Chaos Theory | Michael Kinsella x Reader
Chapter Twelve: Just Let Me Adore You
Masterlist ° Chapter List
Tumblr media
Pairing: Michael Kinsella x Reader (she/her)
Summary: Michael takes you someplace special for your first date, and you have the best night of your life.
Warnings: Fluff. Like seriously, this is fluffy as fuck. 9k words of pure fluff.
Word Count: 9.1k (I am so sorry this got a bit out of hand)
A/n: You have a bit of suggestive language in here, but nothing explicit. That’s reserved for the next chapter, which will be a pure Smut update. I thought I’d keep the goods to myself for a little while longer and give you a break before the Angst Train drives into the Michael Kinsella station…
Tumblr media
You have been to a few dates in the past. Most of them ended in a dirty bar or a restaurant, but you at least knew what you were signing yourself up for.
When Michael texted you while you were at work, telling you he would be waiting at your front door at nine in the evening exactly, you of course texted back and asked where he would be taking you, but he didn’t react to that. 
So you text him again, ‘Just tell me so I know what to wear :(‘
‘Wear something u feel comfortable in xx,’ is all he replies. 
Something comfortable is a broad range of clothes and it doesn’t help your confusion at all. No matter how many times you keep pressing him, he won’t tell you where he is taking you, and that makes you uneasy. 
He told you he would use the time he has left today to get his records straight and make an appointment with the solicitor that is helping him get visitation rights for Anna.
The copy of the contract Ava whipped up for him has been in his hands like precious cargo ever since you left the office building. He insisted to walk to his house from the café, which isn’t that long of a walk compared to your apartment, and you only hesitantly agreed to let him back there after everything he told you.
He insisted that he needed to do this because he has to somehow learn how to navigate his life on his own again after staying with you for a few days. Things are different now, he told you, and you had to agree because he has a new job now and you haven’t been together long enough to move in together, so you both need to coordinate things on your own.
Once he knows what his chances of seeing Anna again are, he has to take the necessary steps to assure the court of granting him those rights. Another thing you agree with. You support him fully, but the thought of his family somehow luring him back in and then you’ll lose him – it’s not the crime you’re worried about, it’s losing him to jail or a gun or any other weapon that might kill and take him away from you – keeps occupying your mind.
A stable home, a job, and a good track record do wonders when it comes to cases that involve children. He needs that. The meeting with Ava gave him a boost you didn’t expect, but he seemed lighter and a lot more motivated when you kissed him goodbye. And he seems stable enough on his own, no longer angry or sad, which is also something you never thought you’d say.
It might be the adrenaline, but you like to believe he is on a good path and he cherishes that enough to see things a lot more positively this time around.
He told you he loved you. It still hasn’t fully settled in, but you said it back because it’s true; you love him. It’s a surreal scene in your head and you have been floating ever since you clocked in. 
There are only a few more hurdles in the way. For one, it’s your past. For two, Michael’s family. And three, there is still a chance a judge won’t rule in Michael's favor, and that might actually break him. You hope that the meeting with his solicitor goes well, at least, and he gets to have a chance at getting to know his little girl again. You want nothing more for him.
He was right when he asked if the reason you understand his situation so well was because of your sister. You’re not a mother, but you’ve felt like one many times in the past and it’s a kind of love that never dies. 
You should tell him the truth, you think. About everything, not just your sister but the rest of your family as well. He needs to know who you are and what baggage you’re carrying. It’s baggage that could affect your relationship once it takes a turn for the worse. You want to be honest, but where would you even begin to explain the shit show your life was before you moved to Ireland? 
You can see the hope clearer now. You have someone by your side who is willing to do anything for you if you as much as asked him, he said so himself, without knowing the full story, and that means you can trust him. You know you can. But you don’t know if you can trust yourself. 
You’re always worried for those you love, and you’re always on the lookout. It’s not like your secrets could end in a war; you’re carrying a dark past that might come to haunt you one day, but that would be entirely on you. You can’t drag Michael into that, no matter how much you want to because once you get hurt, he won’t be able to live with himself.
He might start worrying too much, trying to fix your situation, but there is nothing that can be fixed. You have to sneak around with your own sister to even know she’s alive, and it has always been this way, at least ever since you moved away, and you would have to continue doing so before–
You shake the dark thoughts off. You were so happy a few seconds ago, thinking about Michael and your future and your feelings for him, and the thoughts about your family didn’t hesitate to overshadow the little light he lit in your heart. But you won’t allow them to do that. You love Maya, you love her more than life itself, and you’re going to do anything in your power to keep her safe once it comes down to it, but things are okay right now. You can look at it with a clear head and make a wise decision instead of a rushed one, maybe even make a plan and find another way than the ones you’ve mapped out before.
You need to take what little peace you have now and use it for good instead of being a reckless idiot and letting the memories of your past that the last few weeks have triggered in you affect the way you live your life.
And maybe then you can talk to Michael about everything and take the helping hand he has offered you.
Looking back at Michael’s ominous text about your equally as mysterious date, you frown. You considered a few different possibilities. He could be taking you to a less fancy dinner, or he could be taking you to the park, which would explain why your clothes have to be comfortable, but you’re not sure, and that irks you. 
You ask him again, but all he sends back is a winky emoji. Up until this point, you didn’t even know he was capable of using emojis. He always seems so confused with electronic devices of any kind, it’s endearing. But he’s just a normal human being who has been away for a long time and now he’s experiencing the world again in a brand new light and that can be fucking confusing. 
He’s a father, but he lost eight years with his daughter and now he’s deemed a danger by many, especially the woman taking care of his daughter, and he’s not even sure if she wants to see him, and that is even more confusing for him because he has never learned how to deal with all of these emotions.
Michael always had to function for everyone else around him. He never had a chance to discover who he is and what he wants, even though he had what he wanted for a while, but that was taken from him again and now he has to learn how to live with the guilt and with himself. It’s hard. You get it.
You’ve been there, in a way. Your situations are different, but you feel a deeper understanding because you relate to his pain, and that’s what makes you love him so much more. He’s trying in more ways than one, and that should be acknowledged. He should have someone to support him, even if it can’t be his own family. 
He’s not a servant, he’s a human being; he deserves to be treated accordingly. 
“Thanks for nothing,” you grumble to yourself, still not close to deciphering what he is planning to do with you.
Part of you is hoping it will end in bed at the end of the night because you’re weirdly horny – checking your period tracker, you notice that you’re ovulating, and it makes sense that you suddenly want to jump his bones while he’s not even near, which will also make for an interesting night, but you push that thought away to focus on the mystery at hand.
What is he planning for your date? 
Michael can be such a tease if he wants to be. 
Soon enough, after getting home and taking a long shower for your aching muscles, you find yourself panicking in front of your closet like a teenager. 
You would consider yourself a romantic; you love rom-coms and romance movies, and you love going on dates as long as they’re meaningful. Atop the broken heart you carry inside, there’s a protective wrap that has been built up on fiction and romanticizing your life. It’s the only way you survived as a child and is surviving now, but living so much in your head prevents you from seeing reality clearly, and that tends to hurt you. You hurt yourself by ignoring the truth, as you did with Maya, and then things turn to shit. Michael is your little beacon of hope. He’s your lucky charm.
You haven’t finished a book or a story because you’re still hung up on the past and it seems like too much of a responsibility. Or maybe you don’t feel capable enough.
You never had support. It wasn’t a lie when you said your parents weren’t happy with your career choice and that’s why you left, but it isn’t the full truth, and the real reason why you left runs deeper. You thought you could start writing once you’re far away from that hellhole, but everything you have started since then landed in the trash because you get insecure, and then you realize that what you have romanticized isn’t true and you don’t ever go back to it.
Maybe it is time to change that now. Your eyes flick to your laptop. The Duke and his promised badass Princess of a promised wife are waiting for you to stretch your fingers and start typing, but once again the claws around your heart pull you back. You can’t. You shouldn’t.
But maybe it’s time that you do, anyway. 
You turn back to your outfit for the night, which you haven’t decided on yet and it’s already half past eight. 
Only one date in your entire life has been thoroughly thought-out, and the guy dumped you after that. 
