Chapter 10: The Final Confession of a Vellington

It was all even now. With DéMarckus already declaring that he had no other girl treat him like Lucky Chloe does and the otaku just confessing that she only had one other man do the same towards her, everything about them was shared within a matter of a few days… or so it seems… and now, they could focus entirely on just spending every single day together along with the Vellington murder investigation. Shortly after Chloe told that fateful story about Xavier, his name was indeed embedded in stone for the pair to remember forever as they were just taking a peaceful walk around town for a while, hand-in-hand. Of course, their little sexy game of Curiosity Wets the Cat had resumed at the very moment they stepped out the apartment door, but they kept quiet about it for a while as they were somehow passing by so many children with their families. Seeing this sparked another curious question from Lucky Chloe as she looked up at her Vellington boyfriend:

"Aren't you jealous?"

"About dese kids wit dere parents?" DéMarckus replied, which made the otaku nod once in response. "I ain't gon' lie. I am a lil' bit jealous of 'em, but den again, I really shouldn't. Dey blessed ta still have their parents while dey still so young. Even if dey keep 'em afta dey graduate from high school, I still ain't gon' be mad at 'em."

"That's a relief. Nya! I guess when bad things happen to good people, it still turns out for the better regardless of the results."

"Yeah, exactly. What makes me feel good, tho', is da fact dat dese kids actually look up ta me as a hero." Hearing that last statement made Chloe perk up with a bigger smile as they were just walking towards a city park entrance and followed a clean dirt path.

"Wow! Nya! Really?!"

"Heh, heh… yeah." Her cuteness tickled him once more as he continued. "Garrie must've given some of dem youngins da 411 on how depressed I was afta my parents' death and dey were just thrilled dat I'm still sane aftawards."

"It's probably because of all this… delicious muscle ya got. Nya…" Chloe trailed away as she was giving DéMarckus a few gentle strokes up and down his left arm. "You've taught them that using brawn isn't the way to get over your sadness."

"Yep! Dat's about da size of it, Lucky Chlo. I know dey miss me back ova in Sacramento."

"Do they know about that bastard bully, Montego Jones?"

"Naw, but I'm sho dey know dat I've had a bully at some point and dat's da otha reason why dey look up ta me. It feels just as good as you, baby." They finally approached a vacant park bench at the very heart of the park as the Vellington said that last word and he took a seat first before she sat in his lap in a sultry pose without her legs wrapped around his waist for once. They were staring as deeply into each other's eyes as they could, admiring their respective glows from the afternoon sun.

"Oh, I know it does. Nya! You're not letting anything stop ya from being the Vellington you were born into."

"Heh, yeah. Ya got dat right, Chloe-baby." After that last word, the two shared a compassionate kiss that wasn't too wild this time and it lasted for the next five minutes before they slowly broke away from it right on time to see an adorable pair of Caucasian twin boys at their age of 10. They both had brown hair, one had light brown eyes, and the other had navy blue ones. They also wore identical outfits of a black t-shirt with white overalls and black and white sneakers. DéMarckus got the message immediately and gave them his undivided attention, even with Lucky Chloe still having her slender arms wrapped around his neck as she looked at the two boys as well.

"Are you DéMarckus Vellington?" One twin asked with an excited smile. The man nodded twice. "You moved here to Japan, too?!"

"Yeah… HEY! Ya'll da Zalfa Twins: Vincent and Clemint! When did ya'll get here?!" Hearing this made the otaku widen her adorable smile as she remained silent.

"Just last week!" Clemint replied with his blue eyes shimmering with excitement. "When did you get here?!"

"About two years ago. What'cha doin' here, yo?!"

"Our parents got new jobs here!" Vincent replied. "Our Mom's a really important banker and our Dad's a lawyer. We had to move here to Japan because they're executives now."

"Dat's awesome, ya'll!"

"Heh, heh… thanks. Aren't you… jealous at us?"

"You sounded just like my baby girl, Lucky Chloe, right here. She just asked me da same question, yo."

"What did you say?" Clemint asked as the otaku finally got off DéMarckus' lap and sat casually as she watched the three have their peaceful conversation. During that time, however, a thought echoed in her mind as the Vellington answered the twins:

I'm so glad he's so friendly towards kids. He wasn't kidding when he said that they look up to him as a hero. Some of my fans kinda do the same thing, especially after my comeback from my horrific accident that nearly killed me. This game of Curiosity Wets the Cat is slowly coming back to me now as I'm watching this. He just looks soooooo hot right now, even if he's just talking to a couple of kids. Damn, I love it so much! Nya!

