Chapter 6 (Final Chapter)

The next morning, I wake up after having one of the best nights of my life. As I replay the endless hours being reunited with Brittany, a goofy-looking smile has found permanent residence on my face. As I exhale contently, I feel Brittany's arms wrap tighter around my stomach as she places a sweet kiss to the back of my neck. I then turn around in her arms to see the bright blue orbs staring back at me.

"Good morning..." I say as I lean in and give her a chaste kiss on the lips.

"Mmm... indeed it is," she replies back with a smile. "How'd you sleep?"

"Awesome, especially now that I got my cuddle buddy back."

"You are so adorable," she says back. Normally, I hate when people say that about me cuz I'm still the baddest bitch from Lima. But with Brittany... I'd let her get away with murder if I got to wake up to her smiling face every morning. "I'm glad that I get to call you mine again."

"Yeah... me too," I concur as I kiss her again. "And as your girlfriend, I'd really like to know what's the next step here... like, where will you be staying cuz hotels can get pretty expensive."

Brittany silently laughs to herself before answering. "Well... I have some money saved up so I was just gonna stay here until I figured out a more solid game plan."

"Why don't you stay with me?" I hopefully ask.

"That's very generous, but I can't intrude on your home like that," Brittany gently replies. "Plus, isn't it already pretty crowded with Blaine staying there too?"

"Yeah, I guess so," I answer back. "What if we got a place together then?"

The words come out of my mouth without a second thought.

"Seriously?" Brittany questions as she raises her eyebrow.

"Yes, silly... I'm serious," I reply back. "Honestly, I don't care where I live Britt... I just want to be with you. You're my home, Brittany... you always have been."

"Okay..." she whispers out.

"Okay? Is that a yes?"

"Yes... I'll stay with you, but only until we save a good bit of money to get our own place."

"Nothing would make me happier," I gleefully reply.

"You're my home, too..." Brittany says while staring lovingly into my eyes.

"That's good to know," are the last words that leave my mouth before I attach my lips to Brittany's.

If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago if Brittany and I would ever get back together, I wouldn't have known how to respond. But now, looking into her eyes and feeling her lips that have always fit perfectly with mine... I know exactly where I was always meant to be. I'm finally home.
