"Okay," I agreed, "so I can work properly as well."
He dramatically groaned, "I hope I didn't just suggest that you just come home."
I laughed by what he said as I draw a circle on his chest.
He continued, "Tomorrow, I'll take Aki to my office." I looked up at him, "Aren't you busy there?"
"No. I'll just sign something. Then we'll go to the park. Is it okay with you?"
I nodded, "But take care of him, huh? Don't leave him alone. You break up with me when something bad happens to our son."
"Of course." he said then he hugged me so tightly that he almost squeezed me so my complaint was pure. He just chuckled before let me go.
We slept together after that, as always. We have never slept without being side by side. We don't even sleep until we're next to each other. Even though we get together sometimes, we sleep together. But before we go to sleep, we fix our bed. We don’t let the night end without us getting along.
The next day, Fire took care of Aki. From here in our room, I could hear the father and son laughing in the bathroom.
When I peeked at the father and son inside, I was just shaken when I saw them playing with the foam in the bathtub where Aki was.
I shifted my gaze to Fire who was styling Aki's hair with the foam.
"Hurry up and take care of the child. We're still going in." I said to him.
She smiled and looked up at me, "Yes, Ma."
We arrived at a medium sized house but with a large garden, it was beautiful and and had a nice veranda and also had an enclosed terrace at its height
But it looked like no one was there so we went to the place with the sea view first.
While gazing at the sea I couldn’t help but ask.
"What are we going to do in this Fire place? There in the house we're going to?" I asked with cFireosity.
"We will invite them to join evangelization with Father Kiko. But before that, we will share our deepest stories to them, how God changed our perspective in life" he replied.
My eyes widened at what he said and was confused.
Wait wait? What? me? Will invite someone? Share my deepest stories? Why will I do that? This is what Father Kiko is telling me. Im not ready for this.
"Fire, you know I'm not a good person, I'm not a good person here. I don't think I'm the one you should be with. Maybe instead of going with that, we might just stay away from what I'm doing" I replied here.

this and I understood what I said.
But he said something that surprised me.
"You don't need to force yourself Mi, ok? Just leave it to me. But I want to tell you something. Not because you are serving God doesn't mean that you're not a sinner. The truth is nyan, that's why I'm serving him because I am full of sin. "
"That's why maybe many raise their eyebrows at what we're doing because they think we're not sinning. That we are hypocrites because we committed sins but still continue what we're doing.
That's bullshit.
They say practice what you preach.
They are right, but that's how human nature is, I sin over and over again, I'm still stupid sometimes, right ?. But the difference is that, His words filled the missing part in me. The emptiness in me. He kept lifting me from drowning so I would be grateful again and again. And this is my way of giving thanks. Maybe simply going to people can help us. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to them. Or just listen to them. "
I sighed after hearing what he said. He has a point, his words hits me as well, but still, I know to myself that I can't do it so I just answered it.
"What if you don't listen to us and just raise an eyebrow or laugh?" I ask here.
He pinched my cheek.
"We will never know unless we try?"
"But first, can I try to kiss you again?" He said mischievously.
I laughed at what he said.
"Don't try it. Do it." I said then pulled his shirt close to me and gave him one slow short kisses.
When we arrived at the house where we were going to stay, it was as if Fire was pushing us.
"Here. I already washed it. You can no longer see and smell the slimy blood." I told him as I handed it out to him. He didn't hesitate to accept it and pocketed it.
"Wanna ride behind my back?" Lalaine asked me and I immediately declined.
"Nah. Car's much more better to ride when you're sleepy." I answered him and he laughed.
"HAHA! Anyway ... We will have our gathering tomorrow night. You really need to be present this time. But before that, you and Monhi need to go to Mitsuya's school tomorrow, okay?" Lalaine said in a cheerful tone. Minho and I looked at each other before I nodded.
"YENYEENN !! COME HERE !! WE'RE LEAVING!" I turned my attention to my older brother Kaito calling me.
"Lalaine, Vladmir, Monhi ... I'll be first. See you guys tomorrow!" I smiled goodbye to them and quickly got back in the car. Vladmir and Lalaine's faces looks weird. It seems that they're in a state of shock. What could have surprised them?
Our car's engine revved up and we drove off the base. Drowsiness visited me, so I decided to take a sleep.
Lalaine's POV
"Here. I already washed it. You can no longer see and smell the slimy blood." I turned my attention to Vinchin. She's handing out my handkerchief, I accepted it and pocketed.
"Wanna ride behind my back?" Smiling I asked him which he immediately rejected. Mission failed.
"Nah. Car's much more better to ride when you're sleepy." I laughed at his answer. He has a point, but it’s still better when on my bike he rides and sleeps. "Anyway ... We will have our gathering tomorrow night. You really need to be present this time. But before that, you and Monhi need to go to Mitsuya's school tomorrow, okay?" I gladly told her and she nodded in response. I was about to speak when suddenly a man in the car shouted. I think it's Vinchin's brother.
"Yen! Come here! For us to leave, we're late, you're so slow!"