"Awwww, that's kinda nice." Vincent commented as he and his twin brother were now securely snuggled with DéMarckus in a warm embrace that made Chloe's kitty cat purr and drool simultaneously, even while she kept her adorable game face in check. She never made a sound, either. "I guess Mom and Dad were right. You do have a heart that so big, it makes your muscles seem small."

"…mm! Dat's a good way ta put it and well made." DéMarckus commented as he did a double take on that last statement. "I do put my heart befo' e'rythang else nowadays. I may have all dis muscle right here, but dat don't mean nothin'… well, to Lucky Chloe, it does mean somethin', but I can't say it to ya'll. I'll give ya'll eleven mo' years befo' ya know."

"Awwww, c'mon!" Both of the twins exclaimed with humor before giggling with DéMarckus' chuckles.

"Heh, heh, heh, heh… naw, sorry. Can't say nothin', but you'll learn 'bout da birds and da bees eventually anyway."

"Okay!"

"Oh, my God…" A gruff male voice came in and the four of them looked straight ahead to see a man in his mid-thirties that looked just like the twins, except he had Clemint's blue eyes. He was approaching them with a beautiful woman that had the same brown hair, except it was at medium length, stopping at the back of her neck, and her eyes matched her hair color as well. She too was astonished to see who was holding their sons with so much love. "…you're… you're the Vellington we've heard so much about back in Sacramento. Are you truly the only living person of that family name left on Earth?!"

"Da one and da same." DéMarckus replied as he released the twins first before he stood up to make his acquaintance with the rest of the small family. Lucky Chloe didn't waste a moment standing up with him as well, knowing that she'll have to introduce herself as well. "Da name's DéMarckus Terrance Vellington. It's nice ta meet'cha, Mr. Zalfa." The two men shook hands at that last word.

"It's an honor to meet you as well." The handshake ended after that was said and it was nothing but smiles among this small gathering. "Please do call me Anthony and this is my wife, Melonie. My entire family and I look up to you, son. I know it's difficult living your life without your parents, but I bet you pulled through it eventually."

"I'm livin' life while I'm still standin'. I gotta make da most of it, ya know."

"I hear ya. So glad to hear that you're doing well for someone who lost his only source of family during his high school graduation. Nowadays, when something like that happens, the victim is dead the next day. How come that didn't happen to you? Did it ever cross your mind?" This question made Lucky Chloe perk up with more attention. This was something she had to hear for herself as well. DéMarckus frowned as the entire Zalfa family now stood before him, having Melonie have one slender hand on a shoulder of each twin.

"…it did at one point. I ain't gon' lie ta ya'll." A harsh gasp was heard from everyone around him, having his otaku girlfriend's gasp be the most horrifying to hear. "Dis was befo' my best friend, Garrie, tried to console me. I told him dat I was so stressed out and depressed from it… I wanted ta kill myself, so I could stay by their side in heaven foreva."

Oh, no! Lucky Chloe's thoughts rang in again. She was too speechless to verbally express her feelings. And I thought revealing the fact that I survived a freak accident and still remained the freestyle champion was shocking!

"How exactly were you planning to kill yourself?!" Melonie asked in a strict tone of her sultry mother's voice.

"In da same exact way my parents died: By a car accident. It happened so fast fo' Garrie, he ain't see it comin' as I was drivin' to nowhere. What I ended up gettin' inta was a high speed chase with da po-po for two hours. Garrie kept steerin' me away from potential crashes dat I tried to do on purpose and he stayed calm da whole time, despite how panicked he was. I… just didn't care… at all." DéMarckus started to cry waterfalls of tears as he said that last statement in a cracking tone of his deep voice. Chloe saw this from his left side, but dared not to touch him until he was finished telling this remarkable story. She was even tearing up with him, but she held back her tears. "Even at dat point, I even wanted da po-po ta shoot me down when dey finally caught me."

"Unbelievable!" Anthony exclaimed. "Didn't Garrie talk them out of it?!"

