"How was your trip," Chase questions, some time later, gazing into my eyes as he caresses my cheek. 
                          
I chuckle and subconsciously pull his blanket covered form closer to me. "Don't you think that should have been the first thing you asked me?" I tease, pecking his lips. 
                          
"I only intended to give you a quick kiss and then ask about your trip," he says with a giggle, brushing his thumb, ever so lightly over my lips. "But your lips are too addicting," he whispers, giggling again before pressing his mouth to mine. 
                          
When he pulls away he is short of breath, but all smiles, which causes the smile on my face to grow. "Only my lips?" I question in a suggestive manner and Chase's eyes widen. He produces a little squeak before burying his face in my chest. 
                          
I burst out laughing and squeeze him tighter in my arms. 
                          
"No, every part of you," he mumbles against my chest, causing me to produce another laugh. 
                          
How is he so cute! I ask myself that question everyday. That along with, how did I get so lucky to have the most perfect person I've ever met fall in love with me. 
                          
When he raises his head, I place kisses all over his face until he's giggling uncontrollably before we exchange stories about our time apart. 
                          
Chase fills me in on what he and Jesse were talking about when we arrived. He officially found funding for his film and he can retain full creative control, so as soon as he's finished working on the movie with Mr. Reyes, he will concentrate on the logistics of his film. I'm just as overjoyed and proud of him as he is, and I gladly listen to him gush about his movie. I offered once before to fund his film, but he said that he wanted to do it on his own, and that's exactly what he did. 
                          
Once our conversation dies down, we decide to take a nap, both a little knackered from our earlier adventures, and when we awaken, we shower and head over to Bryan and Jesse's house. 
                          
"Shawn! Guess what!" Chase exclaims as soon as he spots the little dancer in the kitchen with Jesse. He rushes towards him, no doubt to tell him all about his movie, and I watch his beautiful bubble butt bounce and he hurries away. 
                          
I head to the living room, where I assume Bryan and Dean are, and find them conversing on the couch. "Hey," I greet them, giving Dean a hug since I haven't seen him in a little over two weeks. "Do the boys have plans?" I ask, plopping down on the couch next to Dean. 
                          
"Yeah, dinner and then a movie. They're making dinner now," Bryan replies, wearing a goofy smile. 
                          
The three of us catch up while we wait for our boyfriends to call us for dinner. Once they do, laughter fills the air as we eat and talk, enjoying each other's company. After the dishes are cleaned, we all head to the Twin's Castle to watch a movie under the stars, snuggling with our respective boyfriends.
                          
My gaze drifts to my perfect little lamb's face and nothing can stop the wide grin that graces my face. His long, elegant eyelashes hide his eyes which are laser focused on the screen, his pointed nose expands a little with each serene breath and his plump, pink lips are curved up into a small smile. 
                          
I press a kiss to the top of his head, which causes him to nestle into my arms. I smile in response and return my attention to the movie. 
                          
I still don't know how I was able to win the love and affection of the kindest, sweetest, bravest and the most beautiful person I know, but I know that I will love and cherish him for the rest of my life. 
                          
The End.
                          
You have reached the end of my very first book! Thank you so so much for reading!! 15k reads and 1k votes, I wasn't expecting that when I decided to publish the very first chapter of this book, but I am truly grateful to all of you! 💕
                          
I specifically want to thank my best friend Soop (that's one of her nicknames lol I figured this was the least embarrassing one), who always listens to me talking about my books and my experience writing, and gets really excited about even the silliest milestones I share with her. 
                          
I also want to thank ani_dn who actually encouraged me not to rush the book and do a big time jump after Diego and Chase got together, and also for the insights along the way through which I learnt a lot.  
                          
And I of course have to thank my other bestie DeusBajaj whose encouragement and faith in me is endless and who was my go to person for whenever I was stuck or needed help sparking ideas.
                          
I'm really going miss updating this story. I've had so much fun with this book and bringing the characters to life, and I've cried and smiled, probably way more than I should have while writing it. 
                          
I also learnt a lot throughout this book about the themes I wrote about and about writing and storytelling in general. I have an idea of my strengths and weaknesses, but if you have any feedback/ constructive criticism, please let me know. 
                          
This book and these characters will always have a very special place in my heart, and I hope that you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. 
                          
Aaaaahh! I can finally mark this book complete!! Thank you again for your support! ❤❤❤
