Lovely readers, this is the LAST chapter and the END of Lost Love :O I thought there would be more, but this finishes it off perfectly IMO. I really hope you like it and would love to know what you think of everything :) thanks for all of your supportive comments and votes And dedicated to the lovely Tessa for her keen eye for the small details throughout :) xx

EPILOGUE:

I don’t know what it is about boys, but my boyfriend steals the covers like no man’s business. Groaning, I yank the duvet back my way and begin to have a tug of war in bed at the grand time of 8am. 

‘Give it to me, Oscar!’ I yell at him.

‘Too early for sex,’ he mumbles half asleep, but I narrow my eyes at him, pulling the cover back over to me forcefully. 

‘I just want the duvet, don’t flatter yourself.’

To my surprise, Ozzy brings me into being his little spoon and links his legs between mine and his arm around my waist. We manage to get a little more sleep before we really have to get up. It’s my graduation today; while Ozzy had his a month ago, passing with a first in Mathematics which amuses me to no end. I passed with a first as well and things have been going well since we finished university, namely 40 day trip around Europe with one another and enjoying our time as graduates. 

I get up first, leaving Ozzy in bed and head down the hallway in my house to shower and get ready for today. I know my mum will want to take hundreds of pictures of us today and as the whole family are coming, I need to look as nice as I can. 

I head back to the room and begin to blow dry my hair, knowing this will wake him up. Reluctantly, he gets up to go and shower as I continue my prep. There’s then a knock at the door and Elle walks in, smiling at me. 

‘What are you wearing today? I don’t want us to match,' she says, scanning my room for my outfit.

I point to the floral Ted Baker dress I’ve chosen to which she nods before complimenting it. Seeing as so many people are coming to watch me today, I had to put in several hours as a Student Ambassador to earn the extra seats, we’re driving in separate cars. 

My parents are driving Ozzy and me, while Calvin, Elle’s boyfriend is driving her. Sadly, things between Theo and Elle didn’t work out. They were together for just over nine months before the sparks fizzled out, but five months later, she met Calvin and has been with him ever since. He’s a really nice guy and is a year older than her going into his second year at university as Elle prepares for her first year this September. Their universities are in the same town, completely coincidental, she tells us, which will make their relationship easier to maintain. 

She trots back off to her bedroom as Ozzy comes back in, with a thick white towel slung around his waist, all dewy and wet. I can’t help myself but watch little droplets of water trickle down the planes of his body.

‘Your house is chaotic this morning. I practically had to wrestle your dad for the shower this morning.’

I smirk at that and look over at him. ‘Come on. We need to leave soon.’

After getting dressed and curling my hair, I’m finally ready to go, but I have to catch my breath as I see Ozzy appear at my door looking incredibly handsome in his suit and tie, with his hair curled too. I lean up to kiss his lips, but he frowns. ‘No, I don’t want bright pink lips, thanks.’

‘Kiss me,’ I plead, and finally, he obliges but only kissing the edge of my lips as a compromise. He smirks down at me before we head downstairs to see that everybody else is ready. My parents are dressed smartly in semi-matching outfits, with Mum wearing a green fascinator in her hair.
