Chapter 17 & 18 : A Christmas Miracle
“Where are you?” Liam is on the phone with Pinkie.
“Out of the country” Pinkie replied.
“What?!” He sprang up from the bed.
“I’m at home, preparing for the big day”.
“What big day? – Right! New year!”
“Silly you” She chuckled.
“So what are you doing particularly, like right now?”
“I’m going to have a bath, then-
He ended the call. “What the” She rolled eyes.
He is calling on a video call.
She swiped green. “What are you, a pervert?” She asked.
“I thought you said you were going to take a bath”
“Hmm-mmm” She sat on the bed.
“Then why are you still clad in your clothes?”
“I should have known, you were up to no good, when you asked what I was doing”
“Whatever” He smacked his lips.
“Wait, what were you hoping to see?” She chuckled.
“Nothing”
“Uh?”
“Nevermind” He chuckled.
“Beauty and I are heading to the salon after I finish bathing” She informed.
“Why?”
“I want to trim my hair. I don’t like how long it is, and I’m also going to retint it”.
“I’ll come along then”.
“No, you don’t have to”.
“You might end up trimming a little bit too much of your hair, and I don’t want that” He said picking up his car key.
“What are you, my boyfriend?”
“You can’t stop me, say whatever you want”.
“Okay Sir. Be here in the next thirty minutes”.
“All I need is ten minutes”.
“What? Are you going to run all the way here?”
“I want to have a bath at your place” He replied bluntly.
“Okay, I think I need to end the call at this point” She said trying to keep a straight face.
“Bye” He ended the call.
“What the? So quick?” She bashed her eyelids in confusion.
TWENTY MINUTES LATER*
Austin and Liam are in the living room, chatting.
Beauty is in the room with Pinkie.
There isn’t any photo of Aurelio and her in the room, any more, neither does she wear the ring.
She carried out Aurelio’s instructions carefully and correctly.
But she didn’t trash them away, instead she kept them in the basement.
“Why don’t you date him already?” Beauty said excitedly.
“Why should I?” Pinkie turned.
“I mean, it’s obvious that dude loves you a lot”
“You needed to see the way he was blushing while talking about you” She concluded.
“Really? But blushing doesn’t mean that he likes me….” Pinkie argued.
“Keep deceiving yourself. You know you loves Liam. Just admit it, baby gurl” She teased.
“No, I don’t” She lied.
“No, you do”.
“I don’t, swears”.
“When did you become a liar? Admit it already. There are thousands of girls including myself, who wouldn’t think twice before saying yes to that work of art out there”.
“Aren’t you in a relationship with Austin?”
“I’m talking about Liam Brooks and you’re talking about Austin. How do they corelate?”
“Beauty!” She gasped in shock.
“Austin better not find out about this”.
“Are you threatening me?” Pinkie chuckled.
“Maybe. Let’s go” Beauty said, exiting the room.
ON THEIR WAY TO THE SALON*
“Why don’t you wear your ring anymore?” Liam asked, loudly enough for only him and Pinkie to hear.
Austin and Beauty are busy in the back seat, being all lovey-dovey.
“I’m not permitted to wear it anymore” She replied.
“Why?”
“Aurelio asked me not to”.
“You saw him again?”
She gave a nod, and he smiled lightly, returning his focus back on the road.
“Never in my life had I thought I’d get the chance to touch Liam Brooks car tyres, talk more of being inside of it” Beauty suddenly said.
Austin turned to her.
Liam and Pinkie are chuckling at the front.
“What are you saying, Beauty?” Austin mouthed.
“I admire Liam a lot. He’s a director despite his young age” She grinned, staring at Liam.
“But that’s my dad’s company though” Liam said from the front.
“It doesn’t matter, Sweetheart” Pinkie turned in shock.
Liam chuckled.
“Did Beauty just call Liam sweetheart?” She said in her head.
“I myself haven’t called him a pet name before” She said in her head, her face painted with jealousy.
