L a u r a
I wake up to the smell of all kinds of delicious foods. I take it all in before I open my eyes. When I do I see that Ross isn't next to me but I can hear him in the kitchen. I can hear some random noises then sometimes I will hear the occasional singing. I smiled to myself. I look to see that the television in our room is on. Some morning show is playing. When I was getting distracted by the morning show a voice starting speaking.
"Good morning!" Ross chirps.
"Good morning." I reply.
Ross came over and put a tray of food in front of me. It all looked so good. Ross went over to the television and flicked the channel over to something different. Ross then walked out of the room as I looked at him confused. I figured he had just forgotten something. I look down at my plate and see all the food that is actually on here. There's more than I originally thought. I know I definitely won't be able to eat this all.
In perfect timing Ross walks in with two cups. He gives one to me and puts one on a table next to him. He leans over and peaks me on the lips.
"Shall we?"
Ross starts digging into the food then I realise that the reason there was so much food was because it was for both of us.
"You know I could start doing this more often." I say half way through eating.
Ross looks over to me and smiles with a mouth full of food. I try and hold down my laughter, I'd rather not choke right now.
After breakfast we don't rush to get out of bed. I was so full I didn't think I could ever move again. We cuddled until the food went down.
"Laur?" Ross asks.
"Hmm." I mumble.
"We have to get up." Ross tells me.
"Can't we just stay here?" I whine.
"We'll be back here later don't worry about that."
I roll over to be face to face with Ross.
"You promise?" I ask.
"Promise." He replies.
We both start leaning in until our lips touch. I don't know about Ross but I wasn't going to pull away anytime soon. He deepens the kiss and I happily follow his actions. We finally pull apart but as soon as we do Ross makes his way down to my neck.
"Ross." I moan.
He doesn't respond.
"Ross you said we have to get up." I say breathless.
He stops and looks up at me.
"Later?" He asks.
I bite my lip and peak him on the lips.
"You promise?" He asks with a sarcastic tone.
"Promise." I laugh knowing what he was doing.
We both started getting ready for our whole day together or as Ross likes to call it 'date day'. I barley keep the smile off my face when I thought about today. I've never been more excited to spend the day with Ross, I have no idea why. It's not like I haven't enjoyed every other day with him. I guess I just have a good feeling about today.
Ross came out of the bathroom and sat down on the bed.
"I'm ready whenever you are." He tells me.
It looks like he is getting comfortable on the bed.
"I'm ready now, I was waiting for you. We'll be back here later though don't worry about that." I say repeating his words from earlier.
"Lets go then." Ross says getting up.
I roll my eyes playfully. He can be so oblivious sometimes, I don't think he noticed that I repeated what he said. I was trying to joke around with him but I obviously failed. It's like he is distracted by something.
"Where are we going first?" I ask leaving the apartment.
"I was thinking we could start walking and then whatever we feel like doing, or whatever catches our eyes, we do that. After all you can't plan fun." Ross replies.
"I like that idea. It's all up to fate to see what happens."
"Since when do you believe in all that stuff?" Ross questions.
"I don't know if I do or not but I do think it's luck that we saw each other at that cafe."
"Or maybe we accidentally did. You know the whole by coincidence thing?" Ross states.
"So you think that we accidentally ran into each other and we happen to be back together now? Even though we were both with other people at the time?" I question Ross.
"Yeah maybe." Ross shrugs.
By now we had started walking down the street. We hadn't been walking for that long but so far I didn't see anything that has 'caught my eye'.
"Hey what about we go to that cafe that we first saw each other?" Ross asks excited.
"I don't see why not."
As I walked in I got these goose bumps. Chills ran through my body. Good to be back I guess..? Everything still looks the same after all this time. We can pick where to sit and since we were both on opposite sides of the room last time we decided to sit right in the middle.
It's weird to think how much as changed since we were both last here. I mean last time I was here I was telling Noah how much I loved him.
We both order a coffee, since we had a big breakfast and aren't really hungry.
