As I had guessed, Kamal reprimanded us for almost blowing our plan. But it got us closer to the VKs. I saw the four of them sitting together. I sat down beside Carlos giving him a kiss on the cheek and taking his hand. Quinn sat down beside Jay. His sister beside him. Kamal on Carlos's other side. Maddie and Anwar on the ends, and Maise by Evie.
Ben smiled putting his hands on Mal's shoulder. "Tomorrow after the coronation I promise everything will be okay."
"How can you promise that?" Sneered Maddie. "Is it because you'll finally be King, and can threaten beheadment if they don't go with your decree?"
Ben gave her a look, and she put up her hands in defense.
"I'm from Wonderland," she defended. "That's how we do it down there. Well at least that's how we did it. The whole red or white queen thing has kinda made us fall into anarchy."
Everyone gave her look like she was insane which she is. "I have to go," said Ben giving Mal a kiss on the head. "I'll see you guys later."
"Evie I just wanna expl-" began Doug.
"Doug!" Chad cut off giving him a look that promised to make his social life hell.
Maise stood up. "Doug can talk to anyone he wants! An' nothin' ya say can stop 'im." Her accent got thicker the angrier she got. "An' if ya try I'll shoot off somethin' ya don't really need."
I smirked. "What you thinking, Maise? Below the belt?"
"I say we do a lot more than that," Maddie said her Scottish accent arising. That only shows up when she's angry. "I say we make 'im suffer."
"Guys!" Sara interrupted. "You can't do that." Our faces fell. "Because I want to." We all smirked.
"You four are insane." Said Chad.
"No," I replied. "One of us is."
Doug smiled at us gratefully as he sat down across from Evie to talk.
"How long does she think that's gonna last?" Asked Audrey in a bitchy tone. "Mal's just a-"
We never got to hear the end of her sentence because Anwar and Kamal had began playing Bad Reputation (Joan Jett) through Ani's speaker system. I smirked. They did this to drown out them. But Mal could still see Jane being a total bitch and not sticking with people who had been her friends for years, and people who were nice to her when they didn't have to be.
Mal looked through her spell book. "Beware for swear undo Jane's hair."
With a flick of her hand Jane had her old hairstyle back. I felt kind of bad for her, but she deserved it.
"There's a lot more where that came from." She said over her shoulder.
Audrey made some snappy come back but none of us heard it.
"I'M SORRY! CAN YOU REPEAT THAT? I COULDN'T HEAR YOU OUT HERE IN THIS BARREN FIELD OF HOW MANY FUCKS I GIVE!!" yelled Quinn.
We laughed as Sara scolded him for his language.
Welp, I'm bored. I whistled and Carpet appeared in front of me. I smiled stepping on. I held out my hand to Carlos. "Do you trust me?"
He smiled. "Of course I trust you Dia." He took my hand and stepped onto Carpet. With a flourish, we flew off into the sunset.
Carlos and I were flying casually and talking about tomorrow. "So how do you feel about the coronation?" I asked.
He shrugged. "I'm sure it'll go fine. Ben will be a great king."
I nodded. "And who do you think should come from the isle next?"
He looked over at me confusion on his face. "Why would my opinion matter?"
I smiled taking his hand. "Because you've been on the island. You know the ones that would benefit the most from coming to Auradon." I nudged his shoulder. "I mean you did pretty well coming here."
He laughed lightly staring at the pattern on Carpet. "Yeah," he sighed. "I found the most amazing girl, and I got away from my mother. It's a win-win situation."
I smiled sliding myself underneath his arm. "We are a pretty great couple aren't we?"
He looked over at me. "You know this our first official date. And I never formally asked you to be my girlfriend."
I sat up knocking his arm away. "Then hurry up, DeVil, before I find someone else."
He laughed lightly. "Nadia Ranya Ababwa, would you make me the luckiest guy alive and be my girlfriend?"
I smiled laughing lightly. "I would be most delighted, Mr. DeVil."
"Perfect," he said. "Now my darling girlfriend, would you do me the honor of being my date to the coronation?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" I squealed attacking him in a kiss that nearly knocked us off Carpet. Luckily, Carpet caught us, so we were now just laying on it. I kissed him fiercely attacking his lips with my own. I bit his bottom lip pulling him a little closer. He slipped his tongue between my teeth fighting for dominance. We continued to make out like this for a long time. I'm not sure how long we lay on Carpet making out, but when it was over I had laid my head on his chest drawing circles on his chest with my finger.
I'm gonna miss this. I'm gonna miss him. I looked up at him with his bruised and slightly bloody lips. "Carlos?"
"Hmm?" He hummed. I felt the vibrations in his chest.
"I want you to know that no matter what, I love you." I said.
He smiled. "I love you too, Dia, no matter what."
I smiled and sunk back into his chest content with the relationship we had established.
I had just gotten back in from my flight with Carlos. I had taken him back to his room, and we spent a good five or six minutes saying 'goodbye', which meant more making out. It was late at night, but Maddie was up talking to the people on the other side of the looking glass.
"You look a mess," commented Uma.
"Yeah, Diamond, that's not the way a person looks after going on a 'date'," she air quoted date, "with someone as part of the plan." She stepped closer to me. "Are your lips bruised?"
I blushed a dark shade of red. "Look Maddie, I can explain."
"Save it," she said loudly then whispered to me. "For when I have the Isle disconnected."
