Chapter 7

Flora and Helia looked at each other, both happy to confirm what they were hoping (god, desperately praying for). They probably could have stayed in this moment forever, however a movement from their future daughter broke their trance as they both looked at her.

Helia turned his eye away from his daughter to Flora he whispered "We have to go down, the rest of them are waiting for us."

Flora nodded, she gently shook Lilac on her small shoulder "Little petal," she cooed "time to wake up."

Lilac snuggled closer to her mommy, too tired to open her eyes "I don't wanna." she murmured, she thought she heard two different laughs. But her brain was too fuzzy to really tell, or care.

The future parents looked at her with humorous expressions on their faces. Helia decided it was his turn to attempt to wake up the persistent sleeping girl. "Lilac, Daddy's here. It's time to wake up now." he said

"Daddy?" her sleep induced voice questioned. The fog in covering her senses was still predominant her mind but it began to clear away.

Flora, honestly could have thrown herself at Helia right now, it was so unbelievable that this really was their future. And to think last year, she had struggled to confess her feelings for him and now, now well this?

Both parents ran their hands through Lilac's long hair "Yes, Lilac. Daddy's here." Flora said softly urging their girl to wake up now.

It was both strange and surprising how natural it felt to say and think those words, it was as if somewhere deep down she knew that one day those words would pass through her mouth. (Obviously not right now, but later)

"Daddy's here?" the younger nature fairy questioned, the mental clouds were almost all gone and the light began to strike a chord. Her eyes were still closed and she was still snuggling in mommy's arms but now her eyes struggled to begin fluttering.

Honestly he knew he wasn't ready or prepared to do this, furthermore he knew that she felt the same as him. And even more he knew that she knew that he knew. There was a massive difference from being girlfriend and boyfriend to being parents with each other.

But there was no choice in this matter, both of them would just have to experiment, check and guess their way through this until they could return her back to the future where their future selves would take proper care of their daughter. Huh, if I think I about it, the me from the future is probably really worried right now.

"Yeah, I'm here." he said, answering the girl's question

It took some time for that response to make its way to Lilac's sleepy mind, it was sent there, it soaked in for a while, and then she had an epiphany so the light bulb was turned on. She sat up and rubbed away the remaining drowsiness from her eyes "Daddy!" she exclaimed

Flora laughed at her daughter's reaction when she finally decided to wake up, she watched the young girl remove herself from the bed and dive into Helia's arms. There was no more point of worrying about who the possible father's identity because he was right there. Oh so very closely in front of her sharing a smile with their daughter.

She didn't know if she wants to laugh or cry of the bizarreness of their lives right now, just because she had Rose back at home does not mean that she could easily take care of a child more importantly their future child.

How does one really learn to become a parent in a matter of moments?

What if, in some horrid way she screwed up her future child before Lilac was technically born? What would she do with herself, if that were to happen? Oh dear god, how would Helia react?

Helia hugged his excited daughter and smiled at her, he looked up at Flora because he could just feel the chaotic storm brewing inside her. Their eyes met, and each pair revealed: nervousness, fear, excitement, and their insecurities.

He reached out for Flora's hand and gave it a squeeze, when he felt her returning the favor he pulled her off the bed and on to her feet "Are we going to head downstairs now?" he asked the question was more directed at Flora

But Lilac had answered the question instead "Yup." she skipped ahead of them leading the way.

Neither parent decided to comment on how tightly Flora held on to Helia's hand (it oh so tight, he's the lifeline, one she without any hesitation would cling on to.) Or the slight trembling in Helia's body (he was shaking all over, he held on as if Flora's hand was the only reason he was able to stand)

But both Flora, and Helia kept their faces neutral showing no evidence of any inner turmoil-they couldn't, not for their daughter, it was now their official duty to remain calm for Lilac. Anything less could be a potential disaster.

And the nature fairy and specialist honestly could not imagine what would they do with themselves if they allowed such a thing to happen.

Lilac cheerfully hopped down the stairs, her hair bounced following her movements as she continued her entertaining pattern. She looked at her parents behind her; they were holding hands she smiled at the loving gesture. It reassured her to know that time was not a factor in their relationship. "Mommy, Daddy! Hurry up!" she called out to them

The sound of Lilac's call snapped them out of their thoughts. They looked at her simultaneously wearing slightly surprised expressions.

"Coming."

Lilac giggled at their ability to be so in sync with each other without trying. She kept a curious gaze on them as they reached closer she grabbed Daddy's hand and continued in their conquest to go down the stairs. And by doing so, she was dragging her parents a bit.