Frustrated and out of your mind, you dial Sarah’s number and hope she has some smart advice for you since she is the one out of you two who is addicted to going on dates every chance she gets. 
After a few rings, she picks up. “Hello!” she cheerily answers. “What is my favorite sunshine up to? Couldn’t go a day without me?”
You plop down on your bed. “I need your help,” you say. 
“With what?”
“Picking an outfit for a date.”
There is a short pause before she sighs. “So Mister Mobster asked ya out?” she says. “Is it like to celebrate his ass gettin’ hired or somethin’? Because if it’s bout tha’, I still haven’t been able to fully accept your text message.”
“I’m sorry I did it over text, Sarah, but you weren’t working today and I didn’t have the time to call. And it’s not just a celebratory date, I… we… okay, promise you won’t hate me after this?”
“Depends on what yer about to tell me.”
“He told me he loved me,” you admit. 
“Oh for fuck’s sake!” She takes another deep, dramatic breath. “I am not nearly drunk enough for this.”
“You said you’d accept him!” Your voice changes pitch. “You said you’d try and I want you to try. For me. Because… because once you meet him—”
“What, I’m gonna like him?” she cuts you off. “Ya know it’s not that easy to look over all the crimes he’s been involved in, right? You were the one who told me about all of tha’, so it’s kinda your fault, too.”
Silence settles between you. She is a lot more composed than the first time around, but her frustration is still palpable. You can’t say you blame her; you can’t blame her, not after you ran to her when you first found out and you, yourself, were still somewhat uneasy. Sarah cares about you. This isn't just about Michael’s past, this is about her not wanting you to get hurt, and if she knew about your past, she would take it even more seriously. That is just the kind of person she is and you love that about her.
You look up at the ceiling. Your voice sounds brittle when you finally speak, but she can feel the passion and the devotion radiating off of your tongue with every word. “I love him,” you say, “and I want to be with him. You either accept it or you don’t, but I want to turn his head more than once tonight and I do plan to get thoroughly fucked at the end of this, so I could really use your expertise on the outfit. I’m not asking for relationship advice, I’m just asking for you to be my friend.”
Sarah lets out a long, exasperated sigh on the other end of the line. You can almost picture her rolling her eyes before finally speaking. “Alright, alright, I get it. Ya really know how to pull the guilt card, don't ya?” she says, her voice tinged with a mix of annoyance and amusement. “Fine, I'll help you. But don't expect me to suddenly embrace Mister Mob-Daddy-That-Said-I-Love-You-First with open arms. I do want ya to have a good night though, and I want ya t’be devoured ‘cause honestly if he's good in bed, ya go get him, girl.”
You chuckle at her enthusiastic response. 
“Now, puttin’ aside the fact that I still don’t understand why you fell fer a mobster, out of all people, let’s talk about this date. Where is he takin’ ya?”
“That’s the thing,” you say with a look at your closet. “I don’t know.”
“What do you mean you don’t know?” she asks. 
“It means I don’t know. He wouldn’t tell me. He said he’ll pick me up at nine and we’ll walk there together.”
“That’s… ominous.”
“Yeah, but not in a dangerous sense. Don’t even start.”
She throws her hands up, the rustling of her dress betrays her. “I wasn’t even sayin’ anything!”
“You were thinking it,” you retort. “No. He told me to wear something comfortable. That is all I know about tonight, and it’s freaking me out. That’s why I called you. I’m not good with clothes. I need your help.”
“Okay, okay,” she caves, “I’ll help ya. In fact, I do you one better and tell you exactly what to wear.”
You raise your eyebrows. “Oh, really?”
“Yeah, I know yer wardrobe inside and out and I know exactly what you should wear tonight with Mister Mysterious Mobster on your Mysterious Mobster Date.”
“Would you stop saying mobster?” you say and try to sound annoyed, but your lip twitches into a smirk anyway. “He’s just Michael,” you add. 
“Just Michael it is then,” she says, and you can hear the smile in her voice. “For tonight, I’m gonna accept that.”
“Thank you, Sarah, I–”
“Silence!” Her voice echoes dramatically in your ear, and she puts on a fake posh accent that has you cringing. “Let’s find you something marvelous to wear, my dear.”
“Only if you drop the accent.”
“Fine. Way to ruin the fun, but anyway…”
She picks a pair of jeans she weirdly knows exactly where to find. They’re your most comfortable pair, and she chooses a top to match with that, which she says will be easier to take off, and you once again wonder how many times she analyzed your closet when she visited you. 
“Throw on some ankle boots, a denim jacket, and those cute little butterfly earrings you have,” she continues. “Cross-body bag, red lipstick, hair tied back with a butterfly clip and you’re a hundred percent yourself but also smoking hot. Oh, and don’t forget to wear that green lingerie set. The one with the lace. I think he’s gonna love that.”
You stare at the outfit on your bed, a little surprised that she managed to put together something that screams your name, but it's also a little more adventurous. When you consider that on your first night with Michael, you wore the ugliest underwear known to man, and the next day you did it again; he never minded because underwear, in his eyes, is something that demands to be taken off, but wearing lingerie would drive him crazy nonetheless, and you feel a little better about yourself when you think about tonight. Sarah's choice boosts your confidence. 
“I don’t even want to know how you know all of my clothes,” you say, “but thank you, Sarah. This is… this is going to work great.”
Sarah laughs on the other end of the line. “A girl's gotta have her secrets, sunshine,” she answers. “Just remember to have a fabulous time tonight and enjoy every moment.”
You can hear the sincerity in her voice, and it warms your heart. Sarah has always been there for you, supporting you in her unique way. You appreciate a friend who is not afraid to say what she truly thinks.
You carry your outfit into the bathroom, squeezing the phone between your shoulder and ear. “I'll let you know how it goes,” you tell her. She requires you to give details whenever you go out, and tonight is not going to be any different.
She claps. “Of course! I want all the juicy details. Top to bottom. Bed to the dining table. His end to your end. I need it all!”
You laugh, your cheeks flushing bright red. “Oh, God! That's... that's a lot of details.” But you can feel yourself getting lighter and more excited than before. “Thank you. I will update you,” you say. “And send you pictures. Of the outfit, I mean.” 
The smirk in her voice is audible when she retorts, “I don't mind other pictures…” 
“Okay,” you remove the phone from your ear, “No nudes for you. Bye, bye!”
And you hang up on her, your lips still curled into a smile, and as you watch yourself in the mirror you can tell that it’s not just pretense – you’re happy. 
Taylor Swift blares in the background as you start getting ready. You slip into the carefully chosen outfit, making sure every detail is in place.
You know he won't care that much; he prefers you to wear what you want, and it's something no man has ever told you before. It is the bare minimum, but it draws you to him even more because he accepts you and accepts that you're your own person capable of making your own choices, and it means he appreciates your style at least to a certain point.
The jeans Sarah picked hug your curves just right, and the top accentuates your figure in all the best ways. As you fasten the ankle boots and put on the denim jacket, you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. You have struggled to accept yourself for a while, but you can't deny that you look pretty. 
The lingerie underneath is a small, intimate secret that only you know, a little surprise waiting to be revealed. A gift to be unwrapped. It will drive Michael wild once he discovers you're wearing it, and your heart skips a beat when you think about the things he would do to you. 
With your hair tied back and the butterfly earrings adorning your ears, you take a moment to apply the bold red lipstick. A bold lip goes a long way, Sarah once said, and she stands firmly by that. Lipstick often wears off after a while, but she got you one that is actually kiss-safe; Michael would kiss you even with lipgloss on, but you don't want to annoy him with the taste too much. 
Looking at your reflection one last time, you feel confident. 
Taking a deep breath, you grab your phone and keys, slipping them into the cross-body bag. For a night, you can allow yourself to let go just a little and enjoy yourself with the man you love. 
Love. It's still such a big word and it feels weird to even think about it, but at the same time the thought alone fills you with endless warmth and you can't believe he is yours, and he has vowed to be yours now. 
At nine exactly, there is a knock on your door. You take a deep breath. This feels like your first-ever date and you’re nervous, but you’re also excited. This is new for both of you, but you are determined to make it work.