“You heard him, it’s his dad’s company” Austin chuckled.
“I know, why didn’t your dad create a company for you to inherit or work at?” She said sarcastically with a smile, bashing her lids cutely.
Austin is dumbstruck.
Pinkie turned.
“I mean, his dad wouldn’t have made him a director, if he was incompetent, right?” She faced pinkie, and Pinkie smiled awkwardly in response.
“Couples who start from scratch together, always end up being together till they díe” Liam said from the front.
“Really? No wonder, I’m with Austin instead of you”.
Austin gasped in shock.
“You’re so materialistic, Beauty” Pinkie chuckled.
“That’s what I’m best at. It’s my speciality, loving money and purchasing my favourite things” She replied.
“But staying together till they díe, isn’t that big of a deal. If there is money then everything will fall into place on its own” She concluded.
“I feel so much pity for Austin” Pinkie shook her head, before facing her front.
“I feel so much pity for myself too” Austin agreed, making Beauty turn.
“What do you mean?”
“I’ve gat to work hard before Liam snatches you away from me”.
“I’d never do that. Boys code” Liam chuckled.
“Thank you” Austin said, and then pulled Beauty into his arms.
“What’s it?” She mouthed.
“Nothing. You love me, don’t you?” He grinned.
“I wouldn’t date you if I didn’t love you” She replied.
“That’s good to know” He pecked her lips, making her giggle.
“Here we are” Liam said, parking the car.
An stylist is trimming Pinkie’s hair.
“That’s enough” Liam ordered, and she stopped trimming.
“Isn’t it till too long?” Pinkie faced him.
“For you, but not for me” He replied simply.
“Aren’t you tinting your hair anymore?” He asked.
“I don’t know what colour to use” She replied.
“Dark brown” He replied.
“Would it suit me?”
“Well, give it a trial”
“Okay…..” She faced the mirror.
“What colour should I use, Austin?” Beauty asked.
“To be honest, I’d say blonde” Austin replied.
“Blonde?”
“Yes. It gives you this savage look that I love a lot”
“Okay, Mr Savage” She replied.
“We’ll go with blonde then” The stylist said.
“Wow!”
“Wow” The girls gasped checking themselves out in the mirror.
“I told you blonde looks good on you” Austin bragged.
“I know, right?” Beauty pecked his lips.
“Where is Liam?”
“Right here” He said, walking to them.
“Whoa!” Beauty and Austin gasped in shock.
He tinted his hair and also had a new hair cut.
“You look……
Pinkie couldn’t find the right word to describe how he looks right now.
“Hot” Beauty whispered.
“Hot-What?!” She exclaimed, realizing what she just said.
Beauty burst out in laughter.
“You look pretty, Pinkie” Liam commented
“You don’t look bad either” She replied.
“What about me?” Beauty folded her arms.
“You look ten over ten minus nothing”
“Whoa!” She gasped.
“Thanks Liam” She blew him a kiss.
“Are you going to continue flirting with him?” Pinkie faced, her angry voice giving away the fact that she’s jealous.
“First, you called him sweetheart, and now-and now you keep trying to gain his attention” She said jealously without even realizing it.
“Are you jealous right now?” Liam whispered.
“Yes and so what?”
A lump immediately formed in her throat, realizing what she just said.
“Mission accomplished” Beauty clinked her tongue thrice.
“Let’s go” Austin chuckled, walking away.
Beauty followed suit.
“I-I-Let’s go” She made to walk away, but he pulled her back.
“Do you perhaps like me?” He smiled teasingly, staring into her eyes.
“Are you just trying to play hard to get?” He asked.
“Let go of me” She struggled, and he wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Answer me”.
“Not here, Liam” She muttered.
“So you’re going to tell me what I want to hear somewhere else?”
“Liam…..
“Yes or no?”
She exhaled deeply, there’s no point in struggling or arguing with him.
He’s not going to let go of her that easily.
“Not today”
“When?”
“Whenever I like it. If I feel like giving you an answer today or next year. It’s my choice”.