"Yeah, he did and he even begged dem ta drop da speedin' charge and give me two weeks to straighten myself out. It worked… and it was all because of both my parents and Garrie. It was what he said afta a whole week of tryin': Killin' yaself isn't gonna bring 'em back. I took dat in like a champ. I ain't wanna end up like those dumb suiciders we keep hearin' 'bout e'ry single day. It just makes e'rythang worse for e'ryone around ya…" The Vellington paused as he faced Lucky Chloe and held her close enough for her to hear his heart beating right in her right ear, which made her close her glowing blue eyes as tightly as she could and her tears finally escaped, slightly drenching his diesel arm and a little bit of his chest. It felt good to him as he continued. "…especially dose I love mo' dan myself and my brotha from anotha motha put togetha."

"…awwww." The entire Zalfa family sang out in unison with respect before Anthony continued. "No wonder the kids all over Sacramento respect you."

"Yeah. Just seein' their faces is enough ta make me regret even tryin' ta kill myself in da first place. Now, my baby girl's makin' me regret it even mo'."

"I see. You're the Lucky Chloe, right?"

"(Sniffle)… yeah." The otaku finally got to speak since meeting this loving family.

"You… are… blessed… to have a man like DéMarckus in your heart. Only he… alone… has taught everyone about the many struggles life can bring to the table, which are mostly unannounced. And let me just say this from a man's perspective: It's not easy maintaining something that could potentially harm someone. He's got all that brawn, but has more brains and a heavier heart. Heck, his heart is heavier than his own body weight! That's what it seems like to me."

"Same here." Melonie agreed with her twin boys simultaneously by accident. Hearing this made Chloe smile as her Vellington lover humbly volunteered to wipe away her tears with a single thumb as Melonie continued. "Do you feel the same way?"

"How can I not? Nya!" The otaku looked up at him, still snuggled comfortably within the Vellington's soft, strong arms. They were both looking deeply into each other eyes. "He's been through so much before he met me… but I never knew he tried to kill himself. Why didn't you tell me before, baby?"

"I ain't wanna scare ya and lose yo' love. I know ya wouldn't wanna date someone who would even think about committin' suicide." DéMarckus replied with every last ounce of honesty. "Do ya still love me, Chloe-baby?"

"More than myself. What's in the past is done and it's a hefty piece of baggage I can carry with ya forever, no matter what. I love you, DéMarckus… so much." After that last word, the two engaged in a passionate kiss that never turned out too wild for the kids at all as they were allowed to watch with their parents, who had never let down their smiles. It lasted for the slowest three minutes of their lives until they slowly parted and their eyes never shifted away from each other for another ten seconds before DéMarckus felt that Lucky Chloe had something to whisper to him in an ear and he leaned down towards her to hear what she had to say: "You owe me tonight… I'm gonna shake my booty for ya so hard, you'll wanna taste it. Nya…" Hearing that made his dick harder than a brick, but he held back a groan for the sake of the kids that were still watching them with their parents. "Ya hear me, baby?"

"Clear as day, baby girl. Our game is still on, tho'." DéMarckus whispered back. It was completely inaudible towards the Zalfa family, who never questioned them at all as they allowed the horny couple to continue. "Are ya gettin' wet?"

"…when we get away from the kids, I'll tell ya." That made the man grin from ear to ear, something he hasn't done since catching his first interception during his freshman year of high school. That smile made the boys laugh, which immediately made the couple return their attention to the loving family before them as they separated from each other's arms.

"Heh, easy boys." Anthony warned them. "Looks like everything's fine now. That was a hefty piece of baggage that just had to be opened. So glad you're still alive and well, even after that struggle. I'm sure you'll never do it again."

"Neva!" DéMarckus declared with a salute. "I'll leave da suicide to dose dat are dumb enough to do it from now on."

"That's the spirit. Well, we better get going. The boys have school tomorrow."

"Awwwwww, DAAAAD!" The twins exclaimed with boredom as they walked off with their Father. Melonie had one more thing to do: She approached the lone Vellington and gave him a heavenly embrace. He instantly felt like he was hugging his own beloved Mother.

"Here's a mother's embrace, honey." She said near DéMarckus' left ear. It made him cry silent tears of joy as he kept his warm hug gentle, despite all that muscle. "Since you haven't had one since before your graduation, call it a reminder of how it feels."

