Epilogue
Andrea's pov

2 Months Later:

"Yes Mom, I packed condoms too." I say quietly.

"Just making sure. Don't want you getting pregnant any time soon." She laughs on the other side of the call.

"I'm so proud of you dear. You're growing up too fast. In two days you're starting college, soon you'll be at the altar getting married." My mother sobs.

"Ok Mom. My flights going to depart soon." I kindly put the phone down.

"How long was that?" I ask Savannah.

"A total of 37 minutes." She checks her watch.

"She just wanted to 'check in'." I quote.

"Babe, our flights going to go soon." Jonathon kisses Savannah's shoulder.

"Andy, promise we'll stay in touch." At holds out her pinky and we hug before Jonathon comes to say goodbye to me.

"What would I have done without you?" He laughs and hugs me.

"Probably fall of your skateboard and break your leg." I had taught him everything he needs to know about skating.

After a few more hugs and waves, Jonathon and Savannah make their way to the terminal.

It was currently 3:00 in the morning. The sky was pitch black and the airport was sparsley populated.

Jonathon and Savannah were setting of for New York right now whereas Zach, Ethan and Mia were already in Los Angeles, sorting out their apartments.

Zach had bought his own apartment and Ethan and Mia would be sharing one. Luckily, they were both next to each other.

Abruptly, I hear my phone chiming once agian flashing 'Zach'. I pick it up and hold the phone to my ear.

"Hey Andrea." I just wanted to see him.

It's only been a day, Andy.

"Hello Zacharia." I use his full name.

"When does your flight depart?" He yawns.

"In a few minutes." I answer.

"Have a safe flight to New York. Don't miss me too much." He teases me.

If only he knew.

"I will, don't worry." I assure him.

"I love you, Andrea Willow Parks." He wanted a reaction from me.

"I love you more, Zach." I say back to him and disconnect the call.

Until last week my plan was to go to Julliard. I had accepted the scholarship and if I hadn't declined the offer later on then I would be attending the best music school in the country.

However, I let my heart decide on this matter. I knew that Zach was far more important to me than anything else, so I accepted UCLA's offer for me to attend there.

Everybody knew about this besides the devil himself. My flight would be landing in five hours or so which means that I could surprise Zach in the morning.

At first Zach wanted to stay on campus but I had begged him to get an apartment. He was confused for obvious reasons but him buying an apartment meant that we could live together.

The announcement pulled me from my thoughts and I swiftly entered the plane after handing in my ticket.

Ironically, everytime I had come to the airport it was always for Zach.

The things we do for love.

I manouvre around the seats and sit down in my assigned seat. Luckily, I was given the window seat which meant nobody had to tell me to get up if they wanted to go to the bathroom. I absolutely dispised doing that.

After the plane had departed, I was in a drowsy mood so eventually fell asleep. My head was leaned against the back pillow allowing my back to be strain-free.

A few hours later I was wide awake. My eyes moved to look at the beautiful scenery out the window.

The sun was on it's horizon, glowing as it shed some calming colours. Watching the sunrise always soothed me and this sight was definitely soothing.

There was another hour yet to wait meaning I had to entertain myslef for those 60 minutes. The time was currently 7:15 and out flight as predicted to arrive at roughly 8:15.

To distract me I decided to think about Zach. Call me clingy or not, I loved him and this airplane had no televisions which meant I couldn't entertain myself with some drama.

I couldn't help but think of how Zach would react to see me. Would he be ecstatic or distressed? Maybe even angry?

I didn't know what to feel or think. All I wanted to do was see Zach. I couldn't smile unless it was him making me smile. I couldn't laugh unless he as the one making me laugh. He made me feel all different emotions, things that the human body shouldn't be capable of feeling.

Suddenly, I feel the wheels of the airplane make contact with the rough tarmac beneath it.

That was quick.

My ears burst and for a moment I felt as if I was deaf.

Once leaving the airplane and collecting my endless suitcases, I step out into the bare streets of Los Angeles.

In all my life I had only been to California once, which was for new years. I look around, noticing the gargantuan 'HOLLYWOOD' sign in white. I had a good feeling about this place.

After admiring the place, I put my hand out to hail a cab however many people had stolen my cab before I could retrieve one for myself.

It was only 8 a.m. and it was this crowded. I don't want to imagine what rush hour was like.

It had never been like this in Philadelphia. It's a good thing I didn't go New York. I don't want to imagine how busy it would be there.

Once hailing a cab and sitting in it before anybody could steal it from me, I sit in and the driver helps me with my luggage.

"Thank You." I show him some gratitude and slide into the back seat.

"Where to Ma'am?" He respectfully inquires.

"Can you take me to this address please?" I show him the address that Mia had texted me.

