Chapter 19.
*KATIE'S POINT OF VIEW*
Toby made everything different. One moment I'm planning a new life in a new country; next minute I'm feeling safe and sound still in Los Angeles and in the comfort of Toby's home. Something about Toby just made me feel calm and that nothing bad could touch me. He gave me so much to live for and appreciate that nothing could now pull me down. After hearing those magic and beautiful words from Toby it soon made me realise what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to spend it with Toby, or sitting in rocking chairs waving wooden walking sticks at the troublesome youth as he put it.
We eventually made it back to Toby's home. Gryphon greeted me eagerly at the door and I rubbed his belly as he rolled back and forth with his long saliva covered tongue hanging out in appreciation. Toby kindly carried my suitcase up in to his room and helped me to unpack. We had a comical debate about who gets what drawer and how much wardrobe space each of us was to get. Typical couple arguments. I liked to think I was finally leading a normal life for once.
I don't think I've ever felt this happy. I had spent my whole life being an outcast and waste of space; a waste of existence. Everything I did always had to have consequences and I was titled a freak of nature. But right now in this moment I felt genuinely happy with myself and my life for once. Of course the past will always be nasty and bleak for me. It will always be the fog in the back of my head. But now the fog was clear and out came the sun. That sun was Toby. The sun was Toby's beautiful eyes, his beautiful humour and his beautiful personality. The sun was the way he laughed, the way he always cared for me and they way he held me at night. I just hoped and prayed to whoever would listen up above that the fog never came back and the rain would not fall.
By evening me and Toby were cuddled up on the sofa and Gryphon was curled up snoring at my feet. The perfect night in. Despite the fact the television was on neither of us was watching it. We weren't really talking either but it was nevertheless a comfortable silence in one another's company. But then I piped up with a question I had been longing to ask. "What is it you like about me so much Toby? I mean there are millions of girls in the world and you have all these fan girls too. So what makes me so different?"
Toby looked at me as if I said the most absurd thing ever. "Katie I don't want a screaming girl who only wants me because I am a popular YouTuber. And I won't ever get the chance to meet every girl in the world either. But from everything that I know about you I know for certain I don't want anybody else. You could put me on a date with thousands of girls and I would still come running back to you. You're unique in your own way and I love that. You are beautiful in every single way and for that I admire. Does that answer your question?"
I laughed and snuggled in to Toby more. "Yes. Yes it does". I felt Toby answer with a kiss on the forehead.
"There was something I was meaning to ask you actually Katie" Toby began. "What's that?" I said looking up at him with the look of concern. "As you already saw I do gaming videos on my TobyGames. And seeing as you're officially Katibuscus now I was wondering if you would be in a few of my videos". I was surprised. "Really?" I said in a questioning voice.
"Of course" Toby explained "I am starting a new game called Rayman and I would like you to do the whole series of it with me "You can play a two player mode on it and I would like you to join me in playing it. What do you think?" I frowned. "But what about if the Audience don't like me?" Toby shook his head in response. "You've already been introduced as my girlfriend in a lazy vlog remember? The majority of comments all praise you! You will always get the haters and the trolls but they're just part of the internet. So, are you up for it?"
I smiled. Toby was so kind to let me live with him and such I could at least help him out with his videos as I knew how much they meant to him. "Deal" I said and held out my hand to shake Toby's. But Toby didn't shake my hand. He just grabbed it, pulled it towards him and kissed me; wrapping his arms around me.
Like I already said:
The perfect night in.
*AUTHOR'S NOTE* PS- Rayman was the game Toby played with Olga Kay. But let's not get in to an argument about mooshboop!
