In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

Last chapter?!

"This is beautiful. I mean it's actually amazing." I smiled laying in this humongous bed in this amazing treehouse after just having the best sex.

"I'm glad you like it." He smiled kissing my cheek and then my neck.

It was really early, like 8am I think but we went to bed so early the previous night because we were so tired from travelling here on a Friday after our lectures.

"Hey breakfast just opened we could hop down there now." Richard offered.

"Sounds like an excellent idea." I smiled at him as I watched him get out of bed and put some clothes on.

"I don't want to get dressed." I moaned. "I'm way too tired."

"Then go back to sleep." He laughed at me.

"No I'm not sleepy tired, I'm just lazy and don't want to move." I laughed back at him and so he grabbed my hands and pulled me up.

"Come on. We're not wasting today, we have lots to do." Richard explained and then went into the bathroom to brush his teeth whilst I got ready.

"Hey you know you're fancy friends?" I asked Richard as we walked around some pretty incredible gardens and forest land in the area.

"Harry and Alicia are not fancy." He rolled his eyes.

"They're rich, so they're fancy." I laughed.

"What about them?"

"Is that going to be us some day?" I asked.

"Do you want that to be us someday?" Richard smiled.

"I don't know, the fancy house, married with a kid... it all seems so perfect." I explained.

"Things don't have to be like that to be perfect." Richard nodded going from holding my hand to putting his arm around me.

"I know, they're just so... special. You can tell they belong together. And their kid is amazing. They have money to get whatever they need and they both jobs they love." I continued.

"Is that what you want?" He asked.

"Is it what you want?" I questioned him back.

"I'm good with anything, as long as your involved and you're happy." Richard kissed my temple.

"I love you, you know that? Who even says stuff like that other than my perfect boyfriend." I laughed at him.

"Well I try." He smiled. "I love you jen, and you know we've been through a lot. I just want you to be happy."

"You know, I am so incredibly happy right now. Thinking back on maisie and Lily and the self harm and everything that broke me... I just see that as forever ago, because these last few weeks with you have been incredible. You've helped me with everything Rich." I smiled leaning my head on him.

"I'm just glad you're back." Richard nodded.

"This is a great idea." I laughed sitting on the floor crossed legs with Richard behind me hugging me from behind.

"It's a terrible idea." Lily moaned sitting on the sofa with Matt in the common room of our dorms.

"A holiday is something you can look forward to Lily. It'll make you want to get out of the damn chair and go somewhere." Richard explained. "You know if it's the money... I'll pay I really don't mind."

"It's not the money." Lily sighed. "I just don't think it'll be practical."

"I think it's a good idea." Matt nodded staring over at his girlfriend smiling.

"What Matt? You're meant to have my back!" She kicked him.

Then everyone stopped. "You kicked me." Matt said happily.

"Well isn't that a happy reacting to violence." Richard laughed.

"No she used her legs... with force." I explained.

"I can use them, I just... I'm afraid I'm going to fall again and everything will be back to square one. I don't want to risk anything." She explained to everyone.

"You'll be fine." Matt smiled.

"We could invite the flat. Invite everyone, and make it crowded with people and know one will notice you Lily. You won't feel pressure." Richard nodded.

"That's a pretty great idea." I nodded. "Invite our flat and we can get a huge villa somewhere and it'll be cheap per person."

"Okay okay." Lily smiled. "I'm up for it. But what if I'm too fat for a bikini now I haven't done any form of exercise for nearly a year."

"You're not fat Lily." I laughed. "You're perfect how you are."

"Anyways where are we going to go?" Matt asked.

"Somewhere hot!" I nodded, "anywhere hot."

"Mallorca?" Richard asked. "My parents own a huge house out there."

"How come I never knew about this?" I stared up at him as laid back on his lap.

"Because you and my parents aren't a great mix." He laughed.

"Well would they mind us using it?" Matt asked.

"I'll check when it's free and book us in a week." Richard nodded. "I have to get going because I have early lectures but ask your flat mates tonight yeah? We'll all get planning." He smiled.

"Okay, see ya later Hun." I smiled kissing him quickly before he left.
