Author's Pov; In the Car
As they sat in the car, Kobe handed Sky his gun.
"S-sorry, I'm n-not a k-killer," she looked at him in disbelief.
"Sky, please take it... For me?"
She sighed, "Fine."
"Good girl," he patted her head as she was shocked at his remark.

Next Day
Sky was playing with Milo in her bedroom when Kobe came in, holding a bouquet with red roses.
He walked over to her, giving her the flowers as she took them confused.
He cleared his throat, "I don't want these."
He tried to sound cold.
She looked up at him, "Why on earth would you get me flowers I don't want?"
"Well, um.. They were on sale!"
-He lied.
"Well, uh.. Thanks."

While Sky was out, grocery shopping, the boys decided to have dinner at Kobe's house.
"Hey, Kobe! Why are you looking at your phone so intensely?" Jayden asked.
However, Kobe didn't listen, having his focus on the screen in front of him. All of a sudden, Derek grabbed the phone away from him and his eyes widen when he saw what was on it.
"Hey! Give me my phone! Right the f now!" Kobe stood up, sticking his hand out.
The boys held him back as Derek started to read what was on the screen..
"How to make a girl like you? How to make her feel safe around you? What can I buy for a girl?" Derek chuckled making the other boys laughed loudly.
"DEREK!" Kobe shouted.
"Yo, Kobe's in love," Ballo laughed.
Derek looked back at the screen, "What perfume to use when you wanna seduce the girl?"
"Really, Kobe?" Corey laughed.
"OKAY, EVERYONE OUT!" Kobe shouted, freeing himself from the boys grip.
Everyone stopped their laughter before walking out of the room. Derek sighed, handing Kobe his phone..
"I think you should just tell her," he patted his shoulder before he left.
As the members left, Kobe thought about what Derek told him.
Just tell her.. It echoed through his head.

Sky walked in the house, placing the bags on the floor before welcoming Milo, giving him kisses all over.
"Hey, Milo," she lifted him in her arms.
Kobe glared at the dog, "She's mine. You're nothing but a fur with four legs."
-He whispered.
"What did you say?" Sky looked at him.
"I- I didn't say anything!"
Sky chuckled before sitting next to Kobe.
"Sky?"
"Hm?"
"I 'accidently' reserved two seats at a fancy restaurant and I can't-"
"I'd love to go with you!" she smiled at him.
She rested Milo on the couch, standing up to do something that made Kobe's whole body paralyzed. She hugged him. Kobe melted in her touch, feeling warm and safe.
As she tried to pull away from the hug, he tightened his grip around her.
"Can I hug you a little longer?" he asked nervously.
She nodded as he smiled, pulling her in back for the hug. Then he looked at Milo and stuck his tongue out as Milo huffed.
....
"She's mine! So, back off!"

Kobe sat down in the living room waiting for Sky to get ready. After he hears a door being opened, he widen his eyes as she came out.
(dress)
(makeup)
(heels)
"Don't just sit there... How do I look?" she asked.
Kobe just sat there, struggling on what to say to her.
She's so prettyyyy!
"Hello? Earth to Kobe?" she waved her hands in front his face.
Kobe flinched, snapping out of his thoughts as he clears his throat.
"Sky, you look-"
Before he could finish, Milo started barking, wanting Sky's attention. She giggled before kissing his head.
"You little! Sky, let's go!" he took her hand.
"Wait, let me say bye to M-"
He gave her a death glare as she looked down.
"Good girl."

(restaurant)
"This place is.. Wow!" her eyes looked around the restaurant in awe.
Kobe looked down at her and smiled, he loved to see her happy and he'll do whatever it takes to do so.
They both found their seats and settled in as the waiter handed them the menus. When the waiter hands Sky hers, he looked at her in a rather peculiar way.
Kobe noticed and glared at the man, "You can leave now."
He spoke in a cold tone, Sky was too busy to notice since she was focusing on the menu.
"$180.00 for a dish?! Kobe.. we should go eat somewhere else," she looked at him.
Kobe let out a little laugh at her reaction.

After ordering their food, the waiter brought it to them as Kobe kept his eyes on the waiter. Sky sat up straight, causing her purse to fall on the floor.
The waiter picked it up and left a sticky note with a message along the way. She read it; it was his phone number and three words.. sex?
Kobe caught a glimpse of the note and stood up with full rage in his eyes. She also stood up to stop him from killing the man.
"I got this," she whispered.
Kobe never took orders from anyone, but somehow, Sky made him give in easily. She smirked before making her way over to the waiter.
"You know what, Jack-ass? The world id full of guys like you. Sarcastic assholes who thinks they'll get every girl in their bed. You're just one of those pretentious bastards feeding off their egos," she said to him making Kobe widen his eyes.
"Tell that little bitch in your pants to find you another place to work at , because I'll make sure that you won't be able to harass any other women in here. Consider yourself.. unemployed!" she yelled at him.
Everyone in the area started to laugh loudly, forcing him to leave the room as some clapped at her remarks.
She turned back to Kobe as he smirked.
"Badass! I didn't know you had a side like this," he told her.
She chuckled, "Thanks Kobe.. Thanks for trusting me."
"Trust me, if it wasn't for you, I would've killed him right here."
"I know," she looked at him fondly.
"Stop that!" he suddenly blurted out.
"Stop what?"
"Stop it with that look.. That look makes me wanna pull you close and never let go," he said.
"Kobe-"
Kobe sat her down and began his speech, "Ever since you took care of me that night, I've had feelings for you since. Like I wanted to protect you. I just want you by my side, at all times. I just wanna give you my world.."
"Is that why we're here right now? Is it why you gave me Milo? Why you saved me? That's why you gave me flowers and say you didn't want them?... And why you wanted me to forget about Mark?"
He nods, 'I just want you to be happy, because it looks good on you."
"W-wow! Am I being completed by the King himself?" she giggled.
He came closer to me as he spoke in a serious, yet hopeful way...
....
"No, the King is in front of this girl.. Asking her to be his Queen."
