Quinn

*2 months later*

It's been a little while now since Rafe has been staying with us and after everything that went on with Gus. Me and Rafe are good again after talking out some things and we are still taking it slow. Not that slow though.

Everyone has been acting weird for the last few days though. I don't know what's going on but I would appreciate it if I could be in on the secret in my own home.

Since it's been two months though, let me catch you up on what has happened.

- Gus hasn't been seen since the gun thing

- Rafe asked me to move to OBX with him

- Sofia still doesn't know JJ is there

- Me and JJ are planning on talking once I move to OBX

Kinda forgot to say that in the beginning. So surprise! I'm saying goodbye to this house and leaving it for Zach and Genevieve for the summer. I am sad I won't be seeing them that much anymore, but it's like a new start.

Again...

I don't even think Genevieve will miss me at all. The only one she will miss is Theo. I promised Gen I would send pictures whenever I could. Gosh I'm going to miss these two so much.

I'm only bringing one suitcase for now and I'm having Gen ship out my other clothes later in the week so I won't have to live out of a suitcase. I know Rafe wound 't let me but I need to see how many clothes I can get rid of before I buy more.

I think that will be the first thing I do once I get my clothes all shipped. That way I can make some more cash. "Gosh I will miss you so much," Genevieve says as I put my arms out to hug her.

It wasn't meant for me. She goes behind me to pick up Theo off the ground and places a bunch of kisses all around his face. I have a feeling Zach is going to be getting a cat at some point.

"I'll miss you," Zach says, as we hug each other. Genevieve ends up letting Theo go so she can hug me. "Promise me you will text as soon as you land. Also don't forget about us," Genevieve whispers that last part.

"I promise," I say because it's true. How could I ever forget about my best friends. That would be like forgetting your favorite food or something I don't know. "Nice knowing you man," Zach and Rafe embrace in a little bro hug.

They have developed quite the bromance over the last two months. As we say our final goodbyes, I start to get emotional. They have been with me through it all. I'm going back to the place that brought me to them.

I know this John B kid would always say something like, The Outer Banks. Paradise on Earth. Something about having two jobs or two houses. Two tribes, one island.

Even though I never knew John B personally, from what I hear he was a great guy. I also knew he was from the cut because so were JJ and Sofia. Well Sofia wasn't always in the cut.

She told me one day that she used to be a kook, or one of those rich people who, funnily enough, lived right across from Rafe. She also met JJ on the kook side because he was cutting the Camerons grass.

Nobody will tell me how any of them died, not even Rafe. I found out how everyone else died but that family is the one nobody will ever tell me.

I also know that Rafe used to hate JJ friends which they call pogues. I don't know what that means still even though when I was there, I would get called one sometimes. Maybe because I'm living here forever now I'll finally know what it means.

I get broken out of my day dreams when Rafe taps on my shoulder. "Ready?" He asks and I nod as we get in the Uber waiting for us. "Are we actually doing this?" I say out loud. If you were to tell me two months ago what I'm doing, I would laugh in your face.

"Yup." That's the last thing the two of us really said for the rest of the car ride to the airport. Well that is probably the last thing we say to each other until we land. I think the anxiety was just eating at me. I couldn't say anything.

I don't even say anything when I step into my new forever home. We aren't even dating yet and I moved in with him. I don't think that's how it works but whatever. Theo already seems to be in his element.

I must admit it feels good to be here again. To make new memories and replace the old ones. I see Rafe bringing my suitcase upstairs and I follow him up so I can unpack and get my stuff put away.

"I'm gonna take a shower," I say and go to the drawer Rafe keeps his bigger shirts and head to the bathroom to shower. I didn't bring my soap so I use his and to say I love that I get to smell like him makes me so happy.

As I wait for the shower to warm up, I decide to play practice by Drake as my shower song. I take extra long in the shower just because I can. I decided to wash my hair and shave because it has been a few days and I'm starting to feel the hair grow back.

Once I get out, I wash my face and put my hair into braids. I feel cleaner with Rafes soap then mine and I don't like that. I don't care for now because I get to smell like him. Just because I can, I take a whiff of his shirt and feel like he's behind me.

It's like I can feel his arms wrap around me and his smell just that much more poignant. Oh, probably because he actually has his arms wrapped around me. That would explain it.

"I have a surprise for you," He says, covering my eyes. One thing about me is I am not the biggest fan of surprises. You see, one day at school, this kid said he had a "suprise" for me and he just hit me in the eye with a slinky.

I had a brused eye for a week. It's like he can feel me tense so he massages my shoulders and whispers in my ear, "It's good I promise." I sure hope it is.

He guides me into the bedroom and I smell vanilla. That is my favorite scent, I can't believe he remembered. Whatever he must be planning must be a big deal man because you don't just whip out the vanilla for no reason.

"Keep your eyes closed until I tell you to open them." Gosh this makes me want to shit my pants. Don't ask me why it just does. I don't do well with things like this. It stresses me out so much.

I feel his hands leave my face and I keep my eyes closed. I trust Rafe enough to know he won't do anything bad to me. Well that I know of anyways. I hear some shuffling around and my anxiety starts to really kick in.

What could he be doing? I hear him clear his throat and he tells me to open my eyes. When I do, I gasp at the sight in front of me.

I see the bed, decked out in tulips because he knows I like those more than roses. It shapes out to be a heart with wording in the middle.

Will you be my gf?

Then I see Rafe holding a bouquet of tulips and I want to cry so bad. I see the vanilla candles on the nightstand and Theo at the foot of the bed with a tie on. I could cry out of pure joy right now.

I don't make a sound for several moments. "Well? What do you say?" Holy shitballs I never answered. I nod my head so fast I think I gave myself a headache. "Yes!" I scream and run over to Rafe.

"Best day ever," I whispered to him. It truly is the best day ever. Even though we used to date before, he never did anything like this before. This day will go down in my history books for sure.

"I love you, Rafe. I heard you whisper it to me before after you got shot and I don't think I ever stopped loving you." It's true about what I said. I have never loved someone the way that I love Rafe Cameron.

"I love you so fucking much Quinn," He says as we share a kiss. The rest of the night was eventful if you know what I mean. We had to close the door so Theo wouldn't come in. I wasn't going to traumatize my baby like that.

Rafe

Who knew getting her to be my girlfriend would be so easy. The key is to actually listen to what they want, and I did.

I made it up to her for how I acted when she thought she could leave me. Now that she is my girl, the next step is to keep her mine by placing a ring on her finger.

She might think it will be too fast, but sometimes you need to move fast in relationships in order to be fully happy.

In the next few weeks, I will make sure Quinn becomes Quinn Cameron the moment I get down on one knee. I will finally get the girl of my dreams and she won't ever be able to escape me no matter how hard she tries.

For Quinn won't be able to get out the moment she says yes to marrying me.
