Finding You

Chapter Eighteen: I love us

Park's POV:
I don't remember when we went back to my room. I woke up with her in my arms this morning. I don't think I've ever slept so soundly. I heard another knock on the door which had woken me after about the fifth time. I walked to the door and opened to see Aaron's smiling face.

"Good morning," I told her yawning. She was still smiling widely. I looked at her confused now. Then I laughed at her, "what are you smiling about?" She almost tackled me when she hugged me.

"I didn't know your birthday was in two days," she said excited. I laughed at her again. Then she let me go and kissed my cheek. I blushed. I looked as red as a tomato.

"I didn't realize it either," I laughed, "what's the date?" I asked. She took her phone out her jean pocket.

"Today is..." she trailed off, "October 29,"
she said and her eyes widened. "YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ON HALLOWEEN!" she screamed. I told her shhh and Florence turned over.

We both laughed. I nodded at her quickly pushing her out the door. I couldn't have her waking Florence. She jumped up and down.

"We celebrate Halloween here!"she starts jumping up and down again. "Y'all get to go around knock on the doors of the workers here!"she's so adorable. Best nurse ever!

"We don't have costumes though," I chuckled. She shook her head.

"You will as of tomorrow," she said joyful again. I shrugged asking her how. "I'm gonna face time my wife in New York to help me pick!" Wife! I didn't know she had a wife! And she lives in New York!

"I didn't know you were married!" I exclaimed loudly.

She nodded, "Yup we both went to school in the medical field. Except she's a rehabilitation nurse and I'm a phycologist." She giggles at saying this.

"Why don't y'all live in the same state?" I asked her.

"Unfortunately I'm waiting for a job opportunity there to move back," she said happily. "I'm from there and I graduated from NYU," she went on to say smiling.

"What's her name?" I asked her.

"You'll meet her soon," she said laughing. I laughed at her again. She opened her arms and I ran into them. She's like my mom and I love that. I love her!

"If you can wake sleeping beauty come to breakfast," she laughed trying to fix my messy hair. I nodded and there she was standing in the door way.

"Good morning almost 14 year old," she said sassy, "and good morning mom."changing her tone to being sweet.

"Good morning sugar," she giggled. I looked at them both confused.

"Mom?" I questioned them. A bunch of surprises this morning.

"Haben wir ihm nicht gesagt, dass du mich adoptiert hast?" (Did we not tell him you adopted me?) she said to Aaron.

"ich denke nicht," (I guess not) she replied. I had no idea what they were talking about.

"sollten wir es ihm sagen?" (Should we tell him?) she asked Aaron another question. Aaron nodded.

"The reason that my dad was here last time," she paused and got excited, "was because he allowed Aaron to adopt me as her own." They both smiled and hugged. My mouth dropped open.

"Well she's my legal guardian now," she went on to say. "Just incase she adopts you too," she said sweetly. She came back next me and kissed my cheek.

"Hey go to breakfast lovebirds," she pushed us in that direction. I ran back to grab my shirt, and then ran up behind Florence and grabbed her hand. I poked her sides and she'd squeal. I'd laugh at her and she'd push me. She's also stick her tongue at me like a meanie. But I'm just as mean because I'd do it back.

When we'd got to the café I went and saw the same woman every time. She would kiss me on the cheek and then Florence. When I leave I think I'm gonna miss her most.

Every time Florence and I came in here we sat in the same spot we met. Of course she sits next to me now. Most of the time we're weirdos and feed each other. Whenever we get something messy we purposefully get it all over one another.

Little did I know I had another surprise for me today. When we walked out she held my hand, and led me in the direction of her room.

"Why are we going this way?" I asked her confused. She put her finger over my lips and I followed her command. Then we got to her door she had bags outside it. I looked at her confused again. "Are you moving rooms?" I asked her. She nodded and I was still confused.

"How far from me?" I asked her even though I know she put in a request to be moved near me.

She laughed, "not too far." Then I got excited.

"Are we gonna be neighbors?" I asked her jumping up and down.

She shook her head and sighed, "more like roommates." She laughed again waiting for me to get it. Then when I finally did I ran up to her and gave her the biggest hug.

"You're moving in!" I pulled her close and kissed her. Like any other time she didn't let go, nor did I because I didn't want to. I have a roommate. Now that she's Aaron's I also possibly have a family.

Happy birthday Park!
