It All Started With Stargazing

"I cannot say how ha-" I put my finger on his lip and he shut up. I took out my spectacles and was about to kiss him when he took my hand and put a ring on my hand. I stared at it and realized it was the ring we buried when we made the bucket list. I looked at him, "It was at end of the year but fuck it, I cannot resist. I got yours too. And that crap book thing, we forgot and whatever. I don't care about it." He said and took out another box which had my ring that is his ring. I took it out and slipped it onto his finger because of course, I was going to marry him.

Before he could say anything, I started kissing his eyes, cheekbone, earlobe, jawline and then I kissed his lips.

His hands rested on my waist while mine got lost in his soft hair. I gave him the control and he soon left my lips and moved to my neck. I moaned and my hands found their way underneath his shirt. I traced his hard body and he groaned and that is when every rationality I had left me. I grabbed the hem of his tee and took it out and threw it in the corner. Niles looked taken back for a moment but I kissed him and then put his hands on the zipper of my dress. He gasped as I, holding his hand, unzipped the dress and took it out. I kissed him again and said, "Don't stop." And with that he kissed me with every force and before moving further, he whispered, "You looked beautifully beautiful in the dress." And then no word was said as we explored every part of each other's body.

"So you did it, didn't you?" Soph said. Everyone gagged. Cause well, my dear stupid friend decided that it would be a great thing to talk about my sex life on the table with everyone.

"Oh my god, you did." She concluded seeing Niles blush and Al and she both started to squeal. Aaron and Cal immediately held them and made them quiet.

"Please. I don't really want to talk about my twin's sex life." Cal gagged and every guy nodded.

"By the way, guys. I have something for you all." Wilson said and then took out his phone. He dialled something and soon was on call. No one except him knew who the person was but as soon as the other person spoke, the rate of happiness in the room went way past infinity.

"Is everyone there?" It was Lauren! I rushed to Wil and the moment I saw Lauren, it felt like peace. I had been so sad about everything that the past few days, whenever I was alone, I would keep thinking about it.

"Hi, Lauren." A pretty smile like him crept onto his face when he saw me.

"Hey, Chloe."

I wanted to talk with him in private so I let everyone else talk and then take the phone and left the kitchen.

"Lauren, I just wanted to-"

"It's not your fault, Chloe. Get that. And it's good for me. I found Veronica and we are happier now."

"But you could've told me, Lauren."

"It's fine. What kind of a friend would I have been if I stopped you and Niles? And you guys are cute together no matter how much it hurts."

"Are you happy?"

"That is something I plan on achieving but yes I'm on the way." I smiled at him. It felt so good to talk with him.

I soon gave the phone back to everyone and we all talked with him.

"Carter, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, sweatpants."

"Why did you hate me?"

"I didn't hate you. I wasn't just interested in talking and I don't talk a lot. I didn't hate you." I nodded. So he didn't hate me. Good.

"So..." Dan started. I saw them standing in a row in front of their partners. By them, I mean, Dan, Cal, Niles, Aaron and Will. I looked at Soph, Soph, Al and Carter confused. Scarlett and Evan cannot make it here considering they were out to vacay. But then I heard a chorus.

"Will you go to the Winter Formal with me?" All of them said together. Sure we agreed like why we would ever say no. And then we kissed. Not each other but our partners.

I wondered how it would look if ten-person were kissing each other. I internally chuckled at the thought but then kissed my pretty boyfriend. After he was done, I exclaimed, "This is the most clichéd thing. I feel like I am in a cliché movie." I said and everyone giggled.

We decided to watch a movie. Dan and Soph got the middle couch, Al and Aaron were on the other couch and Will and Carter on the other one. I and Niles were with Cal and Soph on the floor but at a safe distance.

Niles held my hand during the movie. And I smiled. I looked at the morons around me and I couldn't feel luckier anymore. No matter how much has happened and the shit that happened along with it, I knew I would never give these guys away for anything in this world. I wonder what I had done so well that I got them. I had two people in my family earlier and now I have these crazy people.

These guys were crazy but I love them and I know that I am the luckiest person because I got them.

And I agree with what Niles said yesterday that It All Started With Stargazing. If we wouldn't have found Niles during me and Dad were stargazing, this won't have happened. If I won't have stargazed with him, this won't have happened. If that thing about not telling each other's name and stuff won't have taken place, I won't be here. If I won't have called Bug that day when I and Niles fought, I won't be here.

So I whispered to Niles, "Bug, Indeed it is true."

"What, Angel?"

He nodded and smiled when I said,

"It All Started With Stargazing."