When they made their descent, Helia began to lead the way to where the group was when he had left them. Keeping his hands intertwined with Flora's and Lilac's his graceful strides fell in sync with theirs.

##!#!#!#!#!##!#!#!#!#!##!#!#!#!#!#!#!

If anyone among the group had doubts about Flora and Helia or were curious to confirm if Lilac's parents to what everyone assumed than they received their answers as the family trio was waltzing towards them.

It was in that moment precisely when they realized how perfect the image was.

Flora with her long, light brown hair with golden caramel streaks and magnificent emerald eyes that went so lovely with her radiant tan complexion she stood tall and straight her long legs taking elegant steps. Capturing the ideal image of what a gentle lady should portray.

Helia with his long raven hair that had a navy tint to it when capturing the sunlight's rays, piercing aqua eyes that contrasted against his own gentle personality, his skin was lighter practically a cream or milky color. Despite that he embodied masculinity his with straight posture, those broad shoulders, his muscular build that stated he was not the type who would easily be defeated, his quiet strides oozed strength and pride. He, without a doubt is a hero ready to serve and protect those dear to him and who needed it.

Lilac captured both of these qualities and thus becoming a very balanced and perfect blend of her parents' genetic traits. It was almost unfair to see such a beautiful child, her long raven hair could be perceived as navy when the sunlight was bathing down upon it and as the family approached closer they could see there were streaks of lighter blue hair almost azure there too. Combined with a pair of her sparkling emerald eyes and a glowing tan complexion, she had an air of innocence, and freedom about her with every upbeat step she took.

There was suddenly an urge not to cry, or something related to that action everyone who stared felt heavy and light in an odd combination. It was as if they somehow misplaced the ability to breathe but at the same time they felt themselves taking large amounts of air into their lungs.

Stella could hardly bare the anticipating silence when she caught Flora's eyes she motioned to Helia next to her and threw a questioning look. Because she and the rest of the girls had no idea if what they assumed was true. And by the way they looked together it would be such a morbid, crying shame if it was not true.

Flora understood Stella's questioning gaze and she smiled in return and gave her the barest of nods. Stella allowed a high pitch squeal to escape her mouth she ignored the boys' complaints and the girls' questions. Unable to contain her happiness she launched herself at full speed at Flora with open arms.

Flora was thankful for Helia's strength as their connected hands urged her to stay upright when Stella's body mass had made impact with her own at full speed. The sun and moon fairy had squeezing her tightly. She placed her free arm around her friend who was delivering excited shrieks into her ear.

"Oh my God! This is sooo incredufabulous! You guys are so picture perfect! The first order of business is to get matching outfits! OOH I should buy them!" Stella ranted, she was forming words at such a speed Helia was utterly amazed that Flora was seemingly understanding the blond fairy.

The rest of Winx Club fairies realize to why Stella was joyously shouting in Flora's ears while simultaneously squeezing the dear life out of her. Unable to contain their overwhelming positive feelings for their friend they all follow Stella's example.

By the time all five friends were surrounding Flora, she had been forced to remove her hand from Helia's so she could embrace them. All of them were giving her their form of cheers and congratulations.

"Way to go Flo! I knew it, I knew it, and I knew it. I'm so going to be your DJ for the future reception party.-"

"Congratulations, wow this is fantastic. I told you he was into you last year.-"

"I must say although this outcome was obviously foreseen by a ninety-nine point nine percent I am very happy for you!-"

"Hey guys! Cheers for Flora! I'm glad that your future is bright and filled with love!-"

The Winx Club girls made their happiness verbally known, Flora smiled and laughed with the overwhelming sincere joy her friends felt for her. It was good and pleasant to know that she had their love.

The Redfountain boys gawked at the excited group of teenage girls, Miss Griselda merely pinched the bridge of her nose to wane off a headache, and Helia held Lilac with his right hand and looked at the group he smiled at the expression on his girlfriend's face-she was glowing he was thrilled to know he was part of the reason for her happiness.

Lilac looked at her aunties swarming Mommy confusingly, they were being very loud but she could tell they were being happy. She looked at her daddy expectantly "Daddy what are they doing?" she asked pointing to the group.

Helia looked at his daughter, than back to the shrieking girls surrounding Flora and back to Lilac "They're just being girls, little petal." he said calling her the pet name Flora had branded her earlier in the dorm room. She looked very pleased when she was called that, so he saw no harm in doing the same.

