For You, Anything

Chapter 19

The Next Day
Autumn POV

I woke up feeling more refreshed then I have in 3 years. I don't feel small or exhausted.  Well exhausted for other reasons. And one reason for that is because of the woman laying right next to me in her bed, in her house.

As I watch Ava sleep, don't judge me she's beautiful, I see the woman who has brought peace to me. She stresses me out but damn it's just because I love her so much. Did I think I would love her this much, hell no. I didn't even think I would like her. But she's such a free spirit and has the biggest heart for everyone she cares about and I just so happen to be one of those people. The thought alone makes me smile.

"I can feel you staring at me baby." Ava says with her eyes still closed.

"That's because I am baby." I said teasing.
Her eyes open and the sun that's coming from behind me reflect right into them and they enhance her hazel eyes they come off as grey. "You are so beautiful." I whisper out.

"Well that's a lot coming from someone who looks like you every day. So thank you." She said sitting up and holding out her arms so I can scoot into her, which I do immediately. I love being in her arms. I feel so safe. I never felt like this in all my life. The only thing that's keeping me from being too happy is the fact she hasnt talked to me about New York yet. I thought she would yesterday but we all just ended up hanging out and celebrating the win. I don't want to bring it up because I know I'm scared of what her answer will be. I know I would be more than willing to go with her. There's nothing keeping me here. I'm not from here there's no family aside from the one I made here but like Liz said they'd all stay here anyway. And I'm just a receptionist so it's not like I have a career I'm leaving behind.

Her voice broke me out of my thoughts. "You're brain is really loud Autumn. What's wrong?"

I tilted up from her chest and looked up to her face that's smiling down at me. "Have you-have you decided what you're going to do?"

Her face fell and I could tell she knew what I was referring to. "Yes."

I sat up to look at her face better and my eyebrows knotted together. "Yes? As in you're going?"

She nodded. "Yes I'm going. It's an amazing opportunity. I know my dad would want me to if he was still here." She said with a smile looking at me.

My heart clenched. I'm happy for her don't get me wrong. I won't be selfish and tell her not to go. But damn I'm going to miss her.
"I'm proud of you Ava. I know it's going to turn out amazing."

"Thank you baby." She kissed my forehead and got up to go to the bathroom. I sat there on the bed feeling defeated. "Babe?" She called from inside the bathroom.

I slid my hands down my face. "Uh yeah Ava?" I answered.

"How would you feel about moving to New York in 3 weeks?" She asked.

I wasn't really paying attention still thinking about how our relationship is going to work with her so far. "Uh that's sounds great. It should be fun." Wait what did she ask me? I got out of the bed and met her at the sink brushing her teeth. "What did you ask me Ava?"

She smiled and spit the excess toothpaste out and turned to me. "I asked how would you feel about moving to New York in 3 weeks. With me of course."

My eyes widened and I jumped into her arms. "Oh my god. Are you serious?"

She nodded. "I can't do this without the love of my life. I asked you to be my girlfriend to be by your side not so we'd be thousands of miles apart from each other. So?"

"Of course. Ugh I love you so much Ava." I say kissing her all over her face.

"Well you are more excited then me. I was nervous you were going to say no." She said with a nervous laugh still holding me in her arms. Why the hell is this woman so damn strong.

"Why would I say no? I'm not letting you out of my sight Avalyn Montez." I laughed and she cringed at her fully name.

"Please never say that again. Also never call me V. When you did it at that dinner I swear I never hated the nickname more." She said with a pout.

"I hated it when I said it. I love your name." I said pecking her lips as an apology.

"Come on." She set me down. "Let's go tell everyone the news." She grabbed my hand and we headed to the main house where everyone was because we got drunk and Miranda wasn't letting anyone drive.