“Next year?”
“I’m outta here” She rushed away.
“Next year” He muttered.
“It’s new year in 48 hours” He said excitedly.
“Was she trying to confuse me?” He chuckled, and then exited the salon.
LIAM’S PLACE*
“Only the heavens knows what you’re up to, by bringing me here” Pinkie muttered, climbing the stairs.
“Calm down” Liam chuckled, behind her.
“I never imagined that you’ll have your own place though” She turned.
“Do you think that lowly of me? I don’t really live in the mansion. I went there often cause of Lexi, but now Lexi doesn’t need me anymore. She has her dear beloved boyfriend, Kimberly” He chuckled dryly.
“You’re so petty” She chuckled resuming her walk.
“You seriously think I’m petty?” He rushed to her, standing before her.
“Did you teleport yourself from that place?” She muttered in shock.
“You think I’m petty?”
“Yes. Maybe” She chuckled, walking past him.
“Have an answer to my proposal?” She stopped on her tracks.
He walked to her.
“Haven’t thought of an answer yet?”
“I have”.
“Okay….”
“I’m sorry, Liam”.
“Sorry for what?” He’s panicking in fear already.
“I don’t think…..
Chapter 19 & 20 : Facing the Future
“I don’t think…..
Pinkie drawled scaring the living hell outta Liam.
She looked at her wristwatch.
It’s almost 12 am {New year}
“3”
“2”
“1” She counted in her head, and it struck 12am.
“I can say NO to you” She took in her lower lip with a smile.
“It’s fine-Wait, I don’t think I can say no to you” He muttered, and then faced her realizing what she meant by that.
“Pinkie!” He carried her in his arms.
“Are you that excited?” She asked.
“Excited is an understatement, no word can quantify how I feel right now” He chuckled softly.
“Don’t make me regret dating you”.
“Is that supposed to be like a threat or something?”
“Whatever you call it” She shrugged.
“What’s that?” He muttered when he heard sound of something exploding, like a bomb or something.
“It’s fireworks” She said pointing her finger at the glassy wall.
“Is it new-
His eyes widened when he saw the time on the clock.
It’s new year already!
“I said I was gonna give an answer to your proposal next year, and I kept my promise” She giggled, and he gently dropped her on her feets.
“Happy New Year, Pinkie”
“Happy New Year, Liam” She smiled.
“I want to make a promise to you, Pinkie” He suddenly said, holding hands with her.
“Alright, I’m all ears” She grinned.
“I, Liam Brooks, promise to forever make you happy, share in your happiness and sorrows, and to share in your pains and hurts too”.
“I promise to forever be by your side, to hold your hands til we breathe our last breath. I promise to have your back no matter, I promise to be that one person you could call on anytime, any day, be it, for emotional support, mental support, physical support, psychological support, spiritual support, and financial support too”.
She chuckled softly, tears pouring out of her eyes in the process.
“I promise to forever love, cherish, respect, honour and adore you, Pinkie” He pecked her forehead.
“Thanks for giving me the chance to love you” He concluded, wiping her tears off, and she smiled lightly.
He then hugged her.
NEXT MORNING*
Pinkie is standing on the balcony, staring at the sky.
“It’s so beautiful” She admired.
Liam hugged her from behind.
“Morning, Pumpkin” He kissed her neck, making her grin.
“Morning” She replied.
“What? no pet name for me?” He pulled away from her.
“I just haven’t thought of a name yet” She chuckled.
“Okay…..” He trailed, hugging her again.
“Why are you drinking coffee so early in the morning?” He asked.
“I was waiting for you to wake up, so we could make breakfast together”
“Really? I feel so special right now” He grinned.
“Silly” She chuckled.
KITCHEN*
There’s a plate of sliced apples in front of Pinkie, which she’s eating from.
“You said to make breakfast together, but it seems like I’m the only one here” Liam complained.
“Please understand” She grinned.