"Oh," Lilac said, and then she squinted at her daddy "hey I'm a girl too!"

Helia nodded in understanding and sighed in a mixture of teasing and happiness "So one day you'll act like that, when a boy makes you happy." Somewhere in his heart he felt a slight twang he didn't like the idea of Lilac of dating it's far too early to be protective of her,

Lilac's face distorted as she winkled her nose in disgust "Eww, no way! Boys have cooties." she retorted, shaking her head rejecting that idea.

In twenty or so years I'm going to remind her, she said that Helia mentally cataloged that retort into his memory. But as of right now he was pleased with that reaction "Oh? Do they?' he asked

Lilac piously nodded her head, her rosy; pouting lips were firm against each other she completely thought that with every fiber of her being.

Helia chuckled at Lilac's firm dismiss of the opposite gender "What about me? Or your uncles? Do we have cooties?" he asked

Lilac's eyes widen in realization she looked at her daddy and her uncles who were a distance away. "No," she said shaking her head "that's different."

Helia nodded his head accepting the girl's brief explanation although in reality it really wasn't an explanation.

Miss Fargonda looked at the youth spread among her, the Winx Club were still celebrating, commemorating Flora's future (she had sneaky suspicion that they could keep up their antics for hours), the other Redfountain boys were stunned by their significant others' reactions (she heard Riven mutter "Girls.." she had half a mind to retort in their defense), Helia and Lilac had paused in their journey to walk over here with the rest of them both of them were engaging each other in conversation most likely waiting for Flora to be released.

She walked over there, she would offer Flora and Helia her congratulations later because they still had business to do and the sun was starting to set. "Girls," she called out in a semi strong tone in order to get their attention. It had worked as they paused in their celebration and looked at her expectantly "I must ask you to finish your celebration at once for we have business to pursue." she finished

Her tone veiled the words in a quiet almost demanding way; there was no room for argument. And even if there was, it was neither the place nor time to challenge the headmistress.

"Yes, Miss Fargonda." the girls chorused, the girls slowly released Flora from their loving hugs giving her a few more proud looks and smiles before Helia and Lilac had joined. Recognizing business was about to start, they made their way back to where everyone else was waiting.

When they were finally at the same location Miss Fargonda gave the teenagers a few moments to collect themselves before she proceeded. "Alright ladies as you can see, I have enlisted the assistance of the students of Redfountain. Their purpose is to serve as body guards for any possible threat towards Flora, Helia, Lilac and you. Tecna you will be working with Timmy to find a way to return Lilac back to her own time that will be your propriety and responsible. Are there any questions?"

"Yeah, are the guys staying here?" Stella inquired

Miss Fargonda nodded her head "Yes, they will be staying a separate building on our campus so they will be here to perform their duties but separated from you. At least until we can work out more convenient living accommodations." she said, sending them a smile that served more as a warning than anything else

She said 'separate' twice

She said it twice…

Miss Griselda decided to pick up where the headmistress left off "You are to dine-among other things, and attend lessons separated from the rest of the students. As far they will know is that you're all currently on a mission-which you are so it's best advise you treat this situation as such. It's imperative that other students do not learn the identity of Lilac; we cannot allow this information to be common knowledge."

"Are we clear?" Miss Fargonda and Miss Griselda questioned

The entire group of teenagers nodded their heads, while they realized that Lilac was not paying attention to them-rather she was looking around absorbing her surroundings as endearing as it was the adults would have rather have the small girl pay attention-at least they had the attention of the future parents.

"If we're going to be separated from the other students, where are we going to eat?" questioned Musa

"Furthermore how we continue our studies while being isolated?" added Timmy

"For your education, Miss Griselda and I will be covering for the girls. While Saladin has informed me that you will be grades will be based on how you perform on this mission and it will take credit for the work you miss at your school." Miss Fargonda answered

Miss Griselda pushed her glasses with her middle finger and stared at them "As for your dining accommodations follow me." she said

Wordlessly the group follow the thin woman crossed the campus, then they turned to their left and walked down the hallway afterwards their footsteps led them to a wall. Before anyone could question their location Miss Griselda pressed the wall and it suddenly became transparent.

It was fairly interesting to see a section of the wall's texture transform into something more related to liquids than solids. Lilac curious, reached out for the wall her hand went through the material surrounding her hand felt soft, she pulled back her hand enough for her hand to be in the middle of the wall and she tried to grab it. There was a slight whoosh, as the strange wall slip through fingers, escaping her grasp.

