Unexpected

• Chapter Fifty-Three •

My heart flutters at the thought and my entire body fills with elation at the fact that Abel is thinking so far ahead. He's already including me in his future so maybe he does feel the same as I do.

I wrap my arm around his waist as well and lean my head against his shoulder while smiling at the sight in front of me.

Maybe later on down the road, it'll be Abel and I married with our own kids. Who knows what will happen.

We walk into the centre and pay the typical entry fee which allow all three of them to be stamped with a mark that shows they're allowed inside.

Before we set them free, we grab a table to put our stuff down and get them to remove their shoes leaving only their socks on. The maximum age for this place is 12 so I stopped playing here years ago. It was definitely one of my favourite places back in the day.
Especially when a friend would have a party here and you'd get food and free party bags full of meaningless toys and sweets. I didn't stress about anything back then but now exams and university choices are pushing at the forefront of my mind.

"What are you thinking about?" Abel asks as he takes a seat.

"Just how easy everything is when you're a kid. No worries at all." I sigh loudly and take the seat next to him.

Abel turns my chair so it's facing his direction and pulls it closer so that my legs are in between his.

He places his hands on my thighs and rubs them softly, "I understand, but you have me now. So whatever problem there is, I want to be the one you tell. We're in this together now."

Abel stares intently at me, his marble like eyes conveying truth behind those words.

"Together. I like that." I lean forward and quickly peck him on the lips, moving away before he has the chance to hold me tighter.

"I want more." He pouts and puckers his lips in an adorable manor making me giggle.

"No Abel, were surrounded by parents and children."

"So? Let them see that you're mine to kiss whenever I want."

I push his face away as he leans even closer to me making him whine in protest. I swear it's like having my own man child. Feed him and he's happy. Give him attention and he's even happier. I guess that also sounds smiliar to having a dog.

"You can have me all to yourself later." I say In response.

"Oh yeah? How about a repeat of this morning?" He said gruffly, his eyes held that glazed and hungry look that I've associated with him wanting to kiss me. Which is pretty often if I'm honest.

"Wasn't that enough for you?" I ask with a laugh.

"I don't think I could ever have enough. I crave everything about you Brown Eyes. You're irresistible and I'll never be satiated."

Although Abel still has that hungry look in his eyes, he sits back and takes his phone out as if what he just said means nothing.

I'm still in a daze at his extremely honest words and he definitely knows this if the smirk on his face is anything to go by.

This damn boy. Always leaving me speechless; I honestly think he does it on purpose.

I shake my head and look towards the play area to see if I can find Nolan, Tristan and Tatiana.

Not a minute later, I find them in the ball pit throwing the balls at one another in a playful manor. A smile breaks through my face when I see that they're all giggling and having fun together.