"Thank you so much, Melonie." He said in a muffled cracking version of his deep Southern voice as he was crying within her shoulder. Lucky Chloe admired this scene for as long as the embrace itself. They never released until about five minutes later when Anthony called out to his wife. Afterwards, Melonie gave him a nod that had 'Good Luck' written all over it, especially with her heavenly smile of a kindhearted Mother, before she finally left with her family. When they were gone, Lucky Chloe kept her adorable smile of respect in check as she got behind DéMarckus and, out of an act of reflex, he was already positioned to give her another piggyback ride by the time she made a 10-point leap onto his back. By the time her slender arms were around his neck with her hands planted flat on his hard chest, she finally said what he wanted to hear:

"…yeah, I'm soaked. Nya!"

"Does dat mean I win?" DéMarckus asked as he continued down the park path.

"As much as I don't want it to end so soon, yeah. You win. That was a short game. Then again, I love ya so much, DéMarckey-baby. I can't help it."

"Yeah, I undastand, Lucky Chlo. It's a'ight. But, ya said I owe ya tanight wit dat booty and I can't pass dat sweet-ass shit up."

"Awesome! So… how did it feel? Hugging a mother? Nya!"

"Ya ain't got no idea, Chloe-baby. I haven't done dat since befo' by high school graduation. Dat was literally da last time I've seen my parents."

"Mm! I kinda feel your pain, now that I did a double-take on all this."

"Ya do?" The two made it to the end of the path and turned back around to go back the way they came by the time DéMarckus said that last word.

"Yeah. I… don't really know if I even had any parents to begin with. My memories have been… fucked up… since I became a freestyle dancer and an otaku at the same time. I don't even remember my childhood anymore."

"Damn. Life can do dat to yo' cute ass. At da very second ya become some kind of supastar in ya own right, e'rythang 'bout yo' past is just… gone… and there ain't a damn thang ya can do 'bout it."

"Yeah, you're right. But, look at me…" Lucky Chloe paused as she gently pulled back on her Vellington lover's broad shoulders and he immediately stopped in his tracks peacefully before she got off his back and got around him to face him while giving sultry, compassionate strokes to his facial hair. "…that fact never stopped me from being me… and you love me just for that. Even though I'm gonna be spending the rest of my life wondering about my past, it won't bother me at all. Same goes for you, baby. As long as your parents are still watching over ya from heaven, you can still be yourself, no matter what people think of ya."

"…thank ya, baby girl. I actually needed ta hear dat right now. I have been letting visions of my parents' death flash befo' my eyes e'ry now and den. Are you tellin' me I should stop dat shit?"

"Ohhhh, no… it wouldn't hurt to look back every so often, but don't do it so much that it… steers ya away from me. Garrie was successful in healing your depression once. I highly doubt that he'll do it again."

"Mm. Yeah, you right. He literally worked up a sweat tryin'. I'm-a tone it down a bit from now on."

"There ya go. In the meantime, let's go visit him at his new job. I'll bet he's doing great on his first day." Hearing that previous statement made DéMarckus smile as he and Lucky Chloe continued back down the park path towards the entrance hand-in-hand this time.

"Glad ya care 'bout him as much as I do. We ain't blood related, but it sho' as hell feels like it."

"And that's good enough for me and your parents." The two were still walking as Chloe was now hugging his right arm with all her love after she said that. It was due to be a good day, despite the fact that their sexy game of Curiosity Wets the Cat ended so soon.

Meanwhile, at that same pet superstore…

"Thanks and have fun with your new pet rabbit!" Garrie called out to a Japanese father and his teenage son as they just left the store with a bunny cage. Carl just approached him from the back of the store and gave his equally short partner a well-deserved round of applause along the way.

"Bravo, Garrie!" The albino man commented. "Your first adoption and you were as professional as they come. Have you done this before?"

"Heh, heh… well, kinda. DéMarckus and I used to help his Dad sell his own line of men's jewelry at his store for a couple of weeks before, back when we were in middle school. God bless his soul, he was the best Father figure I ever looked up to. That's how DéMarckus became such an awesome role-model for everyone in Sacramento. I don't know what his parents taught him, but he sure is doing well… especially since after his… incident… that I nearly took a bullet for."

"Huh? What happened?"

