okay," he whispered against my lips. We took another minute to kiss one another before we pulled away.
"Are you going to shower first?" I asked, lowering my purple unicorn hoodie.
He eyed me for a moment. "How long did Jaxson and Scarlet say we had to meet them in front of the house?" he questioned.
I paused, noticing the hooded glint in his eyes. "Thirty minutes," I replied, biting my lip.
"We could save time by showering together," he proposed.
"Showering together as in we’ll actually shower? OR are you referring to other activities?" I inquired, my voice low as I grinned; my thumb pressed against the zipper of my onesie. I pulled the zipper low enough to show my cleavage. Ryder eyed me slowly, licking his lips.
"Fifteen minutes."
"Twenty," I countered, lowering the zipper to my waist.
"That leaves us ten minutes to look like we didn't have shower sex and actually attempted to get ready," he reminded, his voice low and husky.
I allowed the onesie to drop to the floor, stepping out of it and making my way towards the washroom. I turned and leaned against the door frame, crossing my arms.
"Nineteen minutes." I grinned, watching him slip out of his boxers and briskly walk towards me, causing me to laugh.
"It's the onesie’s fault."
"Oh, stop blaming the poor unicorn onesie." I giggled; his lips claimed mine.
"That onesie prevents me from having my way with you," he moaned.
"Well, it's on the floor over there. You have your moment, sexy," I whispered.
He slapped my ass, causing me to moan. "Get in the shower, Mako," he ordered.
I grinned, leaning up on my tiptoes and claiming his lips, tugging at his lower lip. "Make me," I whispered.
The way his eyes widened with shock before they clouded with lust made my stomach cartwheel with loads of desire. He lifted me up in one swift movement; my legs wrapped around his waist as my arms hooked around his neck. He walked into the shower and closed the door before starting the hot stream of water while his lips continued to ravish mine.
This would be a steamy experience.
"Let's go again!"
"Starlight sakes Mako. No more," Ryder begged.
"Is your girlfriend always this hyper?" Jaxson asked.
"Yes," Ryder replied, sighing.
"Oh, stop being a bunch of babies. It's okay, Makoto, let's go again." Scarlet took my hand as we ran to the line for the huge rollercoaster.
I turned to see Ryder and Jaxson both sigh, having gone on the ride four times.
We'd decided to go to the amusement park; Scarlet stated today was a good day since it wasn't as busy, and most people were still at work.
We'd gone on many rides; this rollercoaster was my favorite so far. I glanced at Scarlet who wore a simple white tank top with the words Babe Cop in red to match her dark red shorts, bright red lipstick, and white sneakers. She wore a white pair of glasses to finish the look, stating she hated wearing contacts and that they irritated her eyes. It had something to do with her being what she called an Elemental.
We were ushered into the seats of the blue rollercoaster; Ryder and Jaxson reluctantly took the seats behind us. There was no one else on our coaster, the other group had taken the previous ride.
"Scarlet? What's an Elemental do?" I asked.
"To be honest, I don't know much about it. It's a person who can control the elements at will, or so says the Starlight History books Cece's been forcing me to read. I only found out about this recently, so I'm a novice," she confessed.
"Can you feel the elements now?" I asked.
"Yes. I try to zone it out, but compared to a few weeks ago, I can sense them without much struggle," she replied, looking at the sky.
I followed her gaze, looking at the wide landscape below us. "I hope...one day we can help bring peace to all the realms," I whispered.
"We will. I don't know why I can state it so confidently. But, I think in time, we’ll be able to make a big impact and stop whatever darkness is coming," she whispered.
"You know about the darkness?" I asked.
She nodded. "Let's just say, we have our sources. But whatever this darkness is, it's approaching and will test all of us," she replied.
I nodded, returning my gaze to the sky as we approached the top.
"We’ll rid it somehow. I trust in the gods," I declared.
Scarlet smiled; her hand landed on mine. She gave me a tight squeeze. "We will. Now, no more worry-talk, and let's keep having fun," she vowed just as the rollercoaster tipped over the edge.
"Let’s. WEEE!" I agreed, lifting my hands up as we plunged down.
Scarlet laughed, while we could hear Jaxson's and Ryder's groans.
"Please tell me this is the last one!" Jaxson called out.
"Pretty please!" Ryder called out.
We both laughed.
"I'm never coming to an amusement park with the both of you ever again," Jaxson announced, presenting Scarlet a chocolate covered apple.
"You had fun. How are you able to deal with Christian's driving, but can't handle a few roller coasters?" Scarlet argued, thanking him for the treat.
"I don't do high speed anything," Ryder countered, presenting me with a chocolate covered apple with multiple nuts.
I beamed, thanking him by biting right into it. "Umhsk alksana," I replied.
Scarlet broke out laughing. "Makoto, chew and swallow haha."
I quickly chewed down the delicious piece of chocolate nut apple before turning to face Scarlet.
"They just don't want to admit it was fun as hell." I giggled.
"Why don't we do something us guys can enjoy," Jaxson suggested; his hand slipped into Scarlet's as he began to walk to the multiple game stations.
Ryder followed suit; his hand gripped mine as we looked around and we headed after them. We looked at the different booths; my eyes landed on a unicorn figurine box set. I stopped in my tracks, causing Ryder to stop.
"Mako?"
"I want that! How do I get that?" I asked, pointing to the figurine set. It would go with the one Marcus had bought me. Scarlet and Jaxson must have noticed our pause, walking back towards us.
"What's Makoto pointing at?" Jaxson asked.
"Unicorn!" I stressed.
"You mean that My Little Pony set?" Scarlet clarified.
"What's that?" I asked, confused.
"It's a show for kids. It had some unicorns, too. They even have episodes about when the ponies are teenagers. Think of it as a bunch of episodes you can watch on Netflix," she explained.
"You mean Netfights?" I asked.
"Netfights?" Jaxson asked.
"Makoto seems to like Netfights more than Netflix," Ryder defended.
"That's what Midnight calls it," I mumbled to him.
He grinned, giving me a quick reassuring kiss.
"I know. Now, do you want that for sure?" he asked.
