I smile and lean closer to place my lips against his. "Thank you for being the best boyfriend a girl could ask for. I love you," I say softly.

He looks away a little shyly. "I love you more," he chuckles while blowing the hot chocolate.

"No, I love you more," I say while settling back into the couch because I know how this goes. We play-argue about who loves the other the most, but it's clear it's me obviously. I laugh at the joke in my head.

"Nope, pretty sure I love you more." He grabs the television remote and clicks play on the screen where we settle back into each other and focus our attention forward.

"So what are we watching?" I ask while sipping the warm chocolate.

He makes a face as if picking his mind for the answer, and I chuckle. "It's a feel-good movie, I suppose. You mentioned the other day how you haven't seen it in forever. As long as it makes you laugh, then I don't mind watching it."

I kiss his cheek while waiting to see what the movie is. As I sit back impatiently and wait as the movie begins, I bust out laughing when the movie starts playing.

"I thought you'd like it," he laughs when it starts.

Out of all the movies, I never would have guessed he would have put on Project X. I can't control my laughter.

Finally, once I calm down and wipe the tears from my eyes, I speak up. "Have you ever watched this movie?" I ask.

"Nope, but I'm sure it'll be good." He says while bringing me closer to his side.

"It's great. This should become our yearly tradition to watch it around Christmas." I chuckle, excited to see his reaction to the very rated R movie he's about to witness.

My eyes drift from the screen momentarily, and I stare at those beautiful, midnight eyes of his. I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him forever. He's my soulmate, and I can't wait to watch our lives unfold.

Who could've known I would have found the love of my life on a dark street at night committing a crime? Not me. But life is funny in its twisted ways.

All the pain I endured was worth it if it meant I finally got to be by his side. I softly shut my eyes for a moment and enjoy this little fleeting second before it's gone.

Suddenly, fingers intertwine with mine, and I open my eyes. I look down and see he's taken my hand and holds it gently. I watch him bring my hand up to his lips where he kisses it softly.

At that moment, I knew. I was right about time. One tiny second can create so much joy, happiness, and excitement. One tiny second can welcome so much peace and love.

I rest my head on his shoulder, holding onto his hand, and enjoy how beautiful this fleeting second is before it passes.

Welcome to the last chapter of
Street Killer!

I have one final chapter left, which is the epilogue! I highly encourage everyone to read this final chapter as it makes the story close beautifully! I'll be working on this next chapter, and hopefully will have this posted soon!

For everyone who read up to this part, I thank you so much for taking the time to read this story and for tagging along for the ride. I know these last few chapters have taken some time to be written, but I hope the wait was worth it.

As we come to this story's conclusion, I hope you take away some important points in this story about relationships, trust, and love.

Love is hard, it's not always kind, but we endure it if we love that person. I wrote this story for a friend of mine, and throughout these last months, our relationship has been as rocky as Vee and her father's in a certain way, but we're trying, no matter the circumstances.

I encourage everyone reading this to remember love is not easy and don't give up because it gets hard! Keep pushing if you feel that's what you need to do but never force what you know isn't there.

This is my takeaway from Street Killer, and I hope this book was good! I'll be working on the last chapter, but until then, I hope this satisfies the desire for more in the meantime!

Thank you all for reading Street Killer! I'll see you all at the last chapter and be prepared for the end 💙
