Narrator's Pov
Nora hopped around the small bookstore with her grade in hand. A vast smile was stretched across her face as she searched for the old man that was on the other side of the store, stacking horror novels on the shelves.
Nora stood behind him and lifted the folded report in front of her face, tapping Mr. Winsley on his shoulder. He turned around and came face-to-face with the dark-haired girl, looking at the paper with confusion written on his face.
"What's this?" he asked, taking the paper from Nora's hands. She didn't answer him but made a nodding motion, signaling him to open the folded page. He looked at her suspiciously, totally unaware that she had completed all of her exams.
He slowly unfolded the report and scanned the words. Not too long after some time of reading carefully, the old man's eyes widened. "You passed?" he asked breathlessly, making his disbelief visible. Mr. Winsley couldn't believe it. He believed that she was capable of anything she put her mind to, but he couldn't believe that she actually did it.
After all the hard work she had done and the stress she had gone through for the past months of preparing for this exact moment. He couldn't help but feel proud of her.
He felt a tear slip out of his eyes but quickly wiped it away not wanting to allow Nora's teasing. There's no way he was having that. "I did, isn't that so exciting? It's finally over and I can make up for all the time I spent on school, I'm a free gal now, old man," Nora bumped her fist onto his shoulder while Mr. Winsley stood there still in shock.
"I'm so proud of you Nora," He spilled out after a few minutes of silence and repeatedly looked at the paper. He pulled her into a hug and embraced her lovingly. He couldn't remember the last time he hugged her. Normally he would share a high-five if she's lucky seeing as they have a love-hate relationship.
"Thank you, I'm also very proud of me," He nodded and hugged her tighter, that was until he realized he held her for too long now and shook her off of him.
"That's enough affection, now help me, you stupid girl," he said waving her off and giving her back the paper.
She smiled smugly and folded her report once again, stuffing it in her back pocket. "So, how's Lancer?" Mr. Winsley asked, taking a book from Nora to place on the shelf. She scoffed at his side. "It's Li- you know what, call him whatever you want," She rolled her eyes and gave him two additional books.
"He's good, did I ever tell you that we made it official?", She asked whilst thinking if she did. Since she couldn't recall, she waited for the old man to answer. "No, you haven't but that's nice to know, can't wait to see how long it takes to realize how much of a crazy girl you are," He ruffled her hair and smirked, snatching a book out of her hands.
Nora huffed and got off of her knees from bending down. She walked away from him and went into the back room to get her phone. She sat down on the small stool and unlocked her phone, tapping Liam's contact.

Yeah, I know!
Nora placed her phone in her back pocket and swung her bag over her shoulder, gathering her stuff to leave the bookstore. "Hey oldie, I'm leaving!" Nora called out to Mr. Winsley, bidding her goodbyes.
"Okay, don't come back!" Mr. Winsley yelled back at her, secretly smiling while Nora rolled her eyes. She knew he liked her company.
Nora walked down the street and made a right, growing closer and closer to her beloved apartment. She breathed in the air and sighed in relief, oh, how she missed this place and her wonderful bed, she couldn't possibly forget that.
Nora finally got to her doorstep and wasted zero time welcoming herself back into her home after the days and nights she spent at Liam's. She stood in the small living room, breathing in the familiar air and sighing at the comfort of being in one of her safe spaces.
She immediately flopped herself on the bed as soon as she entered her bedroom. "God, how I've missed you," she said muffled due to her face being stuffed into the thick sheets. She stayed there longer than she intended and groaned knowing she had to get up and start her online shopping.
She got up entirely and instead of being in a pissy mood about not staying in bed longer, she was beyond excited.
Nora got her laptop out and powered it on, immediately going online and starting her shopping spree for the house she was going to prepare for her daycare.
She bought posters, a firestick, and toys for the little ones to play with. Layla offered to help her if she had too much to handle in the daycare but Nora wasn't sure if it was a good idea seeing as the parents might not be comfortable with it.
Nora sighed, drifting to her thoughts of having Layla as her babysitting buddy.
It would be fun and the kids might have more fun with them both around but what really bothered Nora was the parents' thoughts, there's only one way to find out if it's cool or not.
Nora pushed that to the back of her head and refocused her mind on her online shopping. A huge smile instantly made its way onto her face as she resumed browsing through different websites.
Nora ordered additional things that she thought would've been useful such as bowls, sippy cups, spoons, forks, and many more.
Nora was awed at the cute shapes of the different bowls she arranged. She couldn't wait to set everything up in the house she and Liam talked about.
She didn't have the money for the house presently but she did have a reasonable amount of savings for sufficient space for everyone.
Her apartment.
Nora settled on not having more than 5 children since it can be overwhelming sometimes, especially when it'll be 3/4-year-olds.
Nora's Pov
I spent two fucking hours ordering a bunch of stuff for these snotty adorable little bunnies. Liam called me while I was shopping and we were currently on the phone, talking.
"Nora, I promise you, you're going to love it," Liam said, smiling excitedly at me. I huffed and fell back onto my bed, snuggling into my coverlet. I was not looking onward to yet another surprise Liam had in store for me tomorrow.
I tried bribing him with phone sex or sitting down and watching an entire football match with him if he told me what he had planned but fuck, he refuses to tell me.
Normally the football thing works and I do keep my promises by supporting his favorite teams and him. It's nice seeing him so on edge or incredibly happy when they win.
If I had to spend the rest of my life with this loser, watching all of the football matches he was interested in, then so be it. Anything to see him happy or smile. "Okay, I'll take your word for it, pretty boy," I caved and accepted him not wanting to tell me.
He blushed at the nickname and God; it was the cutest thing ever. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing him shy.
"O-okay," He stuttered, causing me to smile. I shook my head and said goodnight then we exchanged our I love you's and I was out faster than light.
And, we're back...
I missed you guys and also, I live for all comments
