《Mi Reina》Chapter Forty - Villa
Advertisement
No way. No, he didn't. There's no way in hell that this is real.
I thought that I would know where Rico was taking us at the end of the flight but 'Rico the butt-head' had told the pilot to not say that one line and the whole time I was annoyed at him. So here I was, gazing outside the window while trying to figure out where we were during the car ride.
Since a driver had come to pick us up, there wasn't a car seat in the car so Rico and I decided to to place Nico between us in the backseat, just to be safe while a bodyguard sat in the passenger seat next to Diego, our driver.
My guess took me by surprise. This is had to have been...Majorca. It had to. I've been wanting to visit this island ever since I moved to Spain. At the time, I was new to the place and once saw it on a brochure; the beautiful beaches, the stunning beach houses near them. I loved everything about this place.
I'm so used to the pictures on my vision board that I'm so sure that the building in front of me was in the Cultured Capital City of Palma de Mallorca.
The splendid stained-glass windows including several rose windows illuminate the sanctuary with an ethereal glow, making it look as though it was made of gold. The gigantic baldachin on the roof is shaped like a crown of thorns. I've heard that from the terrace on the south side of the cathedral, one can enjoy a magnificent view of the bay.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
I turned to Rico who had already been looking at me with an awaiting expression.
"You brought us to Majorca?" I asked, wanting to hear him say it.

"I did." He confirmed. "Do you like your surprise?"
"Like it? I freaking love it, Rico!" I exclaimed, leaning over Nico to give him a hug. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I gave him a small peck on his cheek due to the fact that I didn't exactly want to french kiss him in front of Diego the Driver, Bill the Bodyguard and the four year old between us.
He returned it and before he could make contact with my lips, I pulled away. He shot a playful glare towards me to which I responded with an innocent smile.
"And what about me?" Nico asked, looking up at me with pleading eyes.
I kissed him too and just as I was about move back, he wrapped his tiny arms around the back of my neck to prevent me from moving any further. He kissed my cheek and stated, "I love you."
My heart felt all fuzzy at his sentence. I loved him too, more than he could ever imagine so I said it back to him and the face that he made after that was the cutest thing that one could possibly experience in their entire lifetime.
"We're here." Diego announced, as the car came to a halt. Being excited to see more of the island that I've always wanted to visit, I peeked out of the window and literally felt my jaw drop open at the sight of the stunning Mediterranean beach house in front of me.
"Let's go!" Nico shouted, clearly excited.
Getting out of the black SUV, we took out our luggage from the trunk of the car while I stared at the house in front of me. The beach has always been my peaceful haven; a place where I could feel my worries drift away.

As a child and even a teenager, I used to love spending time at the beach with my family. We would build sand castles together, go sea shell hunting and my favorite of all was making sand angels with my brother, Damon.
Seeing the beach house in front of me was like a dream which blurred the line between reality and fantasy. I never expected to be living in one like this; a coastal modern villa with a simple but elegant and sophisticated design.
"Come on, Xia." Rico said, stretching his hand out for me to hold, which I gladly did. He entwined his fingers around mine causing a fluttery feeling in my stomach.
Bill the bodyguard stood outside the entrance of the house while Diego the driver remained seated in the car. Okay, then.
The three of us walked on the long path of gravel and entered the house, which again, took me by surprise. This has everything that I ever wanted in a beach house.
It has a large open living area which is clad in a beautiful celery top pine timber on the walls and ceiling, making it seem cozy and warm. Nic and I roamed all around the place, captured by the serenity of this beautiful location while Rico walked behind us.
I stood in the balcony and imagined myself sitting on the chairs in the balcony, enjoying the view of the blue sky, the white sand, watching dolphins frolic in the sea and shorebirds play tag with the aqua blue waves. The distinct but familiar sea air filled my senses as I took a deep breath.
Overall, the villa was an elegantly great design with a touch modernistic simplicity to it. The beach, on the other hand, looked isolated but gorgeous at the same time; the golden-yellow sand shone under the fierce, hot and yellow sun, making them look like sapphires.
"Do you like the house?" Rico asked, while I showed Nico the dolphins in the sea by pointing at them to which he clapped in excitement.
"Yeah, I love it, actually." I said honestly. "The view is beautiful."
"It is, isn't it?" He replied, snaking his arms around my waist and it was only then when I realized what he had actually meant.
I leaned my head behind, resting it on Rico's shoulder. "Nico is here."
"Yes, and?" He questioned, placing his stubbly jaw on my bare shoulder due to the fact that I was wearing a spaghetti tank top now. And as soon as he did, I felt a chill run down my spine.
This man is getting on my nerves. He's been doing those tiny little things that make me feel all tingly in the last few days and if I'm being honest, it irks me a little.
Says the person who wanted to take things slow.
"I wanna go to the beach!" Nico shouted, jumping up and down.
Oh, boy! This boy so full of energy and then there's me, still jet lagged even though I had slept the entire flight.

A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...
