Standard disclaimer, I don't own Young & Hungry
Gabi and Josh took their seats as the train began to pull away from the station. They sat beside each other but turned so they were facing each other. They were holding hands and neither could stop smiling.
"I can't believe this happening, five minutes ago I was sitting here bawling because I thought you were never going to remember me or that you would remember that you don't love me and my soul would be crushed forever" she said.
"It was the song" Josh smiled happily. "The second I heard it I remembered everything, I'm so glad it came on" josh said with a sudden realization. He grinned and shook his head. "Elliott"
"What about Elliott?" Gabi asked curiously.
"I was about to go for a run and Elliott had my phone. He said he was charging it but he must have set it up to play that song"
"Elliott who? Because that doesn't sound like the Elliott I know" Gabi teased.
"It's true Gabi, we owe our happiness to Elliott"
"And there it is" Gabi said "You can bet he is never going to let us forget that" she said as she scooted in beside him and lifted his left arm and inserted herself under it, which he happily obliged, pulling her in close and wrapping his arm securely around her.
"So that song brought it all back huh?" she asked.
"Yeah there was always something there Gabi, from the first time I laid eyes on you. I guess I never wanted to acknowledge that because I was with Caroline and it seems kind of messed up but it's true"
"It wasn't messed up. You and Caroline weren't right for each other. If you had been there wouldn't have been anything there for you. It was there for me too. I had such a crush on you, you were so adorable and sweet and fun and I just thought Caroline was the luckiest woman in the world to get to be with you" she said.
Josh smiled adoringly at her and kissed her tenderly.
"And then that bitch broke up with you and made you sad and I wanted to punch her" she said, causing him to laugh. "But I was also secretly happy" she admitted "Even though I didn't really think I had a chance with you"
Josh kissed her again. "Well now you are with me and I know this is right. It's taken us a ridiculous amount of time to get here but I know you're the only one for me Gabi"
Gabi kissed him "I love you so much Josh"
"I love you too" he smiled back.
"How many times do you think we will say that on this twenty eight and a half hour trip?" she asked.
"Mmmm probably a lot but it will never be enough because I will never get tired of saying it and hearing it"
"My God you're cute. It's a good thing Sofia got off the train because she would be so disgusted with us right now"
"What do you think should we share our super sappy in love grossness with everyone?" he asked pulling out his phone to take a selfie.
"I think we owe it to everyone who has put up with us all this time" she agreed.
Josh had his arm wrapped around her shoulder to shoulder and Gabi had her hands on his arm. He was kissing her cheek as she smiled happily in the pic.
Josh posted it with caption traveling to Aspen, CO with the love of my life Gabi Diamond. Thanks Elliott and Sofia and everyone else who has put up with us for the past two and a half years!
"Now we're Facebook official"
"Yeah I mean declaring your love for each other is one thing but it's not serious until you put it on Facebook" Josh teased.
"Obviously" she teased back.
"Wait, you heard the song and remembered me but how did you know you love me?" she asked.
"I knew I had feelings the whole time but I went along with the punch card thing because I thought that was the only way to be with you at all. When I went on that date we went to get yogurt and she used the last punches and I lost it. I realized it could be over and the thought of that killed me and I told her I didn't want it to be over and that I loved you. I didn't even realize I was saying it until I heard it. So that was probably the worst date ever" he said, causing her to laugh.
"So you were going to tell me you love me that night?"
"Yes but I got a head injury instead " he grinned.
"Well I had feelings all along too, I didn't want to admit it because I was worried that would mess everything up between us again but then you decided to go out with Marissa and It killed me inside so I set out on one of my Gabi schemes to get them back together but this time it actually worked out so yay!" she said showing him a Facebook picture of Marissa and Vinny together"
"I'm glad it worked out. She really loves him"
"He really loves her too. The world just got in their way for a second there. Maybe we will be invited to their wedding" she said.
"Maybe they will be invited to ours" Josh responded, causing Gabi to beam from ear to ear as she snuggled in close for the long ride.
