Dalton City

Pt.19

Olivia wakes up and gets of my lap and sits beside me.

I sigh once more and lift my head to see him.

"Lukas James Cloud" i say.

"Avery Noah Kimberly" Liv says, as me and Lukas look at her.

"Olivia Jane Brooklyn' Lukas says as i look toward him again confused.

"Why are we full naming ourselves?" I question Liv.

"I don't know, you tell me?" She says.

"Listen young man, you are in trouble." Lukas tells me.

"Oh I'm so scared." I say.

"Your birthday is coming up, and you haven't told me what you want for your 20th." He stands in front of the sofa.

"Wait, when is your birthday?" Liv questions me.

"It's around the corner yeah" i tell her.

"It's in 2 days" Lukas say.

"Yeah, around the corner" i say.

Lukas stands in between my legs, as Olivia just watches him grab my chin to look at him.

"What the hell are you doing?" I ask him.

"What do you want for your 20th?" He asks me.

"This isn't the best place to be in to ask me that" i tell him.

"I dont care, what do you want?" He questions me.

"Can, can you let me go and stop making it awkward." I ask him.

"No" Lukas smiles.

"Okay I'm going to go see Avery" Olivia says, then flees.

"See, you made it awkward" i shout at Lukas, as i hit his hand off my chin.

He laughs.

"No seriously what do you want?" He asks me.

I laugh.

"Just surprise me man" i tell him.

On the news it says it all...

'Paradise City's own Dalton Sky, takes action saving unknown 18 year old girl from crew mate Mason Royal.'

I flip through all the channels, and all it is, every channel is headlined at him.

I cant escape.

I go to turn the tv off before spotting the live interview, with a battered and bruised up Mason.

He stands in the rainy city at night, and tells the 'truth' about that night.

"I was given orders by Dalton to get rid of a girl we knew back in high school but it wasn't meant to be A-" he coughs and continues talking.

"I stole the knife from the office and planned on stabbing her just to get at Dal but, now as you can tell shits broke loose and i wanted to clear things up." He says.

The tv turns off.

I look to see Dalton Sky in my door way.

"See" he says while walking toward me.

He sits on the chair beside my bed.

"I didnt tell him to attack you, and those bruises were my doing" he tells me.

"Who did you want to get rid of?' I ask him.

"Coraline but that doesn't matter, what matters is that in the next couple of days you'll be out of here and living in with me" he says, while he trails his hand through my hair.

"I'm not going back to the bunker?" I question him.

"You are never going there again, you can come to the base but your staying at my house" he says.

"Really, your house, wait your base?" I question him.

"Thats where the bunker is" he says.

"So i was under Paradise City this whole time" i tell him.

"Yep" he tells me.

I laugh to myself.

He smiles.

"Your laugh is very sweet" he says.

I look toward him.

"I'll take on anything the world will throw at me to be able to hear it" he tells me.

I smile to him.

He laughs and looks to the floor.

I just watch him.

"When i sore you, when i sore the knife" he trails off, tears fill his eyes.

"I thought that you were gone, that i was too late, that you were dead. I didn't want that" he says.

"That night, it scared the shit out of me. I'm just really happy your alive" he says.

I take my hand and decide to wipe his under eyes.

Then i leave my hand on his jawline and smile.

Staring into his soul is the best thing ever.

Nothing has changed the way that i feel about him.

Nothing ever will....

"Its okay" i say.

He smiles at me

"Its okay" i say again.

The rest of the night goes easy.

Dalton lays in bed with me, we watch a cheesy Christmas movie and fall asleep.

But i keep going back to what i said earlier...

Its the truth.

I'm still falling for Dalton Sky.
