A/N: I am sooo sorry about the long wait! I mean I really apologize. I know I said I was going to update and everything but with FFN acting up and then my Japanese class, I just became so consumed with that. Then I took a trip down to visit my family in Texas for the summer and between that I am taking more tutoring classes to further my learning of Japanese so...yeah. Plus I couldn't think of a way to end this, even though at the time I did have an ending in mind. Well FFN kind of ruined that when the updating thing was being annoying. So yeah. I decided to type something up sort of quick to give you guys as an ending. I'm not sure about a sequel. I'm kind of 'eh' about Bleach anymore. It's just becoming kind of old for me and not as exciting as it used to be. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this final chapter. I hope you enjoyed the whole story. Maybe I'll come back and edit through it and correct mistakes. If I do come out with a sequel then a notification should pop up if I'm on your author alert thing.

What else? I just hope that this story turned out complete (even though I am at the end) and it took you on a ride from Grimmjow and Nel's relationship to Nnoitra's creepiness and stalker-like behavior to now them closing a chapter and starting up again. I'm actually happy with this story because I got everything out that I wanted, I finished it which is a big thing, and I was able to get people to read my story and enjoy it as well. So I hope this final chapter is okay with everyone. I am leaving it as such so it can open a new door if I want or just leave it closed. I mean, who knows if the plot bunny will bite me and I get a bug up my butt and start writing a sequel to this.

Alright, sorry for rambling on so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you to EVERYONE who has read this story, left a review, added it to your favorites and added me to your favorites as well! You guys are awesome and while I may not have responded to all the reviews (I apologize for that) I still read each and everyone and thanks a lot! It means a lot to me to get positive feedback and even decent critiques on how to make my story better. So thank you again and I really do hope you guys enjoyed the story. :)

~~~One Year Later~~~

Nel wiped her dirty hands onto her ripped pair of jeans and brushed a few strands of hair out of her face. She blew out a tired breath before cracking her back and stretching her arms.

"Glad that is over with," she said as she walked into the living room.

"Finished already?"

She plopped down onto the couch and leaned up against the warm, hard body of her boyfriend.

"Yeah, no thanks to you," she glared at him.

Grimmjow jerked his thumb towards the t.v., "game."

Nel frowned and grabbed the remote, turning off the soccer game, earning a protest from Grimmjow.

"Why'd you do that for? We were in the lead!"

"Because, you are supposed to be helping me and I still have three more rooms to paint."

Grimmjow rubbed his forehead, eyes closed as he tried to relieve the oncoming headache. He knew he was supposed to be helping with the painting (that was planned over three weeks ago) but he was quite frankly…lazy…even though he wouldn't admit it.

"Come on, Grimmjow!"

She then pouted, "don't you even care that I almost fell off a ladder while painting the den in your favorite color."

"I'm not buying it."

"But…" she turned to face him better. She licked her lips and her voice lowered, "won't you find it really romantic and sexy when you walk into the bathroom and it fits the mood?"

He shifted slightly.

"Just imagine it," she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Me…in the tub with bubbles…naked…candles and soft music playing in the background and the wall not being a hideous color."

Grimmjow snorted, "why would I pay attention to the color of the wall when you will be naked in the tub?"

Nel pushed away from him and crossed her arms over her chest, "because I will be and I don't want to look at an ugly white wall!"

"Are we seriously arguing over painting bathroom walls?" his blue eyes piercing into hers.

"Yes."

Grimmjow growled softly.

Nel didn't back down.

"I won't leave you alone and let you watch the other game that is coming on," she grinned. "Yeah, I know there is another one and I will nag you the whole time."

Now Grimmjow had two options, either try to ignore her and finish watching his game or just hurry up and paint the rooms she wanted and then enjoy his game later on. Knowing how bad Nel's nagging could be and how much she would pester him, plus the possibility of her holding back sex…that did not sit right with him.

"Fine."

Nel jumped up and clapped her hands together, "thank you! Now let's paint the kitchen. I have extra brushes for you and since you are tall you can get above the cabinets. I picked out the best color! It's a light yellow to brighten up the room but not too yellow to where it is sickening. I was thinking of painting patterns as well but not sure what…hmmm…what do you think Grimmjow?"

"I think we either start painting or you're on your own," he replied, standing up and heading towards the kitchen.

Nel followed behind, rattling off more design plans she had for the rooms.

Later that night, after a long day of painting and moving furniture around, both Grimmjow and Nel were lying in bed. Nel had her head resting against Grimmjow's naked chest as she ran her fingers over the skin.

"Thanks for helping me today."

He grunted in reply, his hand moving through her hair.

"I like this."

"Like what?"

"You and me, lying here after a long day of work. I've grown to enjoy it lately."

"It would be more enjoyable if-"

Nel laughed and cut him off, "we are not having sex, I'm too tired."

"Bitch."

She kissed his chest and giggled, "love you too."

She sighed softly, "did you ever think we would wind up at this point?"

"Not really."

"I didn't either. I thought you were an asshole and wish you would disappear."

"Heh, I thought you were a bitch," he chuckled. "Still do."

Nel smacked him hard and Grimmjow yelped. She then kissed the red mark and continue to run her fingers over the now, reddened skin.

"I'm glad we are able to have peace though. It took a long time. I mean if you didn't show up in my life then…"

Grimmjow's hand tightened in her hair. He realized what he was doing and released her hair, going back to fingering the soft strands.

"Well don't think about it anymore, Nnoitra is behind bars and won't be getting out for a very long time."

"Even still, all the crap that he did," she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be thinking about all the bad things when everything is so good right now."

Grimmjow shrugged, "you're a woman, that's what women do."

Nel sat up and glared at him, "and you're still a jackass!"

"Calm down, bitch."

Nel went to smack him but he caught her wrist and tugged her down before rolling on top of her, pinning her with his body. She struggled against him but he just chuckled and pinned both her arms above her head.

"Let go of me!"

"No way, not when I have you like this."

"Ugh, you're such a pig!"

He smirked and leaned down, capturing her lips in a hot kiss. Nel struggled against him but sighed after a while and kissed him back.

"I told ya," he said after he broke apart their kiss.

"Told me what?" Nel asked in a dazed state.

"You couldn't resist me."

She rolled her eyes and struggled to get her wrists free, "can you let go now? You're heavy."

Grimmjow shook his head as he ground up against her, the smirk never leaving his face, "I have a better idea…"

"You have work in the morning."

"So do you."

"I have to be up earlier to make sure my brothers get to school."

"I think they are more than capable of getting themselves off to school now."

"But-"

"I think you're out of excuses, Nel."

She bit at her bottom lip, her heart thumping away in her chest. It was so hard to resist him sometimes.

"Well…" she grinned. "I did want to finish decorating after work."

"Fine."

"Really?" she looked surprised that he agreed so quickly but then again she was offering sex for his help. And in Nel's mind that would totally be wrong but considering it was her and Grimmjow and that was how they worked together, it was totally right.

Nel giggled, "I love you, Grimmjow."

Grimmjow grunted in reply before capturing her lips into another kiss.
