Chapter 11

The Final Days

I wake up Wednesday morning and realize I'm late for my first class. I do this Thursday and Friday but I don't go to any of my classes. I sleep in till 1:40 PM and wake up to the smell of bacon. I open my eyes and see Erik cooking bacon naked in the kitchen. I get up and tip toe over to him. I hug him from behind and he jumps a bit.

"Hey I'm a top! You know that!" He says. I laugh and he makes me a plate if bacon. "Sleep well? I can't believe today is our last day!"

"I know! It's crazy! And you get to stay on track to becoming a doctor in California!" I say.

"Yes! And what will you be doing?" He asks.

"I dont know yet, but something for the club." I say.

"Do you get paid?" He asks.

"Yea I think so." I say. We eat and then we go shopping for clothes that will fit the California climate.

"What time is it?" Erik asks after we're done shopping.

"5:30 PM." I say.

"Wanna see a movie?" He asks.

"Sure!" I say. We look for a movie to see and settle on a scary movie called The Conjuring. I squeeze his hand the whole time, and end up being the only person who screams during the whole movie. After the movie ends we eat dinner at the Gardens Mall and then head back to campus. We cuddle on the couch and drink some wine while watching Friends.

"Well today has been a productive day!" He says.

"It feels so weird leaving the only school I've wanted to go to since 7th grade!" I say. He tickles my stomach and I break out into fits of laughter.

"Cheer up! At least you'll be away from Tyler and I'll be away from Gavin...I didn't even know he was gay!" He says.

"Let's not think about that right now." I say. We watch two episodes if Friends and then head to bed.

***The Next Morning***

Erik wakes me up at 3:30 in the morning. I put on some Uggs, Jeans, a white shirt and a tan cashmere sweater (typical white girl). I make the cab driver drive us to Starbucks (again...typical white girl) and I get a Vanilla Bean Frappachino. We get to the airport around 7:00 AM. We get breakfast at McDonalds and wait around for a bit for our gate to open. When it does, it's 9:00 AM.

"Ready babe?" He asks me as he gets up.

"Sure." I say. He holds his hand out to for me and I take it. We talk hand in hand onto the plane and sit down. I take the window seat and watch the plane take off. Erik takes a nap while I look at all the clouds.

"Pretty aren't they?" Says a voice next to me. I look over and there's a fairly attractive man sitting next to a sleeping Erik.

"Yea very!" I say.

"First time on a plane?" He asks me.

"No...second actually." I say. We talk about San Francisco, Erik, and NOVA until the plane lands. We get off and I see the man walk in the opposite direction, never to be seen by me again. We walk to baggage claim and wait two hours for our luggage.

"How are we supposed to get to the house?" Erik asks me. I look around and see a man holding a sign that says "Erik and Ryder <3". The man leads us to a limo and drives us up into the mountains. After a long 45 minute drive we finally arrive at the new house. I get out my side of the cab and see where we'll be living. Its a wooden, modern house along a river. Erik grabs some suitcases while the driver grabs the rest. I walk through the front door and find a loft area, over looking the living room: A leather couch with a bearskin rug in front of a cobblestone fireplace and a mahogany table with flowers behind it. A sliding glass door next to the couch leads to a deck with a bar over the river. I walk down the hallway to my right to find a bathroom and our bedroom: A wooden frame along the floor with with white sheets, a skinny brown blanket and lime green pillows in a gray room with orchids. I hear Erik call my name and i head downstairs, through the living room into the kitchen: A small room with granite countertops and a small window above the sink viewing the driveway. I look into the window and see the cab drive away. A pop startles me and i look over at Erik.

He pours me a glass of champagne and we snuggle on the couch, the fireplace lit. I look out the slider to see the sun setting. I feel Eriks lips press to my temple and down my jawline finally reaching my lips.

"So," he says interrupting the kiss, "You like the house?" He goes back to kissing me.

"Yea! Its beautiful! We should throw a party!" He kisses me again.

"Your starting one in my pants right now." He caresses my nack and picks me up, leading me to the bedroom where he plays "Kiss Me" by Ed Sheeran on his phone.

***December 24***

I pour some glasses of wine and bring them out to the deck. Ciara, my Mom, Gavin and his boyfriend are sitting at the table eating dinner when i bring them their glasses. I sit with them and we eat potato casserole that mom brought. 

"Delicious Mama Hawkins!" Ciara says with a mouthful of casserole.

"Yes, Mrs.H. Phenomenal!" Gavins boyfriend Michael says. I hear my name being called from the kitchen. I walk in and Eriks leaning against the counter in a robe.

"Get dressed, everyones outside!" Instead, he drops the robe and pulls me close, kissing me passionatly. He lifts me up onto the counter. He slides his hand in my pants and gently fingers me. He stops suddenly.

'Follow me." He says. We go into the living room and he sits me on the rug in front of the tree and tells me to look hard. I see a small box hanging on one of the branches. I grab it and open it to find a diamond ring sitting in a black velvet box.