"You probably saw it on the news two years ago… what you thought was a rumor…"

"…ohhhhh… DéMarckus nearly killin' himself. Huh! I was true after all, eh?" Garrie's back was turned away from the glass doors, which made him completely oblivious to the Vellington himself and Lucky Chloe arriving. Not even Carl saw the two as he was focused on Garrie.

"Yeah. Shortly after that phone call from the police, the graduation went on as usual… and then… after we all left, DéMarckus started to act really possessive for some reason. He dragged me into his car and he tried so hard to kill himself by a car crash, the same fate as his parents. That was scary enough, but what made it horrifying was the fact that he wanted to take me with him! That was NOT like him at all!"

"Whoa… I'm guessin' it didn't work… right?"

"Thank God! We ended up on a high speed chase for hours and I convinced the police to give us two weeks to straighten things up for the sake of his sanity. It worked within one week, but I still needed that extra week to make sure he was truly sane enough to get back behind the wheel. I basically told him this after the week of therapy…"

"Killin' yo'self won't bring yo' parents back." DéMarckus finally spoke as a sign of his presence. Hearing this made the two short men look at him with surprise, having Garrie nearly trip over his own feet. "I ain't neva gon' fo'get dose words, yo."

"…heh, yep. Ya got that right. How long have you two been standing there?"

"Long enough ta hear da full recap from yo' point of view. Lucky Chlo kinda needed ta hear it."

"Ah, of course."

"Hey, DéMarckus!" Carl greeted. "Long time no see, buddy!" The two men shook hands, even while the Vellington's other hand was still holding on to Lucky Chloe's slender one with all the affection in his soul, making her smile. "Do my eyes still scare ya?"

"Naw, man. Not anymo'."

"That's good… and I see ya really did get yaself a girl… even after all those failed dates I've heard about before. How'd ya get this one?"

"Gon ordered somethin' and I delivered it."

"Huh! Enough said. Garrie already told me all about it. You're the Lucky Chloe, the freestyle champion… and you're dating this badass football player! How does that make ya feel, sweetheart?"

"Like a brand new girl! Nya!" The otaku replied with all the joy in her heart, making DéMarckus smile even bigger. "He's seen me dance already and he loves what I do."

"Heh! I'll bet he does. Ya giving him all the hospitality in da world, right?"

"As much as I can, yeah. I love him so much! Nya!"

"Awww, that's cute… and you're pretty cute, too."

"Thankies! Nya!"

"Heh, heh… yep. She's a keeper, alright. By the way, there's somethin' I've been wantin' ta ask ya."

"Shoot."

"Did ya have a man that was just as good as DéMarckus before meeting him?"

"Yeah."

"Ya did?!" Garrie was shocked to hear this as he asked that question, getting a nod as a response from the loving couple.

"He's a good dude, ya'll. His name is Xavier Daniel Carson." DéMarckus replied as the four headed to the back until a customer rang in. They each took a seat of their own, having Garrie and Carl sit next to each other before the couple. "He was a brotha, but he had blue eyes. Dat's one thang that made him stand out."

"What was the other thing?" Carl asked.

"His selflessness." Lucky Chloe replied in a sultry tone of her adorable voice. "He was a bystander, but he didn't play that role entirely during my accident. He actually took the time out of his life to come see me and take care of me after my surgery. He literally told me that he really had nothing better to do at that point, especially since his parents wanted to ignore him after he became a successful auto mechanic."

"Huh!" Both Garrie and Carl exclaimed with astonishment as they looked at each other for three seconds before returning their attention to Chloe and DéMarckus, who nodded in agreement with the otaku's last statement.

"Dat's what got me da most, yo. How are ya so good at somethin' ya love and yo' parents don't even give ya a pat on da back? I just don't get dat shit, ya'll! Damn!" DéMarckus stated with absolute disbelief. Carl was speechless as he crossed his arms and shook his head like a disappointed Father as Garrie spoke.

"Hmmm… that's unfortunate for him." The Vellington's long time best friend agreed. "I mean, having you lose your parents before your high school graduation is 100 times worse than that, but still. He has his parents and they don't even want nothing to do with him. Tsk-tsk-tsk. That's a shame."

"That's what I thought, too. Nya." Lucky Chloe agreed. "I really sure do hope we meet again someday. DéMarckus said that he would welcome him with open arms… and I would welcome him back… with open legs. Nyaaaahhh…" She pulled off a sensual smirk that still had a cute taste to it, making all of the men in the room chuckle.