Flora and Helia smiled faintly at Lilac and her antics with the wall.

"Right this way, ladies and gentlemen." Miss Fargonda said ushering the group to pass through the wall.

They carried out her requested and step the through the wall, it was strange it felt as if they walked through a waterfall of some sort expect that that mass was not moving nor was it wet. But as they walked through the wall they witnessed that they had entered a private dining room.

It had a warm colors splashed among the entire room consisting of cream, red, light brown, golden –they felt it was very much like the season autumn in here. And there in the center of room was a dining table large in enough for the entire group, and on the dining table there were plates covered in stainless sliver tops waiting to be opened.

"This room is usually used only by the staff, but given the circumstances we will grant you access to this room." Miss Griselda stated, her words were half heard to the youth she was talking to as they were already seated and opening the lids to reveal food.

She merely stared utterly deadpanned. The young….

Miss Fargonda and Miss Griselda informed that they needed to leave in order to perform their duties in regards to the school they ordered that once everyone was done eating they were to find either one of them so the boys could be escorted to their rooms.

Everyone sat at the table in what was very typical of them; each romantic pair owned a small section of the table seated right next to each other with the only exception being the future family, as Lilac was seated in between Flora and Helia.

On Lilac's plate was baked fish with a buttery, cream sauce on it with various types of vegetables. "Here, let me cut that for you." Flora said, using her knife and fork to split the fish into small bite size pieces suitable for Lilac while also checking for any fish bones that would become a choking hazard.

"Okay," Lilac chirped, she grabbed her fork while mommy was busy with that she would just eat her veggies first she so stabbed the plate and the first thing it picked up was…broccoli. She wrinkled her nose and suddenly her lips refused to budge broccoli was the yuckiest thing ever. But it wasn't good to be picky with food someone else gave you, so she looked at the offensive piece of green on her fork in horror.

Helia, keeping a close eye on his daughter was amused by the expressions she was making at the one piece of broccoli on her fork. It was very clear that she did not like them, but she had enough manners to not verbally complain. He found it ironic seeing as he also disliked the vegetable too, maybe it's my fault but I don't blame her for agreeing with me on this though.

Being a hero in training, one must always assist those who need regardless of the situation.

"Would you like to trade?" he offered his daughter, showing her his own plate the vegetables on his plate were predominately carrots.

Lilac smiled at her daddy, she leaned in closer to whisper into his ear "Mommy's the only one who likes this stuff, though."

Helia smiled, yep that confirmed his child did not broccoli due to his influence he leaned in and whispered "Do we eat it, at home?"

She giggled, by the way they were talking it was like as if they were talking about a huge secret Lilac replied "Most of the time we convince Mommy not to cook it. We only eat it on her special days."

Helia internally sighed blissfully, the fact he knew he had a future with Flora was amazing and it captured his breath every time he thought about it. He smiled again at his daughter "We can split it, go fifty-fifty I get half the icky broccoli, and you get half of these delicious carrots."

Lilac nodded, liking the agreement. They swapped their veggies, by that time Flora was done cutting the fish into bite size pieces so she happily began to consume her dinner.

"Helia, would you please pass the juice?" asked Flora, eyeing the pitcher of orange juice that was near his right side.

He in return looked at the pitcher and held out his hand "Here, just pass your glass." he offered. They shared a smile when Flora took up that offer and he poured juice into her cup three fourths of the glass, before carefully passing it back to her.

Lilac eyed her mommy's glass filled with juice, and watched her take a slip from the glass. The liquid was such an interesting shade of yellow or orange, she tried to recall if back at home she had tasted the drink but no memory came to mind. She grabbed the bottom of her mommy's shirt "Does it taste good?" she asked staring at her mommy's beverage with a curious gaze

Flora smiled at Lilac "Yes, it does. Would you like to try some?" she asked, holding the glass near her daughter's lips, Lilac nodded her head and carefully Flora tipped the glass against her small mouth while supporting her head with the other hand so the juice could safely go down Lilac's throat. After Lilac took a decent slip from her cup, pulled the glass away from her lips "Did you like it?" she asked

Lilac licked any remaining juice off her mouth before nodding her head. She turned to daddy and pulled his cape to get his attention, when she did she held out her empty glass towards him and said "Daddy, can I have the juice Mommy's having?"

Helia grinned at her, before reaching out to take her glass "Sure" he said, he looked at the pitcher it seems they were not the only ones to enjoy orange juice for it only had enough for one last glass. He poured the remaining glass into Lilac's cup and with gentle care handed it back to her. And he placed the empty pitcher to the side.