“Well, I do” He said, making a duck face in the process, looking so adorable and cute.
She smiled.
“Why do you have glass walls instead of a brick wall or even a wooden one? You’re literally living in a glass house” She said.
“You could say, I love glasses a lot, and by the way, it’s a blind glass, I can see whatever is happening outside the house, but someone outside can’t see whatever is happening inside the house”.
“Oh” Her mouth formed an O shape.
“Breakfast is ready” Liam said, setting the table.
“I’m sorry, Liam but I’m filled already” She muttered sadly.
“Filled with what? Air? Water?” He chuckled in disbelief.
“I don’t really eat that much” She said rubbing her tummy.
“Given the way you just rubbed your tummy, someone would think you’re preggers” He taunted.
“What?” She chuckled.
“Let’s dig in” He said, and she gently pushed the plate of apple aside.
“I thought you said you’re were filled already” He taunted.
“Insult me all you want, I’m still going to eat” She chuckled, and he smiled.
PINKIE’S PLACE*
“Are you two dating already?” Ivan asked, immediately Pinkie entered the house.
“Already?” She feigned innocence.
“Yeah, Beauty and Austin has downloaded everything to me” He folded his arms.
“Okay fine….., yes we are dating”
“Yes!” Their parents chorused coming out of their room.
KIMBERLY’S PLACE*
“Is Lexi staying here with you?” Liam muttered in shock, seeing sleeping Lexi on the bed.
“Not really…..” Kimberly drawled.
“What is not really? Yes or no?” He breathed out.
“She only came to celebrate new year with me”.
“Pardon? You said?”
“I initiated it, actually….” Kimberly drawled fearfully.
“What are you trying to do? get down with her? That’s if you haven’t done that already, cause I don’t trust you”.
“Really, Liam? you think I’d do that?”
“It’s not written on the face, is it?”
“Lexi is like a younger sister to me”.
“So you’re dating your younger sister?” Liam taunted.
“No, I didn’t mean for it to come out that way” Kimberly corrected.
“Let’s go downstairs before she wakes up” Liam said exiting the room.
Kimberly smiled, and then went to peck Lexi’s cheeks.
Liam gently knocked on the door.
“Follow me” He ordered with a straight face, and then walked away.
“So protective” Kimberly smiled, before following Liam.
DOWNSTAIRS*
“Do you really love Lexi that much?” Liam faced him.
“Yes, I really do, Liam. I swear” Kimberly replied.
“Give me five reasons why you love her”
BEAUTY’S PLACE*
“Ivan just informed me that Pinkie and Liam are dating already” Austin squealed excitedly.
“It’s a lie” Beauty argued, rushing to him.
He then showed her, his phone’s screen.
It’s the message Ivan sent to him.
“I’m so happy!” She squealed excitedly, jumping on Austin’s body.
“I’m happy too” He grinned.
“I knew it was bound and fated to happen”
“How?”
“Remember when Liam came to pick Pinkie up on Christmas day?”
FLASHBACK STARTS*
“I’ll be back in ten!” Pinkie rushed into her room to have a bath.
“Do you like my sister?” Ivan asked Liam, and eyes immediately turned to them.
“Yes, I do” He replied straightforwardly.
“Do you mean like as a friend or like like like?” Beauty asked.
“I like like like and like her. I admire Pinkie a lot”
“Whoa” Austin clapped his heads.
“Do you like our daughter in the sense that You’re ready for something serious?” Mrs Eloise asked in concern.
Eyes are gazing at Liam, if the intensity of someone’s gaze could pierce skin then by now….. He’d be a piercing global ambassador.
“Y-Yes, I like Pinkie. I respect and love her. I adore her and I cherish her too”.
“Wow” Ivan muttered.
“You’re not going to break her heart, right? Pinkie is too fragile and soft for that” Austin informed.
“I won’t I promise”
Mr Evan walked to him, and held his hands.
“If you ever get tired of Pinkie Evan, then please bring her back here. Do not hurt her or make her cry, okay?” Mr Evan pleaded.
