“Yes, Sir,” Lik throws back playfully.
I let him and Rachel take a few steps further. My hand goes for Rose’s neck and I pull her back, making her turn toward me as I do so. We both stop as the other two keep going.
“Not even going to kiss me hello?” I raise an eyebrow at her, and she smiles as she gazes up at me.
“Isn’t it so weird?” she asks. “You’re myboyfriendnow. My partner.”
“One of many indeed,” I chuckle.
“Yeah, but you…Who knew?”
Drawing my eyebrows together, I ask a silent question.
“Who knew we would make it? After everything we’ve been through, fuck, who knew we would manage to end up together?”
“I did.”
“No, you didn’t,” she scoffs.
I play with her long hair while my other hand caresses her lower lip. “I always knew, Rose, that you belonged to me. That all I needed was patience. And that one day, you’d become my forever.”
A soft, shocked breath escapes her, and I smirk. “So how about you kiss your boyfriend hello now?”
Going on her toes, she presses her lips against mine and I take pleasure in wrapping my arms around her tiny waist. We only separate from our corner of heaven when Lik calls us.
“Come on! You can kiss in the limo.”
Reluctantly separating, I take her hand in mine and start walking.
“Let’s go, girlfriend.”
The word feels foreign on my lips. So does the happiness.
But her hand in mine…it feels like coming back home after a long trip. Natural, comfy,perfect.

Champagne flows in the limo. With her head resting on Rose’s lap, Rachel spills most of her glass on her dress as she tries to drink from her flute.
“Let’s open the roof!” she screams excitedly, tipsy from the alcohol she’s been consuming.
I practically throw myself on the button. “Great idea,” I throw back.
The sunroof opens over our heads and my eyes catch Sam’s. The softness in them tells a hundred words. He sips on his glass silently, a small smile tipping up. He can stay silent all he wants as long as he keeps looking at me like this.
I’m the only one not drinking, and it took me a little while to realize that I didn’t even care. I’m drunk on the presence of the people I love. Their laughs and their warmth are all I need.
Sam gets up and disappears above the sunroof. I follow quickly, making sure to rub all against him as I come up.
“You finally got your prom,” I tell him, raising my voice to speak over the wind. Putting my arms around his neck, I give him a peck on the lips. “You never told me that it’s something you wish you had done.”
He nods and brings his hand to his jaw, running his knuckles against it. “You know what this whole situation has made me realize?”
“What?”