"Thanks." Lilac replied, and she continued to enjoy her meal

Helia looked for another pitcher of glass, because half way through his meal he was beginning to feel thirsty, he noted that the pitcher closest to Musa still had enough for one glass. And he was about to ask for the last glass until, that is when Brandon grabbed it and pour into Stella's glass. He was careful not to let his gaze linger on the now empty pitcher and he was also careful not to show his contempt when he realized that the only other beverage available now was water.

Well there's nothing wrong with water..He mused and was about to reach out for the closest pitcher of water but then Flora and nudge his side.

Her arm was behind their daughter's back and it was still lingering near his side, "Would you like to share?" she offered, motioning to her own glass of juice. She had been watching Lilac and Helia from the corner of her eye while consuming her own meal. She did not miss the way Helia had looked carefully around the table. It wasn't till she witness his slightly disappointed gaze directed at Brandon and Stella did she guess what he wanted.

He smiled at her thoughtfulness and the care he received as he took up her offer "Sure." He took the glass from her and took a sip before handing it back to her. His eyes watched Flora take the glass back, and sip from the exact same place he had placed his lips on the glass. Helia was unable to hide the goofy expression on his face from watching something he felt was an intimate-yet small gesture.

Sure they had shared, drinks before (they done more than just sharing drinks) but it was in this familiar pattern that made him feel euphoric he kept his loving gaze on her for a few more seconds-enjoying the sight of her neatly eating her meal before turning away to continue his own meal.

Layla, continued to eat in a somewhat of a fast manner in order to hide her smirk. She was watching her friend closely it was adorable how the three of them fell into what, she felt was a family manner of dinner.

All of them were eating in silence; it was pleasant I'm enjoying your present silence

Helia grabbed Flora's glass on juice, without a word from either party

He took an sip and returned it to its former place

Flora took another sip from the glass, and sat it down

Lilac traded some broccoli from some of Flora's sweet potatoes

Helia noticed food in the corner of Lilac's mouth and proceeded to wipe it off

Then they shared a smile before continuing their meals

Lilac was soon done with her meal and showed off an empty plate to Flora

Flora, in returned smile at her

She repeated her actions to Helia

He responded in the same way

"Layla what are staring at?"

Her concentration was broken as she heard her love's voice she smiled at him "Aren't they adorable together?" she asked, indirectly answering his question.

Nabu looked at his friend- it was clear that the future family was enjoying the moment of simplistic bliss he smirked at how either Helia or Flora would look at the other when they thought no one was looking. "Yes, well not as much as us." he teased

The rest of the dinner continued in this light, happy manner.

81818818181818#1##!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#!#

When dinner was over, they collectively decided it was best to turn in early. However Lilac protested against an early bed time stating she didn't get to spend much time with all of her aunties or uncles as an excuse.

The group of teenagers willingly gave into her demands and decided to watch a current kid friendly movie in the dorm room. Tecna was currently looking through the available choices and deciding which one was the best choice for this evening while they headed their way to their dorm.

"What kind of movies do you prefer Lilac?" Tecna asked, trying to narrow the results down to her future niece's preferences

Lilac was skipping ahead of everyone else, she paused in mid skip and turned around and replied "Something funny, please."

Riven turned to Tecna as well "How about something with some action?" he suggested

Musa playfully slapped the back of his head "What part of kid friendly did you forget?" she retorted

Riven grinned sheepishly "Well there has to be kid friendly, funny action moves right?"

"I found something suitable." Tecna informed them. She briefly went over the plot with Flora and Helia to get their approval. Both listened and deemed her selection to be appropriate and excellent. They complemented her and she in return blushed.

She would of claim them to be such a joyous carefree family if she had not looked closely, there was a certain degree of tightness in their smile, and they constantly were looking at each other and then back at Lilac and then each other. Also the way they were holding each other's hand seemed to be too fierce to be simply out of love. Both of them were standing straight and tall, it was in that instance Tecna had realized that Helia was prepared at a second notice to attack or defend while Flora was ready to transform-if needed.

"How about the girls-including Lilac and the guys go up ahead to the dorm and we'll meet you there?" she asked, giving them an opportunity to talk

Flora and Helia looked at Tecna and both were seriously considering her offer, but at the same time both were reluctant to leave their daughter out of their sight. They looked at each other's eyes trying to come up with a decision.

