Several hours later




"Flynn, oh my god. Slower. Slower... Why did you go faster?! Are you crazy, I was so close!," I cried out, trying to keep my voice down. It was already late at night and everyone was already asleep.

"Pudding, sshh, you're making so much noise." He whisper yelled, placing one hand on my mouth.

"Vasilios!" I cried out silently, removing his hand from my mouth. "Please let me. Pleaaasee..."


"Pretty please?" He asked with a smirk, still not slowing down. Oh god, I was getting so frustrated.

"Yes, yes... Pretty please. I'm tired already and I want to sleep."


"Fine, I'll let you win... Just this one time." he said, as he slowed down his car on the screen.

"Yes, thank you!" I said as my car easily passed his. Moments later it passed the finish line and I jumped on the bed from joy. "Yess! I finally won!"

Flynn who sat down next to me watched me with an amused expression on his face. "Does it feel good to win after fourteen losses?"

I glared at him. "Shut up. You're such a jerk."

"What?!" He yelled out offended. "I let you win."

"After fourteen losses. Yeah."

He laughed and stood up to put the Xbox back in the right place, which was Milan's room.

After everyone went to bed, Flynn and I got the Xbox out of Milan's room to play with it in our own room. It would be so much fun, if I actually knew how to play.

Flynn was just silently laughing at me the whole time instead of teaching me how to play with that goddamn thing.

Flynn came back from Milan's room and crawled under the covers with me. It was already three in the morning. We only had a couple of hours to sleep.

"Pudding?" He suddenly asked.

I turned around to face him. I couldn't see him, but I could feel the warmth of his body. "Yes?"

"Do you want to go on another a date?... With me... obviously."

"Only if you will teach me how to play on the Xbox."

I heard him laugh. "Sure, totally."

A smile crept on my face. I don't think that he could see it since the room was so dark. "Then the answer is yes."

I took one last look at my outfit in the mirror and I couldn't help but feel proud of myself. It was a long red satin dress with a high slit that Flynn bought for me as a gift. It fitted me like a glove and I wondered how Flynn knew my size even after all these years.

Amari was sleeping over at Ximena and Rodrigo's tonight. Three weeks ago we came back from France. We dropped Milan and aunt Lydia in Barcelona and then we immediately flew back to the states, because Flynn had a lot of meetings to attend.

Even I had to catch up on work. We were both very busy the following weeks. Occasionally Flynn came over for dinner after work or I dropped Amari at his to spend the night. We haven't really talked yet about 'us.' Simply, because we didn't got the chance to.

My phone buzzed on the nightstand and I walked over to see who it was.

Flynn: Open the door, pudding.

A smile appeared on my face and I walked over to the living room to open the door. Flynn stood there, dressed in a black suit, with a big smile on his face. What a handsome man he is. "Hey gorgeous," he greeted, hugging me and kissing both of my cheeks. "I brought you red roses to match that pretty dress of yours."

I laughed. "Thanks, Vasilios." I took the flowers from him. "So where are we going?"

"I thought of staying at home tonight. I brought dinner, wine, and dessert. We will have a fancy stay-at-home date night. What do you think?"

"Sounds like a plan." I moved out of my way so Flynn could step into the living room. Thank goodness I cleaned the house earlier. "What do we have for dinner?"

I followed him into the kitchen and he placed the plastic bags on the table. He turned around to face me and said," I brought lasagna, ravioli, and meatloaf. For desert there's chocolate cake."

"That sounds delicious. Did you made all of it yourself, Vasilios?"

He let out a laugh and shook his head. "I wish I could, but i'm not Rodrigo."

I sat down on the bar stool and watch as Flynn moved around the kitchen to set the table. "Do you need help?"

"No, I'm good. You should sit and watch the boss do the magic."

I chuckled. "Whatever you say, Vasilios."

I watch him light a candle and placing plates on the table. He then opened the wine and beckoned me to sit down at the table.

"So," He said, sitting down in front of me. "Are you impressed?"

"Actually yeah. It's better than I imagined." I answered honestly, taking a sip of my wine. It tasted delicious. Just what I needed after a busy week. "So, how was your day?"

Flynn stayed silent for a while. "Uhm, it was great." He said after a moment of hesitation. "Actually... Sera came by today... at my office."

My heart stopped for a millisecond. I stared at Flynn, waiting for him to continue. He probably saw the horrified expression on my face, because he shook his head.

"No, I made a promise to you and I will keep it until my last breath. Actually, Sera came to apologize."

I raised my eyebrows up at that. "And? An apology will not excuse the things she did."

"But I was also at fault, pudding. I admit it. What happened three years ago wasn't only her fault. We both know it. But that's not the point."

"Then what is the point, Vasilios?"

"Sera's pregnant."

"And?"

"She got raped. She's carrying the child of a rapist."

My breath got stuck in my throat. Now I was the one that was speechless. I would never wish rape or dead on my enemy or someone who did me wrong. It's horrible and disgusting.

Flynn continued, "She came to ask for my forgiveness so that she and her unborn child can live in peace. She told me that after the rape incident, she realized that money is a dangerous thing. The guy who raped her was a rich man. Her whole case got dismissed, because of money. She didn't get justice and the man who raped her is walking around freely."

"You're not serious." I said shockingly.

"I am. This is not something new. Rich people always tend to get away with illegal things. I can do it too, but I prefer not. Anyways, she's moving to Georgia to live with her sister. She came by to ask me for forgiveness and told me that she got what she deserved for tearing us apart."