When you open the door, Michael stands there wearing his best black jacket, the tight-fitting green sweater underneath that he wore the first time you met and a pair of jeans that hug him just right. His hair is messy, but in a way that seems wanted. He seems to have trimmed his beard and he’s wearing clean shoes instead of his dirty boots tonight.
He cleans up nicely, and he looks good. He is a sight to behold and your cheeks flush bright red at the sight of him. 
What makes it worse though is the bouquet of daisies and beautiful violets in his hands. He’s not carrying classical roses or tulips; the bouquet is colorful and adorned with the sweetest flowers you know, and the scent hits you just right.
Your heart skips a beat. He remembered little details about you that you don’t even consciously notice about yourself, and if that isn’t a silent gesture to tell you how much he loves you, you don’t know what is. Telling you the truth must have taken him a lot of courage, and he might struggle to do so again, which you understand, but he’s showing it to you and that’s more than enough. 
Michael’s jaw drops when he sees you. His lips carry a small smile of surprise, his cheeks soon matching your color as he takes in the sight of you, shamelessly checking you out. The flowers quiver in his hands and he has to refrain from throwing them aside, pushing you back into your apartment, and fucking you right there against the wall. 
“Wow,” he exhales. 
You return the sentiment, subconsciously reaching out to touch one of the violets that are pointed in your direction. “Wow,” you murmur. 
“You look…” He licks his lips, struggling to find a word that conveys your beauty. He’s awestruck, and his mind stops functioning. 
He was stupid enough to plan a whole speech to make this night perfect, but you stole his breath and now he can’t seem to get it back. You’ve stolen all of him, but he loves that because that means he is yours – body, mind, and soul – and he wouldn’t have it any other way. 
You brush a strand of hair behind your ear. “I wasn’t sure what to wear,” you admit, your voice barely above a whisper. “Because I wasn’t sure where we’re going and you said to dress comfortably, not to dress up, but then I didn’t feel comfortable just wearing something random, and you said comfortable, so I tried out a few things, called Sarah, and… here I am.” You open your arms, awkwardly showing off your whole outfit to him. “I hope it’s enough,” you say. 
He blinks a few times, his mouth opening and closing. He looks like a computer trying to reboot after a circuit failure. You watch him, your eyebrows furrowed. Does he not like it? You put a lot of effort into your outfit — Sarah did, anyway. You feel pretty, but what if he doesn’t think so? 
You would never let your worth be defined by a man, let alone him, but it would hurt a little because you wanted to look good for both of you tonight. You wanted him to enjoy looking at you as if you were a meal he can’t resist. You take his silence as a bad sign, insecurities eating away at you, until he finally snaps out of his trance when he sees hurt flash across your face.
“You’re so fuckin’ beautiful,” he says. 
Maybe you were expecting the worst, after all. Your blush deepens out of embarrassment this time, looking down at your feet to hide it. 
“Oh, and... I, uh... got these for ya," he stammers, realizing he forgot to mention the flowers. “I dunno if they're your favorite, but... I noticed you like violets and daisies 'cause ya have a lot of scented things…” He offers the bouquet to you. “Couldn’t exactly get ya a vanilla plant.” 
Well done, Michael. He internally curses himself for the stupid joke. But then you laugh and his worries fade away.
“First date means flowers, right? Or so I’ve heard. I’m not up-to-date on date culture. Is tha’... Is tha’ what they call it? Date culture?”
You only start laughing more. 
The lighthearted tone brings a smile to his face. You cover your mouth, trying to stifle your laughter, but it still fills the room with its song and his heart with warmth. 
“First date, date culture, whatever you want to call it,” you say after calming down, and you take the flowers from him with a smile. “And these flowers... they're perfect, Michael. Thank you.”
He exhales a sigh of relief. “I'm glad you like them,” he says. “I was worried I got the wrong ones or somethin'.”
You delicately hold the vibrant blooms in your hands, tracing the petals with your fingers. You get lost in thought for a moment before turning back to him. “They're exactly what I needed. And what I wanted. No one…” you trail off, your chest heaving with a sigh. “No one’s gotten me flowers before,” you admit. “So, thank you.”
Michael's cheeks turn a shade of pink, matching the color of the flowers in your hands. “I... I wanted to make tonight special. I know we're both new at this, but I want it to be a night to remember. And yer so beautiful, you deserve all the flowers.”
Your eyes crinkle. “I'm already having a night to remember.”
“I'm glad,” he says, matching your soft smile. “So…” He switches between the bouquet and your face, and you take it as a hint to put them aside. “Should we go? I, uh, have a surprise for ya.” 
His smile looks genuine and you love how the happiness defines his dimples and magnifies the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and the hazel of his irises glows like fire whenever he smiles. 
You nod. “Yeah, sure. Let’s go.”
As you make your way out of your apartment complex, he takes your hand in the chilly night air, offering you warmth and something to hold onto, and you make your way down the street, away from the gas station that has given you one too many sleepless nights. He walks close to you as if to shield you from any possible danger, and every so often you look at him to find him peeking over his shoulder behind you.
“What are you looking for?” you ask eventually, growing a little uneasy yourself.  
Michael chuckles softly, his breath creating a small cloud in the cool air. “Just makin' sure nobody's followin' us,” he tells you. “Can't be too careful, can we?”
His nerves are playing cruel tricks on him. Alone the thought of missing something and getting you hurt makes his blood run cold, and he urges you to walk a little faster to get out of the darkest part of town somewhere he knows no one has stationed any suppliers that interact with him or his family – and that is where you are safest. 
You walk for a while in silence. Time continues passing by, the night air brushing through your hair and his own, creating a cool yet gentle atmosphere around you. He squeezes your hand for warmth as you continue. 
Eventually, you come to a stop. You can hear the faint sound of music and laughter in the distance, and you crane your neck to get a better view, but Michael’s hands soon cover your eyes. 
You can hear the smirk in his voice when he whispers in your ear, “It’s a surprise.”
“I hate surprises,” you murmur, grabbing onto his wrists. 
“Ya’ll like this one, trust me.”
You trust him to walk you toward your destination, but you’re weary about his coordination skills. You feel helpless with your eyes covered. After a few steps, you relax a little, but it’s still unsettling. 
“You ready?” he asks you then. 
You nod eagerly. “Just show me already.”
The laughing and music get louder, followed by high-pitched ringing and the smell of popcorn, corndogs, and candy floss. 
You giggle when he presses his lips to the back of your neck, trying to pull the hands away from your eyes. “Where are–” you begin, but then he allows you to open your eyes and you’re so surprised, you forget what you wanted to ask. 
In front of you, there is a small carnival. It’s so small, you can overlook it from inside, but the lights are brighter than ever, shining in different hues of red, blue, green, orange, and purple and other variations of the color wheel. Music is playing in different parts, but it all blends well. There is an auto scooter in the middle, a Ferris Wheel at the end, different booths with games and food, and you can make out some smaller carousels for children. 
Glitter is strewn around, feathers of boas pass by you, and you see a clown somewhere. Balloon animals are being made in one corner while in the other, a couple is laughing loudly as they get out of the bumper car area. There is also a faster ride with spinning teacups and a freefall tower, but there is not much more to it. 
This is probably the tamest carnival you have ever seen, but the scenery is breathtaking. The music is phenomenal. You find yourself in awe of the lights and the artworks painted on the attractions. You love the layout of the booths, as far as you can see them, and the photo booth catches your eye; you haven’t seen one of these in a while. 
Your heart swells as memories flood over you, but they’re kind and they’re somewhat happy, and you realize that this is an escape like the one you sought when you were a child. For many, this is an escape right now.
You’re not sure what’s more beautiful, the lights or Michael, but you have to settle for the man beside you because his eyes are just as wide, but not because of what he sees inside the carnival, he’s only looking at you. 
“Oh, my God,” you whisper, still looking around. Your lips curl into a smile. You squeal. You feel like a teenager again. “Michael, this is–” There are no words to describe how nostalgia makes you feel. 
He smiles shyly. “Ya like it?” he asks. 
“Like it? I–” You stare at him, your mouth still agape. Without a word, you step forward and press your lips against his. 
Michael kisses back, his arms coming to wrap around your waist. Music and laughter blend into the background. It’s just the two of you right now, illuminated by the color-changing lights and the comfort of your lips. 
