Epilogue 1: It don't get any better than this <3
~ 6 months later ~
Laim's POV
I wake up with a shy as I feel a gracious stream of sunlight warming up my face. I immediately remember where I am. I turn around and smile at Shannon. We came back from a small acoustic tour yesterday and the lads came over for a barbeque. Eleanor came over too and we were all happy to see that they get along really well. She even let El fiddle with her long, black wavy hair; and I know she feels very uncomfortable about anyone touching her hair. That pretty much means El is safe. I smile. She already knew the guys, but El's the first girlfriend she has met so far. And Shannon and I thought it was time we celebrated me moving in with her. Two birds killed with one stone, she had said.
"What are you thinking about?" she asks when she opens her eyes again. "I'm thinking about how you couldn't leave my side for the past 24 hours. Her cheeks flush a light shade of red and she lets her eyes flutter close again. "That's because I missed you..." She snuggles closer to me and lays her hand on my bare chest. Her eyes fly open again and she smiles teasingly. I inhale sharply and try to keep my focus on her beautiful eyes. "Don't do that..." I whisper as she licks her lips and trails a finger down my side. A big smile spreads across my face. "You asked for it," I grumble as I wrap an arm around her and burry us in her big blue bed sheets.

After rubbing a towel over my head I reach over to Shannon and gently ruffle through her shower-wet hair. She smiles and presses a soft kiss against my lips. "I love taking showers with you. I love you." Her declaration fills the air around us and it fills my whole body. My fingertips start to tickle and I say the first thing that comes to my mind. "I love you as much as home. It always feels like coming home when I'm coming back to you. And I feel like I'll never stop coming back to you."
Whoa oh
My bags were packed from the day I was born
Knew there was something I was living for
I found my place in a runaway car
And I never looked back, never looked back
I never was much for falling in line
Had a long-time fire in this heart of mine
I may look crazy in momma's eyes but I don't mind
[Chorus:]
Could be a dead-end road
I could be chasing down a broken dream
But I don't even know
Just to where this thing is gonna lead
It's a mystery
Oh and ain't life a trip?
No, it don't get better than this
No, don't get better than this
I kinda like it when I walk out the door
Not knowing what the good Lord's got in store
There's a freedom in believing there's something more
Yeah, one more chance, one more day
To say what I need to say
[Chorus:]
Could be a dead-end road
I could be chasing down a broken dream
But I don't even know
Just to where this thing is gonna lead
It's a mystery
Oh and ain't life a trip?
No, it don't get better than this
Getting by on just a little sleep and coffee cups
Learning through the downs, living for the ups
All I know is that I feel alive, and it's a real good ride
[Chorus:]
Could be a dead-end road
But it's the only life I've ever known
No matter where this goes
You know I wouldn't change a single thing
But I don't even know
Just to where this thing is gonna lead
It's a mystery
Oh and ain't life a trip?
No it don't get better than this
It's a trip and it don't get better than this
Oh, no, it don't get better, no
Hey!
(It don't get better than this) Yeah yeah yeah
(It don't get better than this) Oh no
(It don't get better than this)
It don't get better than this

Hey there! thank you for still following up on my story or for deciding to read it just now xd
I'm really sorry it's been months since I updated! I said I was still considering an epilogue and back then I already had some ideas and this is the first one XD
I hope the next Epilogue won't take as long as this one took to publish xd The concept will probably be the same as this one: based on a song.
I hope you enjoyed this little (let your imagination work) chapter :) and I know it's really short, but I ablolutely wanted to do a romantic one for a change!
XXX thenk you for reading my story an I hope you're still enjoying it xd
