In real life

Epilogue

10 months later

"I'll pick you up at Tyler and Troye's at eight, okay?"

I rolled my eyes and chuckled lightly at my boyfriend. "Yes Jack, we've been over this five times."

He sighed. "Yeah I know, I just want to make sure everything is sorted out. Don't want you walking around alone in London after dark."

"That's very sweet of you, but you need to leave before you're late to that meeting. Come on, off you go!"

I waved my hand towards the bakery's entrance and Jack nodded.
He pulled me into a quick kiss over the counter before walking away.

"Have a good day at work love!" he called over his shoulder.

"You too!"

He turned around in front of the door and made a heart shape with this hands while making kissing noises with his mouth. "Love yooouuu!"

I focused on whipping off the counter and shook my head in amusement. "Love you too idiot", I muttered under my breath.

Jack left and the day went on as usual. I took people's orders, chatted with the baker at the back of the shop while she was making the delicious goodiness we were selling and kept an eye on some pastries that were baking while said baker was in the bathroom.

It didn't seem like long before I was packing up my things to leave and Troye strolled into the bakery.

"Taylor!" he said.

"Troye!"

"You ready to go?"

"Yeah, just got to tell Melinda that I'm leaving, give me one sec."

"Oh no, that's okay darling, you can leave!" came Melinda's voice from the back of the shop.

I laughed. "Looks like we're leaving then!"

I grabbed my backpack and the little paper bag I had saved for the two of us and followed Troye out the door.

The air outside was quite pleasant, only the winds gave away the fact that summer was leaving London. I took a deep breath and smiled at the busy streets, people hurrying back and forth while talking in loud voices.

We set off down the street, Troye talking excitedly about this new song he was writing.

"This is gonna be a good one, I can feel it in my guts", he said while dodging a man in a suit that was hurrying down the street.

"Is this the song you're going to perform at VidCon?" I asked.

He nodded eagerly. "Definitely. It's going to be perfect for when we reveal troyler."

I saw how Troye got a dreamy, far away look in his eyes at the thought of him and Tyler coming out as a couple and smirked at him. "You really love that guy, don't you?"

Troye grinned. "Well, of course! More than nutella."

I snapped my fingers. "Right, nutella! I almost forgot."

I slung my backpack off my shoulder and dug through it while walking, almost knocking over an important looking woman in the process.

"Watch where you're going, young lady!" she scowled.

I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry! I will... Like... Yeah."

The lady shook her head and disappeared down the street while I was left with a laughing Troye. I smacked him on the shoulder and gave him the paper bag I had finally been able to find in my backpack.

"Shut it and be grateful. I brought your favourite."

Troye opened the bag and his smile widened. "Nutella cream puffs!" he cheered.

We continued walking down the street while munching on our sweet treats. The sky above us was grey, but our mood was bright as the sun. It was a good day. And to be fair, it was a pretty good life.

"Life is good", Troye said.

I turned my head slowly and stated at him with wide eyes. "Mind reader", I whispered.

He stared back and whispered: "I'm Edward Cullen."

We stared at each other for a solid five seconds before we burst out laughing simultaneously. We laughed so hard that we actually had to stop for a minute and catch our breaths. When we finally calmed down I felt something hit my forehead. I scrunched up my face as a single raindrop ran down my nose and past my lips. At the same time a drop hit Troye as well. He looked up at the sky.

"This weather", he said and made a face.

I nodded. "Yeah, it isn't very charming. Hopefully it will be over soon."

Troye nodded, but then something seemed to hit him and he said with an amused expression: "It better be, or I'm going to get up there and change it myself!"

I grinned and decided to play along, remembering the conversation we had had oh so many moths ago. "You can always try."

"I won't just try, I will succeed!"

I smiled at him fondly. "Aren't we lucky that we have you then, Troye Sivan."

Author's note: That's it guys. That's the epilogue of In Real Life. Thanks to everybody who have helped me and supported me through this whole thing, you are amazing.
