He pulls away when we start running out of air, blinking down at me. He doesn’t pull his body away, which I couldn’t be happier about.
“Winnie, will you-
“Yes.”
“I didn’t.”
“Yes.”
“You don’t even know what I w
“I don’t care. We’ve gone through way too much shit for us to not be together after this.”
– Baby, I’m yours (Baby, I’m yours)
And I’ll be yours until two and two is three
Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea
In other words, until eternity-
res at me, and next thing I know, his words are jumbled together as they leave his mouth.
He narrows his eyes
“Willyoubemygirlfriend?”
I laugh, a large grin on my face. “Fuck yeah.”
He grins, cupping the back of my head and pulling my face back to his, our mouths attaching again.
My hand buries itself in his hair as the other one grips his shoulder tightly. His other hand is now pressed against my upper
back
This time, we both grin against each other’s mouths and I let out yet another laugh.
“I really like you.” I mutter against his lips. “A lot. Like, a shit ton.”
He chuckles. “And I really like you. A lot. Like, a shit ton.”
I pull away and tug on his hair and laugh at the small whimper he lets out.
“You fucking bottom bitch.” I laugh loudly.
“Stooop!” He whines, trying to kiss me again, but I grip his hair to keep him in place. “I wanna keep kissing you!”
I tug his hair again, my face becoming slightly more serious. “Don’t fuck me over, please.”
His face softens as his hand leaves the back of my head to cup my face instead. His thumb runs over my bottom lip, which is now swollen. “I couldn’t do that even if I wanted to, Pretty Girl.”
And I believe him.
Chapter 114
I smile at him and pull him back down to kiss him for the third time that night.
Adonis doesn’t know about Christian, or the shit he put me through. I’d tell him one day. Just not now. No. Right now, I just
want to savour this moment,
Baby, I’m yours, til the stars fall from the sky.
Baby, I’m yours, until the rivers all run dry
Baby, I’m yours, until the sun no longer shines
Baby, I’m yours, until the poets run out of rhyme
Baby, I’m yours

“Who the fuck put
“You could’ve warned me, Winnie!”
“What the hell do you think I was getting at when I said, ‘Uncle Max, watch out for the ”
“Would you two shut up and keep walking?” Dad cuts us off, walking past us with two large boxes stacked on top of each other, both labelled ‘Books‘. “Other people are trying to move into their dorms and you’re blocking the hallway.”
“See,” I give Uncle Max a pointed look. “The old man’s carrying Octavia’s lifetime supply of books and he didn’t run into the
wall.”
Uncle Max just huffs and keeps walking, Kamri’s singular box of throw pillows in hand.
I just laugh and continue on after him, rolling my suitcases behind me..
After setting the things down in our respective dorm rooms, we go back down to the parking lot.
“Is that everything?” Aunt Megan asks, wiping some sweat off her forehead.
“Yeah,” Octavia nods before looking at all of our parents. “Thanks for helping us move in.”
“Yeah, thanks.” I agree. “Now leave before someone starts crying.
“Too late.” Uncle Dylan gestures over to Uncle Max, who is already tearing up.
“What?” The man in question sniffles, turning his head so none of us can see his face. “Who’s crying?”
Kamri just shakes her head fondly before wrapping her arms around her father.
Everyone splits off to say goodbye to their respective parent/caregiver.
“I’m so proud of the both of you.” Dad tells us, a soft grin on his face as Uncle Danny basically throws himself on his brother, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. We had said goodbye to Nana Tanya and Ben before we left for the college.

“We’re so proud of you!” He corrects. Dad rolls his eyes but doesn’t say anything.
“Thank you, dad, Uncle Danny.” Octavia smiles.
We all stand in silence for a moment.
“Is that it?” I furrow my brows. “You’re not gonna say anything else?”
Dad a
and Uncle Danny share a look before turning back to us.
“We love you. Don’t die.” Dad states bluntly.
“He means he’ll facetime you two every week.” Uncle Danny jabs an elbow into dad’s rib cage, who promptly slaps the back of
his head in retaliation.
“Cmere.” Uncle Danny wraps us in a hug one at a time. “Stay safe. I love you.”
Octavia moves onto dad as I stay hugging Uncle Danny a minute longer. He ruffles my hair and grins at me once we pull away.
I walk over to my father as Octavia steps away. I basically throw myself on him, hugging him tightly.
“Hey.” He hums and I pull back slightly to look at him as he runs a hand through my now–short hair, pretending that I don’t see his glassy eyes.
