'I'm not surprise that you see that' Ava says, Claire chuckles Ava stands beside her and Claire hands her jacket

'i thought you might want this since it's kinda of chilly out here' Claire says, ava takes it

'Thanks' Ava says

'Yup' Claire says, Ava puts it on and looks out into the mountains and Claire looks at her then gets up and stands in front of her and Ava looks at her

'you know that i never once doubt that you didn't love me, i was trying to show you that life is too short to not say those three words to somebody that you love' Claire says, Ava smiles

'you always wanted to prove your point, I think you would be a good lawyer or a cop that fights fair though' Ava says

'everybody says that but i don't want to follow in my parents career paths that's not my career path' Claire says

'i know I should know this but what is it that you want to do?' Ava asks

'a computer engineering, you do know what that is right?' Claire asks

'yes i do, it's a branch of engineering that integrates several fields of computer science and electronic to develop computer hardware and software, not only does this field focuses on how computer system themselves work but also how they integrate into the large picture' Ava says, Claire is in impress by what she said

'wow I am impress that you know all of that off the top of your head, I like that you use your beautiful brain, you should use it more often' Claire says, They laugh

'yeah well if i did that my head would hurt like your does' Ava says, Ava starts laughing but Claire nobody has ever insulted Claire before only Claire insults people

'hey you started it' Ava says

'yeah well at least mine was an insult but a with compliment but yours was just all insulting' Claire says, She turns around and walks up to the edge of the hill then Ava walks up and stands beside her

'what degree do you need for computer engineering?' Ava asks

'bachelor's and master's, you?' Claire asks

'what colleges are you looking at?' Ava asks

'the only college that i found that has the career path that we want is Georgia tech' Ava says

'that's good and plus it's closer to home so we can visit on the weekend' Claire says

'yeah' Ava says

A/N let's pretend that Georgia tech has everything that want to do for their career paths)

'did Addison tell you and Dylan about her being a cop?' Claire asks, Ava looks at her

'yeah she did, I think honestly that it made Caitlin and Addison closer together' Ava says

'so is Addison coming with us to be pretend a student at Georgia tech or not?' Claire asks

'she said if they don't catch Jeremy by labor day then yes she has to but if they do then she's just gonna be a guard there' Ava says

'well at least she's close by to Caitlin then' Claire says

'yeah, you and me too' Ava says, Claire looks at her

'yeah well I'm not letting you slip out my fingers' Claire says, Then looks back at the mountains Ava looks at her

'what is it?' Claire asks

'i just remember something but it can wait until your nap is over with' Ava says

'no, you can tell me now, what's up?' Claire asks

'now I think this is a good idea but i don't know about you though' Ava says

'ok?' Claire says, confused

'so I got a call from the Georgia tech Deen and they know about you want me to be your roommate because of your anxiety and he said that they have apartments across the street from them and we don't have to pay rent or bills they do all of that themselves, he also said if it's ok with you that we can live there for the next four years' Ava says

'and there's no catch at all' Claire says

'nope' Ava says

'alright call him back and tell him that we will like to live there for next four years' Claire says

'alright I'll do it, oh I can talk to Mona about it and I ask her if this is legit or not, and well you know your mom she did her research and she told me that is legit and no catches at all' Ava says

'so you did it to be on the save side' Claire says

'yeah' Ava says

'oh yeah, yeah, it's fine, i didn't mean to scare you like that, I was gonna do that after my shower, but yeah tell him that we will take him up on his offer' Claire says, Ava smiles

'you are amazing' Ava says, Claire smiles

'i try to be' Claire says, Ava kisses her

'what is it?' Ava asks, Claire looks at her

'do you see yourself marrying me after college?' Claire asks, Ava is taken a back by that and then starts thinking and walks up to her and takes her hands into hers and looks at in her eyes

'i was gonna say I'm not saying yes and I'm also not saying no because the future is so unpredictable, but now that i look into your eyes i can honestly say yes i can because i can see that in your eyes which is weird and scary to see that but in a good way' Ava says, Claire smiles

'good because there's no way in hell I'm not letting you go that easily, and I also see us getting married too, that's why i ask you that question' Claire says, Ava smiles

'well now you have my answer' Ava says, Claire smiles

'yup I do' Claire says, She kisses her then it turns into a passionate kiss then Ava pulls away

'you think we can go to my studio and finish this because fucking cold out here' Ava says, Claire smiles

'don't have to tell me twice' Claire says, So they leave and goes to Ava's studio and just makes out then cuddles