Ross and are were talking when suddenly something we hadn't really talked about came up, our future. I guess I was having so much fun with Ross now that I didn't think about later in life. I don't even know what will happen. Will we stay together or break up? If we stay together will we get married and start a family? What about R5? I know at the moment we've been wrapped up in our own little word but it won't stay like that forever.
"I can't imagine my life without you in it. When I think of the future you are always in it." Ross tells me.
"I feel the same. I can't imagining loving someone else as much as I love you."
There is something comforting knowing the person you love, loves you just as much back.
"What way now?" I ask as we walk out of the cafe.
Ross looks both ways then he does a double take and he follows something in his sight with his eyes until he loses it.
"What were you looking at?" I ask curiously.
"Do you feel like going for a drive?" He asks.
"Huh?" I ask confused. "I mean yes I would but where?"
We walk back in the direction of our apartment to get the car.
"Should we see where the car takes us?"
We've been driving around for a bit and to be honest I would be happy just doing this. It has been so much fun.
"I know what we can do!" Ross exclaims.
"What?" I ask getting excited.
"Why don't we go to the beach? It's not that far from here."
I get excited for a second at the thought of that but then I realise something.
"Ross, we aren't dressed for the beach." I say disappointed.
"I'm sure there is a shop we can go to." Ross says optimistic.
We park somewhere close to the beach but still not too far away from everything else. We start walking around and Ross was right there was a place, actually I'm not surprise we are right next to a beach. We find the nearest toilets and get changed. On our way back to the beach we put our old clothes in the car. When we get down to the sand we race each other to the water.
"No way I totally won!" I tell Ross.
"Are you serious? I was in the water like a minute before you."
"You were not!" I splash water at Ross while I speak.
Ross puts his hands up in surrender.
Next thing I know I'm being tackled by Ross into the water.
"You surrendered." I yell trying to escape.
Ross gets distracted for a second and I use this opportunity to get out of his grip.
I start running away as fast as I can, water splashing everywhere from my feet.
It was going on like this for a while until I was getting too weak to even move.
"Ross I'm really hungry can we take a break now please?" I ask.
"You sure this isn't a trick? You've done that before." Ross says taking a couple steps back.
"Yes." I laugh.
"Okay, I'm going to trust you on this one Marano." He says slowly walking towards me.
When we are out of the water and Ross sees it isn't a trick he puts his arm around me and we smile at each other.
We start walking looking for somewhere to eat until Ross realises something.
"All my money is still with my clothes in the car."
We start walking back to the car instead. Ross is going through the clothes when he looks up and sees something then looks at me with a smirk.
"Change of plans get your clothes."
"What? Why?" I ask confused.
"We are getting changed now, okay?"
"Okay but why?" I ask.
"Just come with me."
I grab all my clothes like Ross says and we start walking somewhere. Ross has his arm around me again and I could really get used to this.
We stop outside what looks like a toilet block. I look up at Ross not really sure what he was getting at here.
"Why were you getting so excited over changing back into our clothes in toilets?" I ask.
I look at the sign.
"This is the mens, where are the women's toilet?" I ask.
"It's not toilets. It's a change room, you know with showers and stuff and the girls is on the other side but you won't be needed them."
Before I can say or do anything Ross looks around us then pulls us in. He looks around the changing rooms.
"Coast is clear. Now come here before anyone sees you." Ross once again pulls us into another room.
"I wouldn't have to hide if I just used my own change room."
"Where's the fun in that?"
I roll my eyes.
"Why didn't you just tell me that you wanted to shower together?" I ask.
"What if you said no." Ross says as if it was obvious.
He does have a point.
"I just thought it might be fun to have a shower together. We don't have to do anything." Ross tells me.
"Okay I have to admit that was the most dangerous but fun shower I have ever had." I say as we are walking back to the car.
"And to think you might of missed out if I told you what we were doing." Ross says smugly.
"Yeah, yeah." I wave my hand dismissively.
Ross puts our towels with our wet clothes wrapped in them in the car and we continue walking.