"Heh-heh-heh-heh! Of course, ya will."

"Do ya know where he is now?" Carl briefly asked. Chloe bowed her head with shame, providing her answer. "No?"

"Despite all that, he never told me where he came from." The otaku confessed. "He just told me what he did for living. That's it. So, no. I have no idea where he is."

"Awww, don't worry, Chloe-baby." DéMarckus reassured as he held her close for comfort while she laid her head down on his chest with a smile on her face, looking up at him. "You promised me yo' cute ass would teach me somethin' afta we get the justice I deserve and I promise ta find Xavier fo' ya on da side. How's dat?"

"Sounds perfect, nya!" The man gave her a loving kiss on her forehead as an added incentive of kindness. Garrie grew puzzled, however.

"Teach ya what, DéMarckus?" He asked. The couple looked at each other for a few seconds before the lone Vellington nodded twice with permission. Lucky Chloe sat up straight and replied with courage:

"DéMarckus has never learned how to ride a bike. I promised him not to tell ya, but since he let it slip, well…"

"…whaaaaa…?" Right after that was said from Garrie, Carl heard the bell at the entrance through the door and made his way out while the conversation continued. "All these years we've spent together since kindergarten… and you've never, ever rode a bike in your life?!"

"Yeah, I know, Gare. I fucked up, a'ight? Guilty." DéMarckus confessed. "Runnin' was always my way of getting all ova da streets of Sacramento, bruh. I ain't need no bike."

"Huh! Funny how you failed to mention that to me by the time we just started our senior year of high school. I asked you if you had something to open up to before exiting the bus that morning on our first day and you said…"

"…naw. Yeah, I know. I didn't wanna make ya look bad in front of all yo' nerd friends, man." Lucky Chloe and Garrie both took in that last statement with every sense, having Garrie smack his lips twice as he felt a sour taste in his mouth.

"…wow. I guess I can accept that. By the way, if ya told me that ya didn't know how to ride a bike, I could've given ya a private lesson in my backyard during that weekend."

"…oh." The Vellington blushed with embarrassment as he said this. His otaku lover saw this and giggled. Garrie chuckled with her.

"Heh, heh… don't fret over it, D. I forgive ya. At least you'll have a freestyle champion teaching ya later. That should make every man around Sacramento green with envy, dude."

"I hope so, man."

"GARRIE! We got work to do!" Carl called out from the closed double doors, immediately telling the three to stand up simultaneously.

"Well, I better get back to work." Garrie briefly said, cracking his knuckles along the way. "I've still got another five hours left of my shift and I'm having fun so far. I love it here."

"Dat's good ta hear, yo!" DéMarckus cheered. "You keep doin' what'cha doin'."

"Oh, I will. How 'bout you? What are you two gonna be doin' before I get home for dinner?"

"Dat's for us ya know and fo' yo' short ass ta find out."

"Goddamn it!"

Meanwhile, at the Tekken Mansion…

Gon, Alisa, Julia, and Marduk were working together to clean out any remains of Lucky Chloe's former room to make space for Gigas. During that time, Alisa had just received new information regarding the Vellington murder investigation and decided to share it.

"Just got word from the Sheriff of the Sacramento Police Department." Alisa alerted, getting everyone's ears open, even though they were focused on cleaning the room. "It turned out that the first person of interest has been taken into custody peacefully. He's cooperating with them without any complications."

"Huh!" Marduk and Gon said simultaneously by accident while Julia looked over at the android with just as much bewilderment.

"That's odd." Julia pointed out. "Do they have his name?"

"They're not releasing that information at this time… not until they interrogate him. Once it does become available, I shall inform DéMarckus immediately."

"…I just only hope ya don't call him during his… playtime… with Lucky Chloe." Gon muttered with humor.

"That is highly unlikely at this point. They're bound to be engaged in some form of sexual activity by the time I call."

"Yeech! Forget I mentioned that then."

"Hey-hey-hey-hey, man! Show 'em some respect!" Marduk protested. "DéMarckus had a rough life afta his parents died. He deserves ta be manhandled by Lucky Chloe at every chance they get. They love each other for who they are, what they've been through, and how strong they've been gettin' through all that shit!"

