Elizabeth asked me.
“Well, I did sing the last song to him, basically saying it.”
I say with a blush.
“Men like him need you to say it out loud Lills.”
I smile at them, bringing them into a hug and we all giggle. Walking out of the restroom we see them waiting for us, I look at him.
This man, this dark mysterious man who has never once pressured me never once made me feel less than has stolen my heart. When he sees me, he smiles the smile I have come to love, I place my hand over my heart feeling it race faster than a NASCAR driver trying to win first place. I smile back at him and walk to him.
“Hey there Lillypad, ready to go?”
He asked and I nodded I have to tell him; I want him to know how madly in love I am with him.
No one will ever love you the way I lo-
Maxwell's words in my head suddenly vanish as Adonis kisses me. That’s right I am here with him and he makes me the better version of myself.
“Adonis, what was that for?”
I ask him.
“Lillypad, I have been holding back all night, but as soon as we get home, I want nothing more than to rip this dress off you and kiss you all over your body.”
He tells me and I see his eyes growing darker by the moment.
“Then I guess we better get home then.”

We get back to the house and Cylus tells us there is dinner ready for us. I look over to the others and they all look like they were told we won the lottery. Cylus takes us to the dining hall. I sat next to Lillian and place my hand on her thigh. I trace circles on them and can see her breathing becomes shallow as they bring in our dinner plate.
“Oh my god this is AMAZING.”
Mary says and we all laugh.
“Yeah, it is really good! What is this?”
Lilly asks and Cylus informs us it's Steak Diane.
“Master Malith used to eat this quite often.”
I see Lilly look at me and I can feel myself growing red in the face.
We all ate our dinner laughing and enjoying each other's company. I can’t remember the last time this dining room was filled with joy and laughter. It has been a while since my mother's passing, she was the last one to really bring that warmth into this place.
But when Lilly is here, she is that warmth. I look at her and can’t help but watch as she smiles and laughs with everyone else. I could be drowning in a pool of darkness, and she could reach her hand out and bring me back to the surface.

After dinner we all head to our rooms,
“Lills come on, let's go to bed,”
Mary says, grabbing her arm gently.
“Actually, she is sleeping with me tonight.”
