Epilogue

"Gavin," I hissed, "can you please stop for like five seconds?"

He gave me a smirk, his face inches away from mine. "One... Two... Three..."

I narrowed my eyes, "I didn't mean it literally, moron." I muttered, shoving his face away from mine.

He chuckled, as he began to draw circles on my thigh. I guess it was a lot better than having him feel up my leg.

I grabbed his hand, entwining his with my very own. "You're a loser, you know that right?" I said, softly staring at his face.

He gave me a smile in return, "one of us has to be the loser in this relationship."

I let out a chuckle, after four years with this loser. There isn't a day where it would pass by without having Gavin making me laugh or smile.

I watched silently, as he interacted with Thomas. Both of them laughing at something one of them had said.

I bit my red nails as I stared around the room. We were at the inaugural luncheon that happened when a new president was welcomed into office.

Believe it or not after the eight years were up for my father and he couldn't run anymore. The next four years in office is believe it or not Uncle Robbie. Yeah, the one who was my father's VP when he was in term. Well, he decided to run and surprisingly he won. So he decided to run again in the 2018 election and I guess people still liked him so he is still in office for the next four years.

And yes, we are thinking about the same guy who used to come downstairs dressed in a bathrobe and ate frootloops and chatted with Thomas about the latest cartoon show. I'll bet you one million dollars that he still does the same thing, minus the Thomas part.

As for my father he decided to settle down, kind of.

Instead of running for VP, he ran for Governor. My father couldn't go very long without running for some kind of political election. So he was now the Governor of Virginia.

My mom was still the same, running her fashion line. While Thomas now fourteen years old was in ninth grade, he attended the local public school and surprisingly he wasn't a big deal. He actually was a big nerd, but I think we all saw that one coming.

As for Ricky he was now the bodyguard of Uncle Robbie. His position hasn't changed and neither has his personality.

As for Gavin and I, we were still the same. I ended up going to the University of Virginia gaining a degree in Social Work. It was kind of last minute in what I wanted to do, but my mother helped me pick. And since I loved working with children, opposite to Thomas. We both found that this was a career that I would enjoy.

Gavin did two years of business school gaining a degree, in order to help him manage the dance studio he is working on. It's in the works of repairs and will be opened to the public in two months.

"Hey."

I turned to face Gavin, giving him my undivided attention.

"Want to go dance?" he said, jerking his head to the dance floor.

There wasn't many people on it, so I complied standing up and making my way towards the dance floor hand in hand.

We didn't say much, our arms finding their way to the respected dance position.

My stomach was in knots, not just because I watched my brother eat a six pound steak. But, it was because I was keeping something from Gavin. And to be honest, I just didn't know how to tell him.

"Is everything okay?" I heard him whisper in my ear, causing me to snap out of my daydream.

I nodded my head, "why wouldn't it be?"

"You just kind of seem out of it."

"It's just been a long day. You know with the hair, makeup, managing Garrett." I said, with a shrug.

Gavin looked at me with sincere eyes, "if it was too much trouble leaving Garrett at your house you should have told me."

I gave him a small smile, "No. No, it was fine. Besides, Thomas was with him the entire time."

I rested my hand on his cheek. He hasn't changed, his hair was still the same messy bed head and his brown eyes still had that same mischievous spark.

We both swayed to the music not saying a word. Just listening to the lyrics and staring into each other's eyes.

"Charge!" I heard my brother and Garrett yell, seconds before Gavin was ripped away from me.

It all happened so fast, I watched as Gavin was now on the floor with Thomas and Garrett on top of him.

My eyes widened and so did everyone else in the room.

"Guys, get off him." I said, snapping as I shooed them off.

"This is not how we planned it Thomas." I heard Gavin groan.

Both boys got up and walked back to their seats as they left Gavin on the floor.

"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned.

He nodded sitting up. "Yeah I am fine, my head just smacked on the floor. But, everything is good as daises."

"Are you sure-" I stopped mid-sentence as I watched Gavin fidget with something in his pocket.

"I-is that-"

My jaw dropped as I saw him pull out a ring box.

You know that feeling when you were just about to go up a rollercoaster? Well that was my stomach as if now.

"Ali. I knew you were special the minute you poured food on my head when we started a food fight in the cafeteria. You've become one of the two most important people in my life and I love you. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

I gulped, biting my nails.