You break apart breathlessly after a few seconds. “I…” you shake your head in disbelief. “I love it. I love you.” The most childish giggle escapes your lips. “But you’re fucking mad!”
He chuckles, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear. “Why am I mad?”
“Because… because you brought me here. To a mini carnival.” You emphasize the size, but the way you say it makes it sound cute. “In the middle of the night with all of the lights,” you say, “It’s truly beautiful. You are beautiful. This…” You break apart, opening your arms as if to show him the obvious. “This is beautiful.”
The sounds of laughter and music from the carnival blend with the pounding of your heart. He leans back in. “I wanted to create a moment tha' was just for us, somethin' that would make you feel like a kid again. And seein' that smile on yer face, knowin' that I could bring you joy like this... it means the world to me.”
“You're insane in the best possible way,” you repeat. “Who else would think of a mini carnival as a surprise?”
He brushes his thumb gently against your cheek. “I love you too, more than words can express,” he whispers, the carnival almost drowning out his voice. “And seein' ya happy like this, it's all I ever wanted. Means mission accomplished.”
You find yourself lost in his eyes, the vibrant lights of the carnival reflecting in them. “You're beautiful,” you whisper back. “Thank you so much.”
He kisses you softly again, this time making sure to savor every moment. You break apart with a mischievous glimmer in your eye, grabbing his hand, and you tug him playfully toward the entrance. “Come on now! Let's have some fun.” 
He lowers his head with a chuckle before allowing you to drag him with you into the carnival, his heart a million pounds lighter now that he is with you.
Michael pays for the tickets, and he pays for the drinks you get once you enter because you wouldn’t admit that you’re thirsty, so he forces you to have something to drink before you pass out in the crowded space.
Surprisingly, it’s not as crowded as you expected. There is a lack of children because it’s the middle of the week and they’re all asleep in their beds, and the teenagers that are there to waste their time away don’t bother anyone but themselves. You see a few couples walking around, but there are not that many people, and it offers you and Michael some time just for yourselves. It’s almost as if he planned it to be this empty, and maybe he did, but if he did, you appreciate his efforts because you hate crowds, anyway.
Seeing the flashing lights and listening to the high-pitched noise of some of the attractions, you wearily roam your eyes over Michael’s face for any sign of discomfort.
“Are you sure we should be here?” you ask.
He frowns. “Why?”
“Your seizures…”
He says your name, pulling you into his arms as you stop in front of one of the most colorful rides. The passengers in the wagon get tossed around and they’re all laughing, even though you know the plastic can hurt. It’s a lot of fun, you remember. 
“Can we please not talk about tha’ tonight?” he says. “Please? I just want to have a good night with ya. Just you and me and forget about everythin’ else. Can we do that?”
Your eyes soften, your hand coming up to rest on his cheeks. “I’m just worried,” you say.
Flashing lights and loud noises are triggers for epileptic seizures. He doesn’t know what he has, but his seizures paint a picture of their own, and without medication, he could get triggered. You don’t want him to get hurt when you’re supposed to be having fun. But you also don’t want him to feel like you’re walking on eggshells around him. He knows his body and condition probably better than you do because you can’t feel what he’s feeling. You’re simply worried, and his eyes tell you that he knows, but he still doesn’t like to dwell on it.
“I’m okay,” he assures you. “I’d tell ya if I wasn’t, but lights… lights usually don’t give me seizures. I can ride rollercoasters and all of tha’, I think. It’s… I don’t know, it happens when I’m– I’m stressed. Hasn’t happened anywhere else before, so I’m alright.”
You sigh. He wouldn’t lie to you after telling you the truth, you know that. And maybe it’s good that you know in case something happens, but you hope it won’t. 
“I love you.” You lean in to brush your lips over his.  
He brings his lips to your forehead, pressing a gentle kiss on the skin there. “I love ya too,” he says. 
“So… you won’t mind if we ride that thing over there?” 
Following the line your finger is pointing, Michael’s eyes widen visibly when you point to the moving teacups on the platform a little further away. They continuously keep spinning, and he can already feel himself getting nauseous at the thought. 
“Oh!” you exclaim happily when you see the free-fall tower so close to you. “Or that one?”
His eyes are still wide in shock when he stares back at you. “I thought we were gonna ride bumper cars,” he says, “not… not defy death.”
You burst out laughing. “What, as if you’re afraid of carnival rides?”
He doesn’t answer.
“Wait. Michael Kinsella, are you afraid of carnival rides? Or is it heights? Don’t tell me it’s heights.”
He blushes. “That thing falls!” he tries to defend himself as he points toward the tower. “And that one…” he can’t find the words for the spinning tea cups because they just look ridiculous. “Teacups don’t spin,” he says. “And towers are not supposed to… fall.”
Your laughter turns into a soft, teasing giggle as you pull him close and kiss him. The kiss is tender and he melts under your touch, though the fear in his veins remains. When he decided to take you there he was thinking about riding the things Anna used to ride when she was little like bumper cars, a carousel, or the Ferris wheel, not whatever you just pointed out to him. He always steered clear of that. 
“Michael Kinsella, part of the most dangerous crime family in Dublin,” you sigh dramatically, “and he is afraid of carnival rides.”
That makes him seem so human, all you can do is pinch his cheeks and kiss him all over. 
“Don’t judge me.” Michael pouts at you. “I’m not a fan. I like bumper cars though.”
His smile warms your heart. It looks giddy, a little shy, maybe, but it’s an honest smile. 
“I like bumper cars too,” you say. “Perhaps we should try that out then.”
“Yeah.”
“And then we could ride… the carousel with the little animals as wagons?”
“Mhm.”
“Ferris wheel?”
“Only if ya hold my hand,” he says. 
You chuckle, taking his hand in yours already as you make your way to the bumper car area. “That can be managed, my dear.”
The sounds of laughter and the aroma of carnival treats fill the air, heightening the atmosphere.
“You wanna drive with me?” you ask when it's your turn. 
He smirks and shakes his head. What you didn't expect was for him, who claims he doesn't have a license, to be so good at bumper cars – and then you remember that he might have lost it and that he knows how to drive, he just isn't allowed to, and in that case, it makes you competitive. 
You and Michael strap yourselves into separate cars, your eyes focused on each other. Your cars are several rows apart, but you can make out each other just fine, and he looks as if he's about to destroy you. As the ride starts with a blaring song through the speakers, he maneuvers his car with surprising skill, finding you and bumping straight into your car. You gasp, blowing the hair out of your face.
“You're going to regret that,” you say. 
Hitting the gas pedal, you chase after him now, the people in your way disappearing as you bump them out of the way to back him into a corner. And you manage to do so until he puts the car into reverse and bumps you back. 
“Rude!” You bump him right back. 
He laughs. “Not so smart now, huh?” he retorts. 
“Oh, fuck off!”
“You first!”
You keep chasing each other around the track until you’re both laughing like maniacs. The cars come to a halt and you struggle to get the seatbelt off after being tossed around so much. 
Michael, ever the gentleman, offers you his hand and helps you out of the vehicle. You poke his tongue out at him, but you take it anyway. 
After the first ride, you make your way to the carousel, hand in hand. The colorful lights and the gentle music create a magical ambiance as you choose your favorite animal to ride. You both simultaneously point out the unicorn, and it feels like you're mentally connected in a way. You find comfort in the simplicity of the carousel, the feeling of the wind in your hair, and the warmth of Michael's hand in yours. 
He watches you as you lean back, closing your eyes and simply enjoying it like the few kids in the wagons around you. It's a moment spent in absolute silence, and you wouldn't have it any other way. In this world, it is just the two of you, and you are having the time of your lives. All the worries fade into the background, overshadowed by the comfort of each other's arms. 
Finally, after another ride with the carousel, you reach the Ferris wheel, the grand centerpiece of the carnival. It is much smaller than the London Eye, obviously, but you prefer it that way. As you step into the gondola and the wheel starts moving, Michael clasps your hand. 
The metal feels unstable under him, and it is a lot shakier than the stable gondolas in a bigger Ferris wheel, but you find that to be the beauty of it. With a soft chuckle, you squeeze his hand and encourage him to place his head on your shoulder until you have reached the top. 
