lost in paradise

     “Eh, most of the times it just annoys me.” She smirks lightly, teasing him before biting her lip to keep herself more quiet. Gosh, they truly were acting like absolutely children in this drunken stupor, something was bound to go wrong. She looked back at him, squinting her eyes as she did the math in her brain. “Two kids would be one and two - or a shared one - either way, it still leaves another opening in the top three.” Her eyes light up at the mention of the music festival though. “Oh that was fun... I got in so much trouble with my parents after, but that was absolutely worth it.” A smile is plastered on her face as she looks back at the jellyfish, before moving down to sit on the floor. “Can we just stay here then for a moment while you think of what else we can do to make tonight a contender for top five?”

     Hearing him call out for her as soon as she walked in, Lina stiffled a laugh at the customer’s reaction before walking in Mars’ direction. “So you’re telling me I could’ve gotten in a nap?” Feigning disappointment, though she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t a bit tired as she worked all day and then stayed longer to bake some extra since Mars had messaged her in time. “It better be worth it, or else I’ll turn the girls on you.” She joked as she smiled into the kiss. “Make me drink so this half hour passes faster?”

     There’s a happy smile on her face as she gratefully accepts the mug, taking a deep breath of the chocolatey scent before blowing it a few times and taking a sip. “Well Savannah truly must be magic if she’s been able to deal with us for this long.” Lina grins, bumping her shoulder against his. “Oh no - no matter what, you should definitely always be in the kitchen for cleaning up. It’s just cooking that you shouldn’t do... unless you want to set the house on fire.” She lets out a laugh, eyes focused on her mug as she tries to avoid the topic of her possibly moving back.

     Lina quickly covered her mouth with her other hand as she tried her best to stiffle her laughter at his words, keeping up with his steps as she let him lead the way. “You have such a way with words.” She teased him, biting down on her lip as giggles threatend to spill out. She couldn’t believe how long it had been since they’d last been to the aquarium, finding it almost crazy that they’d never been with either of their daughters. If they didn’t get caught and get banned from ever going again, they’d definitely have to come back during regular hours - the girls would love it. Lina’s eyes widened in excitement as they finally reached the jellyfish. “So pretty.” The words just a little louder than a whisper, before turning her head to Mars. “We’re breaking into the aquarium and this only makes the top ten? I’m scared to even ask what your number one best idea is then...”

     “That sounds like fun! It would also be such a nice thing for those fans.” Ella smiles as she looks around the room, already able to somewhat imagine what it would look like. It’d be a nice treat to their loyal fans and make it a rather cosy and intimate event, rather than something massive. “That’s true. Might as well use the charm of this ‘haunted’ house. A once in a lifetime concert, that sounds nice.” She couldn’t help but be almost in awe of Ollie’s thoughtprocess about this surprise, going along with the flow and being open to it all. “Oh, I meant to ask - do you know what your brother’s favourite cake flavour is? I was I could make him a birthday cake? If you didn’t already have plans about that, of course...”

     “They definitely love their surprises, and then we’re just the suckers who continue to give in.” Lina smiles, knowing fully well neither of them were all that good saying no to their girls if they didn’t actually have a reason not to. She shakes her head as she lets out a laugh. “Nope, I just know that Savannah took one of my bottles from the bakery’s kitchen.” Pulling herself up to sit on top of the counter, Lina makes herself comfortable before already holding out her hands so he can hand her cup over. “Besides, gotta make sure you stay stocked up, otherwise your whole kitchen would be empty.”

     God, this was so stupid. Why were they even doing this? Even in her drunken stupor, Lina knew this was a bad idea and yet here she was, going along with it. Covering her mouth with her hands, it did little to soften her laugh as she continued to follow Mars, occasionally looking back to make sure no one was around. “At least I am whispering, unlike you,” she mutters out, doing her best to keep her voice soft and doing a decent job of it. She’s about to lightly punch his chest, but instead it comes to a rest as he pulls her in for a kiss. There’s a smile to her lips as she kisses him back, her mind not even trying to figure out what their situation was like. Pulling back, her mind finally snaps back as she goes through with her light punch afterall. “Only for the jellyfish, and if you can learn to whisper.”
