"Don't cry," he said.
He got up and gave her a hand to stand up. She picked up the blazer and dusted it.
"I'll try," She said
"Let's go," He said, beginning to walk forward
"Ali!" He turned around to Anaya's voice.
She walked up to him and placed a deep kiss on his lips. Tip-toeing as she held on to his shoulders for stability. He pulled her in by the waist, moving his lips a smile forming on his lips.
As she pulled away he smiled at her, almost playfully.
"What?" She said, side-eyeing him.
"When you kiss someone, you have to move your lips- like this," He pulled her back in and moved his lips against hers, parting her lips then moving back.
"Are you making fun of me? Do you know how much courage it took for me to do that?"
"Whatever, don't talk to me." She finished walking away.
"Anaya! Wait," He laughed.
She began to run away looking back until he caught up to her and grabbed her from the back and lifting her up and placing her down as she laughed.
"It was the best kiss I've ever received," He said.
"Are you sure?" She asked
"Yes, I am. The most innocent one too." He said
Their hands naturally found each other as they walked back to the car, he opened the door for her and then got in himself.
"Are we going home?" She asked
"Do you want to?" He looked at her.
"Hmm, not really." She admitted, shyly.
He smiled.
"Then let's go house hunting." He said, putting the car in reverse.
"What? Already?"
"Yeah, Already. I'm not wasting time." He stated.
"Don't you need a real estate agent for this?" She asked.
"Yeah I have one," He said
He pulled out his phone and dialed Romano's number, his personal tech specialist.

"Yes boss?" He answered in a heartbeat.
"I want you to find me top 10 one story houses within a 40 mile radius, I want at least 5 rooms."
"Coming right up boss, I've sent them to your phone."
"Thanks," He said hanging up.
"Five rooms? Why?" She questioned.
"Well I want at least four children." He said
"What are you talking about?" She muttered, her face turning pink as she looked away towards the window.
"What?" He laughed.
He picked her hand up from her lap to hold it, as he drove with the other.
"You don't want four?" He asked, smiling
"Hmm.." She avoided him, looking away feeling her face flame up.
"Okay fine, three." He said.
"Ali!" She whined.
"Stop it," She said.
"What?" He laughed.
"Change the topic," She said, touching her cheeks.
"Why are you so nervous, I'm just talking about kids. What are you thinking of?" He messed with her.
"Ali! I swear I'm going to get out of this moving car if you don't stop."
"And, don't you think four is too much? It's not a factory." She whispered.
Ali laughed out loud.
They drove into a very upscale part of town the atmosphere changed immediately. The roads were new with no bumps, the houses were big and you could tell they were new by the fresh paint. This was a rich neighborhood, no doubt.
"Here's number one." He pulled into a lavish house, it wasn't too big and it wasn't too small from the outside. It was secluded, just like the other houses having a lot of space around it to it's owners.
"I already love it, and I haven't even gone in." She said. Loving the privacy.
Ali punched in the code he was provided for touring purposes, and looked around. The ceilings were very high, and there were big windows all the way up provided maximum lighting through out the day, passing the small foyer they went to the living room. The living room was incredibly spacious there were long windows all around it, providing beautiful lighting. A classy grey drop down lighting was in the middle of the room that looked very classy.

They moved on to the kitchen, and the kitchen was very elegant, much bigger than their current one. The island was very long, and it was overall beautiful. There were stairs, but the only thing upstairs were the rooms. The master bedroom was a apartment in itself, the bathroom as amazingly huge, with two showers, two sinks, and a tub.
The other rooms were also very big, not too big but almost; perfect. Lastly, the backyard. The backyard was so gorgeous Anaya audibly gasped, there was a tinted cover that could be opened and close around the medium pool, and they made the rest of the back porch out beautiful marble.
"I'm in love with this house, even if it's two story. How much is it even?" Anaya asked.
"$950,000," Ali said
"What? That's too much."
"No it's not. Let's put this at the top our list and go visit the others." Ali concluded, as they went back out to the car.
They viewed all nine houses each of them different shaded, various lighting and whatnot. But Anaya's heart was set at the first one, which actually turned out to be the lowest price out of the rest. She loved the isolation of it.
They went inside the last one, and she instantly didn't like it.
"No," Anaya said
"Yeah, no." Ali repeated.
"It's just the-" Ali started.
"Wood." They both said at the same town.
"I don't like brown interiors, grey and white are more-"
"Classy," they said, laughing.
"Let's go," he said.
"Done deal on the first one?" He asked
"Yes," She smiled.
They headed back to the car, getting in. As he dialed Romano.
"Yeah, hey. I'm sending you an address, tell the agent we'll be buying this as one time payment."
"Thanks," He hung up.
"We'll have furnishers set up the whole house for us, It'll take less than a week." He said.
"Won't this cost you too much?" She said
"No, it won't." He smiled, kissing her hand that he was holding.
"Let's go home," He said.
He began to drive back, and in a couple of minutes he could feel Anaya's hand go limp. He looked at her and she was fast asleep, her head against the window tightly holding on to his blazer that she had this whole time.
"I love you so much," he whispered,
He made it through the whole drive alone, and she didn't wake up. She must've gotten tired from going one house to the other. It was a long day, unquestionably the best Sunday he has ever spent.
He parked the car outside of their house, a guard ready to take the car to park it. Ali got off and went to the passengers seat to pick Anaya up in his arms, taking her inside. He opened the door of their bedroom with his foot and he laid her down on the bed, taking away the blazer she was holding, and took off her shoes
He unpinned her hijab and slid it off. He covered her with the duvet, and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Leaving to go take a shower, he hung up his suit and blazer in the dry cleaning rack. He took a quick shower, and then put on only a pair of black sweats.
He left the bathroom, and climbed into bed with her pulling her onto his chest. He wasn't sleepy yet, but he could lay with Anaya like this for the rest of his days.

Bloodlines
Bloodlines is the first major story set in the far larger and immensely connected universe known as Infinitum. A group of renegades and misfits take into the sky in their fancy skyship to fulfill the prophecy they don't care about and defeat the Empire they care even less about. In the process, they learn things (they would rather not) of the fucked up Universe, dead gods, and the future that holds no mercy. Bloodlines draws inspiration from One Piece. But in the bigger picture, Bloodlines is one of many stories set in Cosmere-like universe where plots stretch beyond planets and star systems and stakes are higher than godhood (like in Malazan chronicles). Currently, I am planning to finish the first arc [Bandit Arc], add 10k words interlude with some revelations, then publish a story happening elsewhere. Then I will be back to write the second arc. For now, the Fifth Region has 8 arcs planned. Officially, there are 5 regions. The Fifth Region is not the shortest but is far from the longest regions. - PS. Pay attention to flavor text. Chapters published weekly.
