Enjoy this cute little epilogue I pieced together to give my fic 8 chaps. 8 is a good number. Warning, it's a pretty cheesy ending. Real sappy and stuff.
Special thanks to DaMastah101, who provided me with the concept that made this awesome fic possible. Thanks, bro!
"Hey Miguel, want some peanuts?" Josie offered, tossing a tiny packet of in-flight snack food at Miguel. Miguel was too excited to eat anything right now; this was his first time on a plane. He didn't know what to be more excited about: that, or the fact that he had finally gotten away from the cesspool of sin he had created. All of those bad memories were behind him now; this plane was taking him to a new beginning.
"If you want, we can stay in Sydney for a while after I do this photoshoot." Josie said, poking Miguel a few times to get his attention.
"I don't care where we are as long as I'm with you." Miguel replied.
"Awww you big sweetie. Are you trying to make me hot for you on a plane?"
"Maybe." Miguel grinned. His hand crept over to Josie's and gently grabbed it.
They just sat in silence for a while, holding hands and feeding each other airline peanuts. It was a nice contrast to the chaos and turmoil they had faced before getting here.
"Josie..." Miguel finally spoke.
"Hmm?"
"I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. You've changed my life, given me opportunity, and helped me get clean."
"How do you feel, by the way?"
"I feel... great! I feel as good as new!"
"And you're gonna stay the way, too. As long as I'm with you, you're never gonna go back to being the bad Miguel. Cause if you do, you're getting a knee to the face!"
"Heh, you'll do it won't you?"
"Damn right I will."
The two of them sat in silence for a few minutes, feeling perfectly content. But Miguel still had one more little thing to take care of. It was a gnawing feeling in the back of his mind, buzzing in his head like an annoying fly. He took a deep gulp; it was now or never.
"Hey Josie?"
"Yep?"
"There's something I need to say. It's... not something I've said often in my life. In fact, I've only said it to one person."
"Yes?"
"And well, I don't really know how else to say it-"
"YES?"
"It's kinda hard to get the words out, since I'm not really used to it-"
"YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS?"
Miguel closed his eyes and leaned in close. With a deep breath, he planted a deep kiss on Josie, who smiled and happily returned the favor.
"I love you, you crazy chica."
THE END