“Don't laugh,” he says with a pout, and you try not to, but the thought of Michael Kinsella having a fear of heights still amuses you. 
The view from the top is breathtaking, to say the least. You nudge him to open his eyes and take a look around Dublin with you, the city lights forming little blobs on the night sky, and you can make out the river as the moon reflects off it. The stars barely stand a chance against downtown, but once you turn around and look in the direction where nature is, you can make out the different constellations, and you point out Orion to him. 
“It’s so beautiful,” you whisper. 
“Yeah,” says Michael, but when you turn to him, he is looking directly at you. “The sight is truly breathtakin’.”
You blush, turning your head away, but he catches your chin and pulls you back toward him. 
“Don’t look away from me…”
You shiver at the sound of his voice. “Sorry.”
He strokes your cheek, then your jawline before resting his hand on your throat, feeling your pulse jump at his subtle touch, and then he finally leans in to kiss you. With the stars in the background and the city in the distance alive and bustling, you find yourself enveloped in your bubble again.
As you kiss under the stars for the first time, illuminated by the colorful lights of the carnival high atop the Ferris wheel, you continue falling deeper and deeper in love with him.
The world seems to fade away as you lose yourself in the moment, in the gentle caress of his lips against yours. With each passing second, your hearts beat more and more in harmony, aligning like the planets that make the stars.
As you break apart, breathless and filled with a sense of wonder, Michael stares at you. 
“I never want this moment to end,” he says. 
You smile, tracing the outline of his nose. “Me neither,” you say.
“You remind me of a star.”
“Why?”
“Because yer bright… and you fill me with wonder.”
“Wonder?”
“Yeah, wonder.” He kisses you again even softer. “I’m just mesmerized by ya.”
“Good,” you smile, “because I feel the same way about you.”
The Ferris wheel shakes, and your moment is torn in two as Michael grabs onto your arm. You try not to laugh, but you fail miserably. 
“And we’re goin’ down,” he says. 
You look away, but your laugh reaches his ears, and he pouts all the way down, making sure you feel every last bit of his displeasure. But you can’t help it; the sight is too adorable not to laugh. 
Passing by the many booths littered along the carnival as you walk away from the Ferris wheel, you notice one with particularly fluffy stuffed animals lined along the walls. 
“I’ve always wanted one,” you point out. “Had a small one as a kid, but I… lost it.” 
He looks at you and then the teddy bears you’re pointing at. It’s one of these games where you get a rifle and have to shoot a target – but it’s not real; it’s filled with air. He bites his cheek, then grins at you.
“What?”
He tugs at your arm as he pulls you along toward the booth. 
“Hey,” he greets the owner. “I’d like ta take a shot at winnin’ that bear up there. The big one?”
The man eyes him curiously, then looks behind him to see you. “She belong to ya?” he asks.
Michael doesn’t like the way he’s looking at you. His eyes darken, and his fingers brush the rifle. If those held real bullets, he would give the man the fright of his life. Still, he takes it and charges it expertly, his attention focused on him.
The man’s eyes switch from you to him, Michael’s sour smile almost taking him out. He looks dangerous with his jaw clenched and hand wrapped around a gun that wasn’t meant to hurt anyone, but he could make it work if he wanted to. 
“If my girl wants a teddy bear,” Michael says, “I’m winnin’ her a teddy bear. Now, may I take my shots, sir?” 
You’re not surprised when he hits all targets on the first try. The owner of the booth didn’t see it coming, but you are more than happy when he takes down the biggest teddy bear and hands it to you. His hand is shaking. 
Michael winks, pulling him down further when he hands the gun back. “If ya ever look at another woman the same way ya just looked at my girlfriend again in yer miserable life,” he says, his voice bordering on a growl, and his eyes bore into the man’s, “trust me that I’ll come back here with a real gun and make sure it’s the last time ya ever lay eyes or yer dirty little fingers on one again. Ya don’t wanna mess with me. We clear?”
He swallows, all color fading from his skin.
“I asked ya somethin’–“ Michael’s fist collides with the counter, but it’s a silent collision that only catches the attention of the one it needs to; you seem oblivious, even though maybe a little curious. “D’ya hear me?” he repeats. “I won’t tell ya twice. The next time, ya won’t be so fuckin’ lucky.”
“Yeah, got tha’,” the man is quick to respond. “I’m sorry, I–“
“Shut up. Just let her have the teddy bear and move on.”
I get dangerously angry, sometimes, when someone touches what’s mine. 
He is not a mind reader, but Michael knew from the moment the at least sixty-year-old man first stared at you he would have done something if he hadn’t been there. And then someone could have bought his hands off the dark web after Michael would have cut them off with a dull knife. 
Michael offers the man a big smile and wishes him a good night before taking your hand and the teddy bear and pulling you away from the possible danger he saw in him.
“What was that about?” you ask, curious about what could have conspired between the two men.
It didn’t look friendly and neither did it sound like it, but you were too focused on your new stuffed animal to really pay attention. And you don’t really care, anyway. Michael must have had his reasons.
He simply presses a kiss on your temple instead of answering and says, “Nothin’. All good here. Let’s take a walk.” 
You walk the last few meters in silence, your arms hugged around your new toy and his hands buried in the pockets of his jeans. The silence isn’t uncomfortable or loaded. You’re enjoying each other's company without disturbing it with words. 
After a while, Michael contemplates, his eyebrows furrowing before he looks up at you and admits, “I used to bring Anna here all the time when she was little.”
You meet his eyes. “You did?” you ask. 
“Yeah, she, uh, loved bumper cars and everythin’ that was blinkin’, so…” he smiles to himself. “The guys from the carnival come here every few months, and it’s always been a happy place fer us, so I thought it could be yours, too. Ours, maybe. I don’t know.”
You used to take Maya to carnivals all the time when she was younger. It was your way of getting a few hours of freedom without fights or violence, and you always made sure to check out all the rides and win stuffed animals. You ate your way through half of the booths and came out with a sugar rush, but every night was worth it. 
His confession weighs heavily on you because even the happiest memories are now overshadowed by a different kind of memory, and it causes the muscles around your heart to contract in agony. 
“I’m sure she loved it,” you say with a soft smile, even though the smile is fake. 
“She did,” he says, and he grows a bit quieter now, too. 
To lighten the mood, you tug at his arm and point toward the photo booth. “What do you say we try that next?”
He frowns. “Seriously?”
“Yeah. Deadly.”
“I don’t usually take photos of myself. I hate ‘em.”
“But it’s not just you, is it?” you say. Your eyes crinkle again. “Please? Just a few pictures of the two of us together? And Mister Bear?” You use the teddy’s hand to wave at him. 
Michael chuckles. “Mister Bear?” he asks. 
“Yes, that’s his name. If you don’t want to take a picture with me, I will trade you for him as my cuddle buddy.”
He raises his eyebrows at your playful threat. The smirk gives you away, but he still fears you might replace him for the stuffed animal in the end if he doesn’t comply. “Alright,” he caves, “let’s take some pictures of us. But I can’t promise they’re gonna be good.”
You pull him into the photo booth with an excited giggle. “You always look good.”
“Beg to differ.”
“Beg all you want, it’s not gonna get you out of this one,” you say.
You get five pictures in a row – five attempts at striking the poses you want to in the small booth.
During the first shot, Michael manages to look particularly grimy, so for the second one, you decide to force the teddy bear in his face, which makes him laugh just as the flash goes off. Then, for the next one, you lean your head against his shoulder and smile, and he has never looked more endearing. You decide to do a silly pose for the fourth one, and he joins in, now feeling less serious about himself. As you stare into each other’s eyes for the three-second break, you let the inner urge take over and kiss him on the lips just as the flash goes off and captures the moment between you. 
Walking out of the booth, Michael is quick to catch the photo strips to be the first one to look at them; thankfully, you get two versions, so you both each get to carry the memory of that day with you. 
He smiles when he sees the pictures, he genuinely smiles, and he puts the strip into his wallet where there is an empty photo slot. 
“We look cute,” you say, pointing at the last picture. “Especially in that one.”
He chuckles, wrapping an arm around your shoulders. “We do look cute when we kiss, don’t we?” he says. 
