~Elara's POV
I laughed, splashing water at Darlon. "You know, Janae should have Beta David to herself," I teased, nudging him with my elbow.
Darlon chuckled, brushing his wet hair out of his eyes. "Oh, really? You're trying to set them up?"
"I mean… why not?" I shrugged, grinning. "They seem cute together."
Janae and David exchanged a glance, and I swear, you could see the heat rising. Janae bit her lip, trying to hide a smile, while David's cheeks went just slightly pink.
Then… I blinked, and my heart stopped.
They moved closer, tentatively at first, then… full-on. Their lips met, soft at first, and then… wow. Passionate, messy, like they had been waiting for that moment forever. I gasped quietly, and Darlon leaned closer to me, laughing into my ear.
"Oh my Goodness!" I squealed, splashing him lightly, but he grabbed my hands. "You are enjoying this way too much," he teased, his voice low.
"I can't help it!" I whispered back, laughing. "It's so… cute!"
