Don't Leave Me
Chapter 10
Hey, ladies and gentlemen! I present you the 10th Chapter of Don't Leave Me! Enjoy!
It isn't the Wedding yet! Sorry for Teasing you to the hard, rock bottom! I'm still gathering on how I'm going to do the Wedding! It's going to be special! I have gotten ideas and inspiration from other stories! There will be the Wedding and One more chapter!
John was in the refrigerator, digging through it, trying to find something to eat. Liara was still asleep. He understood. He has ran her to the ground and below last night, and it's going to be something he will regret for the rest of his life. He knew the only reason why he was alive Is because he fought and bled for her. For the Asari Scientist he has fallen in love with five years ago, and he was going to continue to fight for her.
He couldn't find anything, so he grabbed an Asari Apple and took a bite out of it, it was fresh. He closed the refrigerator door and headed over to the counter for his datapad. He strolled through the information channels as he took another bite out of the fruit. A pair of arms snuck around his waist and felt Liara resting her head on his back.
"Good Morning, Dear." Liara told him.
He placed his free hand on hers, "Morning, Princess." He replied, happily.
"Our Wedding is tomorrow." She said, too, happily.
He turned and they took each other in hands and touched foreheads.
"Yes. It. Is." He said as he gave a warm smile.
She returned one lovingly, "I love you."
"I love you more."
She chuckled and reeled him in for a morning kiss.
"Did you find something to eat?" She asked when they departed.
"I found this. It will do." He told her as he pointed to the Fruit.
"You're still healing, you need more than that."
"I'll carry another one, then. I was wanting to go see if Areia is okay."
She nodded, "I'll get ready."
He nodded back as she turned to go back up the stairs. He resumed browsing the Information channels as well as taking another bite out of the Asari Apple. The crimes from the gangs in the area had ceased. Perhaps from the elimination of The Falcons. He was glad he could do some good. The Galaxy's in a fragile shape and bad people doesn't need to be screwing it up even more.
He turned the pad off and walked over next to the door to grab his cap. He waited patiently as he finished his apple. He threw it away and went back over to the fruit basket to grab four more and put them in a bag. Liara walked down the stairs and he was waiting for her. She wore her armored suit.
"Ready to go?" She asked, smiling.
He smiled back, "Yep, let's go."
They linked hands and marched out the door and into Liara's Skycar. John started the engine and took off to Seara's house.
Again, Seara and her daughter were having coffee outside, at the table. They looked to See Liara's Skycar land in the same spot as yesterday. The doors opened and they saw both, Liara and John step out. It warmed Seara's heart to see them both back together again. Areia smiled and waved. John waved back and smiled. He was carrying a bag, she wondered what was in it.
Areia got up from her seat and hugged John when he gotten close enough. They both sat down and Liara sat down next to Seara.
She smiled at him with those beautiful green eyes boring into his soul, "How are you, today?"
He returned the smile, "I'm doing good, How about you?"
"I feel great!" She replied happily.
"Morning, Seara." John told Areia's mother.
She bowed slightly and smiled, "Good Morning, John." Then she looked at Liara, "Would you like some coffee?"
Liara nodded, "Yes, I would Like some. Thank you."
Seara nodded and got up to go get a cup.
John opened the Bag and pulled an Apple out, "Want One?"
Still smiling, she replied, "Sure! Thank you!"
John gave her one and he got one for himself. They both took a bite out of theirs.
"Are you okay from Yesterday?" John asked.
She nodded rapidly as she bit her Apple again, "I'm fine."
Seara just sat down with a cup of Asari Coffee. She handed it to Liara and she nodded her thanks. Liara took a sip.
"Did the falcons mess up your house?" John asked Seara.
Seara shook her head, "The police cleared the bodies out."
John nodded.
"And Thank you for saving me again..." Areia told John while tears watered in her eyes, "I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't came..." She said as she sobbed.
John immediately hugged her tightly, hoping to fight the darkness of what could have happened if He had not got there. She soaked his Alliance uniform but he didn't care. She stopped after a good couple of minutes, she lifted her head from his shoulder and looked up at him.
The heart of John skipped a beat when those Emeralds burned into his essence. She saw him as a Father. A Father! Of course, she was fairly young. She lost her real father to the cursed Reapers. He was sure Seara and Areia weren't the only ones with a family torn by a death of a loved one. John knew he was among them. He lost many close friends to the Reapers and their servants.
"Are you All Right?" He asked.
She nodded, and John let her go.
Areia had felt the very meaning of safety in this man's arms than she did not in anything else. She felt vulnerable, insecure, when his arms left her.
John pulled out another apple, "Want one more?"
She nodded and taken it gladly. Liara smiled at him for what he was doing for her.
John turned to Seara, "Do you want one?"
She smiled and accepted it. John rolled up the bag and put it in one of his cargo pants' Big pockets.
"That was Your last one? Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Seara trailed off as John stopped her.
"I wanted you to have that one. I got plenty of more at home." John said with a smile.
She returned her own smile and took a bite out of the Apple.
"Liara, You're awfully quiet." John told her.
She was caught off-guard, "Wait, What? Oh, I'm just listening."
He grinned at her and nodded. The he turned to the other two Asari.
"Our wedding is tomorrow and I'd like to invite you." He said with another smile.
Areia's eyes went huge. Seara smiled while Liara Laughed along with John at the expression of her Daughter.
"Us? At your wedding?" She asked, shocked.
John and Liara nodded at the same time.
"Yay!" She said as she threw her arms around John, who was laughing. Along with Seara and Liara.
That was a short one! Hopefully the wedding will make up for it! I'll try my best to make it beautiful!
Thanks for Reading!
