Chapter 12: Babe let’s make a run for it. (◕દ◕)
Leo nodded up and down, and then stretched out his hand and gently guided Sarah up from the bench...
Then they both slowly walked back into the Anime Convention Center. To their surprise, a dancing competition was underway in the middle of the main hall. Couples and non-couples alike swayed and danced to the music...
Sarah’s eyes widened like a child in excitement, and she started jumping, holding her face in her hands. "Babe... babe... let’s go... please!" she exclaimed, bouncing up and down continuously.
"Huh, didn’t you say you were tired a while ago?" Leo scratched his head, amused by how quickly she recovered. Sarah then leaned in closer to his chest. "Please, babe... I want to make as many memories as I can with you."
"Sarah, what do you mean by that?" Leo responded, a flicker of fear and confusion in his voice. Sarah laughed nervously. "Babe, I mean, before my movie shoot day!"
Leo sighed softly in relief.
"Babe, if you don’t want to, I won’t push, okay?" she muttered, holding his cheeks. "I know how much you don’t like crowded places, so it’s fine...."
Leo suddenly kissed her forehead, then grabbed her hands and dragged her towards the dancing competition stage, weaving through the crowd of people standing and dancing. He then lifted her onto the podium, in front of thousands of people watching...
"Hey, Mr.!" Leo shouted to the man with the microphone. "Play a song, man! We’d like to participate in the dancing competition as a couple!"
Sarah pinched his clothes cutely, "Babe, are you sure about this? I hope I’m not forcing you to do what you don’t want to do. I mean, we’re watched by so many people, it’s not e..." Leo cut her off with a kiss, right there in front of everyone. The crowd erupted in cheers, most of them hailing them, some pulling out their phones and recording...
Leo then pulled back from Sarah’s blushing face. "I love you, Sarah," he added.
The whole crowd was in an uproar of joy, still recording with their phones, some even taking pictures. "Nami and Luffy! We love you both, the best couple!" they shouted...