“We do, indeed. But not just when we kiss. We always look cute.”
“Sure, always.”
You store it away in your cross-body bag, not wanting it to get ruined by dirt or accidentally lose it. 
You are about ready to make your way to the exit when he checks the time on his watch and stops you in your tracks by calling your name. “I have one more surprise for tonight,” he says.
“One more surprise?” you ask.
“Yeah, one more. C’mon.”
“What is it?”
“If I told ya, it wouldn’t be a surprise.”
“But I hate surprises.”
He repeats his words from long before with a smile, not a smirk, “Yer gonna like this one.”
As you settle in the grass on a small hill that connects directly to the carnival, you watch the last few people pass by before it closes. Your teddy bear is nestled comfortably against a tree as you and Michael lie next to each other. It might seem weird, but there is something intimate about how you cradle each other’s cheeks and stare into each other’s eyes as if the person you have been looking for all your lives is finally next to you – in your case, that is. 
In the distance, a fire is being lit, and soon enough, colorful fireworks explode above your head. It catches you both off guard. Your eyes widen, mesmerized by the beauty of it all. The night sky is alive with color now, and you get lost in it. 
“Michael,” you breathe. 
He follows your gaze and watches the fireworks explode in front of the stars he compared you to. “I know,” he says. 
There is something special about fireworks. The different colors and shapes lure you in, and everyone views it as a spectacle. 
Fireworks, with their fleeting nature, teach you to appreciate the transient beauty of life and to treasure the moments of joy that come your way. They are seen as means to celebrate, not just milestones but life itself, and every human being is drawn to it. Explosions are only pretty if they're fireworks. Humans find beauty in disaster. 
Fireworks, with their dazzling display of colors and patterns, evoke a sense of wonder, allowing us to momentarily escape from the complexities of life and immerse ourselves in the beauty of the moment.
You fill him with wonder, too. You fill him with all the good feelings and he’s always floating on cloud nine when he’s with you. 
Curling into his side, you place your head on his chest, watching the fireworks continue their dance on the black canvas. 
“Thank you,” you whisper. “Tonight was… the best night of my life.”
Michael wraps an arm around you. “And it was mine, too,” he says. 
“I don’t want it to be over.”
“We can stay as long as ya want, my love.”
“Watching the fireworks?”
He smiles, leaning down to kiss the top of your head. “‘Til they’re over,” he assures you, “every last one of ‘em.”
You snuggle closer with a content sigh. “Sounds perfect to me.”
As the fireworks continue, he holds you close to his heart, making sure you’re warm and taken care of, and you find yourself letting go in his embrace. His arms form a protective shield around you, protecting you from the world and the pain that always seems to come back to haunt both of you. But love has been known since the beginning of time to keep us alive; lying on the grass in each other’s arms is all you need, and your love exceeds all expectations either of you had for the future.

Need help with our current and future legal fees
I am reaching out to you today to humbly ask for your support in our fight against the dishonest and frankly totally unfit executor of my wife's mother's will.
He has bombarded our family with many insults, lies, and totally untrue accusations. Some are extremely personal, obscene, and completely unfounded. All these messages were sent via WhatsApp and Messenger. On one occasion he said to my wife after she questioned what he was doing 'It's nothing to do with you and anyway you will be dead soon' Copies of all these messages are held by our legal representatives.
We desperately need to remove him as an executor but this is proving to be beyond our means.
Our solicitor needs 1500 pounds to prepare the case and then a further 2000 pounds to submit it to the court. After that, if there is a hearing, costs will spiral.
Sadly, this individual (My wife's brother) has failed badly to carry out his responsibilities with honesty and integrity, causing undue hardship, mental anguish, and many legal challenges for my wife. He has resisted every attempt we have made to negotiate an end to this matter. His replies to requests made by our legal representatives were met with the same vitriolic comments we have been receiving. Once even accusing them of Fraud and threatening them with being reported to HMRC.
We also suspect that at or around the time of my wife's Mother's death he took amounts of money from her bank and savings accounts though we cannot prove this as we have not got access yet to her banking records. We have written to the relevant banks and building societies in order to investigate this further.
He has withheld the information from my wife for almost four years that she was named as a co-executor of the estate. We only got sight of the will he holds in early 2023. This happened after he had taken legal advice which he seems to have now abandoned.
Without her knowledge or permission rented out her mother's property in September 2019 some 8 weeks after her death.
This rental was not registered with the proper authorities and as far as we know no contract was signed. He has since registered himself as the landlord and owner of the property with the rental authorities(2022). He has taken the rent from that property for his own personal income Est 40,000 pounds to date. This money belongs to the estate.
We are asking for donations in light of our mounting legal fees as we have all but exhausted our savings and are unable to continue. We plan to have him removed as an executor so we can finally close off the estate. This can be a very expensive and lengthy process.
To date, he has not applied for probate for the estate but rather used the assets of that estate for his own financial benefit. He had the house valued even before the funeral had taken place and rented out the property only a few weeks after. He did not register the rental of the property with the appropriate authorities. The house was not insured and no contract was in place with the tenant. He did not remove any of my wife's parent's belongings or furniture. These were left for the tenant to package up and store outside the house in a lean-to garage. Anything my wife would have wanted to keep as a memento has now gone. We imagine photographs, letters etc are all destroyed.
He continues to attempt to insult our family via social media and any other means at his disposal, though we have blocked him wherever we can.
He has made no attempt to instigate a probate application himself nor is he showing any signs of cooperating with us. My wife's mother had always insisted that there was enough money in her accounts to pay for the funeral expenses. This proved not to be the case and we made up the difference.
To ensure that justice is served and the wishes of the deceased are respected, we are in need of financial assistance to cover the mounting legal fees. Every donation, no matter the size, will bring us one step closer to holding this person accountable and ensuring a just resolution. We kindly request your generosity in helping us fight for what is rightfully ours and stand against dishonesty. Any contribution will make a significant difference in our pursuit of justice. Thank you in advance for your support and belief in our case.

Things to Look When You Hire Leeds Liberty Solicitors
Testimonials
Another way to make sure legal advice in Leeds is operating legally and giving its clients quality service is to read testimonials. Find out what other people are saying about the customer experiences of various lawyers by doing research on them. For additional independent confirmation, you can look up their rating on independent websites.
It can be overwhelming to seek legal counsel and not know where to start. You might not be certain what type of legal assistance you require from Leeds solicitors firms or how much it will cost. Liberty Solicitors is here to help you but you need to look at some things when you hire a solicitor in Leeds. 
Why Choose Liberty Solicitors?
Your Family Lawyer Doesn’t Need to be Local
People continue to insist on choosing a local family lawyer despite the fact that we are in the digital age and at the cutting edge of technology. Even if the solicitor is local, you will probably communicate with them almost exclusively by phone, mail, email, and occasionally even video chat. It makes sense to choose a solicitor based on competence rather than location since none of these procedures necessitate in-person meetings.
Cost
The decision to hire legal advice in Cardiff like Liberty Solicitors frequently takes price into consideration. You may frequently obtain better service if you're willing to spend more. A standard conveyancing service will be provided if you choose a price that is close to the average of the quotes. Otherwise, if you want to save money, pick the service with the lowest costs. However, you must be aware of what is included in the bill in order to know how much you must pay. Are there any additional fees, and when should they be paid?
Avoid relatives
Don't give in to family pressure, even if your cousin is a solicitor and is offering you "mates' rates." Conveyancing is a business; it is not a social activity. Additionally, you require Leeds solicitors firms which are proactive and aren't just conveying in between more lucrative jobs when you're in a contract race.

What to Know About Buying a Cheap House in the UK
Are you dreaming of owning a home in the UK without breaking the bank? You're not alone! Many people are in search of affordable houses that don’t come with a hefty price tag. But how do you navigate the world of cheap house UK? Here's everything you need to know.
Tumblr media
Understanding the Market for Cheap Houses
The first step is to grasp why some houses are so cheap. Often, the price reflects the location, condition, or size of the home. Areas with less demand might offer lower prices. For example, a cozy cottage in the countryside might cost less than a flat in a busy city. It’s all about where you look!
