Hey guys! I was thinking of writing maybe a short story for one of the less important characters, do you guys think I should do it?

If so, then the option is between:
- Elijah and Eleanor
- Jerome and Demeter
Or...
- Luis and Jayla

The most votes wins.

Matéo Santiago's POV.

"Yes! Beat that hoe the fuck up!" I yell at the tv.

Ade giggles.

"Babe, my eardrums!" She says.

I chuckle smile down at her bashfully.

We are watch the 'Jerry Springer show' with each other and she lays contentedly on top of me, with us both wrapped up warm.

I hated it at first, but Ade convinced me to watch it with her and now it's part of our daily routine.

I told her that if she told any of the gang members, I'd kill her.

Well...

Not kill her, because I can't live without her, but she'd be in a lot of trouble with me.

"She totally deserved to get her ass whooped!" I exclaim.

"How can she go after her best friend's dad?!" I ask horrified.

She chuckles at me.

"You're such a girl!" She says.

"Hey!" I respond, my ego feeling bruised.

"What?" She asks innocently.

"Who you calling a girl, woman?!" I ask.

She laughs.

"You, fool!" She responds, poking my chest.

I chuckle at her.

The way I love her, my ego doesn't matter.

And it gets me thinking.

"Baby, remember when we first met?" I ask randomly.
She smiles shyly.

"Yeah..." She says dreamily.

"Amos told you that we were getting married and you completely flipped" I laugh.

"Yeah, I remember" she chuckles, shyly.

"And you pulled a piece on me" I say.

She buries her face into my chest, remembering how she pulled out a gun on hearing my name.

"Ugh, yeah" she says, her voice all muffled up.

"Soo embarrassing!" She sighs.

I laugh again and pull up her face to meet mine.

"That's how I knew, you were my ride or die" I tell her.

Her eyes soften and well up with tears.

"Aww Matty" She says, pecking my lips.

"Are you - crying - - amore?" I tease in between kisses.

"Shut up" she mumbles, as she continues to kiss my lips and face.

"Hm- last time- - you told me - - shut up, you got - - a baby in you!" I growl.

She giggles.

"Stop!" She whines, tangling her fingers in my hair and tugging to make me groan.

I give in with teasing her and just kiss her back.

Soon, the tv is just background noise as we continue to make out, heatedly.

I grab her butt, through her tiny ass shorts, and she gasps, giving me access to the rest of her mouth.

"Matéo..." She whispered.

"Adeline" I respond, and she giggles.

She kisses my chin and then works her way up my jaw.

He lips press against my jawline and I wince.

She pulls away.

"Matéo?" She asks.

"Who did this to you?" She asks, tracing her fingers lightly against my jaw bone.

Shit

The bruise from when Jerome punched me in the face, still hasn't healed yet.

I want to lie and say it happened in training, but I know better.

"Erm... Me and Jerome had a little disagreement, that day I told you he came here to talk to you" I rush out all at once.

She sighs.

"What did you say?" She asks, tiredly.

I chuckle, remembering my little dig.

"It's not funny!" She says, hitting my chest.

"I told him, that you call me daddy now..." I tell her.

She looks at me, shocked.

The room is silent, apart from the tv, where the audience yells 'Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!'

After a moment, her face breaks into a huge smile and she bursts out laughing.

"You said what?!" She asks, laughing and wiping her eyes.

I laugh with her, relieved that she has taken it well.

"Don't do it again, and I want you both to talk about this" she says.

"Yes, ma'am!" I salute.

She traces her fingers in circles on my shoulder.

"We've got a few hours until the kids get back from school..." she says softly.

I shift on the couch.

"Yeah?" I ask nonchalantly.

"Mhm" she responds, looking into my eyes.

"What will we do for them hours?" I ask innocently.

She chuckles and gets up, stretching.

"Come find out" she responds, walking out of the living room and in the direction of the stairs, hips naturally swaying as she walks.

I chuckle softly and turn off the tv.

I should make her sweat a little...

Ah fuck it!

I get up and almost sprint out of the living room and I make my way up the stairs and to our room.

This should be fun....
