chapter 7

"so? Where will go today rena?" leo said

They were now riding a bullet train, where rena was now wearing a skirt with blouse and jacket, while leo is wearing another set of casual clothes and the same chest bag.

"today, we will go to the aquarium, where i have been dying to see what it has." rena said

"is it newly opened?" leo said

"yes, and reviews says its a must go to." rena said, a bit excited

"ok. And what else?" leo said

"well, its also right by the beach, where we can take a small dip." rena said, with a smile

"and its got all the facilities needed for vacation right?" leo said

"yes, you got it right! Thats why its the perfect place to visit!" rena said, excited

"well, if it werent for the season now.." leo said, awkwardly

"Its almost the end of fall? And its beginning to be cold? Its no matter." rena said

"we will just walk by the beach." they both said

"then no worries." leo said

"plus i have these tickets with me, which my mom won during her shopping." rena said, holding in her hand a pair of tickets to an inn

"oh! Thats nice." leo said, applauding

"right? So you have no worries at all for today." rena said with confidence

After they arrived at the station, they then go to the aquarium where they took a lot of pictures together, and also watch a dolphin show, where they took a picture with a dolphin.

"rena is sure taking a bit long." leo said

Leo was now waiting near the ladies changing room, where hes now sitting, and wearing some beach wear. Then after a while..

"sorry for the wait." rena said, as shes now wearing a bikini with bright colors

"you look good in that rena." leo said, as he scans from foot to head

"where you looking at leo?" rena said, now embarrassed at herself

"im looking at you of course!" leo said

"i bet you were thinking i have small boobs." rena said, sadly, before leo stood up

"nope. I mean, medium is premium after all." leo said with a thumbs up

"what are you talking about? Perv." rena said, shyly, with a bit of happiness

Later, they then walked through the near empty beach, with rena also wearing a jacket due to the bit of a cold wind. Which they were now forced to go back inside, also due to the incoming rain.

"i think we are lost.." rena said

They were now sheltering at a small hut on the beach, as the rain got stronger.

"i think we can wait for the rain to pass here." rena said, as they sat

"hey rena, i know its not a good time to ask, but are you thinking what the others are also thinking?" leo said

"hahh.." rena sighed. "you know leo, we girls had a small meeting at one time, about our future together. So now is definitely a good time to ask leo." she added

"oh.. And what is your choice? Im treading a dangerous road here, no matter where i might go. So hearing your answer would be good for me, in the long run." leo said

"yes, i had doubts before. But when i felt our time together, i thought to myself.. Is leaving you really the right choice here? Will i just stay stagnant through all of my time? When an opportunity has presented itself to me, in you. Although i also cant ignore the times you may have saved or helped me, in any way possible." rena said, now seeing to his eyes

"what do you mean rena? Am i just an oppor--" leo said, but was cut off

"maybe thats not right. What i mean is.. I love you, and my heart belongs to you, no matter what excuse i may think of." rena said, with feelings

"so both logic and heart isnt aligned in thinking, am i right?" leo said, now touching her cheek

"yes, thats right." rena said. "and i dont know what i should do." rena said, now crying a bit

"then lets change it." leo said before he kissed her. "if both wont see each other, then make them see. What about being a lawyer just like your parents?" he added after the kiss

"maybe i could.. Maybe thats the path i should take." rena said, with glimmer in her eyes

"so, what will you decide rena? Stay? or leave me?" leo said, now both hands on her cheeks

"we will find a way right? Then lets find it, together." rena said, with hope on her, before she softly pushed him down. "but first things first." she added

"and whats that?" leo said, replying to her, knowing what would happen

"lets make a family." rena said with a smile, before they made happiness together under the hut and under the heavy rain

After that, they both got back home safely the next day, staying the night at an inn.

Then, on the next week, its now nikkis turn..

"hi leo! Did you wait?" nikki said, as they met up inside the mall now

Nikki was now wearing a blouse and jeans, with a small womens hand bag, while leo is in another casual attire with his sling bag.

"nope, waiting is no big deal, if you will come to me anytime." leo said

"oh leo.." nikki said, as she linked her arm with his

"anyways, lets go." leo said, as they now moved forward

They now enjoyed their time, with eating at the stalls, and browsing through stores.

"and where will we go next?" leo said, a bit full from their food marathon

"look at the time, lets go to another place." nikki said, as she stood up after looking at her watch

"where to now?" leo said, as he was being pulled by her

"to a movie marathon." nikki said with a smile

They then go to the movies, where they watched 2 movies continuously..

"when you said we will do a movie marathon, i thought it was not possible with the time.. But i guess it did." leo said, as they now walk towards the mall doors

*ring*

"who is it nikki?" leo said, after nikki picked up her phone

"its dad, and he wants to meet with us." nikki said, distressed

"i wonder what they might need from us." leo said, curious

After that, a car picked them up from the mall, where they were taken to the taym mansion again.

"hello there leo." carl said, being all serious

he was sitting on the long couch of the big living room, along with his wife, maple.

"yes sir, what can i do for you today?" leo said, being formal

"please, do sit down." carl said, as he points towards the other long couch across them

"whats this about dad? Why all serious?" nikki said, as they now sat on the other couch

"i will now talk about our future. So my question leo, how do you feel about nikki?" carl said

"i do care and love her with all my heart." leo said, as nikki blushed by the thought

"but you also have those other girls, which you gave your love right?" carl said, which then changed nikkis mood

"dad, i know that--" nikki said, but was stopped by carl

"i want to hear his words, not yours." carl said. "so, whats your answer leo?"

"sir, first of all, i also love your daughter. To the point i would give my life for her." leo said

"but as it stands, you still have other girls with you--"carl said, but was cut off

"then second, its also the governments directive to make or spread out as much as possible, through all humane and legal means possible. All due to the impact of the krood war had on us." leo said

"even still! Why wont you only choose my daughter instead?" carl said

"and lastly, my resolve is to accept them, and their love for me. As they have with mine, and more. And i will open a path for us all, even if i have to use all resources that i have for it." leo said, seriously

"you mean to enter the illuminati, am i right?" carl said

"no, use them, if i have to. to protect my future with the girls." leo said

"i see now your intentions, and am glad you have the resolve for it.. But still.." carl said, before maple touches his hand

"dear, thats enough. Its time to let go, so that we can also make another one." maple said

"what?! Whats the meaning of this mom?!" nikki said, surprised

"you will soon have a baby sister nikki, tho just how many years apart that is." maple said, smiling

"congrats mom! Dad! But why go through all this trouble?" nikki said, as she stood

"we just want to be sure with your future nikki, since even i could also sense that hes capable of many things." maple said

"i see.. You didnt really have to." nikki said, as she went to them and hugged her mom

"we just want to make sure, thats all." maple said, as leo still sitting, yet seeing a warm sight

"but leo, how will you really ensure the safety of your girls? If the illuminati--" carl said, but was cut off

"cant be controlled? In a way, yes. But i have a way, dont worry about it for now." leo said, with confidence