"Will you marry me?"

I didn't know what to say. Well I did but I just couldn't find it in my voice to say yes. So I nodded my head, tears beginning to pour down my face. He placed the ring on my finger wrapping me in a hug, kissing the top of my head as everyone clapped.

I was shaking and I didn't know if it was a good thing or bad.

"Way to steal my thunder, Storm!" I heard Uncle Robbie yell. While people laughed, "let's go back to celebrating why we are here. Right everyone?" People cheered, but it was all in good nature.

"I need to talk to you." I said, my eyes still glossy with tears.

"Can't it wait? Your mom is calling you over here," he said, as I turned around to face my mom. She was waving me over, wearing gigantic smile on her face.

"No, it can't." I said, exasperated.

I grabbed his hand as I led him outside of the banquet hall. When we were coming in I noticed a gazebo outside and I knew it would be the perfect place to talk.

"Alice, what's wrong?" Gavin asked, but I didn't say anything. "If this is about the proposal and it being too sudden let me know, because you're worrying me." He said, coming up behind me.

"UNICEF called me." I blurted out, "they offered me the job."

His eyes widened, "you got the Social Work job? Congrats!" He exclaimed, wrapping me in a hug.

I smiled, but I don't think he was getting it.

"Gavin, the job I applied to was originally in DC. But, something changed and now they are offering the job in Africa. Kenya to be exact."

"You're moving to Africa?" He asked, hurt.

"No Gav-"

"How many people knew about this?" He questioned, sounding exasperated.

I gulped the spit that was indulged in my throat. "Well there was Ben, Holly, Sarah, Andy, my parents, Thomas-"

"Thomas knew about this?" He shouted, "So you told everyone, but me. Is what I am getting."

"I didn't tell everyone, Garrett didn't know."

"Garrett is nine, he is at the stage where he thinks girls have cooties and blabs everything to everyone. I wouldn't even tell Garrett."

I let out a sigh, this wasn't going as how I planned it to be.

Gavin just let out a huff, as he took a seat beside me. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I would be gone for six months to a year, that's a long time, Gavin. I didn't know if I wanted to take it or not."

"How could you not? It was has been your dream since the start of university."

I didn't say anything, I just stared at my finger. Fumbling with the ring that was now placed on my ring finger.

"How long did you know?" He asked, quietly.

"Two weeks," I muttered out.

"Two weeks? Alice, you have been keeping this from me for two weeks?"

"When you think about it, those two weeks really flew by, huh?" I said, trying to change the topic.

"If you knew I was going to propose why wouldn't you tell me?"

My eyes widened, "knew you were going to propose? How the heck was I supposed to know? Last time I checked I can't read minds."

"Really? So you didn't get those subtle hints when I asked you for your ring size or when I asked you to describe me your perfect engagement ring?"

"You got it perfect by the way. It's beautiful." I said, smiling down at the ring.

"Alice."

"Look, remember that night we ended up in jail?"

Gavin muttered something incoherent under his breath but I couldn't quite catch it.

"And remember how we worked it out?

Gavin didn't say anything, continuing to mutter things I couldn't catch under his breath.

"Four years later and we still have trust issues. But, that is what makes us unique. Because in the end we kiss and make up and everything is right once again in Alvin world."

He raised his eyebrows at me, "Alvin world?"

"Do you prefer Galice world?"

"I prefer Gavin and Ali."

"But, we aren't separate we are together. And in one or two years you aren't going to be my fiancée anymore. You will be my husband and even if it means that I will regret marrying you every single day of the rest of our lives together. Doesn't mean I will ever stop loving you, even if I am half way across the world."

Gavin chuckled, wrapping his arms around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. "Your full of sentimental stuff today, aren't you?"

I looked up at him, giving him a toothy smile. "One of us has to be."

We sat quietly our arms wrapped together not saying a word.

"So, do you still want to marry me or should we call this whole thing off?" I asked, seriously. "Because I am pretty sure that if you do call it off, you're going to have some pretty mad Alvin fans."

"I am not going to call of our engagement. I knew I wanted to marry you ever since graduation day."

"That's not long enough, I knew you at least six months prior to when we got together."

"Would you rather me say that I knew I wanted to fuck you ever since I laid eyes on you?"

"No." I mumbled, my cheeks becoming hot.

