“Hope to die! That’s not how it goes!” I argued.
“Oh really?” She questioned, lifting an eyebrow at me.
“It goes like – Cross my heart and hope to fly! Poke a flower in the sky!” I corrected with confidence.
“Well then, guess I have to learn the proper way. I promise Makoto, I’ll be truthful to you and owe you a date on Earthala that includes a massive cherry. Cross my heart and hope to fly, poke a flower in the sky.” Her pinky finger wrapped around mine as she offered me a light smile.
“Friends?” she whispered.
“Best friends,” I replied.
“I guess this is a good time for you to see your surprise.” She beamed before giving me another hug.
“Take me ther – Hehehehe, ah, Eli! That tickles. Dammit! Tell Elias I’m going to kill him.”
CHAPTER18
Makoto
“Can’t I remove this stupid piece of– ah! ELI, I’m probably going to fall to my death by the time I reach this so called, surprise!” I yelled, holding onto Eli’s hand for dear life as I cautiously took another step forward and prayed to the Starlight gods it wouldn’t be my last.
“Stop being so over dramatic! Where’s my bad ass bitch? Now, keep walking forward. You’re going to be walking on the grass in five seconds.” Eli huffed before she warned me, tugging lightly on my hand as she directed me somewhere.
“My bad ass bitch self wouldn’t be struggling if she could fucking see! And why the prickly grass? Will it prick me and put me to sleep for many cycles?” I questioned, trying to lighten the situation. My heart, on the other hand, was beating so fast I bet my body thought it was running in one of those 5K races humans did for “fun”.A weird hobby, I tell you.
The moment my feet brushed against the sharp-edged grass I stepped back, standing in place, which caused Eli to stop.
“Mako. It’s just grass!”
“Death-inducing grass, that’s what! Nope, I’m not going. I’ll stand right here and watch my surprise from afar,” I announced.This grass wasn’t going to get me today.
“Are you seriously afraid of the fucking grass?” Rose grumbled. Why don’t you come out here and try it? You won’t last five seconds.
There was a moment of silence.
“No thanks,”she responded, retreating from my mind.
I’d roll my eyes if they weren’t closed.That’s what I thought.I heard a deep chuckle, the calming, rich sound followed by the sweet pumpkin scent made me excited.
“Kai?” I asked; my head turned from side to side, my ears perked up to try and pin point the sound of approaching footsteps. An arm wrapped around my waist, the other under my knees as I was swooped up, the motion induced a light shriek as I grabbed onto the person’s shoulders.
“Yes, Princess. It’s nice to know you recognized my laugh,” he praised; his voice so close to my ear I felt shivers trickle across my skin as his exhales brushed against my neck.
“I can smell you,” I admitted.
“I hope that’s a good thing.” He laughed before moving forward, walking in the grass in my stead.
Thank you, Starlight, for this wondrous man.
“If you weren’t so stubborn and wore slippers, you wouldn’t have to be carried, Princess,” Eli suggested, her high-pitched voice came from my right.
“If you’re going to blindfold me, I’m not going to let you take away my sense of touch as well. That’s just suicide.” I ushered, my hands waved left and right.
“Only our Firefly would think in such a manner,” Marcus praised, the appreciation filled sound came from my left.
“Marcus! Tell Eli I’m right,” I requested.
“She’s right you know,” he told Eli who groaned.