The helpful taxi driver carefully drives to my desired destination. A good ten minutes later and I had arrived outside Zach's apartment.

"Thank You." I pay him the required payment and he leaves ready to aid his next customer.

I pull my suitcases as I walk closer and closer to Zach's or should I say our apartment.

The moment I am stood inches away from the front door, I take in deep breaths.

Come on Andy, what are you nervous for?

My subconcious was right, for once. Why am I so nervous? Zach will be happy to see me and when he finds out that I'm attending UCLA with him, he'll be even happier.

"Deep breaths. You can do this." I talk to myself.

After calming myself down, my body makes contact with the door and I could hear somebody approaching the door.

"I'm coming." A familiar female voice says.

The person opens the door and I am met with my best friend.

"It took you long enough, didn't it?" Mia smiles at me and squeezes me

"I should say the same to you." I say in between breaths since Mia had nearly cut of my oxygen supply. "What are you doing in here?" I ask Mia curiously.

"Ethan and I came here to give Zach some company but we all fell asleep." He explains.

"That makes sense."

"Anyways, I'm going to go close the door. Knock again and I'll make sure Zach answers it." My best friend was a little coniving mastermind.

She closed the door and not a moment later do I knock on the door. It had taken quite a few knocks to get Zach up.

"Why do I always have to answer the damn door?" I could hear his voice.

He opens the door, rubbubg his eyes without without shirt on. Damn, he looks hot.

"Sorry we're not interested in strippers." He says before looking at me.

"Glad to know you're loyal." I laugh.

"Andrea! What are you doing here?" He hugs me and immediately my hands wrap around his broad shoulders.

"Nice to see you too 'Roomie'." He looked confused.

"What are you talking about?" He asks but Ethan comes running down the corridor before I could answer.

"What's all the racket...." He takes a look at me and hugs me.

"Andy. Very surprising to see you here. Had no idea you would be visiting. At all." He winks.

"You're so rubbish at acting." I hug him.

"Can you guys keep it down?" Mia follows Ethan's actions.

"Andy. When did you come? Had no idea you were coming to L.A." She also hugs me.

"You two are meant for each other." I point at the pair of them.

"Sorry." They both mouth a quick apology.

"Can somebody fill me in please?" Zach asked out of bewilderment.

"Come little Zach." I enter our apartment and sit him down.

"Record this. I want to see his reaction." Mia nudges Ethan who soon takes out his phone.

"You're scaring me." Zach says. "Are you pregnant? Because if you are..." I punctuate him.

"I'm not pregnant!" I stop him.

"Then what is it?" He was inquisitive.

"I, Andrea Parks, I hate that name, will be attending UCLA." His eyes widen and he jumps and kisses me.

"You're not joking, are you?" HE double checks.

"No." That was enough for him to kiss me again.

"What? Really. We had no idea." Ethan acts surprised.

"Ethan, shut up. You knew all along." I slap the back of his head.

"You knew?" Zach asks.

"Everybody knew bro." He says casually.

"Clearly, I didn't." He says.

"That was the whole point you nincompoop." I insult him.

"The nincompoop you love." He sits down.

"Shut up."

"But what about Julliard?" He looked upset.

"What about it?"

"That was your dream school. You love music. Just because I was scared of a long-distance realtionship didn't mean you had to give up your dream for it." He was feeling guilty.

"Can't you see? Yeah I love music, but I love you more." I say to him.

"But what about your music?"

"There's an amazing music programme in UCLA which would probably be the same as the one I would've been attending in Julliard." I explain and he smiles.

"I dont think you know how much I love you." He walks closer to me.

"Then show me." I purr.

Out of the blue, my back makes contact with the wall and his lips are hungrily attacking mine. His lips dod wanders to mine and every time he kissed me it felt like the first. His fingers slowly itching up my body grazing every part of my flesh.

We continued to make out until I could smell something.

I look up to see Ethan say there eating a bowl of buttered popcorn.

"Don't mind me. You may continue." I looks at us with utter interest and focus.

"Ethan." I call out his name.

"Hmm?"

"Get out." I point at the door.

"But I want to stay and this isn't your apartment so you can't tell me what to do." He tests my patience.

"It kinda is now." I say.

"But I don't want to go." He whines.

I look down at my phone, pretending to recieve a text message.

"Ethan?" I repeat his name.

"Hmm?"

"Mia just texted me saying she's lounging in her empty apartment naked and is in desire of some company." I say.

"See ya, guys." He runs out the house and into the one next door.

"Your so colluding." He states.

"But you love this colliding girl."

"I sure do." He tries to kiss me but I ditch the kiss.