"Looks like you and dog boy got it on pretty hard." Said Harry smirking.
I shrugged. "He's not that bad of a kisser," I smirked. "For such a softie." I sat down in Maddie's vanity chair. "Are you guys ready for tomorrow?"
"You mean when you guys come through the barrier!" Exclaimed Gil.
"Shut up!" All four of us hissed at the same time.
"Do you want all of Auradon knowing the plan!?" Maddie snapped.
"Or all of the Isle!?" Added Uma.
I sighed. "I honestly don't know how you two work with him."
Uma shrugged. "You get used to it."
"I could never get used to it." I replied rolling my eyes.
"What a surprise neither can Harry." Said Uma causing Maddie and I to laugh.
"But you'll have to," said Maddie slumping to her bed.
Suddenly there was a knock at our door. Maddie and I looked at each other. Then two knocks three knob turns two knocks. We smiled opening the door to reveal the rest of the gang.
"Your lips are bruised," comments Quinn.
I blush and looking away. Anwar squeals from the back of the group. "Oooohh! My little girl got it on! So tell me, was he everything you wished? Or was he as disappointing as a mirage in the Sahara?"
"Ani! We did not get it on!" I protested letting everyone in. But as Ani passed I added. "Between you and me, he was so much more than I ever dreamed of." We both shared a low giggle.
"Get it girl!" He whispered before moving on into the room.
Quinn laid down on my bed tossing a ball up into the air repeatedly as he said. "So what's the next phase? I mean I know I take over while you go MIA, but..."
"I believe we're the next part of the plan." said Harry from the mirror.
Quinn sat up looking at it amazed. "Holy f-"
"Don't you say it!" Warned Sara.
"-eudal system." Quinn finished causing Maddie to snort with laughter and Kamal to smirk.
Kamal stepped forward. "Meet our allies from the other side. Uma, Harry, and Gil meet Quinn and Sara Rider and Maise Dunbar."
Quinn gave a small wave still amazed. "Sup?"
Sara just waved at them smiling.
And Maise yelled out. "May the wind be at yer back!" Whatever that means.
"And always in our sails." Finished Harry. I guess it's a sailing thing? Or maybe it's a Scottish thing? I don't know.
"So you guys are going to the Isle to meet up with these three?" Asked Quinn.
Kamal nodded. "When they heard our plan, they couldn't resist. Besides they have a plan of their own that I can get behind."
Uma smiled. "Let's just say Auradon won't know what hit them."
After everyone had left and Mads had disconnected the Isle, she turned to me. "So, Diamond, you gonna tell me about you and Mr. DeVil or is going to just be a mystery?"
I smiled guiltily biting my bottom lip. "I don't know exactly how it happened. I guess spending time with him, talking with him, I started to develop feelings for him."
She smirked. "Started to?"
I blushed a deeper red. "I mean I did think he was cute when they first arrived."
Mads smiled. "That's my girl." She took my hands in her own. "If you really do have feelings for him let him know before we leave tomorrow."
I smiled and nodded. With that, Maddie went to bed for the night. I waited until I was sure she was asleep before slipping away.
I stood in front of Carlos and Jay's door taking a deep breath before bending down to pick the lock. It took me a few minutes, but I eventually got it open. I slipped in walking silently over to Carlos and Dude. I smiled down at him slipping under the covers beside him. I lightly shook him awake.
"Carlos," I whispered in his ear.
"Hmmm?" He hummed.
"Can we talk?" I asked.
He nodded sitting up. "What's up Dia?" He rubbed the sleep from his eyes. I smiled brushing the hair out of his face affectionately.
"Something's going to happen tomorrow," I began, and he looked at me shocked. "It may not seem good at the time, but..." I paused looking at him with tears forming in my eyes. "Know it doesn't change how I feel about you." The tears began falling down my face, and he wrapped me in a hug. "You're still the love of my life."
He stiffened and fear struck it's way into my heart. "You're the love of mine too." I relaxed. "And if I do something tomorrow know that it doesn't change the words I just said." He sighed pushing my chin up softly to look into my eyes. "I love you, Dia."
"I love you too, Carlos." I replied leaning in for a kiss. When our lips met this time it was just as amazing as all the other times. He leaned back on his bed pulling me down with him. I slid my leg over his body sitting on top of him. Our lips never disconnected. He grabbed my waist as I played with his hair. Together we deepened the kiss feeling nothing but undying love for each other. We made out on his bed for a while longer before slipping back under the covers. I snuggled up next to him as he wrapped his arms around me. We fell asleep in each other's arms.
I was jostled awake by a male voice laughing and poking fun at some predicament. It was Jay. Jay? I panicked for a second before remembering where I fell asleep last night. I felt Carlos's arms around me. I rubbed them not having the heart to wake him up. It was then that I realized why Jay was laughing. Somehow throughout the night we had ended up in a spooning position.
I rolled over in Carlos's arms facing him. I gave him a peck on the lips. "Good morning, sleepyhead."
He mumbled something then shifted. He hummed then slowly opened his eyes. His entire face lit up when he saw me. "Good morning, my lovely girlfriend."
I giggled. "I have to go get ready for coronation, but I'll be back to pick you up." And with that I gave him a lingering kiss (which Jay protested to) and went back to my dorm room.
A/N: I know their relationship is moving fast but that's all a part of my plan. Enjoy their honeymoon phase.
