It Won't End

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

It was August and we were sitting in the café alone when my cell phone rang. “Yeah?” I answered tiredly.

“Aimee you got your room assignment today.” Decima said.

“Okay I told them I wasn’t going to need a dorm room though. Remember? You, Jordan, me, Simeon, and Hope are all going to live in that house.” I reminded her wondering if she was dumb or trying to tick me off she knew better than to call during these times.

“I know but I thought you’d find this funny.”

“What is it Decy?” I sighed tiredly.

“You and Hope were supposed to be roommates.”

“You’re right that is pretty funny.” I smiled and laughed Simeon raised his eyebrows at me surprised by the sound. Nobody was used to me smiling or laughing still I had not done it in so long but now Ryan was in jail and I would never have to deal with him again.

“Well I’ll let you and Simeon finish your date.” she laughed, “Bring some latte mix home though.”

“Will do,” I laughed again happily with the reminder of next week’s move into a bigger house with fewer people. I hung up and reached over to Simeon he ran his finger across all off mine and I smiled at him.

“What was funny?” he asked.

“Oh Hope and I were supposed to be roommates.” I smiled at him and leaned over the table to kiss him he eagerly let go of my hand to hold my face there for a second.

“I love you.” he smiled when he pulled away.

“I love you too.” I promised smiling as I dipped another french-fry in my milkshake and ate it.

“I didn’t even understand that when I was human.” he shook his head once again as he took my hand.

“It’s good.” I smiled and then added, “Decy said we need more latte mix.”

“We always need more latte mix between the two of you.” he laughed and waved over Austin.

“Latte mix?” Austin guessed and we nodded laughing.

“The check too,” Simeon smiled at me.

“I don’t want to go home yet.” I whined.

“We’re not.” he shook his head.

“Then where are we going?” I smiled happy once again.

“Someplace else.”

“Ugh.” I groaned, “You know I hate surprises.”

“I know.” he smiled paying Austin and taking the latte mix before leading me outside and to the car. I stayed silent on the way figuring it was the least he deserved since he was doing something he knew I hated but he kept a smile on his face the entire way and it made me wonder what type of surprise he had in store. He stopped in front of Yvonne’s and came around to get me.

“You couldn’t tell me that we were coming to Yvonne’s?” I asked confused we had just left the café.

“We’re meeting a few people here. I wanted us to have some alone time first.” he explained and I smiled a little as I thought back to how much he’d been trying to get us out of the house and alone. We went out at least once a week and I always looked forward to it most of all. There were weeks where the only way I got through was to think about this day.

“Who are we meeting?” I finally asked when we sat down at a big table.

“Why were you smiling on the way in here?” he asked moving closer to me and wrapping his arms around me.