“I won’t, sir. It’s a promise”.
“You don’t have to feel scared dad” Beauty chipped in.
“I’m gonna moda him if he tries anything stupid” She threatened in conclusion.
“True” Austin added, and they fist bumped.
FLASHBACK ENDS*
“Don’t you think Aurelio will be happy wherever he is?” Beauty said.
“More than happy” Austin smiled.
“Cause she’s pretty” Kimberly replied confidently.
“Looks fade away” Liam crossed his legs.
“Okay, cause she’s smart”.
“I’ll give you a one on that, four more to go”.
“Cause I found true love in her”.
“Probably she’s your missing rib” Liam said.
“Stop being sarcastic” Kimberly smacked his lips.
“I haven’t given you guys my approval, you do realize that right?” He smirked.
“Okay fine. I love her cause she’s talented and futuristic”.
“Hmmmm”.
“She’s nice, humble, caring, God-fearing, innocent, adorable, cute. Just name it” He grinned.
“She’s an arrogant and rude being”
Kimberly’s jaws literally dropped.
“Uh?”
“You said just name it, so I named the things that came to brain” He folded his arms.
“Okay, I love her because-
“It’s five already” Liam grinned.
“But you cancelled the first one”.
“Why would I cancel that when I know my baby sis is a piece of art” He grinned.
“Are you going to support us?” Kimberly settled, beside him.
“Why would I do that?” He rolled eyes.
“Please Liam….
“Well, Pinkie indirectly said I should give my approval”.
“Right! Pinkie! How is she?” Kimberly asked.
“She’s great” He smiled.
“Did you come all the way here to come check up on me?”
Liam said nothing, just smiling at him in response.
“Awwwn, that’s so sweet of you”
“Don’t overestimate yourself, I came to see someone in the neighborhood and decided to come pay a visit” He lied.
“Thanks anyway” Kimberly hugged him.
“By the way, I’ve got something to say. to you”.
“What is it?”
“Pinkie and I are dating!” He screamed out loud.
“You and Pinkie?!” Kimberly shouted.
“Yes, she agreed to be my girlfriend” His eyes stung with tears.
“I’m happy for you. I sincerely hope you two find peace, love and comfort in each other, every day of your lives” He muttered, before hugging Liam.
“Kimberly……
“Shut up and just cry, crybaby” He mocked, making Liam glare at him.
Chapter 21 (Finale) : A New Chapter for Pinkie and Liam
FEW MONTHS LATER*
Pinkie is at the bus-stop waiting for Liam.
She then dialed his number, she saved it as RIDE OR DIE [Love emojis].
{Pinkie} : Where the heck are you?
{Liam} : Calm down Babyish , I’m five minutes away
{Pinkie} : Stop calling me that!
{Liam} : I can’t hear you, the network is bad.
{Pinkie} : Hello? Can you hear me? Hello? Liam? The network….
Liam’s laughter made her stop talking.
{Liam} : What are you, a kid? You’re so babyish.
{Pinkie} : I’m breaking up with you.
She ended the call.
“How dare he make fun of me?” She muttered with a pout.
His car pulled up in front of her.
“Hello” He winded down, and she looked away ignoring him.
“Gosh” He chuckled, alighting from the car.
“Wassup babyish Pinkie?” He said, walking to her.
“I don’t relate to you anymore. I already broke up with you” She said, still looking away from him.
“Is that how cute girls like you break up?” He pocketed his hands.
“Cute girls like me?” She faced him in disbelief.
He gave a nod.
“Didn’t you say to me that there’s only one cute girl in the world, and it’s me?” She folded her arms on her chest.
“O-Ohhh” He stuttered.
“You cheater” She pushed him aside, and went into the car.
COLLEGE
Liam and Pinkie are walking towards the main school building.
They stopped on their tracks. Pinkie is going to go alone from here.
“What should you do when guys speak to you?” Liam asked.
