“Perfect. I’m glad you like it Firefly, and yes, we can take as many pictures as you like.” He pulled out his phone before pulling me into his side as he smiled up at the camera.

We took a few pictures; Marcus took some singles of me next to his motorcycle stating he wanted it as his wallpaper. I didn’t know how he’d get my picture on his wall, but I didn’t question such dynamics.

I was already pumped to be sitting on his motorcycle, my helmet securely on my head as I tightened my grip around his waist; my body pressed against his back.

“Is this your only ride?” I questioned, wondering if he had a car like Matthew.

“Nah baby. My other ride is a dragon.”

I laughed, shaking my head at his fair statement.

Dragons totally rule.

The motorbike roared to life, the vibrations between my legs sent chills up my body as Marcus twisted the throttle lightly, the roar exhilarating. He peered over his shoulder, a wicked smile across his face.

“Firefly, you ready? I drive fast so make sure you cling to me.” He yelled over the loud noise.

“Yes. I’m safe with my dragon,” I happily replied as I laid my head on his back, preparing myself.

He squeezed my hands that were around his waist before it returned to the silver handle and gripped it, his leg lifted off the ground as we began to move.

I practically squealed as we began slow, leaving the garage on the side of the house to the entrance path.

“I’m going to speed up now, Mako,” he warned me.

I gave him an extra squeeze around his waist, encouraging him to go faster. I took a glance back at the house, a ginger haired male relaxed against the gate, a glass of brown liquid in his hand.

I summed up the courage to remove one of my hands to wave at him before we began to speed up; his figure became smaller and smaller as he waved back.

Bye-bye Kai, see you later.

“C’mon Firefly, I think we should head back. It looks like it’s going to rain.”

“Give me three more minutes, there’s one more thing I want to pick up!” I called out while looking through the aisles of the jewellery shop.

We’d spent the entire morning and afternoon shopping around the entire town.

Marcus showed me around, helped me take pictures and taught me about the different sights, giving me the background of each shop and gadget as we walked around.

We’d grabbed a ton of stuff, picking up many items to pack up and send to Heila. He didn’t know when exactly he’d go back to Earthala or get a chance to pass by the marketplace in Heila, now that they’d be returning to duty upon arrival. Therefore, he wanted to make sure we were stocked up.

He’d treated me to a variety of food, my stomach roared to the sky above upon our arrival. I’d completely forgotten to grab some cookies before leaving so Marcus bought lunch, something he called a hamburger and fries. He said he loved this restaurant because many of their dishes were based off food from Earthala.

I didn’t blame him for his excitement; the food was amazing. Midnight decided to drop by as we passed by something called a pastry shop – various cookies and other sweets displayed at the window, catching our attention.

Marcus didn’t even ask. He strolled in and came out with a bag filled with different types of cookies and sweets.

Midnight ate a handful of cookies until she decided to retreat, apologizing for interrupting our date. I didn’t mind, and it looked like Marcus didn’t mind either, looking pleased with Midnight’s appearance.

Now we were at a jewellery shop, Marcus looked for a specific stone at his friend Junho’s request. The owner was in the back checking his inventory, so I decided to walk around.

What can I get them?

I turned to the next aisle, bumping right into someone causing both of us to stumble on our feet.

“Oops! Sorry.” I quickly apologized as my eyes locked onto the female before me – her striking Tyrian eyes made me freeze in shock.