Where to Find Budget-Friendly Homes
Finding a cheap house UK isn’t impossible. Websites like Rightmove and Zoopla list properties across the UK. Don't forget to check local auctions or estate agents that specialize in affordable homes. Sometimes, small towns have hidden gems. Think of it like treasure hunting—keep your eyes open!
Inspecting the Property
Before you get too excited about a cheap house, give it a good look. This means checking for issues like damp, structural damage, or outdated wiring. A house might seem like a steal, but hidden problems could cost you later. Consider it as playing detective; you want to uncover any secrets the house is hiding.
Budgeting for More Than Just the Purchase Price
When you buy a home, the price isn't the only thing to think about. There are other costs like stamp duty, legal fees, and moving expenses. Plus, think about renovations! A cheap house might need a little TLC to turn it into your dream home. It’s like buying a fixer-upper; it can be a bit of work, but the result can be stunning.
Securing Financing for Your Cheap House
If you don't have the cash to buy a home outright, you'll need a mortgage. It’s crucial to shop around for the best deal. Different lenders offer various rates. Finding the right one is like finding the perfect pair of shoes—sometimes, it takes a bit of searching!
Knowing the Legal Side
Buying a house involves some paperwork, so knowing what to expect can save you headaches. Hire a good solicitor or conveyancer who knows the ropes. They’ll help you understand contracts and make sure everything is in order. Think of them as your guide through a maze; they’ll help you find the way!
The Importance of Location
Location is everything when buying a cheap house UK. A low price might be tempting, but don’t ignore the area. Check out local schools, transport links, and shops. It’s like picking a fruit; you want to ensure you’re getting the best quality, not a bruised apple.
Joining the Community
Once you've found your budget-friendly home, get involved in your new neighborhood. Attend local events, visit nearby shops, and meet your neighbors. Building a community can make your new house feel more like a home. After all, a house is just bricks and mortar until you fill it with memories.
Conclusion: Happy House Hunting!
Buying a cheap house in the UK is totally achievable if you know what to look for. From understanding the market to becoming part of the community, every step is important. So roll up your sleeves and start your journey to homeownership. You never know; your dream home might be waiting just around the corner. Visit more information for your website

5 Ways Real Estate Tokenization is Revolutionizing Commercial Property Investment
The real estate sector has always maintained high minimum entrance cost, complicated dealings, and nondyadic nature of the business.Nonetheless, the rise of blockchain technology and real estate tokenization is likely to change this age-old norm in no small way, particularly in the area of investing in commercial properties.
Tokenization proposes a whole new way of looking at investment that is designed to remove these obstacles so that the barriers that have always been present in commercial real estate are able to be reduced, and made more liquid and efficient, thus reshaping the industry. In this article, we’ll discuss five aspects of real estate tokenization services that change the way we invest in commercial properties.
Tumblr media
Table of contents : 
1. Giving more people access to commercial real estate
2. Better access to funding for investors
3. Transactions became easier and costs went down
4. Better security and more transparency
5. Chances to invest around the world
Conclusion
1. Giving more people access to commercial real estate
In the past, only institutional investors and wealthy people were able to invest in commercial real estate. This is where fractional property ownership becomes possible thanks to the tokenization of real estate, which breaks the property up into many smaller digital pieces. These tokens stand for a part of the property making it possible for people to invest with lesser amounts of money, at times, as low as $100.
This concept of fractional ownership paves way for the common investors who would have otherwise missed out on the earnings from bold and elegant county investments that were only possible to the very rich. It is through the thinned out access that zoning of high rise commercial buildings is enhancing the number of beneficiaries of the returns in terms of rents and appreciation in property values.
2. Better access to funding for investors
For many decades, and even more so in the previous decade, liquidity has been one of the most defining investment issues causing challenges for investment in commercial real estate. One could acquire or dispose of property on the stock market without much strain; this is however not true for commercial buildings due to the long selling periods, complex processes, expenses involved, and unable to sell the whole building individually. Tokenization alters the current reality as it allows for the buying and selling of property tokens in exchanges that are supported by blockchain technology.
 What this entails is that an individual can easily purchase or sell their fractional interest in a commercial property via an online platform. Such liquidity is unprecedented in the history of the real estate market. Integrated liquidity is not only advantageous to the investors as they are able to achieve the required flexibility but also encourages more people to participate in the activities of the market thus enhancing the investment environment.
3. Transactions became easier and costs went down
The conventional way to transact in commercial property is tedious and entails a lot of third parties such as brokers, solicitors and escrow agents, all of whom charge their commissions. Tokenization utilizes the blockchain technology in smart contracts to eliminate these processes and intermediaries. Simply put, Smart contracts are contracts programmed into the code to execute the transactions once certain conditions are set out and met.
 That is to say, it cuts down costs related to middlemen, curtails manual errors and enhances the speed of the transaction. Hence, buyers and sellers enjoy reduced costs, expedited settlements and the whole investment process is streamlined.
4. Better security and more transparency
In the process of tokenization, organizations inevitably rely on technology with the highest level of security and accountability known as blockchain. Thus, each and every process associated with the asset is recorded and stored within the block, be it an ownership transfer or even a distribution of rental payments, and retrieved by each participant. This degree of transparency in business proceedings aided by blockchain technology reduces fraudulent tendencies and promotes confidence among investors as they can always ascertain the legitimacy of the property, its owners, and any operation carried out on it.
In addition, the use of cryptographic encryption and consensus mechanisms as part of the security features of blockchain will also enhance the safety of the ownership records of real properties making them tampering resistant and inaccessible to hostile agents unlike the conventional paper-based real estate records.
5. Chances to invest around the world
The tokenization of real estate eliminates geography, meaning anyone, anywhere, can engage in commercial property investment in any market. Historically, investing in the foreign markets would often be mired in a host of issues, mainly regulatory, looking for available investment vehicles and dealing with the management of investments from another country. 
Tokenization, by on the other hand, makes it possible to invest across single markets cheaply and easily by turning the ownership into the tokenized form which in turn allows buying digital property with the use of cryptocurrency or digital fiat. This extended reach in investment attraction increases the number of potential investors as well as easing the process of property investment for the property owners who already have managed to persuade quite a number of potential investors. By allowing international investors to purchase shares, it helps mitigate risks associated with the investment and also maximizes returns.
Conclusion
The investment landscape of commercial real estate is changing for the better thanks to real estate tokenization, which has a more friendly, effective and straightforward way of doing business. Through the use of technology known as ‘tokenization’, the commercial real estate sector is undergoing a positive transformation in terms of access and liquidity, efficiency of operations, clearness and reach.
In future as tokenization will be adapted by many investors and property owners, this will most likely become a key element in the reinvention of real estate investment.
It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced investor or a naive one, looking at the tokenized real estate might just be the entry point for you to take part in the new wave of investing in properties.
Interested in learning more about how you can invest in tokenized commercial real estate? Stay updated with the latest insights and opportunities in the world of blockchain and property investment by Real estate tokenization development.

To ensure a smoother buying experience, it’s essential to understand the process and leverage resources like First Home buyer loan schemes. This guide will help you identify the best first home buyer loans in Melbourne tailored to your needs.
1. Assess Your Readiness and Organize Your Finances: Before diving in, evaluate if you’re ready for this long-term financial commitment. Discuss your plans with your partner, considering emotional and financial aspects, especially if you plan to start a family. Understand how mortgage payments will affect your lifestyle compared to renting. Review your income, savings, and monthly expenses, aiming to save a deposit—typically around 20% of the property’s value—to avoid lender's mortgage insurance. Check your eligibility under several first home buyer loan schemes. Creating a budget will help you determine how much you can comfortably afford and set the foundation for future long-term growth.
2. Calculate Your Borrowing Capacity: To find out how much you can borrow, consult a mortgage broker. They will assess your financial situation and guide you through the lending criteria. A broker will consider your credit history, existing debts, and interest rates to help you determine a suitable borrowing amount, potentially qualifying you for the best first home buyer loans in Melbourne. 3. Save for Your Deposit and Research Mortgage Options: Prioritize saving for your deposit while exploring government initiatives like First Home buyer loan schemes, which can assist with deposit costs. Compare mortgage products from various lenders, focusing on interest rates, fees, and features such as offset accounts or redraw facilities. This research will help you find the best first home buyer loans in Melbourne that fit your financial situation.
