BLS #7: BREAKING THE LAST

Nicholas Lemiere

“It’s been a while since we drink together.” Sky said and I sipped my drink.

“Yeah.. We have been busy with our own family and work.” Alex said.

“How about you and Chloe?” I looked up to Max who asked that.

“What about me and her?”

“Friends with benefits?” Luke raised his eyebrows.

“I haven’t sleep with her so not friends with benefits Luke”

“Dude you’re still friend zoning her?” Aaron asked.

“You’re mean dude, she might got so man-”

“Girlfriend.” I cut him before he startes to say something weird.

“What?” They all said it at the same time and they looked at me with their eyes widen.

“What do you mean ‘what?’, stop staring at me like that.” I hissed.

“We’re happy for you Kenny boy.”

“At last Kenny got his Barbie.” I glared at Aaron.

“So are you going to step to the next relationship?” Sebastian asked and I turned to him.

“I haven’t said the L word, I don’t think it will happen these days.” I said truthfully.

“Like or Love?” Max asked.

“The both of them” I put my glass in the table.

“Took you long enough.. but until when?”

“Stop forcing me, I don’t know when it will come out.” I said to them.

“All of us settling down.” Luke said and chuckled.

“Well I still remember when we promised about not settling down but look at us.” Max added.

“We did it you know.. Walking from the start until the end.” Sky said and I nodded agreeing.

“Rough past but we went through it together.” Aaron smiled.

“Happy endings?” I asked.

“We supposed to be 7 single bachelors but damn we have a family now.” Alex said and I smiled.

“Should we take that box out?” Max asked and we all turned to him.

“Not until Kenny boy get married.” Aaron said.

“I miss being call Kenneth.. Nicholas felt weird even though that’s my real name.”

“Just pick what do you want to go with.” Sebastian saidZ

“Nicholas is your real name and I’m sure it has deep meaning for it. Kenneth is a name that your dad made to protect your identity.” Sky said and I nodded.

“Thankyou.” I said and they all turned to me.

“Thankyou for backing me up all this time, helping me even I’ve told you guys not to do that.” I continued.

“We agree to always help each other Nic, you help us a lot too and why wouldn’t we do that for you?” Max asked.

“The 7 Gold Lifes still strong until the end huh?” Alex smiled.

“I wonder if our kids will be like us?” Sky asked.

“They will get along, even they’re not in the same age but trust me they will” Sebastian said.

“Nic.” Luke called and I turned to him waiting for him to continue.

“Let’s be happy.. don’t hesitate your feelings anymore. This is the time where we.. have our happy endings.” Luke gestured all of us and I nodded.

“I understand why you guys all settling down, because there’s people who take care of you everyday and be with you through ups and downs.” I said honestly.

“It’s weird when we started to talk about family now.. we used to talk about business all the time but I like how we are now.” Aaron said.

“Yeah but we’re weird in a good way.” Sebastian said and I can’t help to agree to that.

“Let’s go home.. 3 hours is enough.” Luke stood up.

“Yeah let’s go home.” Sebastian smiled.

“Later dude.. Miss my little red.” Luke walked out first.

“See you later boys.” Sebastian went out.

“Now we have a reason to go home.” Aaron chuckled standing up.

“Let’s go bud.” Sky patted my shoulder, we all got up from out seat.

“Never thought we only spend 3 hours here, we used to sleep here together.” Max said and chuckled.

“We have our home now Maxy.” Sky patted his shoulder.

“Bye dude!” Max walked out first.

“Let’s hangout before Christmas, have a dinner somewhere together.” Alex suggested.

“Pick the time.” Aaron smiled.

“I’m thinking to take Janet out of the country this Christmas.. or should we have a holiday together? Taking a break for awhile?” Sky asked.

“We’ll talk about that later.” I said.

“Let’s go home.” We walked out from our usual club together and I looked at my Gold Card.

“Let’s train sometimes.. I miss training.” Aaron said before he got in to his car.

“We train everyday.” Sky said.

“Train together like old times.. I miss that.” He got into the car after that I smiled. Sky got into his car too.

“Go home and get cuddly with Chloe.” Alex teased and I glared at him.

“Girls love flowers.. try and buy one for her.” He added and after that he got into his car and drive away. I smiled and yeah.. we have our happy endings.

Blood, Sweat and Tears that we went through was worth it.. everything is worth it.

I got inside my car and drove to my home. I saw a small flower shop and I decided to stop. I walked in and buy a bouquet of roses. I looked at it and drive home with a smile on my face.

As I got home, I walked to my house quickly. I saw Chloe sleeping on the couch and the TV turned on. I smiled and walked to her. I kneeled and caressed her cheek. She opened her eyes slowly.

“Oh.. Nic, where were you?” She asked.

“I was with the boys.”

“You must be tired and sleepy, let’s go up.” She got up and yawned, I smiled secretly. I pulled out the roses from my back and put it in front of her. Her eyes widen and she looked at me.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Did you wait for me?” I asked.

“Yeah.. I thought you still have work, I cooked you some mushroom soup because I’m afraid that you might get hungry.” She rubbed her eyes yawning again.

“For you Chloe” I gestured and she smiled.

“Thankyou.”

“Let’s go to sleep.. you tired right?” I asked as I ruffled her hair.

“Thankyou.. I love it.” She smiled widely.

“Let’s go little one.” I took her hand and pulled her.

“Did you have fun?” She asked as we walked up.

“Yeah we talked for awhile and catching up.” I answered and put my arms around her shoulder. She nodded and we walked to my room. She threw herself to the bed and I walked to bathroom to take a shower.

I walked out from my bathroom and saw her already sleeping soundly with the roses on her hands. I smiled widely.

“I think I love you Chloe.” I whispered. I got on the bed and pulled her to me. She snuggled to me more and I chuckled.

“I want to have my future with you Chloe.. how excited it will be? Washing my car together, going to the fair, decorating Christmas tree, cooking together.. Should I be selfish now and take my happiness now?” I whispered and kissed her cheek. She snuggled to me more and I hugged her.

“Thankyou for coming into my life Chloe, you change everything..”
