Chapter theme song : Falling like the stars by James Arthur

Dear james,

Our place feels like home now. The place you spent almost you entire life or the house you grew in, aren't always 'home'. Home isn't a residential space, home isn't a property. Home is a feeling, a assurance, a connection.

Home is where you feel safe, where you can be yourself, where there are people you love and who love you back. Home is something precious and James, you bring me home.

Any house or flat or cottage, any place with you and your love is home. You are my home.

You think the same maybe, I don't know. But I hope I am your home. You listen to a one direction song which may help me to express myself right now.

Baby, we could be enough
And it's alright
Calling out for somebody to hold tonight
When you're lost, I'll find a way, and I'll be your light
You'll never feel like you're alone
I'lI make this feel like home

Yes, this is it. James, you are my way, my light, my home. And all I wish is to be yours. You think that you don't deserve me but oh my you couldn't be more wrong.

You deserve everything in World and I may not be able to give you everything in the world but I will give you every single thing I can. I can't imagine not loving you. The days without you were like days without a major part of me. We have been together for years now, we are best friends, lovers, soulmates. We are everything teenagers dream of.

I have had you for so long, you know every thing about me and I do about you, but still I can't get myself to say all this to you. To your face. You said you still get butterflies, well James I still get dumbstruck when you wear that black suit. I still get mesmerised by your smile and the way you blush.

The little songs you sing for me. You love music, you respect music. The songs you sing for me, you find pieces of us in them. Well I wish that someday I will be a critical piece of music for you.

I am so happy that you are finally sleeping in our bed and not on the sofa. You finally look at peace and you look happy which makes me happy. I found the ring in the nightstand.

The little note attached to it said,
'Happy birthday Liv, will you give me the honour of celebrating each one of your birthdays, as a best friend/ lover/soulmate/HUSBAND ?
P.S. even if you say no, the ring is yours baby ;)'

You were out with Ishmael and I cried so much James, so much. I finally understand why you lost your cool on me. You were going to propose and you were shattered by the thought that the girl you were going to ask to spend the rest of your life with just kissed someone else. James baby, I can't. I just can't stop this feeling.

You never stopped loving me even when you were this broken. I know I treated you badly and I can't forgive myself for that now. But I won't you telling you about me finding the ring because I want you to have your time.
Someday we won't laugh about this but for sure this won't hurt us anymore because we will be together, we will be a family, won't we?

Always yours,
Olivia

I closed the notebook went to bed. James was already asleep he had had a long day. I kissed him on his forehead whispered a soft good night and snuggled in.

James was teasing Ishmael about something as they entered the house. Ishmael looked annoyed but not in a annoyed-annoyed way more like he wanted James to stop but at the same time didn't.

James noticed me put down Ishmael's bag down, walked upto me smiled and kissed me on the forehead.

Ishmael scoffed, "you straight people."
I looked at him in awe, my jaw dropped and trying myself to stop laughing.
"Did you just -"

"Eh, he is just mad because his crush called him IISHH in front of me." James said teasingly.
"Hey, he isn't my crush! Okay!" Ishmael blushed "I mean he is but he isn't just my crush he is my boyfriend."
"What?" Both me and James practically screamed in shock and excitement.

"Yeah, he was here for stay overs couple of time before. At that time we were friends but then we started dating." Ishmael said looking for something in his bag probably to avoid eye contact with us.

"Ohh yeahh, wasn't his name Kevin he is a sweet kid, I like him. I remember you being all lovey dovey around him and stuttering. Gosh, you were like a high school girl." I said teasing.

"lovey-dovey" he looked at me and james up and down. James was holding me by waist and my arms were wrapped around him. "Seriously? Nope you guys got no right to say that."

"Ahmmm, protective." James chimed in "Why don't you invite him for a stay over over the weekend."
Ishmael's face lit up, "really, I can!?"

"I don't see why not, your term ended results are out, you have two free months. Live it kiddo. Right liv?" James said.
"Obviously, have him over we will order in something great and it will be fun."
Ishmael picked his bag and ran to his room all happy and excited. I smiled at him as we ran  past me.

James turned to me picking me up in his arms, "So our little kiddo has a boyfriend."
I stroked my hand through his hair and mumbled a yes knowing he was upto something.
"Well then while he invites his boyfriend over and we have the great oder in food, let me make up a appetite for you, girlfriend." James said showering my face with kisses.

I giggled and looked at his brown eyes, "Okay boyfriend, lets go. Put me down then."
"Why? Going to our room doesn't necessarily mean you walking there. Let me carry you milady." James said grinning.
"Okay then, mylord." I said laughing and giggling.