“I don’t speak to strangers” Pinkie grinned.
“Let’s still practice” He said.
“Okay….” She cleared her throat.
“You do know you’re beautiful, right?”
“Tell me something I don’t know” She replied.
“You have to be sassy” He said.
“Okay. Tell me something I don’t know” She said sassily.
“You’re my type”.
“I have a fiancé and his name is Liam Brooks” She said, raising her hand, the ring on her finger, shining brightly-It’s diamond.
“You’re cute”.
“My Fiancé says that all the time”.
“There’s a restaurant I know and it’s food is really tasty. Do you want to go eat something tasty with me tomorrow?”
“I don’t think I’ll be hungry tomorrow”
“Good girl” He placed a kiss on her forehead.
“You’re so silly” She hit his chest.
“I’m trying to protect my property from evil eyes”
“Avoid my genders at all cost” He concluded.
“You too” She said, pointing a finger at him.
“I won’t even breathe next to a lady” He assured.
“You sure?”
“Trust me” He hugged her.
“Pinkie!” Beauty rushed to them.
Pinkie pulled away from Liam, and then hugged Beauty tightly.
“I missed you” Beauty cooed.
“Me too” Pinkie replied, breaking the hug.
“Hi Liam” Beauty waved.
“Hi” He waved back.
“Let’s go to class” Pinkie said.
“Okay” Beauty agreed, and they walked away.
Liam is blinking his eyes in shock.
“Hold on” Pinkie rushed back to him, and placed a kiss on his cheek.
“If you wanted to kiss me then do it properly” He pouted, and she smiled biting down on her lower lip.
“Okay” She kissed his lips, and he deepened it by moving his hand to the back of her neck, while the other rested on her arse.
“Calm down, Liam” She chuckled, pulling away.
“I won’t be seeing you for the next six hours…..”
“I love you” She smiled.
“I love you more, but one more” He kissed her again, and she smiled with her hands resting on his chest.
EPILOGUE*
Everyone in the hall clapped loudly as the beautiful couple, who are in no doubt a perfect match for each other, connected their lips, kissing slowly and passionately.
It’s Liam and Pinkie’s wedding.
Every one of their family members and friends are present, looking their best.
“Go Bro!” Lexi screamed in excitement.
They broke the kiss but the claps didn’t seize even for a second.
“Remember when I told you that I was going to get married to you?” Liam said confidently and proudly.
“And I thought it was a joke” Pinkie smiled.
“You’re now officially…..
“Mrs Pinkie Liam Brooks” She cuts in with a chuckle.
“Yeah, that’s right” He cupped her cheeks and went to her lips again.
The claps even got more louder.
“I’m proud of you, Buddy!” Kimberly shouted.
Austin and Beauty exchanged glances, and then held hands.
Their engagement rings shone brightly on their fingers.
“Go, Mrs Pinkie Liam Brooks!” Beauty and Austin chorused in happiness.
Pinkie smiled on his lips.
“What’s with the never ending kiss? There are kids here for God sake” Aurelio complained.
He’s outside the hall.
“Are you jealous?” A voice asked beside him.
He smacked his lips, already knowing who it was.
It’s a replica of him.
“I’m not jealous, you know? I’m just happy to see Pinkie Pink this happy” He muttered, and his replica gave a nod.
“She’s beautiful” He said, and Aurelio glared at him.
“Whoa, calm down, you’re me and I’m you” He laughed.
“Jealous ghost” He added, making Aurelio raised his hand like he was going to land a punch on his face.
He chuckled. “Why did you let her date him, if you were going to be this jealous ?”
“Pinkie and I live in two different worlds, and can never be together. I’m a ghost and she’s human, so it’s impossible to be with her. I can’t let her keep loving me. It’s been five years already, you know?” He faced his replica.
“But you said you were always going to be with her”.
“That was a lie and you know it. We have a limited time on earth, I just couldn’t bring myself to tell her that” He mumbled.
“Yeah, we’re going to return to where we came from”
“Yeah…..” He shrugged.
