Epilogue

Emily's pov

"We can consider it a sleepover, what do you think?" He provokes, trying to sugarcoat what his real intentions are, while I apply my mascara in concentration. It happens that to concentrate at such an action, I need to gap my mouth in an O-shape, which isn't what he's looking for as a response. He waits until i apply it on both my eyelashes before i speak.

"Jaden" I pause to look at his reflection in the mirror "It's suspicious to have a sleepover with me at your house on a weekday" I say shaking my head in amusement. I look back at my reflection to make sure that the mascara is set. I don't really think it's necessary to put some makeup if we're planning to go to Rosa's, but i still like the process of applying it. Makeup feels like art and i use it with that intention.

My unnecessary thoughts were cut off when I feel a pair of warm arms wrap around my waist, pressing his front to my back as I feel his hot breath on the side of my neck.

"Why even tell them?" He whispers just against my ear, making my heart thump even more against my chest. The way my body reacts to his never gets old, always electric and immediate."you can just sneak in when they're asleep". This statement making me jolt from the relaxed state i was put in.

"I feel like I'm in a high school cheesy cliché" I chuckle setting down my mascara tube and turning around in his arms, meeting chest to chest with him. He chuckles, tightening his grip around me, as I place my palms on his chest.

"You have to get used to it" He whispers, inching his face towards mine "you have to get used to my often desires" He adds brushing his nose with mine as my eyelids instantly shut, savoring this moment.

"And why is that?" I tease him. The way I can feel his breath on my lips makes the butterflies in my stomach grow. My eyes gaze at his pink lips as they grow into a sedative smirk, the one that causes his dimples to pop. I open my eyes to looks at his beautiful blue eyes that hold so much peace and comfort.

"Because your mine now" The word leaving his lips causing my heart to almost jump out of my chest. The way he said it makes my breath hitch, because it sounds like he wants to say more.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He then throws the question in my face just as I was about to reply, catching me off guard. My stomach drops as my ears ring at the sound of the words I've been dreaming to hear for a long time, my heart thumbing against my chest as I feel tears in the back of my eyes.

"Wait what?" I say, having the second thoughts that my brain is fooling me.

"Will. You. Be. My. Girlfriend?" He says more slowly as the corners of his lips tilt upwards, display a small, shy smile. So I'm hearing him correctly and I'm not fantasizing. My lips grow into a full grin as I look deep into his beautiful eyes.

"Yes" I say lowly, really wanting to see the anticipation in his eyes.

"What?" He asks, his features shift to insecurity which instantly makes my face fall.

"I said yes yes yes" I said excitedly wrapping my arms around his neck and engulfing him in a tight hug as I bury my face in his shoulder. He chuckles before lifting me off the floor by his grip on my waist, making me squeal. I pull my head from his shoulder to meet his gaze.

"Are you sure it's not too soon?" I ask feeling nervous all of a sudden.

"We've lost a lot of time already, either fighting or too scared to confess" He said looking at me as if I'm something he's been looking for far too long and finally got it "and I want to make up for all the lost time" He says nudging his nose with mine. I bite my bottom lip and nod at his statement, it making so much sense.

I'm tired of caring so much about what people say, to the point that I've let it affect my life in many different aspects. He's right. We've lost a lot of time finding our way to each other and we should make it up to ourselves.

In one swift action, he crashes his lip to mine cutting me from my thoughts and preventing me to think any much longer. His lips soft against mine own satisfying my need for him. His fingers running through my hair as my fingers grab on the hair at the back of his head, making him groan.

Memories flash in my head at this moment. Memories that built the base of my feelings towards him.
Memories that wrote our story.

From the first time laying eyes on him in the restaurant to the supermarket incident to our confessing moment under the rain. It feels like decades yet a couple of minutes.

And I think after all this time, all this fighting, all this stubbornness, hurt and back and forth, it was totally worth the wait.
