Sour Mangoes

Epilogue

(POV shift)

DING DONG

"Coming!" I ran down the stairs to open the door.

"Avery!" I exclaimed.

We hugged in the doorway.

I soon walked him into the living room.

"I didn't think you would come over!"

I had nothing but a smile on my face.

"Did you think I would forget your 17th birthday?"

I chuckled at his remark.

"Yeah, you would," But I didn't dare say that aloud.

We kissed.

We ended up in the position of me being on top of him.

He gave me a little nudge to get off him.

He then looked as if he just remembered something.

"Oh, I forgot! I got you a present, but It's in my car. Hold on."

He steps outside, and gets something from the backseat.

He walks back inside, a thick box in his hands.

He places it onto the coffee table.

I gently unwrap it, saving the wrapping paper.

Inside, was a gaming console.

I looked up at him, ashamed.

He had put his hand on the back of his neck sheepishly. 

He got me the gaming console that he had wanted.

"Why?" Was all I could ask.

"Uh, I thought It would be a good gift? You know, we could do couple's bonding."

I stared at him, unamused.

He then pulled a small box out his jacket pocket.

"Yeah, I have another gift, as my plan B."

I jokingly ask, "Is this a marriage proposal?"

"Yeah, okay, sure."

I was intrigued.

He handed the small wrapped box to me.

After taking the wrapping paper off, I pop open the top of the lid.

I was shocked at what I saw inside.

"Soooo? Do you like it?" He asked.

I took the cherry ring-pop out of the box.

"Thank you so much," I say sarcastically.

He giggled.

I took the candy wrapper off, and stuck the candy into my mouth.

At least it was cherry flavor.

He pecked my cheek.

"You're welcome, darling."

I blushed, but cringed at the pet name.

I throw out the remains of the ring-pop after I finished it.

I meet Avery back in the living room.

"Can we go to your room? I'm tried," He asked me.

He probably pulled another all-nighter .

"Sure, I don't mind."

We walk upstairs.

We enter my room.

He stretched.

"Same as I remember," He remarked.

He removed his jacket, and asked for joggers.

I tossed him a pair.

He then plopped himself onto my bed.

He got comfortable as if it was his own.

"Sleep with me," He whined.

He sounded like a child.

I couldn't help but let out a small laugh.

He now had a grumpy face on.

"Okay, okay, fine."

I tied long my hair into a low ponytail.

It was to my back, now.

I get into bed next to him.

He put his head on my chest.

I put my hand on the back of his head, and my arm on his waist.

I played with his hair, and watched as he started to fall asleep.

"One day, we'll get married, Avery."

He mumbled, "Okay, sure—"

"—you weirdo."

Totally not attacked at all.
