For the Sake of Love ✔

- Chapter 31 -

"Daddy, c'mon! Everyone's waiting already" Ciel's cheery voice boomed followed by rapid knocks.

"Daddy!!! It's 9 now, wakie, wakie!!!"

"Ciel, leave the poor man alone,"

"But Nana, it's late and everyone's here already!"

"Ciel..." Liz said sternly.

"He needs to start the meeting soon,"

"Leave them, Cee. They'll come down before you know it. C'mon, love. We'll wait for them in the kitchen,"

I shifted around in Luke's arm, smiling fondly as I stare at his sleeping figure. He looks so peaceful. I know he's awake, he just pretended to sleep.

"Wake up, you doofus. I know you're awake."

"Shh, just pretend I'm asleep," He mumbled with a lippy smile.

"Oh, c'mon. That poor boy gets scolded by Liz because of your lazy behaviour."

"He's used to that, mum isn't even angry,"

"You have a meeting to hold, you know. And you haven't even taken a shower yet."

"I still smell amazing,"

"No offence, but I don't think smelling like sex sounds amazing unless you want your whole family to know and make fun of you,"

"What's in me if I wake up now?" He said as he blindly reached up for my lips.

"The chance to shower with me and maybe something else,"

"Yeah?"

"Hm, hm" He pressed his lips to mine, before jolting awake swiftly.

"I'm up, now c'mon let's shower and have another round,"

After a steamy quickie in the shower, we both dressed up a tad bit more formal than usual before walking down the stairs hand in hand. Liz smiled as soon as she saw us, quickly engulfing in a hug before gushing about the food she made especially for me.

"Luke mentioned you love spaghetti and chocolate milkshake to pieces and I made you both along with some breadsticks and other stuff. I also made pancakes and waffles. Feel free to eat whatever you want,"

"Thank you, that was very generous of you"

"You're my fourth son now. It's just a way of me welcoming you into the family, now c'mon"

She escorted me to a chair beside her and Luke pulled it out for me before pushing it back in. He sat on my left, filling up a plate with the spaghetti for me. I smiled up at him, sneakily giving him a chaste kiss.

His parents smiled tenderly at the both of us, watching patiently for me to take the first bite. I happily did so, almost moaning out at the heavenly taste of Bolognese sauce on my tongue.

"It's delightful. I feel so honoured that you do this for me, thank you"

"It's okay, son. We just want you to be comfortable" Andrew said and Liz nodded along.

"If I may ask, where's Ciel? I thought I heard him earlier this morning,"

"He's probably in his room doing-"

"I'm here, anybody looking for me?" A familiar cheery voice suddenly boomed.

"Yes, it was Ashton. You woke him up, dear"

"Aww, really? I'm sorry, Ashy. I didn't mean to wake you up."

"It's okay, it was time to wake up anyway,"
