?[I belong to you]? (English)

Chapter 36

"Well... A few days ago my friend was attacked by some guys from your part of town on her way back.... From a place. I was wondering if you could help me find the culprits"
The wolf has a very sad yet serious expression on her face

"oh I'm so sorry... Well my parents are entrepreneurs but they have a lot of contacts, I'm sure they'll be able to do something. The tricky part is convincing them without going into details"
Zoe takes on a thoughtful expression, in her mind she is already planning a way to help Destiny

"S... So you'll help me?"
The wolf asks a little hesitantly

"sure, why wouldn't I?"
Zoe asks with a smile

"no... Nothing, that's i thought you didn't like me very much"
Says Destiny lowering her gaze

"yeah well, actually that time I was just trying to stand up to you..."
Admits Zoe lowering her gaze

"really?"

"yeah, I didn't really mean what I was saying"

"oh well, actually neither did I"
The two girls look into each other's eyes for a moment and then look away

"well then now I can tell you why I came here"
Zoe brings a hand over her heart and takes a big breath gathering all the courage in her body

"would you like to go out with me?"
Zoe says confidently, looking the wolf straight in the eyes

"Oh..."
Destiny tries to say something but the words break in her throat, she was really surprised by Zoe's statement, it's certainly the last thing she would have expected, in fact she didn't expect it at all.

All the events that have happened since she met Jennifer are projected in front of her eyes one after the other and she realizes that in the end there isn't even one positive, now even that kiss has become a painful memory.
She holds back the tears that threaten to come out at any moment, she has thought about it many times, many times she has thought about their relationship. After thinking about it for a long time she didn't find a single reason why she shouldn't accept, of course the chances of meeting Jennifer would multiply exponentially, but maybe this is her chance to be really happy, after all the queen made it clear to her that there will never be anything between them.

"Yeah... I'd love to"
Destiny says smiling

"Oh... Really? I mean you're not making fun of me? I'm not... I'm not dreaming, did you really say yes?"
Zoe asked incredulously, even though she was hoping for it, she didn't really expect a positive answer

"You heard me right ahah"
Destiny replies slightly amused by Zoe's genuine reaction

"but this is awesome!!!... Cof cof... I mean I'm glad you agreed"
Zoe blushes so much that she can't tell if she's still a person or if she's turned into a tomato, Destiny bursts into laughter and starts to cry, Zoe's pride is offended and she slaps her but this only makes the wolf laugh even more and in a while she loses her breath.

"Are you done?"

"ahahah yes... Wait, let me... Let me catch my breath ahah"

"I have no intention of dating a corpse, so make sure you don't die on me"

"phew, ok I'm fine now"

"thank goodness"

"soooo, why the sudden change of heart?"
Destiny asks playfully as she casually approaches Zoe

"well... Honestly it was weird at first. I mean I'm straight I'm sure, I've never fallen in love with a girl.... I don't know why I have feelings for you though"

"mmh... It must be the bad girl charm"

"I thought the same thing ahah"

"see? We already have chemistry"

"apparently... Jennifer told me you're not bad though"

Destiny freezes, in what sense Jennifer told her? It's not like she told her what happened between them, a thousand questions peep in her mind

"H... How does she know?"
She tries to ask without making the other suspicious

"she said she had this impression when you talked on stage at the theatre"

"Ohh for that, got it"
Her soul calms down knowing Jennifer didn't say anything to Zoe

"And you told Jennifer?"

"yes of course I told her she's my best friend"

"A... And how did she take it?"
Destiny asks nervously

"much better than I could have imagined. She said if this is what I want then she'll support me"
Zoe replies smiling

"So she didn't try to change her mind"

"then it's really over"

"why was I still hoping?"

"what exactly was I expecting?"
So many thoughts occupy Destiny's mind, with words she gave the illusion of being able to forget her, but with the heart it's not that simple, the heart can't be lied to. This, however, was yet another confirmation that there is no place for her in Jennifer's life or heart, and now there is no place for the queen in hers either.

"Does this mean I can call you little princess?"
Destiny asks the girl next to her with a mocking smile

"We'll see, I'll think about it"
Zoe answers making her understand that she can do it

"listen I found your profile on Instagram and I'm going to follow you.... Obviously. But I was wondering..."
Zoe lowers her eyes embarrassed

"give me your phone"
Destiny affirms offering her hand, the other leaves her the device

"here you go little princess"
The wolf returns her phone with a smile, the other takes it back and looks at what she did

~ Wolf 🐺♥️

An immense smile breaks out on Zoe's face, shining like the sun in the sky, Destiny seeing her reaction looks at her sweetly and smiles in turn. The wolf's phone rings

"It's me, can I borrow it for a second?"
Zoe asks, Destiny lets her have her phone

~ Little Princess 👑♥️

Zoe hands the phone back to the other who looks at it with a smile

"Ugh"
Zoe snorts looking at the time

"what happened?"

"I have to go"

"got it, see you then?"

"sure"

"are you really sure you want to infect yourself with a "poor loser"? As a certain person said a while back. You're still in time"
Destiny asks jokingly, making fun of what Zoe had called her the last time they saw each other

"Sure"
Zoe states firmly

"okay, at your own risk little princess"
Destiny is about to walk away but Zoe stops her and does something that sends Destiny's mind totally into turmoil

"See you later little wolf"
Zoe affirms leaving her a light kiss on her cheek

"Ah... Yeah, I'll... see you"
Says Destiny as she blushes.
