《SimpleMinded》My Kiss After A Whole Year Of Waiting.
Advertisement
"I love you too." I quickly sit up and see Haven looking at me with a smile. She lets out a little giggle, "You said I love you." A smile crawl on my lips and I kiss her forehead, "Yes I said it and I don't regret it. I love you."
She reaches for my face, "Your face is wet." I clear my throat, "Yeah, it's hot in here so I'm sweating a lot." She shakes her head and laughs, "No you weren't, you were crying." I laugh along with her, "You caught me, I was crying."
She wipes my tears, "It's my turn to wipe your tears and your turn to show me your smile." I smile down at her and her eyes fill with tears, "I'm so happy, I'm glad I can see you again, Niall."
I kiss her forehead once again, "Me too." She slowly sits up and shows me a pain expression, "Let me go get the doctor and everybody else." I walk out of the room and stop the first nurse I see and tell her about Haven waking up. Hana comes up beside me, "Haven's up."
Her eyes widen and she runs off towards the room with everybody else following her. Hana and Haru give her a tight hug, "We're so glad you're okay." Haru says as he looks at Haven with a smile.
I watch as everybody surrounds Haven. She smiles at all of them and then looks at her parents, "Who are they?" Haven parents show her a small smile, "We're your parents." Her mom says as Haven looks at me and I nod my head.
Next thing she does takes all of us by surprise, she starts smiling, "I have parents? You're my parents?" They both nod their heads, "We're so sorry you've been going through all of this." Her dad says, Haven opens her arms and laugh, "I have parents! Mom and Dad!"
They give her a hug and I smile at her. "Hana and Haru are my brother and sister." My eyes widen, "How did you know that Haven?" Haru ask with confusion on his face, "I overheard you and Hana talking. I do have family. Niall, look, I do have family." She starts crying and I show her a small smile, "You have more people by your side."
She wipes her face, "I want to go to the beach." Before I could say anything Luca gets on the bed with Haven, "I'm Luca, you're pretty. No wonder Papa wanted to save you." Haven tilts her head, "Papa?" Luca nods his head and smile, "Papa." He points at me and I walk up to Luca.
I grab him by the ear, "Stop talking for five minutes." He hits my hand, "Okay, let go, it hurts." I let his ear go and he glares at me. "The beach." I look at Haven, "We can go once we get back home. Right now you need to rest."

She shows me a pout, "Stop pouting, we're going to go." She looks away from me and her parents laugh, "We have to go talk to your dad. He's going to help us settle down." They walk out and look back at Haven, "You guys can go back to the US with my dad. You don't have to worry about work for a long time."
Rylee looks at me with wide eyes, "Really?! We can leave now?!" I nod my head and they all run out of the room. I laugh as I hear them cheer, "Get well soon, Haven! We'll see you in the US!"
I sit on the bed with Haven and she looks at me, "I want to go to the beach." Luca picks Bean up and put her in Haven's lap. "We'll go once you heal up fully. Haven, do you want to stay with your family from now on." She quickly shakes her head, "No, I want to stay with you. I don't want to stay with them."
"Visit." I look at her with confusion in my eyes, "Visit? What do you mean visit?" She rubs Bean head, "I can visit them every day. We can do things together during the day, but I want to stay with you at night." I grab her hand and rub the top of it, "Is that what you really want?" She nods her head and I smile at her, "Okay, we can do that."
"Can I go with you to the US?" I look at Luca and rub his head, "Where else are you going to go?" He shrugs his shoulders and I laugh, "I'm going to put you in school when we get back home." He shakes his head, "No, I'm to smart for school."
"Where did William go?" I look at Haven, "He's on his way to prison as we speak." She starts laughing, "Niall said he loves me." Luca laughs and starts clapping, "Papa's in love. Papa's in love. Papa's in love. Papa's in love." Haven claps along with him and I roll my eyes.
"That's enough singing. Haven needs to get her rest if she wants to go to the beach." Haven stops clapping, "We're going to the beach?" I nod my head and laugh, "Yes we are."
We are finally on our way back to the US. "Luca, if you're scared of a plane let me know. I can hold you like a baby if you want." Luca glares at me and I laugh, "I-I'm not scared!" I poke his cheek, "Don't be scared." He hits my hand away and I laugh.
I turn to look at Haven and see her with a painful expression. "Did you take the pain pills?" She nods her head and I sigh, "No you didn't. You're taking them when we get on the jet." She shows me a pout as we get on the jet.