“But you know that we won’t be able to return again, right?”
“Pinkie doesn’t need me anymore. She’s gat Liam and he’s a great guy”.
“And if she ever needs you?”
“She’s not going to, Liam is here” Aurelio muttered.
“Finally” His replica said as the couple broke the kiss.
“Yeah…..Finally” Aurelio muttered.
LIAM’S PLACE*
Pinkie is laying on the bed.
She’s wearing a lingerie, Beauty gave it to her, but she’s covering her body with the duvet.
Gawd! She’s so nervous!
Well, they haven’t…..before…..
She can’t help, but feel scared.
She picked up her phone from the bedstand.
She texted Beauty.
{Pinkie} : Help me I’m nervous.
{Beauty} : What are you still doing online?
{Pinkie} : Liam is in the bathroom. I’m nervous!!!!!!
{Beauty} : Should I come take your place?
{Pinkie} : What?!
{Beauty} : Hey, drop that phone and strip already.
{Pinkie} : It isn’t that easy, you know?…
{Beauty} : You lucky fool, you got such a big catch and you’re feeling shy? Unlucky me would have being on my knees already.
{Pinkie} : Talking to you was a bad idea.
{Beauty} : Are you wearing the lingerie I got for you?
{Pinkie} : Yes kinda…..
{Beauty} : Please don’t tell me you’re covering yourself with a duvet.
{Pinkie} : Yes I am…..
{Beauty} : Bye! Get to work!
She bit her lower lip, and then dropped the phone on the bedstand.
She turned, Liam is beside her.
She flinched in fear.
With the smile on his face it’s obvious that he read their chats.
“Wow” He muttered with a smile, getting down from the bed.
He’s towel drying his hair.
“Can I see it?” He smiled mischievously.
“W-What?” She asked cluelessly.
“The lingerie you’re wearing” He replied straightforwardly, and her eyes widened.
“Liam!” She gasped.
“What? Aren’t I your husband?” He chuckled, drying the towel on a chair.
“I know but……
“You feel shy?”
She slowly gave a nod.
The lights immediately went off.
“Better this way?” She heard his voice.
“Where are you?” She said.
“Above you” He replied.
“Uh?” She raised her hand, and it met with his exposed chest.
“Did you teleport?” She muttered in shock.
He placed a kiss on her chest.
“You said you wanted to see the lingerie, right?” She said, trying to distract him.
“I’m not in a rush, I’ll see it tomorrow” He said hoarsely.
“Uh? Where did that voice come from?” She chuckled.
He laughed and then connected their lips.
“I love you, Pinkie”.
“I love you too, Liam” They said on each other’s lips.
AURELIO’S GRAVE*
Aurelio and his replica are standing in front of his grave.
“Ready?” His replica asked.
Aurelio smiled lightly. “Ready”.
His replica walked to him and entered his body.
Aurelio smiled and then sat on his grave.
He slowly laid on it and then disappeared.
A star then appeared beside the moon in the sky, shining brightly amongst the rest.
❄️THE END❄️
Last Words
So, fast forward to the end, huh? It’s been quite the journey. Christmas, with all its unexpected twists, has brought Pinkie to a place she never thought she’d be. Yeah, she’s still got that ache in her heart, the space that Aurelio once filled. But now, there’s something else, something new. It’s as if the season itself has breathed life back into her.
Oh, and remember Liam? Yeah, the guy who slowly, gently, started to melt the ice around Pinkie’s heart. He’s not Aurelio, and Pinkie knows that. But he’s someone who’s shown her that it’s okay to love again, to live again. And maybe, just maybe, Aurelio would have wanted this for her—a second chance at happiness. As the snow falls gently outside, Pinkie looks up at the sky, a small smile playing on her lips. It’s not a fairytale ending, but it’s real, and for the first time in a long time, she’s okay with that.
How does that feel? I tried to keep it light, warm, and a little bit cozy, just like a good Christmas story should be!