"I think your life would be a big bore without me." Ross jokes.
"I'm sure it would be." I laugh.
We see a dessert bar and decide to go inside. I could definitely go with some ice cream.
When we were done the sun was starting to go down.
"What now?" I ask Ross.
He didn't have to think he knew exactly where he wanted to go.
"I have the perfect place."
I knew exactly where we were going, to the look out where we said I love you to each other.
Half way driving there Ross groans in frustration.
"What it is? What's wrong? I ask concerned.
"Oh uh I just left something at our apartment." Ross says vaguely.
"Do you need it now?" I ask.
"Yes! It's important!" Ross almost yells.
"I guess we can stop by there on the way to where we're going. If we're going back there I might go up with you actually."
"I have a better idea. What about you drop me off and I'll catch a taxi up to the look out and meet you."
"But I want to go up and-" Ross doesn't let me finish.
"I can get it."
We do the plan as he said and I start driving away.
I'm about to pull up to the look out and then my phone starts ringing. Since I'm just about to park I let it ring out and I'll call back after.
I park the car and see that it was Ross calling me and I ring him back.
"Hello?" He answers.
"Hey, you called?"
"Oh yeah, I was just letting you know that I'm walking out of the apartment building now."
"Oh okay well I just got here so I'll just wait in my car until you get here." I reply.
"Yeah sorry about this but I shouldn't be too long. I should be there soon, hang on let me just check the time.."
"Ross you know I could of just told you the time." I laugh.
There's silence.
"Ross?"
Suddenly I hear a loud crash. I can hear all different types of noises in the background but I still couldn't hear Ross.
I've never been more terrified in my life. I don't even think I could speak if I tried.
Why wasn't Ross talking? Why wasn't he telling me about a crash he just saw? Why wasn't he telling me he is okay?!
I pull everything I have together to let out one last word.
"Ross?"

I wake up to the smell of delicious food. I take in the last bit of this peaceful state before I open my eyes. I turn over and see he isn't next to me like the way I fell asleep. I hear noises in the kitchen and that explains the delicious smells and my missing boyfriend. I hear footsteps coming closer to the bedroom and then I see his face appear and I grow a smile on my face without trying.
"Good morning, I made us some breakfast." He chirps.
"You're the best."
"I know."
He places the food in front of me on the bed. There is one big tray with two plates of food on it and two cups of orange juice. He walks over to the television and turns it on.
"I made us some coffee as well." He says running out of the room to the kitchen.
I laugh to myself. He is so thoughtful and caring. I was seriously a lucky girl to have him as a boyfriend.
He comes back with two mugs. He hands one to me and puts one on the table next to him. I take a sip. Ahhh just the way I like it.
"You really are you best, I love you."
"I love you too." He replies.
He gets comfortable next to me. He catches me smiling at him.
"What?" He laughs.
"Nothing."
He leans over and gives me a quick but passionate kiss on the lips.
Moments like this I wished last forever. I think back to the last couple of months and everything that has happened. I never thought I would be back here, again, especially with who's lying next to me right now! I guess everything does happen for a reason. Almost a year ago everything changed and in these past couple of months even more has changed but this time I think for good. I wonder if he thinks so too.
"Can I ask you something Noah?"

So that was the last chapter!! It really saddens me that this is the end of this book!! It has been an amazing experience writing this. This is my first ever book so it was a little scary starting it.
I want to give the biggest thank you to latenight_writer and ashelyfab. They have made writing this the best. Their comments really kept me going. If you haven't already you should check out their stories because they are really are amazing!!!
Also a huge thank you to everyone else who commented, voted, read this, or anything like that. It really doesn't go unnoticed, I see it all.
This is not all from me!! I have the prequel of this book (500) Days of Raura and more coming soon that I'm really excited about!! Maybe I could do an epilogue or something or even a sequel if you really want it. It depends how many of you actually want it though.
Sorry for making this authors note so long!! I don't really have anything to say about that ending... yeah haha, sorry.
Bye.