I pour her some water and hand her the pills and pass the glass to her. "I'm going to watch you take them." She puts the water in her mouth and then the pills. "Open your mouth." She opens her mouth and I smile, "That wasn't so bad."
Luca sits down beside Haven, "Is it fun in the US?" Haven nods her head and smile, "Yes, Niall has a game room and an indoor pool." Luca's eyes widen, "Really?! Papa is that true?!" I let out a soft laugh, "Yes it's true."
We are finally back in the US. "Luca get on my back. Many people are here to see Haven and I don't want you getting lost." He jumps on my back, "I'm not going to get lost." I roll my eyes as I take Haven's hand in mine.
Haven looks at me and laughs, "Niall loves me." I let out a soft laugh, "Haven loves me." She jumps up and down, "I do." She looks at Luca, "Luca loves Niall." Luca throws his arms up and laughs, "I do!"
He jumps in Haven's arms and she falters back by surprise. "Luca don't just jump out of nowhere like that. Get back on my back." Haven laughs and Luca pouts as I pull him away from Haven.
We walk outside and see reporters everywhere. "Haven, pick Bean up and Rafiki get on my shoulder." Haven picks Bean up and we start speed walking to the car.
We finally make it to the car, "Luca put your seatbelt on." I look at the reporters and then at Haven. Confusion crawls in her eyes and I smile. I wrap my arm around her shoulders and pull her closer to me. I look down at her and crash my lips to hers.
She kisses me back seconds later and I smile into the kiss. I tickle her sides and she gasps. I take that chance to wrap our tongues together. She still tastes sweet just like the last time we kissed. I pull away and see that she is in a daze. I kiss her forehead and laugh, "We haven't kissed since my 24th birthday."
She looks at me and smiles, "I want to do it again." I give her a quick kiss on the lips, "Me too, but we have to get out of here." We head to the house and I look at Luca and see him asleep.
"I like Luca, don't get rid of him." I let out a soft laugh, "I'm not going to get rid of him. Everybody is staying."
Two hours later we are finally home. I pick Luca up and he slowly opens his eyes, "This place is big!" He jumps out of my arms and runs to the door. I walk up to the steps and unlock the door.
Me and Haven walk in, but Luca runs in with Bean behind him.
"SURPRISE!!" Luca and Haven hide behind me. I turn the lights on and see my mom, my dad, Brit, Glenn, and my team. Rylee runs up to Haven and gives her a tight hug. "We are so glad to see you! How do you feel?!" Haven smiles at Rylee, "I feel better."
Luca runs to Ty and jumps in his arms, "Papa and Haven kissed." My mouth drops as everybody looks at me, "They were kissing while we were in the car at the airport. People with cameras were around the car taking pictures.
I clear my throat, "Um, surprise." Dexter starts laughing, "I knew you would end up kissing her!" I roll my eyes as I walk up to Luca, "Learn how to keep your mouth shut." He covers his mouth and nods his head, "Sorry."
Luca jumps out of Ty's arms and we do our handshake, "How did y'all get in here?" He points at Glenn, "He had a key." Sidney runs towards me, "Uncle Niall, who's he?" She points at Luca as he plays with Rafiki, "That's Luca, he lives with me now."
I put her down, "Go ask him to play." She runs to Luka and they start talking. "We're already outside grilling the food." Haru runs outside with Haven's hand in his and Hana follows them out.
I look at the three siblings with a smile, "Thank you for everything you've done for us." I look at Haven's mom, "I'm sorry, but I've never got your names."
The man holds his hands out, "I'm Gin and this is my wife, Lillian."
"I don't need your thanks. If Haven wasn't in William grasp I wouldn't have done what I did." Gin shows me a smile, "You still kept our daughter safe. Without you and Bradley, I wouldn't be able to see my three kids." He points towards Haven and them.
Haru and Haven are jumping up and down while Hana is rolling her eyes and laughing. "They're already teasing their older sister." I laugh at Lillian comment, "I'm happy that you and your family are back together." Luca comes up to me and pulls on my arm, "Do I get a room to myself?" I nod my head and pick him up, "Yes, aren't you a good swimmer?"
He quickly nods his head, "Yes I am! I'm the best swimmer!" I throw him in the pool and everybody gasp, "Niall, why would you throw him in the pool?!" Luca comes back up gasping for air, "Remember I said I was going to throw you one day."
All of sudden I feel myself getting pushed in the pool. I come back up and see everybody laughing. "Haven! You pushed me?!" She nods her head laugh, "You pushed Luca."
She bends down in front of me and gives me a quick kiss on the lips, "I like kissing you."

Mei is a journalist and activist falsely convicted of political crimes after accusing an official of sexual harassment. She finds herself in chains aboard a ship in the Caribbean, a prison realm set in 1675, in the age of sail. Oversight is corrupt and the guards are violent.