"Then can it, and let me continue my sentimental speech." He said, causing me to roll my eyes. "As I was saying, even though you are a good fuck-"

"That wasn't what you were saying," I said, narrowing my eyes at him, pulling myself away from him.

"-you are also a bunch of other cute things that I'd rather not go into. You're also a girl I want to make babies with, I even thought about what I wanted to name them."

"Them?"

"Yeah, our babies. If we have a girl I want to name her Winter and if we have a boy I want to name him Thunder."

I mentally face palmed as I stared at Gavin in horror. "You want to name our future children Winter and Thunder Storm."

He nodded his head, seeming proud of his name choices.

"How long did it take you to think of that?"

"Not very long."

"I am not surprised."

"When do you leave?" Gavin asked, out of the blue.

"Well, last time I spoke with one of the representatives. I leave for Kenya in a month."

"So, we have a month to try for babies?" Gavin asked, is voice perking up.

I let out a chuckle, shoving him away from me. "Nice try, rainbow."

"Rainbow, I haven't heard that nickname for a while, my lovely nerd." He whispered, burying his face into my hair.

"I haven't heard the nickname nerd for a while."

"Because I realized how stupid you really are."

My jaw dropped open, "says the one who wants to name our children after weather. It's like you're asking for a death wish by two future teenagers."

"They will think their names are cool."

"Yeah, when they are toddlers and they don't know any better."

He began playing with my ring. "I am going to miss you."

"Gavin, I am still here."

"I already miss you." He continued, saying.

"Gavin, I am right next to you."

"I know. It's just that your stupidity is rubbing off on me."

I scoffed, elbowing him in the side. Gaining a sharp intake of air.

"At least I don't have to worry about any African guys trying to sweep you off your feet."

"Because no one wants a girl like you."

I gave him a look, "okay I am done with you." I said, getting up from the chair and making my way back towards the banquet hall.

"Wait, Alice come back! I meant no one would want you because you have a ring on your finger, it means your taken. If you're confused. "

I turned around, tucking my curled hair behind my ear, nodding my head as if I believed the shit he was feeding me. "Are you going to continue insulting me or should I just throw the ring back to you and storm of like all main characters do in books and movies."

He rested his arms on my shoulder playing with my hair. "If anyone is the main character in a book it's me."

"I don't think so, my life was always more interesting than yours."

He cocked his head to the side, a smirk playing on his lips. "Is that so?"

I nodded my head, "Yeah. And the book would be titled The President's Daughter and it would be about a seventeen year old girl who finally gets the chance to go back to school. She encounters a bad boy, or what he thinks of himself as a bad boy but really he's a huge softy on the inside, who wants to sleep with the girl. But, soon falls for her beauty and intelligence. The girl then begins to navigate her way around the real world with the help of her friends and soon to be lover."

"Soon to be lover? Softy? Ali this is not some John Green book."

I nodded my head, a smile playing on my lips. "I know. It's better than a John Green book."

"I am going to miss your stupidity." He said, softly, wrapping me in a hug.

"Don't worry, we have a month. I will try to be as stupid as possible, just for you."

"I honestly don't know how I fell in love with someone like you."

I shrugged, "technically you didn't fall in love with me. You fell in love with the President's Daughter." I clarified.

"Please just stop talking. Your making me lose brain cells," he whispered, his lips centimeters away from mine.

"You do that on your own," I scoffed. "Winter Storm, who comes up-"

I was cut off when Gavin pressed his lips onto mine. He probably did that so he could save the little dignity he had left for himself.

We were both twenty two and the feeling of Gavin's lips pressed with mine was still the same feeling when he first kissed me, five years ago.

The feeling of his lips were enough to drive me over the edge and send sparks flying throughout my entire body.

I pulled away, "we need to get back." I said, slightly out of breath.

Gavin nodded his head, his eyes closed. "I know, I know. Just one more kiss." He said, pulling me back in for another kiss.

I know even though I am leaving for Kenya in a month. We were going to get through this, we always did, with whatever obstacle came our way. With Gavin in DC managing his dance studio and being the legal guardian of Garrett, he was doing it on his own before, now he just has a dance studio to care for.

Because in the end things were going to be okay. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but eventually it will all be okay.

Because that was the story of Alvin or Galice or whatever you want to call us. We weren't perfect but we were always and forever going to be okay.

And that's the beauty of once being The President's Daughter.
