Curing His Love Allergy

Chapter 39 - The Beginning of the End Part 1

When I woke up the next morning beside France, I could only manage a smile. When I think back on the events of last night, a shiver runs down my spine. France's heavy arm is sprawled around my waist.

I try my best to remove myself from underneath him. I proceed to pick up my discarded clothes on the floor. I rush into my bathroom to ready myself for the day's events.

Before I head into the shower, I stop to look in the mirror; proof of last night's events is sprawled on my neck and shoulder. A small smile tugs on my lips. I'm sure France has it worse than me since my nails were digging into his back.

I step away from the mirror to take a shower. When I finish, I catch my hair in a ponytail. For today, I wear a pair of shorts and a sweater to conceal the evidence of last night's events.

When I exit the bathroom, France is sitting on the edge of my bed, fully clothed. I'm conflicted since I'm glad he's decent if my aunt comes, but his abs are beautifully sculpted, and I loved touching them and seeing them contract under my touch.

When he sees me, he smiles and walks up to me, pulling me in for a quick kiss. "What was that for?" I ask him.

"Just for being you," he says.

"I'm gonna go down to get breakfast because we'll be leaving in a few," I tell him. When we get back from Dallas, we'll only be coming here to collect our luggage and spend the last night before we have to leave.

He pulls me back and spins me around for one more kiss. This time it is quick and full of the purest form of love. When we pull away, we stay in each other's arms, and I listen to his heartbeat, making it calm me. France is my peace.

"Can I go now?" I ask him, seeing as it doesn't look like he is going to let me go any time soon.

"Okay," he says rather reluctantly.

As I head down the stairs, I run over the plan I concocted to steal my dad's laptop to get the medical files I need. I was going to distract him and let France find what we needed. His passwords are all the same: TiaraMatthews. How original, but it is really convenient for this situation. He has something important to discuss with me, so I'll get his keycard and get it to France, and he'll find the documents.

My aunt and uncle were out, so it was just France and me. For breakfast, I had a granola bar and a bottle of water. I couldn't really eat with all the nerves I was feeling. By the time France came down with our bags, I was ready after having written a note to my aunt and uncle. I left it on the table where they would be sure to see it.

I carried some other snacks for the road since France hasn't eaten yet. He volunteered to drive, so I let him. On the ride up to Dallas, the conversation flowed easily, last night having brought us closer than ever.

"If I go to Juilliard and you go to NYU, I was thinking that we could rent a place together," I tell him, nudging him into the conversation about living together from the other day.

I look over at him and see the wind whipping his hair all around his face. "Really?" he asks, his eyes lighting up at my proclamation.

"Yeah, it would be more convenient for our relationship, and both schools are not even thirty minutes apart," I tell him, smiling at his adorable expression. When we stop at a stop light, I unbuckle my seatbelt and lean over for a kiss. It is quick and entails all the emotions I am feeling. "Of course, we will have to work to pay for rent and utilities. Are you ready for all that responsibility?"

"Anything to be with the girl I love," he says, reaching over and entwining his hands with mine.

We then started making plans, even though neither of us got into the colleges yet, but the prospect of the future is good to plan and think about, especially if it's with the person you love.
