Epilogue

Ten years later…

A bright light shined through the cracks of leaves on the old oak tree. In an effort to continue sleeping I rolled around connecting with a thick object. Peeping open an eye I let my vision stroll across the defined muscular chest. In happiness, I let my arm drape over the man's waist making our bodies closer. He made a grunting noise and I giggled girlishly as a muster of feelings brought butterflies to my stomach.

"Whatttt's goin' on?"

Clicking my tongue to the roof of my mouth, "Nothing."

"Eh," he twisted his head so that we were making eye contact. "Why're you awake so early?"

"The sun's out."

Frowning he muttered grumpily, "So?"

"Wade…" I whispered. "I'm bored."

"You're always bored," he shortly replied closing his eyes once more. I left him in peace for a moment letting him think that I wouldn't disturb him for a few more hours. Getting on all fours I pounced atop his chest making him groan as my knee connected with one of his ribs. "Zoie go play with the birds or something."

Sitting on him I sighed. My eyes scanned the valley we were resting in for the night. It was vast with lush green grass sprinkled all over the place. I think there was even a horse grazing in the middle of the open area.

"There's no birds to play with!"

"Dance with the flaming monkeys…"

I pounded my fist on his chest, "Wake up."

"No... I was just getting to the part with Mary Kate."

His hand grabbed my waist suddenly and a shrill scream erupted from my throat as I was flipped onto my back. Licking my lips I stared into his honey gaze with an amused grin. We were both silent as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes tiredly.

"You're pretty…" I broke out into a beam at his words. Bringing a hand to the back of his neck I drew him into a long kiss.

"I'm hungry. Gimme some food woman!"

Rolling my eyes I decided not to answer him. I'd grown too used to his babbling, "Where to now?"

"I don't want to go to work again," Wade grumbled. Childishly, he crossed his arms over his chest. "I feel like I just killed that stupid head Ajax a few days ago. Did we really go through the money that quickly?"

"It's been six months Wade," I giggled. "And we went on a very, very expensive vacation… and now we're homeless in a valley."

"We're not homeless if we have a roof over our head!"

"But we don't have a roof over our head…"

Wade pointed to the tall tree that hovered over us, "Yeah we do. Duh."

"What about food?" I questioned with raised eyebrows.

"You got your avocados, tomatoes, pickles, and there's a pond over there someplace where we could go fishin'."

"What happens if it rains?"

"There's caves for a reason."

Scowling up at him, "Wade. We aren't living here. And I now you're itching for a kill."

"Oh baby," he sighed dramatically giving me a sloppy kiss. "You know me so well."

And… that's how we happened. Wade and I weren't an ordinary couple; far beyond that. But we had one thing that made everything perfect. Love.
