"I'm allowed to be a little sappy, you're my fated mate."
Alix would never tire of hearing that. She pulled Veronica closer and kissed her again, savouring theconnection between them. She never would've thought that a random failed one-night-stand would lead to this but then again, she couldn't picture it going any other way. If her romance had played out like some flawless romance film, it wouldn't have felt likeherlife. The ups and downs and awkward moments were to be cherished because they were what made this real.
Her mum called their names and Alix reluctantly broke away from Veronica.
"Guess we're not done packing yet," Alix said with a sigh. Her muscles were aching and she was already tired of moving which didn't bode well for the unloading.
Veronica chuckled. "Just think of the light at the end. We'll be officially living together."
"That does sound good." Alix swooned just thinking about waking up every morning with her fated mate. It was going to be a dream.
"Don't forget we have dinner with my dad later this week so we can meet his new girlfriend," Veronica reminded her.
"Ugh... How many is that since my mum?"
"This is number three, but he says this oneis different."
"Is she?"
"No idea. At least he's actually divorced this time so that's something." Veronica shook her head, clearly not impressed with the whole thing. "And who knows, maybe this woman is going to be the one that sticks."
"Let's hope this one doesn't have any cute daughters though," Alix teased, snickering childishly.
"Oi!"
"I'm kidding. I know I'm the only one for you."
Veronica's eyes shimmered with affection. "Yes, you are. Now let's get that last box so we can officially move you in. I can't wait to start this new chapter in our life."
"Me either," Alix said, smiling so broadly, it was hurting her face. She was so ready for the next step in their relationship and looked forward to discovering what else life had in store for them.
