Chapter 19
It was late, Kirsty didn't dare look at her watch, and she was content sitting there in Kane's arms. Kane kissed the top of her head lovingly.
"We'd better get you home baby, it's getting cold"
"Where's home?" Kirsty asked. After what Seb had said, she couldn't go back there. But she wasn't sure if she was ready to go back to Kane's.
"It's where you want it to be." Kane was leaving all the decisions up to Kirsty. He didn't want to rush her.
But Kirsty knew what she wanted. She didn't want to leave Kane, and couldn't go back to Mr Stewart's. "Let's go home." Kane smiled and took her hand. They were going home.

They walked all the way back to Kane's house. It felt so special, romantic. Kirsty was smiling, holding Kane's hand. They arrived back at his house. They walked in and Kirsty looked around. The last time she was here she felt nervous, scared, but now it just all felt right, like the pieces of a puzzle, all fitting together.
"I even tidied up for you babe"
"Oh, so you knew I'd be coming back with you?"
"No, I just hoped you were!" Kane replied as he took Kirsty in his arms. "Are you happy? He asked.
"Very! You?"
"Yeah. I love you, you know. You're what drives me, my motivation. This past year without you has been hell. The amount of times I drove to come and see you but turned back. I used to pick up the phone to call you, or write a text or letter and never send them."
"I've still got your letter you know?" Kirsty said.
"That was the hardest thing I've ever had to write in my life"
"Let's just forget about it. We're together now and that's all that matters." Kirsty kissed Kane lovingly.
"So what now?" Kane asked.
"We act normal. I go back to school, you go back to work.
"If I still have a job" Kane reminded her.
"Well yeah, but most of all, we just get on with our lives, our new life together! But, since we're doing that, I've got to go to bed, otherwise I'll be asleep in Miss Fletchers lesson tomorrow.
Beds, Kane hadn't thought of that. There was only his bed; Scott's room was filled of boxes. Kirsty read his mind.
"Its okay babe, you can have my bed and I'll take the sofa."
"No Kane...."
"Really, it's fine. I don't mind. Come on I'll walk you up there. Come on"
They walked up the stairs and reached the bedroom. Kirsty turned around to face Kane.
"Well, sleep well" Kane replied
"Night. I love you." Said Kirsty as she kissed Kane and went into the room. Kane went back downstairs for a night on the sofa.

It was past midnight, Kirsty couldn't sleep. She gathered up her duvet and crept down. Kane woke up to hear the floorboards creaking. He opened his eyes to see Kirsty leaning over him.
"I couldn't sleep"
Kane knew what she meant. He shifted over and Kirsty lay down beside him, and they slowly drifted off to sleep.