"Why won't you let me kiss you? You've always let me kiss you." He makes a pouting face.

"Just because I live with you now doesn't mean you can kiss me whenever you like. We need some ground rules." I say.

"I haven't even proposed yet and you're already acting like my wife." I blush. "Enough about rules, I'm taking you out tonight." He says.

"Like on a date?" I ask.

"Yes, a date. You know that occasion on which an established couple, like you and I, go for a night out together." He explains.

"I know what a date is you idiot."

"Then why did you ask?"

"Because we haven't really been on a date since our first date." I shyly answer.

It was true. In all these months of dating, Zach and I hadn't really gone on a date. Yes, we always got food together and hung out but never a date night.

"Well that's going to change." He says vaguely.

"No go get dressed." He says to me. "You better have bought some sexy outfits with you from Phili." He winks.

"If you find sports bras, hoodies and joggers sexy then Yes, I have."

"So go get ready then." He says to me.

"There's like 12 hours left." I say. "What do I do until then?" I ask.

"I've got an idea." He says and begins to kiss me.

I could get used to this.

**********

"Hurry up Andrea." Zach calls me.

"I'm coming. I'm coming." I grab my snapback and rush to the front door.

"Wow. You look amazing." Zach takes one look at me and his jaw drops. I swear he didn't blink.

I was completely unaware as to why he reached like that. I was just wearing a crop hoodie, some joggers and a snapback.

"You better be taking me to McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Chipotle, Taco bell...You get the jist. All I'm trying to say is that I'm not dressed for a fancy restaurant." I say.

"Don't worry. I know you too well to take you to some fancy restaurant. We'll go there for our anniversary dates." I was glad he saw a future with me because I definitely saw one with him.

"Did you get the cash from Ethan?" I ask.

"Why Ethan?"

"Because he still owes me my birthday gift." I say and walk into the apartment next door.

I know I should've knocked but an was my best friend. They could be having sex and knowing my best friend they probably were but I didn't care to be honest.

"Ethan get off my best friend and cough up some cash you promised me last year." I hold my palm out flat infront of him.

He fulfilled my second command but the first was still in progress. Mia was still straddling him and I really didn't want to know what was going to happen next.

"I love it when your fiesty like that. It turns me on." Zach says.

"A cactus could turn you on." I state.

We continue bickering back and forth on the whole way there. Zach had both his Rolls Royce and Motorcycle with him in L.A. and I was getting somebody to bring over my Ferrari in the next couple of days.

"Madam, you have reached your destination." I look outside to see the 'McDonald's' sign.

"I love you so much." I hug him tightly and get out.

We both enter the conventional store and give our order.

The food finally arrives and I pay for the food with Ethan's money.

In the midst of eating, Zach and I decide to have a normal conversation instead of just bickering back and forth.

"I'm sleping on the right side of the bed. The window's closer to it." I inform him about our sleeping arrangements.

"So eager to get in bed with me." He laughs "You're already acting like my wife, I might as well put a ring on it." He jokes.

"And what if I say no?" I tease.

"Not possible. Who could say no to 'this'?" He acted way too cocky for himself.

"Maybe me?"

"Stop teasing Andrea. Just say you'll say yes." He whines.

"Okay, okay. When the time comes, I'll say yes." He smiles and then kisses me.

"Good." He kisses me.

"We're not engaged yet." I say.

"But we're one step closer." He pauses. "And the fact that you said 'yet' show that you see it too."

"See what?" I was intrigued.

"A future." He says the truth. I did see a future with him and the fact that that dream future might be getting fulfilled, warms my heart.

"If I was a random girl say here and you wanted to get into my pants, what pick-up line would you use?" I was eager to know and I wanted to change the subject.

"But I've already got into your pants." He smirks at me.

"Zach, just tell me."

"Anyone can sit here and buy you drinks. I want to buy you dinner!" He gives me the worst pick up like ever.

"Really? You're going to use that one?" He knew what I was talking about.

"It worked on you." He smirks again.

"Shut up." I say as I finish my food.

"Okay, let's get going." He says.

"Wait." I say and he stops waiting for something to happen. I quickly burp in his face and he whips his head around.

"That stank."

"I know." I laugh mischeviously.

"Anyways, let's go." He holds my hand hand.

"Don't want to be late on our first day of college tomorrow, do we?" I ask him.

"Wait, don't forget to get your drink." I retrace my steps to collect the can of soda that made me meet Zach in the first place.

Rapidly, I turn around but I clumsily pour all the drink on the person.

"Shit, sorry." I look to who it was and to nobody's surprise it was Zach. As I look at him, he pauses and then smirks at me.

The same smirk that got me falling to him in the first place.

"It's like Déjà vu all over again."

The End.
