Her and the Basketball Champion

are you shitting me?

Jonas

My hands are covering her eyes as we walk through the double doors of our building.

She still has no idea that I made this whole thing for her, because of her inhuman obsession with anything books. 

"How long? I'm getting impatient babe." She whines and I laugh lightly.

"Not long, just a few more steps." I say, slowing to a stop.

"Okay you ready baby?" She nods her head and I slowly take me hands away from her eyes, standing behind her as she takes in her surroundings.

She turns to face me and her eyes are gleaming, her mouth open in shock.

"Woah." Her voice is all awe as she drinks everything in.

"I want to show you something else." I say and begin to drag her down the corridor to a set of double wooden doors.

I push them open and shut them behind us.

The room is filled with bookshelves, copies and versions and new and old and clean and fresh books.

Books, books, books.

All for her.

"Are you fucking shitting me right now, Jonas? This is amazing." Her delight brings such an intense happiness to me that I reach out and wrap my arms around her waist, giving her a soft kiss to her lips. 

She pulls back and smiles at me.

"This is all yours." I whisper, and she stares at me like she's never seen me before.

"No. What? How? Why? When?" She's looking around again, and walking through the bookshelves, running her hands along the spines.

"This whole thing I did because of you. For you. Those five years were the worst without seeing you, and I know how much you love books and reading and shit, so I dedicated it all to you, and you basically own all of these books, and all of the authors who rent this space out? They're your clients."

She looks like she's going to faint.

"I love you." She sounds out of breath, like she's been running to catch up with what I'm saying, and then she's jumping on me and i stumble to keep a hold on her.

She's laughing and crying at the same time and I'm wiping her tears, smiling, the cheesiest grin on my face and my heart is so full in this moment.

She's gripping onto me like I'm her lifeline, and right now, she is mine.

I kiss her.

With so much of every emotion I'm feeling right now, and she smiles against my mouth, whispering how much she loves me and I do the same, holding onto her, my hand against the back of her neck as I push our bodies and lips impossibly closer together.

She feels like a cloud, so soft and free and light and I feel her tears on my tongue.

We pull away and she's still smiling at me.

I think I'm going crazy.

"I love you so much, I feel like I'm going to explode." she's breathing hard, and her eyes are shiny and deep and I feel like I'm falling.

"I love you baby." I hug her so close to me like I don't ever want to let go, and I could be stuck in this moment forever, and never get bored.

She's my life. 

I feel very mischievous right now. 

This is my last bonus chapter for this book, and it's officially at it's end. 

Thank you all so, so, so terribly much for supporting me and finishing this journey with me. I love this book with my whole heart and It would have never happened without you guys.

I'm going to miss you guys and your comments so much, but I know some of you will be there for my next book which I cannot wait to continue too. 

It's ongoing at the moment, but I'm already falling in love with it.

I hope you guys the biggest love ever, and I love you all so much you don't even understand.

Thank you one last time.

Love, 

Your Author.
