My Bonus Chapters will talk about their first 'I love you', what happened after chapter 34 like their first Christmas together, Rory's funeral and all that jazz.

1st November 2028

(7 years after it all started)

We're 25 now. I know, weird right? It feels like we were 18 again months ago but no- here we are. A few updates from the past 7 years you missed- Zach has yet to move on. He's had maybe one hookup and after that had a panic attack that Louis and I had to calm him down from. But he's slowly getting better and Rory's family as well as I have been helping him through it all as we all helped each other through her death.

Now I'll skip all the small talk and get real with you.

It's been shit. The first 2 years after Rory's passing were the hardest for me. It was horrible, at one point I found myself calling her number, completely forgetting until I got her 'talk after the beep'.

I cried. I cried a lot. And so from then on, every time I missed her I just called that number, until I couldn't anymore. Someone new had it and I just had to sniffle and apologise, saying I called the wrong number when in reality I had memorised her digits by heart.

But slowly, I've been building up happiness.

Oh my god I almost forgot! We graduated! It was beautiful, I ended up getting Valedictorian because I'm a smart, badass bitch and beat Louis in grades. Suck my dick-

He wouldn't say no to that.

But I'm sorry, I've gone off track. 2022 was my grief stage, and then 2023 I gradually healed myself, 2024, Louis and I almost broke up. That was one of the worst things I had ever experienced.

I thought I caught him cheating on me at a party. Turns out it was just his cousin who looks so fucking similar to him. We had our argument and when he pulled in his cousin Charlie, it made so much sense.

We worked it out and moved on. And now I lay on my side, tracing the man's features with my fingers and following the curve of his upper lip.

My lord, let me tell you this man became so fine. So, so hot. Like- I know before he had the looks, but as we grew, we've matured and so have our features.

Louis' nose scrunched up as I trailed along his cheekbone. "What are you doing?" He grumbled, his morning voice deep and husky.

"Picking your nose for you. What does it look like?" I said snarkily, tracing up his nose now.

"I thought you wouldn't even clean my nose bleed for me?" he smirked, slowly fluttering open his eyes, Louis was blessed with with naturally long lashes. I'm so jealous, it's unfair!

"Shush," I hushed him, going along his right eyebrow. His hand reached up and caught my wrist, flipping us so he hovered above me.

"I love you beneath me," he said quietly, looking down at me with his eyes that made me melt.

"Stop looking at me like that," I squirmed underneath his gaze, his grip keeping me underneath him.

"Like what?" Louis tilted his head, a grin on his face.

"I dunno, like that," I shrugged, not meeting his gaze.

"You're not even looking at me," he complained, pressing his lips to the corner of my mouth.

I sighed and moved my head to meet his where our noses brushed together from being so close together.

His breath fanned my face and I curled my lip at his morning breath. "Brush your teeth motherfucker," I groaned, pushing him off me.

"You're terrible," he huffed, walking over to our bathroom.

That's right bitches, we moved in together. I designed the interior whilst he designed the building plan, so we built the house to fit our wants. It turned out perfect, in a simple, natural cottage look.

I've taken a career as a lawyer, and Louis is studying to become an architect. And I know he'll achieve it with only a few months left before he gets his big job.

I got out of the bed and walked over to him, picking up my own tooth brush and tooth paste. Louis wrapped his free hand around my stomach, pressing my back to his chest.

His very naked chest.

It was warm, and sturdy, with a 6 pack, or maybe an 8 pack? I don't know. I could still feel it through my thin pyjama shirt however.

His grey sweats hung low on his waist, showing off his prominent v-line. Louis still did swimming, meaning he worked out a lot and had that hot swimmer bod, as well as a tan from the outside pools he sometimes swims in.

I got lucky with him. His dark brown hair I could run my hands through, his green emerald eyes I could stare into forever, his love language being touch however me being the only person he could stand touching him.

I spat out my remaining toothpaste and washed my mouth off, leaning up to kiss Louis who had finished before me.

"That's better," I grinned, dragging him into our room and making him twirl me.

"You're in a good mood this morning," Louis smiled, an actual genuine smile I had slowly been getting used to see after so long without it.

"I am," I admitted, trying to twirl him before grabbing underneath his leg and back- dipping him. I wasn't strong enough and we toppled to the ground- I landing on him.

"Weak ass," Louis muttered, holding our bodies together by my hips.

"You love my weak ass," I kissed his jaw, earning a sigh from the man below me.

"I do," He grinned cheekily, raising one hand and slapping my butt cheek with it. I yelped and scowled at him.

"That hurt you bitch," I scolded him, going to get up.

"I'm sorry. Want me to kiss it better?" He kept me in place. I rolled my eyes and laid my head on his chest.

His hand went under my shorts and rubbed the ass cheek he slapped, the skin tender because of his massive hand that fucking made it feel like it was about to fall off.

The sun lit up one side of his face and I brought my hand up to cup that jaw that was in the sunlight, the ring on my left hand glinting under the sun. The jewel sat upon my ring finger.

"I love you," I pressed my lips to his, in a slow kiss, pouring everything I have for him. His hand moved from my ass to my lower back, subconsciously pushing me into him whilst the other dragged up to the back of my neck, twisting his head lightly to deepen the kiss.

"And I love you, Annaliese soon to be Gray."

"Only 24 more days."
