Epilogue.

5 years later

"Ollie!" I exclaim the second the door to our apartment opens, then I'm in his arms and peppering kisses all over his face.

"I missed you too, Smalls." He laughs and hikes me up so that my legs wrap around his waist and he closes the door behind him.

Oliver was away on tour with his team for the past two and a half months. I wanted to go with him but I couldn't leave work for that long.

Oliver sat down on the couch with me on him, kinda straddling him.

"I missed you so much," he tightened his embrace around my waist as I buried my head in his neck.

"At least you had a good season, right?" I pulled away a little so I can look at his beautiful face.

Our relationship over the last five years only got stronger every day that passed, how could it not when our love for each other only seemed to intensify.

"I don't care about that, how are you?" He tucked a stray hair behind my ear.

"I'm great now that you're back, I missed you." I raked my hands through his hair that definitely needs a haircut.

"Can I kiss you now?" He looked into my eyes, a look of longing flashed in the warm brown that I love so much.

"Did you really just ask that?" I raised a brow then placed my lips on his in a sweet slow kiss that full of yearning and love.

Then, the hunger we both had for each other took over as the kiss became faster and faster.

"I love you so goddamn much," he whispered against my lips when we broke apart, because sadly we still need to breathe.

"Not any more than I love you." I peppered kisses on his cheeks.

I've never been that affectionate towards other people, well sometimes, but I've always had a soft spot for him.

"I want us to go out tonight," he stated when I pulled away a little.

"Don't you want to stay in? You just got off a plane." I frowned.

"No, I want to take you out." He tightened his hug.

"Okay," I drawled. "If you're sure."

"I am." He nodded. "Now up, you need to shower." He patted my butt.

"Are you saying I smell?" I placed my hand over my heart in feigned offense.

"Yes," he smiled cheekily and got up, carrying me towards our bedroom and placing me in front of the adjacent bathroom. "Have fun." He smiled and opened the door then gently pushed me in the bathroom.

"Hey," I called, my smile never faltering.

♡︎♡︎♡︎

"Where are we going?" I asked as I tugged Oliver's hand, that was laced through mine, so that he can slow down a little.

Sometimes he forgets he's like 6'giant.

"You'll see," he smirked at me.

I hate surprises.

"I know Smalls," he kissed my temple.

Yep, I still got that problem of thinking out loud.

"We're here." He said and pulled me out of my small daydream.

I looked around to see the familiar flower field that Oliver had taken me to our first date and every anniversary we had since.

It looks so magnificent when the sun is coming down, right before golden hour.

"What are we doing here?" I ask and turn around to Oliver, only to see him crouched, on one knee.

Tears started pooling my eyes.

"What are you doing?" I ask, my hand is still clutched tightly in his.

Oliver brought out a small velvet box with his unoccupied hand, making the tears of happiness escape my eyes.

"Kayden Cassia Black," Oliver started, "I love you, god I love you like I've never loved anyone in my life, I'm not sure anyone has loved someone as much as I love you,"

"You bring so much light to my life, so much happiness stored in such a small package," he nodded and I started laughing, then I noticed that he's still crouched and I'm standing, I don't like the distance between us, so I crouched down so I stand on my knees in front of him.

"You are the only person for me, Smalls, the only person I can feel whole with, you get me like nobody else got me, you are my Kayden." He smiled.

"So, Kayden Cassia Black, will you do me the honor and become my wife?" Oliver gently unlaced our hands and opened the small box, but before I let him do that I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck, hugging the shit out of him, I'm sure he's never been hugged so tightly in his life.

"That's a stupid question, Ollie." I smiled into his shoulder.

"Oh thank god," he wrapped his arms around my waist, also squeezing me pretty tightly as well.

"You had a doubt?" I pulled away slightly, knowing he'd never have a doubt about my love for him.

"Never," he smiled and leaned in, giving me the best kiss I ever received in my life.

Hey, hi, hello.

How are you?

I'm currently crying over the fact that I finished writing my first story.

I have so much love for Kayden and Oliver, plus the little friend group I created.

I started writing this story when I was extremely bored over the summer, I wrote the synopsis and the first chapter because I saw some tiktok video that inspired some scene that I didn't even include in the story in the end and ran to show my mom then my mom basically forced me to continue writing it so that she could read it.

If you read my story and pushed through the first chapters, that in my opinion are very not great, then I thank you so much and I love you so much.

Thank you to anyone who stuck with this book and with me because I had tons of phases that I could not write a word without hating it.

So this is it, I hope you enjoyed our little journey. And I am planning on writing some bonus chapters so yeah.

Also I have some other stories that I've written and I am planning on publishing them here sometime but I really want to edit them and re read them and edit Rame as well so maybe I won't have a new story out in the next couple of weeks but hopefully they'll be out sometime soon.

Oh and I didn't forget, QOTC☟︎

Ok, love you, byeeeee muahhh
