Epilogue

I woke up with Bryan's arm wrapped around my waist. His even breathing tickled my back as I smiled. I'd been staying with him for the last week and today, since it was our day off, would be the day I officially move out of Juno's house.

It still all felt so new, so different... so awkward, and yet, so good.

We'd been over the stage where it physically hurt to be together to the stage when things started to heat up pretty easily, so easily, that sometimes we didn't manage to get to the room. I wasn't complaining. It was awesome.

I was still super shy, though. We'd been together for a few times already, but I still felt self-conscious around him. I always covered myself, something that he teased me to no end, because obviously, he'd seen me from every possible angle.

Added to that, I still didn't feel like the house was my home. I didn't even know where he kept most of the things. Like the toothpaste. I usually tried to wake up earlier than him to brush my teeth, but we ran out of toothpaste last night and I forgot to remind him to get one.

Cringing inwardly, I tried to pull away without waking him up. As gently as I could, I lifted his right arm and moved inch by inch towards the edge of the bed. I was sweating by the time I made it and I grabbed a t-shirt from the floor to cover myself. I was putting it on when I heard his husky tone. "I like that on you."

I clasped a hand on my mouth before turning to look at him. "I'll be right back." My voice came out muffled.

Bryan's lips quirked and a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes. He pulled away the covers and my eyes widened. He was so freaking perfect. "I can't believe you're still shy around me, Jess."

He sauntered to me and wrapped both arms around my waist, pulling me to him. My eyes widened. I was still clasping a hand over my mouth. "I have morning breath."

"So, do I. And you haven't seemed to mind every morning for the last month."

The t-shirt was rolling up, and I was unsure of what to do. To keep covering my mouth or pull down the t-shirt. Bryan didn't give much choice because before I could think more about it, he pulled the t-shirt up, managing to keep my hands off my mouth or my clothes.

I crossed my legs and placed an arm over my chest, completely wide-eyed. He ignored that as his eyes raked all over my body. "You're incredibly beautiful. I'm lucky to wake up next to you every day." Slowly, he brushed a hand from my shoulder to my hips. I had to close my eyes because my whole body was already humming from his touch.

His gaze was scorching, and it made me feel like I didn't have a chance to get to bathroom anymore. He pulled me to bed where he kissed me, not caring if I had morning breath or not and I completely melted under his touch.

After making love, Bryan hovered over me, staring at me with so much tenderness that my heart warmed. "I love you Jess. And I love you more like this, sweaty, with bed hair and no makeup. I mean, your breath is barely manageable but I can deal with it." I rolled my eyes as my cheeks warmed up. He smiled, that breathtaking smile that made my insides feel like jelly. "You don't need to wake up to brush your teeth. You don't need to try to keep appearances or whatever you feel like you must do. I love you, with bad breath or not." He stood up to clean himself and turned to me. "Ready for a shower?" He wriggled his eyebrows, and I had to laugh at him.

"I don't think we'll ever leave the house..."

"I promise not to start anything. This time." He raised an eyebrow and I swear I felt like hot rocks in the bottom of my stomach. "Besides, I do want to get your things home as soon as we can."

Biting my lip, I followed him with my eyes as he disappeared inside the bathroom. The rush of water started a second later and steam came out from the door. Taking a deep breath, I stood up and fought the urge to grab something to cover myself with before walking to the bathroom.

He kept his word. Twenty minutes later, he was rushing me to get to the car. We didn't even have breakfast. He stated that he was hoping to get one of those brownies or cinnamon rolls Juno made.

When his Jeep parked in front of Juno's house, my stomach rolled. It was weird to come back to get all my stuff, but at the same time, I was truly happy staying with Bryan. Even if I didn't know where half of everything was yet.

"Ready?" His tone was soft.

I turned to look at him and my lips tugged up. "Ready."

Before we rang the bell, Juno was already out the door. "Jessie!"

We hugged each other before she patted me on the back. "I really hope you haven't had breakfast, guys!" She embraced Bryan too before grabbing my arm and walking with me inside the house. It smelled delicious. Like cinnamon and fresh bread out of the oven. "I was expecting you guys a little earlier, but I guess you were busy." She wriggled her eyebrows and in the span of a second, my whole face was burning.

"Come on, Juno! We don't need to hear stuff like that!" Seth argued with a grossed-out expression on his face. Mr. Gomez, Carlos, laughed at him. However, they both stood up and gave us both bear hugs too.

I sat beside my little brother, and as Carlos asked Bryan something, I turned to Seth. "How are you?"

"I have a new room, if you haven't heard. Well, technically, I'll move in today, when you get all of your stuff out."

I smiled, but it didn't reach my eyes completely. "Good for you."

Seth rolled his eyes. "Okay. I'll admit it. I miss you," he added begrudgingly. "Although I'm sure you don't miss me at all." He signaled me with a fork filled with a piece of pancake.

My grin widened. "I don't have much time to miss you, dork. But you know, I don't have anyone to annoy."

My brother chuckled. "I'm pretty sure you'll annoy Bryan, eventually."

"I would never!" I retorted mocking offense. We both laughed together.

"So," Bryan reached out for my hand before looking at Seth, "What would you say if you spend next weekend with us? I got an Xbox and no offense," he lifted my hand and kissed my knuckles, "you suck at video games, Jess. I could use a partner in Call of Duty. What do you say?"

Frowning, I stared at him. I had no idea he had an Xbox because playing video games was the last thing we've done.

Seth glanced at Bryan, then at me. "I'd love to. Thank you."

"You can invite that girlfriend of yours for dinner so I can have someone to talk while you guys play video games."

He smiled. He knew I was making fun of him and his girlfriend. "Sounds like a plan."

We finished breakfast and June asked me about my new job at chef Olander's restaurant and such. All in all, we had a great morning.

After packing everything and getting it inside the car, we said goodbye. It was teary and emotional, and it didn't matter that I was living twenty minutes away, both Juno and I shed tears as we hugged good bye.

I sniffled at the same time Bryan started the car. He grabbed my hand and smiled at me. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, Jess. You know you can invite them all over anytime you want, right?"

"I know," I shook my head. "Thank you for inviting Seth over the weekend. He's really excited." Bryan squeezed my hand grinning. I frowned. "By the way, I didn't know you have an Xbox."

He chuckled. "I don't. We're on our way to get one."

My lips tugged up at the same time my heart soared for him. "Were you trying to impress my brother?"

Bryan glanced at me for a moment before starting the car. "I know you miss him, so I think it's kind of cool to have him over every other weekend."

A warm feeling ran through me. He was doing it for me. I fell in love ten times harder for him. "You know? Seth probably knows what a softie you're becoming because I don't suck at games. I've played them for a while and I can kick ass."

The car jolted as he stepped on the gas. "Good. Because you'll have to teach me. I might want to bond with your brother, but I don't want him to look so smug about it."

I laughed. Gosh. Bryan, is a keeper, for sure.
