Stole My Heart (Editing)

Chapter 30 - Epilogue

Five years later.

We were driving down home for Christmas. I had asked Noah to arrange for us to fly here but he had insisted on driving as it is more romantic. The last five years have been nothing but magical for me. Who knew Noah could be the best boyfriend in the world. Like all the couples we had our share of fights but nothing too serious ever happened. I was mad at him for transferring to NYU so he could be with me and we didn’t have to be in different states. It was his dream college but he convinced me that it is not more important than me, how could I say no?

I looked at him. He was looking ahead watching the road his one hand was on the steering and the other one intertwined with mine. He looked at me and smiled happily. How did I get so lucky? I love him even more than I did now. It was his idea to spend the Christmas with our parents this year. His mom and Peter were coming too for dinner today but it was at Noah’s house.

“How long?” I asked excitedly. It had been two years since I had come here last. Noah and I both had got jobs in New York and have been living happily for past few years.

“Just another hour or so.” He said smiling. I frowned. Another hour? It feels like we have been on road for days. I am so tired already.

“Why don’t you take a nap? I will wake you up when we reach.” He suggested. I nodded and rested my head on the seat and closed my eyes.

I heard someone calling me, it has to be Noah. He stroked my cheek lovingly and kissed my forehead. I opened my eyes to see his face inches away from mine. “Wake up sleepy head, we are here.” He said softly.

I nodded and opened the door and stepped out. Damn, it is so cold. Noah wrapped a jacket around me from behind. He is so adorable. I ran a hand through my hair trying to even it out and straightened my shirt as well. “What you doing?” Noah asked curiously.

I shrugged. “Making myself look presentable. It was not such a good idea to sleep in the car after all.” I said.

“You look beautiful.” He said taking my hand and kissing it. I blushed and let him lead me inside the house.

We entered and my parents came running and pulled me into a tight hug. “Can’t breathe.” I said and they stepped behind.

They gave a hug to Noah and the he left. He had to get some stuff ready for the dinner apparently. He was slightly upset that his dad cancelled last minute due to some work. I spend some time with my parents. I missed them so much, we talk on the phone almost every day but it’s not the same. I got up around five and decided to get ready.