"…huh! For once, Marduk's actually right on this one." Julia agreed with shock. "And Gon, you helped them get together. A good majority of the credit should go to you for how well their relationship's been going so far. I've heard word from around town lately that DéMarckus officially loves Lucky Chloe so much… he would never, EVER cheat on her, even if he pissed her off for some reason."

"…really?" Gon asked after doing a double-take. "What about Chloe? Didn't she say the same thing?"

"I don't know, but I have no doubt about it. Alisa, what say you?"

"Chloe feels the exact same way 100 percent." The android replied as she finished cleansing the queen size mattress and faced her three colleagues. "Their hearts are one and nobody shall tear them apart. Not even an old flame could separate them. He or she could be part of the family as a source of additional support for DéMarckus instead."

"Wow." Gon mentally slapped himself in the head for everything he's thought of secretly in his head about all of this. He's been thinking it would all be over in a matter of a month, but at this rate, that's impossible. Gon has played his role of cupid for the millionth time since his existence and, this time, it was due to have permanent lifelong results. Marduk saw this in the small dinosaur's eyes as he was sitting in a solemn position on his left shoulder with his head bowed down with shame. "…what da hell have I been thinkin'?! I've… I've gotta be honest, you guys. I've been playing cupid for soooooooo long since I grew up during the Paleozoic era of the dinosaurs and they've all failed since then… until now. Something about DéMarckus really makes him stand out… well… other than the fact that he's literally the only man on Earth with the Vellington name."

"Maybe they've discovered more secrets that only a Vellington can provide and, depending on those secrets themselves, they must've thought positive each time." Alisa pointed out. "In other words, whether those are good or bad, one thing is absolutely certain: They get tied closer and closer together… up to the point where they it's impossible to separate them."

"That's the power of hospitality, baby!" Marduk cheered as he prepared a fist towards Gon for a soft fist bump. The rex reluctantly returned it with buoyancy. "Let 'em do their thing!"

"Yeah, I gotcha." Gon finally surrendered. "Okay, I've got my confidence back. In fact, I hope Garrie doesn't mind."

"…oh, I'm sure they wouldn't." The three fighters agreed, already getting the jest of what the short rex meant by that last statement.

Four and a half hours later, back at Garrie and DéMarckus' apartment…

The Vellington and Lucky Chloe were watching an X-rated film together in the living room with smiles of both peace and lust on their faces, especially since DéMarckus had an arm around her and that hand had a firm, but gentle grip on one of her succulent breasts and just gave it tender squeezes every few seconds. As for the otaku, she returned the favor with her left hand just resting on his crotch, feeling his already hard erection through the denim fabric of his jeans. They miraculously kept silent the entire time as they were in that sensual position and kept their focus on the steamy flick on the big screen TV. During that time, they mentally had something to say about this sexy cute moment:

Ooooh, nyaaaahh… Lucky Chloe's voice echoed in her head. He is soooooo ready for more of this Lucky Chloe sweetness. He's harder than a brick right now… and this movie's makin' me wet. I'm soaked already! Where did he get this?! I wanna have what this chick's havin'! Damn! Keep squeezing me, DéMarckey-baby. I want ya to shove that dick into me tonight! Nya!

I'm glad I found dis sweet-ass movie right here. DéMarckus' voice rang in his head. I kinda forgot I had it fo' a minute. I haven't watched dis since I first became curious 'bout sex back when I was thirteen. My Dad gave it ta me while Ma was workin' late one night and I neva told 'er 'bout it since. Damn, I'm good at keepin' secrets! His thoughts paused as he looked down at Lucky Chloe with just his eyes and nearly chuckled verbally, but the best he did was widen his horny smile. Awww, just look at my baby girl. I know she's wet as fuck down there. She wants ta get pounded hard like dis chick in dis movie, yo! I just know it. Havin' me give her dis boob massage is just da extra frostin' on da cupcake. I can't wait ta give her my own creamy servin' lata on tanight. Shit! I shouldn't even be talkin'. I'm hard as hell and my boxers are gettin' kinda tight 'cause of the thought of da idea.