4. Secure Pre-Approval and Start House Hunting: Once your finances are in order, obtain mortgage pre-approval with the assistance of a mortgage broker. This confirms your borrowing capacity and typically lasts for 3 to 6 months. With pre-approval in hand, begin your property search. Make a list of essential features but remain flexible. Explore online listings and attend open houses to find your ideal home.
5. Conduct Inspections : Before finalizing your purchase, arrange for building and pest inspections to identify potential issues. This can save you from costly repairs later.
6. Make an Offer or Bid at Auction: When you find a property that meets your needs, make a conditional offer or prepare for an auction. Set a strict budget to avoid overspending.
7. Finalize Contracts and Move In: After your offer is accepted, review the contract with your solicitor. Once everything is in order, sign the contract and pay the deposit. Settlement marks the official transfer of ownership, and you’ll receive the keys to your new home. From there, your mortgage repayments begin.
By following these steps and utilizing First Home buyer loan schemes, you can secure the best first home buyer loans in Melbourne, with paying a potentially very low deposit to buy your first dream home.

Planning to build, amend or extend a property in France? French Plans, the English speaking architects in France can help you navigate the process, from a simple planning permission application to full design service. Help with planning permission in France When it comes to making changes to your property in France, the chances are you’ll need to apply for planning permission. Whether you’re extending the property, building your own home, and even in some instances changing the colours of the shutters, you’ll need to have official authorisation (you could void your insurance policy, face substantial fines or even be forced to destroy the work if you don’t). Nothing would please us more than to tell you that it’s a simple process – but it’s not. There’s a lot of documentation and paperwork to navigate and formal floor plans to be submitted. From understanding conditions attached to the initial purchase right through to local planning regulations, drawing up building plans and ensuring you’ve got the right certification in place when work is complete, there’s heaps to get right. You’ll need to dot all the ‘i’s and cross all the ‘t’s at the right time, and in the right order. French regulations and administration relating to building permission and construction work are, it’s fair to say, complicated. Completing the steps required is time consuming and if you get even the most minor thing wrong, you will fail in your application. Trust me, we’ve been there. It can be a frustrating and seriously stressful experience. Even if you speak French, you’re likely to need professional help. Thankfully there is a company that understands the system thoroughly and can help you succeed. English speaking architects in France
Architect and managing director of French Plans, Tom Easdown, says, “At French Plans we work hard to minimise the stress and complexity of planning applications in France.  We are both an architectural practice and a planning consultancy, myself and Mike are French and UK Qualified Architects and the team is fully bilingual, being able to communicate with our clients in English and the French Authorities in French.  With a pretty unique knowledge of both the anglophone world and the French planning system we are well placed to help our clients navigate the planning system and achieve the best outcomes” The team work on every kind of building including historic monuments, chateaux and manor houses. They can help you extend, convert or renovate your existing property, for domestic or commercial use. And they can work with you to build your dream home or bespoke business premises. French Plans can advise you on the permissions you need to apply for, and the regulations you need to adhere to, from installing swimming pools to a shepherd’s hut or shed in your garden (which can often need permission) right through to a completely new construction. They will prepare and submit applications for full planning (permis de construire), minor works (déclaration préalable) and outline planning permission (certificat d’urbanisme) for your project depending on what is required. If you are looking to sell off part of your land, or split an existing dwelling into one or more individual houses, French Plans can also help with the formal administration needed. Buying a property and have plans for it?
If you’re thinking of buying a property in France but know that you’ll need planning permission to make changes, then consider getting planning authorisation as part of the buying process. Tom says, “we often work with our clients to prepare and submit outline planning applications (CUb) during the contract phase of a property purchase, and your notaire (solicitor), can often add a clause to the sales contract making the purchase contingent on receiving a positive response which provides a level of comfort that your dreams and plans for the property can be realised” Having professional help with applying for planning – requirements and documents vary for different types of requests – will minimise delay in achieving authorisation and purchase. French plans can also carry out feasibility studies, cost summary reports and organise checks such as soil study reports which may be required for properties not connected to mains drainage. Design service for your French property
French Plans are not just about administration they are also enthusiastic about all things design. “As architects we are passionate about design and how good design can unlock the potential of a property.  It’s not just about getting the administration right it’s also about creating spaces that our clients can feel proud of and that improve the way they enjoy their homes.  We find that good design and accurate documentation is key to making sure the planning application process and the construction phases of the works are as stress free and enjoyable as possible.” Accurate and professional documentation is an essential part of the process when it comes to getting authorisation for planning, and it is a key benefit when working with artisans to complete the project. Not only will French Plans help with the design and the planning application process, but they will also assist with the getting the correct permissions for drainage design and services connections, a real one stop shop for any construction project.

How to Finance Your House and Land Package in SEQ
Purchasing a house and land package is a significant investment and finding the right financing option is crucial for a smooth and successful transaction. If you’re considering house and land packages in Southeast Queensland, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the financing process.
1. Understanding House and Land Packages
Before diving into the financing options, it’s important to understand what a house and land package entails. These packages typically involve two contracts: one for the land and another for the construction of the house. This approach can offer benefits such as fixed pricing and simplified choices, making it an attractive option for first-time homebuyers and investors.
2. Determine Your Budget
The first step in financing your house and land package is to establish a clear budget. Consider your savings, income, and existing debts to determine how much you can afford to spend. Keep in mind additional costs such as stamp duty, legal fees, and any potential upgrades or customizations to your home.
3. Check Your Credit Score
Your credit score plays a significant role in determining your eligibility for a home loan and the interest rate you will be offered. Obtain a copy of your credit report and review it for any errors or discrepancies. A higher credit score can lead to better loan terms and lower interest rates.
4. Explore Loan Options
There are several types of loans available for financing house and land packages in Southeast Queensland. These include:
Construction Loans: These loans are specifically designed for building new homes. Funds are released in stages as the construction progresses, ensuring that you only pay interest on the amount drawn down.
Standard Home Loans: These loans can be used to purchase both the land and the house. You may need to make interest-only payments during the construction phase, with the loan converting to principal and interest repayments upon completion.
Low Deposit Loans: If you have limited savings, low deposit loans can help you secure financing with a smaller upfront payment. However, these loans may come with higher interest rates and lenders mortgage insurance (LMI).
5. Seek Pre-Approval
Obtaining pre-approval for a home loan provides a clear understanding of how much you can borrow and demonstrates to sellers that you are a serious buyer. Pre-approval involves a thorough assessment of your financial situation by the lender and is valid for a specific period, usually three to six months.
6. Choose the Right Lender
Selecting the right lender is crucial for securing favorable loan terms. Compare different lenders based on interest rates, fees, repayment options, and customer service. Consider consulting with a mortgage broker who can provide expert advice and help you find the best loan product for your needs.
7. Save for a Deposit
Saving for a deposit is a key step in the home buying process. Aim to save at least 20% of the purchase price to avoid paying lenders mortgage insurance (LMI). If this is not feasible, many lenders offer low deposit loans that allow you to borrow up to 95% of the property’s value, although you will need to pay LMI.
8. Prepare Documentation
When applying for a home loan, you will need to provide various documents, including proof of income, bank statements, identification, and details of any existing debts. Having these documents ready can expedite the loan approval process.
9. Consider Government Grants and Incentives
The Queensland government offers several grants and incentives to assist homebuyers, such as the First Home Owner Grant (FHOG) and stamp duty concessions. Research the available programs and determine if you are eligible for any financial assistance.
10. Work with a Solicitor or Conveyancer
Engage a solicitor or conveyancer to handle the legal aspects of your house and land package purchase. They can help review contracts, conduct property searches, and ensure that all legal requirements are met.
Conclusion
Financing house and land packages in Southeast Queensland requires careful planning and consideration. By understanding your budget, exploring loan options, seeking pre-approval, and preparing the necessary documentation, you can secure the financing needed to build your dream home. Additionally, taking advantage of government grants and incentives can further ease the financial burden. With the right approach, you can navigate the financing process smoothly and embark on the exciting journey of homeownership in Southeast Queensland.
