Aimar's POV
The cabin wasn't the largest, but it was bigger than anything I was used to, including the rather spacious dorm room I previously lived in. We arrived late in the evening, around 8 o'clock. It was a regular cabin, made from rows of wood stacked on top of each other. The rays emitted from the setting sun, giving a honey brown glow to the structure. Two windows were on the front facing wall, a door in the center of the two. A foundation extended out along with ceiling to provide cover from the snow. Fencing went around the edge of the patio. At the corners, pillars extended to the ceiling, carvings on them to give a spiral effect. Three steps led down from the porch to a stone path, which was what we were currently on. Serena led the group with Dawn following suit. Ash and I trailed behind, both holding luggage in each hand.
"Is this what it's like to be a boyfriend?" Ash groaned.
"I'd shrug my shoulders if I could." I replied, and proceeded to let out the most regrettable sound I will ever let leave my mouth. I grunted. Ash overheard, and cocked his head to the side, smirking.
"Was that a grunt I heard?" He snickered.
"No!" I shot back, almost tripping.
"You're such a bad liar!" He laughed, and then spoke to me as if I was some sort of infant. "Awhh, are these bags too heavy for little ol' Aimar?"
"No! It's just that.. My legs kinda hurt." I admitted, taking a blow to my ego.
"That's why you don't skip leg day," Ash chuckled, picking up his pace. "All bark and no bite."
"I swear to god Ash when I let go of this luggage I'm going to-"
"Going to what? Grunt some more?" Ash laughed, running past me. I huffed, trudging along the path.
"What took you so long?" asked Dawn as I finally reached the patio. I looked over at Ash, who was hiding a smile. "Oh, you know, just fitting in some last minute curls." I said, pulling the luggage up in my right hand and then bringing it down, repeating the motion with my left. "Everyday is Arms Day."
Dawn rolled her eyes. "Whatever, let's just get inside."
The cabin was two stories tall. The living room and kitchen were separated by a wooden wall and door. Upon entering, there's a flatscreen TV to the right, a fireplace underneath and a long couch across from it. The door to the kitchen was straight ahead, and to the left was a pool table along with a staircase leading to the top floor.
"So, who's sharing rooms?" Serena asked. Everyone's heads piped up as we have each other knowing looks.
"Aimar, you always have loose change. Heads says Serena and I get the separate rooms." Ash suggested. I shrugged and looked at Dawn, pulling a quarter out of my pocket. "Sure." I replied. I put the coin on my index finger and thumb, and performed the motion needed to flip the coin. The familiar sound of a coin flip filled my ears as the coin whizzed into the air. I caught it once it came back down and smirked, rubbing my thumb against the face of the quarter. The texture felt smooth; it had to be heads.
"What did you call again?" I asked Ash, looking up at him. As soon as he made eye contact, I gave the quarter a quick flip. Dawn seemed to notice, eyeing me carefully. "Heads." He replied. I placed the quarter in my palm to reveal the quarter on the side known as tails.
I snickered. "I'll leave another housewarming gift under the door." I chuckled as I left upstairs, heading to one of the three rooms. Dawn followed, taking the room across mine. I set my luggage down as I entered the bedroom. It was nothing special; a king sized bed, a few paintings on the wall, a cabinet, and a closet. I sighed, "Unpacking's always the most boring part of the vacation." I thought to myself, looking to my right. I smiled as I saw the rather large mirror that took up a fourth of the wall. "But a quick selfie doesn't hurt; my fans must be suffering from selfie deprivation."
Ash's POV
"Woah." I shuddered, a tingly feeling entering my body. Serena gave me a worried expression. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing," I replied, taking a seat next to her on the bed. "I think Aimar was just talking to himself again."
Serena let out a laugh, giving me a small kiss on the cheek. "You two are so childish," She giggled. "It's like you guys were raised together."
"Well, once you live with him for half a year, you kinda adapt to his personality. It's like living with a caged animal that won't stop talking about himself." I laughed. My phone vibrated from my pocket, indicating that I've received a text. I pulled out my phone and pressed the home button; it was Aimar.
'If the lion had a six pack with arms the size of whales, then yeah, you're pretty much spot on.'
'Are you listening in on our conversation?'
'You mean like eavesdropping? Oh no, who'd dare disrespect such privacy.'
"Umm Ash, are you okay?" Serena asked, noticing the sudden silence. "Yeah, one second." I quickly replied.
'Then how'd you know I was talking about you?'
'I didn't until now, what were you saying about me? Better have been nothing but goodness.'
I turned my phone off in annoyance; I was never going to understand him.
"What happened?" asked Serena, her blue eyes starring into mine. Wow, I thought, her eyes could put an entire army on their knees. They were a beautiful sapphire color, surely outshining even the brightest of jewels.
"Ash?" Serena asked again, this time looking rather puzzled. I blinked out of my trance, and scratched my cheek as I realized what had happened.
"Sorry about that." I apologized, sweat dropping. "I literally got lost in your eyes."
Serena's cheeks went a light pink, something that I now knew was a blush. "R-Really? They're just like any other set of eyes.." She quietly spoke, looking downwards. I put my hand on her chin and gently brought her face back up, leveling it with mine.
"No," I started, "They're not. Your eyes; they're magnificent. They're the only set of eyes that make my knees go weak every time I stare into them. The only set of eyes that can cure me from any bad day. They give me strength." I put my hand on top of hers, feeling her warmth. "The only thing that makes me happier than being lost in your eyes is the person who owns them."
Serena blushed a deep red, unable to speak. She wiped a tear from her eye. "That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me." She smiled, leaning in and kissing me. I kissed back, sparks flying as I felt the familiar warmth pulse inside my heart.
This is it, I thought to myself. She's the one I want, she completes me. Without her, I don't know what I'd do with myself. She gives me happiness. And no one's going to ruin that.
Not the longest chapter, I'm aware of that! But I've been busy irl, plus I'm working on a new project I'm planning to release soon, probably in a week or so, so look forward to that! Ganz, out! *drops mic*