Thirty more minutes went by and the pornographic film was reaching its climax. At that moment, Lucky Chloe couldn't keep it quiet anymore and she sang out a beautiful moan while keeping her strict focus on the movie as her legs were trying their best to hold in her pussy juice and keep it from drenching the couch. DéMarckus felt this failed attempt from his side, but never said a word to ruin the moment. She was in her happy place and he wanted her to stay that way until it was their turn to rehearse for a sex tape of their own. Even the feeling of her hand giving him strong rubs on his rock hard dick couldn't get him to make a sound. He just sat there, stayed focused on the movie, and took it in like the strong Vellington he was born to be. The longest five minutes went by during that time and, when it was finally over, Chloe released a huge sigh of relief as she leaned her head back with her arms now by her sides, but her legs were still crossed from her small orgasmic episode. DéMarckus had his green eyes focused on them for five seconds as he was aimlessly stopping the DVD player at the same time.

"Ya a'ight, Chloe-baby?" DéMarckus asked oh-so-sweetly towards his precious otaku princess. "I know it looks like ya gotta go, but I bet dat ain't what it is."

"Nya, you're so clever." Lucky Chloe commented in a sly tone of her cute voice as she looked into his bright green eyes with a passionate glow in her aqua blue eyes, giving him sensual strokes up and down his hard muscles before her. "You're one to talk, though. You were hard as a brick the entire time, all through that movie. What was that? I love it."

"It's an ol' school joint my Dad gave me back when I was thirteen: 'Paradise Sex-tral'. Da title itself got me when I got it and dis is only da second time I've seen it now."

"I can understand why. I guess you were curious about sex at that time, huh?"

"Heh, heh… yeah." The man blushed as he scratched the back of his head with embarrassment. "It was right on time, baby."

"Tee-hee-hee. Cute! Anyway, that movie was super hot. I… kinda want an encore of our own, if ya get my drift. Nyaaaa…" The two leaned in for a wild, tongue-wrestling kiss that went a little out of control as DéMarckus was pushed down onto his back on the couch by Lucky Chloe. Three minutes into that steamy kiss, Garrie had just walked in the door with a smile for five seconds before it turned into an even bigger smile of humor and respect all at once as he closed the door behind him gently and made his way to his own room just a few steps away from behind the fated couch… all without saying a word.

Another three minutes went by for Lucky Chloe and DéMarckus before they finally ended the kiss with the otaku's legs wrapped around the lone Vellington's waist, giving him the wide open opportunity to feel how soaked she actually was right onto his own crotch. His response:

"Holy shit!"

"Yeah, ya feel that, baby?" Chloe asked in a sexy tone of her cute voice with loads of buoyancy. DéMarckus never let down his aroused smirk as he looked as deeply into her bright blue eyes as he could. "Ya wanna taste it? Nya?"

"Hell yeah, Chloe-baby. I know I deserve somethin' mo' fo' confessin' my attempted suicide."

"You were brave telling me that earlier today. Now that I know you won't do it again, I have total faith in ya. You're already happy just being with me, but I can imagine how happier you'll be when you're in as much peace as your parents after we find their murderer."

"Yeah, ya already know, baby girl. Fo' now, tho'… let's make it hot up in dis bitch." Lucky Chloe nodded in agreement with her sexy cute smile never letting down as she was being carried by the strong former football player upstairs to his room for another unforgettable night.

Thirty seconds later…

"Let's put a little more fun in this one, DéMarckus." Lucky Chloe started after she practically pushed her Vellington lover with all her strength with his back up against the now closed door after he locked it. "Remember how Xavier treated me before he left his separate way?" The man nodded. He just couldn't speak… on account of Chloe's cute voice mesmerizing every sense in his body as well as his erection. "Well, I kinda want ya to keep me guessing in the way a Vellington could. I know you said you wouldn't wanna hurt me, but your instincts might let ya do it anyway. Just so ya know, since then, I've been known to be impervious to pain. So, you won't hurt me. Still be gentle, though? Okay?" Another nod from DéMarckus. Hearing this silence from him made her giggle, which made him even harder. "Tee-hee! Awww, you're speechless again. Nya! Show me how much you love me. Before ya do, though… ya know what I wanna see first… nya…" The horny otaku took a few steps backwards and took a seat by the time the back of her legs touched the foot of the king-sized bed. This time, she showed how much she's adopted his mannerisms by sitting in that smooth 'hunched-over' position that's a sign of just chillin', appearing regal towards the horny Vellington. As he saw this, he just had one thing to say:

"It's my Vellington special, Lucky Chlo. Let's see if I can top yours."
