Chapter 245: Oh, you know

After everyone settled down, I switched back to just my Fire Force Pact and continued to suck in energy. I would more than likely need it later, the night had just begun, and I already had more work for later.

[Yeah, such a laborious job, I am sure everyone should feel sorry for you!]

"What was that all about?! Why did you make Aunty mad? The lights were really pretty! Lizy is friends with me! Did you know Kieta is really smart? I think the Grandma's are going to ask you to-, Owie! Grandma! What was that for?!" Keri squeaked after Nixi chopped the top of her head.

"You need to learn to breathe and talk about the things that happen to you! Let the others tell him about their day, and you tell him about yours! You don't need to say things that people don't want to say! Looks like you have been away from your aunty for too long!" Nixi growled and then glared at Jilly, but she just rolled her eyes.

I walked over and scooped Keri off the ground, up into my arm, and then attacked her cheeks and neck with kisses. She started to giggle and squeal as I did, and then Keri hugged me after I was done, and then I gave her a kiss.

"How was your day, my little Chatterbox?" I asked Keri as I started to walk over to the table filled with cooked food that smelled delicious.

Lidy was over there, and I went over to her, giving her a kiss as Keri rattled off about her and everyone else's day. I turned my head to Keri and waited until she had to take a breath of air, and then I kissed her, and the chatterbox was turned off for a moment.

"I'll talk to you later, beautiful, but I want to get something to eat; it's been a couple of days since the last time I had anything," I said as I put Keri down.

She ran back over to Kieta and she was giving me a look with narrowed eyes. I stuck my tongue out at her, and her eyes went big in surprise.

"Here," I heard Lidy say, and I turned back to a nice plate piled with cooked meat.

"Thank you! Ugh, you are the best!" I exclaimed as I took the plate from her hand with one of my but held it off to the side.

I reached out with my other arm and wrapped it around her waist, pulling Lidy into my body. She gave me a sexy smile, putting two hands on my shoulders as I looked into her eyes, but they had a glowing pink ring in each of her pupils.

"You seem excited to see me? Did you really miss me that much?" Lidy asked, still wearing her cute and sexy smile.

"Miss you? It's been two days, Lidy," I said to her, pausing.

"I guess it has only been that long-," Lidy started to say, but I turned with her in my arms, setting my plate down on the table.

I pulled Lidy into a deep kiss, running my hand through her hair. She really had no idea, but this was just one of the things like so many others that I would have to work on.

I broke the kiss and took her face into my hands, staring deep into her glowing pink eyes.

"It has felt like forever since I have got to do that, and I have been missing you a lot! I wanted to ask you if you wanted to become one of my girls, like Nushi?" I asked, but I had already confirmed it in my mind.

To my surprise, nothing had happened, and Lidy smiled warmly at me, but she shook her head no. I was surprised by this because I thought she would have jumped at this, and I was disappointed until she explained.

"No, not yet. I want to see what I look like after first, and then I would like to become yours and let you take care of me. I think we can wait a little bit longer, and it will just make things that much better when we get to them. Now," Lidy explained and then kissed me before continuing, "Eat some food and talk to Mex and Candace. That was a magnificent display you and Jilly put on earlier; it almost made me feel like when we were back where I grew up on Gardania."

Lidy kissed me one more time but then broke away from me but forced my plate back into my hands. Then I got the two fingers back and forth in a, I am watching you gesture between the two of us.

I started to laugh but then grabbed a steak from the plate and took a big bite out of it as I turned around. Even in the dark, it was easy to spot Mex, and I could understand why I was so preeminent in this world with this much pink.

I took my plate and walked over to them and Kissed Hydie, Jessabell, Kimera, and Frieda on the way over. The grandmother's Noels, Fairilese, Perita, and Nixi were over at a table on the other side of the fire with Nushi, Beeno, and Veronica.

Keri chased Kieta around the yard, and Kali, and the Cerberus girls who were transformed chased after them around the yard. Jilly and Lizy were both in human form and standing near the fire.

Seeing them like that warmed my heart, and I was so proud of my girls for how much they had changed in such a short time. Now it was time to do a favor for a man that had helped me so many times in the last group of days.

"Well, looks like you will just keep the surprises coming, but I do have to say that their display was marvelous! So, Demon Lord Zack, What great and amazing feat do you have planned next?" Mex asked as I approached him and Candace.

"Oh, you know," I said with a grin, and then looked at Candace with the same grin and asked, "So, you want to join the team?"
