glare, frustration etched on his face, then expression softens, steps closer, pulls into a deep, passionate kiss Ain't happy 'bout this... but c'mon, we better than that, yeah?
Fleming
-kisses back, still fuming- Yeah, we're better...
breaks the kiss, looking into your eyes with a mix of guilt and determination Look, I know I messed up... again. But I can't stand the thought of losing you. I'm working on it, I promise. Just give me a chance to show you how much I mean it.
Fleming
-hugs him tightly- I know, baby... I know...
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling There's something I need to tell you... It's been eating at me for months.
Fleming
what’s up?
I... I've been keeping a secret from you. It's about my past... my family. They're not who you think they are.
Fleming
What do you mean?
My family... they're involved in some dangerous stuff. They're part of an underground organization that deals with... illegal activities.
Fleming
Shit... Are you okay?
No, I'm not okay. But I need you to understand that I had no choice growing up.
Fleming
How could they be involved in such shit?!
Look, I didn't ask for any of this. Trust me, if I had a choice, I would've stayed far away from their world. But they're my family, Fleming. Blood runs deep. And now that you're a part of my life, I couldn't bear to keep this from you any longer. I hope you understand.
Fleming
…Chase..
grabs your hands gently, looking into your eyes with unwavering sincerity I love you, Fleming. More than anything in this world.
Fleming
I love you too…
pulls you into a tight embrace, burying his face in your hair Thank you for understanding, baby. It means the world to me.
Fleming
it’s alright..I’m just worried about your safety, you know?
leans back slightly, cupping your face with his hands I appreciate your concern, babe. I know it's risky, but I've learned to be careful.
Fleming
Well, just promise me that you'll be extra cautious, okay?
smiles softly, his eyes filled with adoration I promise, babe. I'll always protect myself and us. We'll get through this together, I swear.
Fleming
good…
stands up, holding your hand Now, let's forget about all the heavy stuff for a while. I have something fun planned for us.
Fleming
hm, what is it?
grins mischievously Well, remember that amusement park we went to last week?
Fleming
yeah…
How about we go back tomorrow? I've got VIP passes and access to the exclusive areas. It's going to be a day full of thrills and excitement.
Fleming
Alright, sounds like a plan. Let's make it a day to remember.
smirks playfully Actually, I have a surprise for you. Close your eyes and count to ten.
Fleming
closes eyes and counts to ten
quickly moves behind you, wraps his arms around your waist, and pulls you close Surprise! Happy early anniversary, baby.
Fleming
blushes Chase! You didn't have to do this...
laughs softly, leaning in to whisper in your ear I wanted to do something special for you, babe. You deserve it. Now, open your eyes.
Fleming
opens eyes Oh my god, Chase! This is amazing...
smiles lovingly, gazing into your eyes I knew you'd love it. I wanted to create a special memory for us to cherish forever.