Tecna was mystified by their silent communication; they used their eyes and body language to hold a conversation. It was remarkable that they knew each other that well to understand what one meant with the look in the other's eyes. And at this point she was too engrossed in fascination to even feel something akin to envy.

Flora and Helia turned to Tecna, making their decision telling her that it was a splendid idea. Whatever perils that could face in such a small distance could easily be face by their friends-they had enough trust and faith in their friends to keep each other safe.

Tecna nodded her head and ushered everyone else to move along and get to the room. But not before reassuring Lilac that "mommy and daddy" would meet them later. Helia and Flora watched the others disappear into the school building and when the last of them escaped the eye sight they turned towards each other.

It wasn't awkward.

But where to begin?

"We're parents." Helia bluntly begin, internally wincing from his lame beginning but at least it was a start. "Or well, we will be."

Flora nodded her head, though she felt nervous she did not divert her eyes from his "That's correct, one day I'll be a mother and one day you'll be a father." she said

"There will be a day, where we have a child together." He said,

That was too cryptic for Flora's liking "And are you okay with that?" she asked

"More than okay." he smiled, a dreamy sigh escaped his mouth but then he regains his composure because they had to get through this conversation first.

Flora felt like they were walking on clouds she smiled at him "So am I."

With that being said, they embraced each other, indirectly also embracing their future together. They held each other a while both merely happy to be in the other's arms.

Flora was glad they voiced their mutual feelings, but now the worried thoughts she had earlier this day were arriving back into her mind, nearly constricting her heart in the process "I don't know how to be a mother." she quickly said. Allowing her worry, her anxiousness, and her fears be known.

Helia held her tighter, "And I don't know how to be a father." he replied voicing his own worry, anxiousness, and fears. He felt Flora's slender arms hold him tighter.

"Nether knows how to be a parent." he continued

"But for the sake of Lilac, we have to learn." Flora added,

"We do have to learn, at a fast rate too." Helia agreed

Their chaotic minds were having the same anxious thoughts.

What if I do something wrong? What will be the consequence of messing up? What if I'm not good enough? What-

"And we will." Helia reassured Flora; he rubbed her back in a soothing manner

"We will?" Flora asked, she placed her face in the crook of Helia's neck breathing in his masculine scent-he smelled of fresh rain, mint, and vanilla at the same time.

Flora's breath in the hollow of his neck and his collarbone spread warmth inside Helia that deliciously burned him and sent shivers down his spine.

"Yes, we'll just go one step at a time until Tecna and Timmy can send her back to the future." he said

"What happens if we do something wrong?" Flora added. Finally addressing the proverbial pink elephant in the room, both of their stomachs clenched at the thought.

"I trust you." Helia said, after a long pause had filled the air

Flora pulled away from the embrace so she could look at him "What do you mean?" she asked, wanting more elaboration

"I trust your judgment, I trust you to correct me if I'm doing something what you feel is wrong, I trust you with my life, I trust you to know who I am when I have doubts about myself, I trust you to take care of this." he said, he grabbed one of her hands and placed it on his chest-directly above his heart.

Flora's eyes watered when she heard speak such honest-yet romantic words "And I have faith in you," she replied watching his eyes widen at her words. "I have faith in your judgment, I have faith in your opinions, I have faith in your ability to protect and save lives, I have faith that you will remind me who I am, should I forget, I have faith you in to take care of this." She grabbed one on his hand and placed it on her neck allowing him to feel her pulse.

They stood there, feeling each other's heartbeats noticing that they were so perfectly in tune and in sync with each other.

Helia leaned his forehead against Flora's forehead he looked into her eyes and smiled "So what's our first step?" he asked, his breath was fluttering against her lips, that action alone made her moisten her lips in anticipation, which led him flutter his eyes catching a glimpse of her soft-looking, rosy, lush lips before he struggled to maintain eye contact with her.

Flora felt air headed, as his breath was pressing down against her lips in some form of distraction she licked them to keep her from closing the gap-it wasn't working that much. She urged herself to maintain eye contact with Helia as her eyes continuously continued to leap down and not to stutter when she replied

"Well everyone is at the dorm room waiting for us so we shou-mff"

The stars were twinkling lavishly, and bright moonlight was showering down and they were the only witnesses to Helia silencing Flora.

This chapter took me longer than expected, I hope it was well written and those reading this

enjoyed it.

Alright till the next chapter.

(again sorry about the delay, my updating habits have left much to be desired

but as promised I will continue although expect it to take a while)

Era il mio piacere
