Into Him, Into Her

Into Our Wedding : Thirteen

LAUREN'S POV

-----

I was exhausted but I was even delighted. I missed my family for so long, that seeing them brought me happiness. This time, I was here for a reason and a very important task.

I just hoped it was successful.

I was a lot nervous meeting everybody back at home. I wanted nothing more than the acceptance of my family. It wasn’t like my family was very traditional but I was scared to break it out.

I did have a fair share in boys and relationships, unlike Leah who never had a boyfriend in her life.

I was like a wild bird wanting to explore while Leah was like the little snail that stayed in the shell.

Even though different, we were a lot alike, too. I was most scared to break the news to Leah because she'd be the most upset of all.

She had taken a promise from that I'd share everything that happened but I didn't tell her yet.

I had planned to tell her tonight, before everyone so she could help me break it to the family.

I and Mom spent a good amount of time together. Dad was a bit sick, but he was still at the office. I'd see to it that he took care of himself. Mom was really happy, though.

I couldn't have been here without Luke's assistance. Also, I couldn't have surprised Leah. But, they both always start bickering, it was their usual self. I gave them the first-aid and exited the room and walked to mine to make a call.

"Hello, baby!" He picked up my call on the very first attempt. Hearing his voice still made me feel like butterflies. I wonder if it would ever change.

"Sean!" I called his name. I missed him so much even though I had talked to him just yesterday. I looked outside the window, at the beautiful night.

"Ren, how are you? The weather had been so bad that I was worried and you didn’t even call back again." I could sense the worry in his voice. I smiled.

"I'm so sorry. The reception was so bad. I didn't have much battery and the power was off. I barely called Luke and then my battery was low after I found the jet." I explained to him.

"I understand. I'm glad you're home and safe. I wish I could've come with you. I would've taken care of you." He stated and I felt a blush creeping up on my cheeks.

"You have to take care of me...forever, now," I said and I glanced at my finger where a diamond ring resided, which was kept in hiding now.

"Yeah, I'm so excited." He sounded happy and I flushed. I was excited, too, but I was trying to be brave.

"Sean!" I couldn't stop my big smile and my eyes filled with tears. I couldn't control it anymore. Small tears strolled down my face and I sniffled.

"Ren, are you crying? Please, baby, don't cry." He tried to soothe me. I nodded and smiled even though he wasn't present here.

"I'm fine. I just miss you so much." I wiped away my tears and looked outside the window into the calm night.

"The night feels so lonely without you. I miss you, too. I'll come soon." He let out and I nodded.

"Once, I confess everything about us to Mom and Dad, you arrive here to visit," I advised him and he hummed.

"I love you, Lauren." He said and I felt butterflies in my stomach.

"I love you, too, Sean," I said and I heard a loud screech, almost ear-piercing.

"Sean!" I heard another voice. It was Cheryl and I almost felt like I wanted to kill something.

Sean was talking to her and I heard his murmurs and I waited.

I decided to go and check on Luke and Leah if they wanted something else.

When I saw them bickering again, I yelled at them and exited the room, again walking towards my room.

Once I reached my room, I removed the boxes I had prepared for them. I was just hoping that they would like the gifts I had prepared for them.

"Lauren...Don't get mad. She just came by." He explained himself when he didn't need to. I knew how Cheryl was; he didn't have to explain.

"I know, Sean. It's okay. You don't have to worry about it. Just calm down." I told him and laughed.

"Yeah." He said in a small voice. I chuckled imagining his confused face. He was a goofball under his big and firm body and all that, only for me. I blushed as I remembered a few dirty times.

"They would appreciate the gifts? Sean said, confidently and my eyes widened in shock.

"Wait...how did you know that I was...thinking about that?" I questioned him and he chuckled. His beautiful voice made my heart flutter.

"I know everything, baby." He prided and blushed.

"You do know everything, hon." I purred in a teasing tone and he groaned.

"Did you purposely play such a dirty trick on me?" He questioned but instead of angry he sounded amused.

"What do you think? Huh? You should miss me more than I do." I warned him and he laughed.

"As if you don't understand how much I'm already missing you." He said in a small voice and I felt my heart melt at his words. I didn't want to spend the entire night talking to him because then Leah will be upset.

Since I was back home, I should spend some time with her.

"Okay...go now! I have to go and talk to Leah, or she'll be pretty pissed." I laughed and shooed him off or I could talk to him for the whole night.

"Yeah, go, and enjoy. Sleep early and take care. Bye, baby." He encouraged me.

"Yeah, talk to you later. Bye." I muttered to him and finally hung up the call. I held the phone close to my heart as I felt the flutter even after ending the call.
