Paper Lives

Chapter 10

Quentin's POV
The next day I woke up with her resting her head on my chest once again. But today we had something planned. The time I didn't want to go with her on her adventure when I was in agloe was the worse decision I had ever made. Soo..
"Morning"
"Morning M"
She gives me a quick kiss
"You ready?"
"Always"
I decided that I should follow what I actually wanted in the first place. It was to be with Margo. Were going on another trip but this time with even more things to do.
We planned it all last night after coming back home from the walk.
"I love that enthusiasm you have in you q. Haha you're cute when you're brave."
She looks at me and I pull her close. I give her a kiss on her forehead. Then she immediately blushed and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. We packed our stuff last night so I'm guessing well be fine. But I forgot one thing. I had to tell my parents. Oh god. Here goes nothing.

"Hey mom"
"Hi honey. How's it going there?you haven't called since the day you left. We were so worried."
This made me hard to tell the truth. So I bucked up and told her everything.
She was crying at first but I told her this was what I really wanted and what I've been dreaming to do. To Live with my miracle. Do things beyond my imagination. Live my life with incredible adventures before I die. Look into Margo's eyes everyday and wake up to her beside me.
Then my mom finally agreed with my decision.
"Q, as much as we do not want you to go but... This is what you want. And we as your parents need to give you what you want. Because chances are, you know best. We love you quentin. Make sure you stay in touch. Check your bank account later, well cash in for your incredible adventures. Oh and one thing. Send us postcards from around the world honey. Well miss you."
"Mom I love you soooo much . I'm gonna miss you and dad and I'll never stop thanking you for what you did today. You both are the best parents ever."
I hung up the phone with a tear dripping from my eye. Margo came out shortly and asked.
"What's wrong baby?"
"Baby?? Since when did you start calling me names? Haha"
I got up and grabbed her by the waist and kissed her hard.
"Haha I love you."
"I love you too"
"But what happened why are you crying"
"Nothing. I just missed you"
"What?? I was only gone for 3 minutes."
"Haha I miss having you by my side"
She kissed me after that and put some clothes on. Then I took a shower and got ready.
We both hopped on to my minivan. I looked at her one last time before I started the engine. She looked back and said
"You ready for an adventure youll never forget quentin Jacobsen?"
"I sure am ms. Spiegelman."
"That's ms. Jacobsen in a few more years."
Then we had this awkward silence that lasted for a while.
Then we both laughed it out and head for the road.

Margo's POV
We both are in the minivan on our adventure. I'm glad I came for him. It was worth it. My love for him is worth it. Quentin's worth it.
All I care about is that I'm with him. And we can never be separated. I'd wouldn't matter if there's going to he bad days. As long as I'm with him, there's no place I would rather else be.
This was what I've always dreamt of. Being with who I chose to be with and doing the most extraordinary things.
