"I didn't fart!" He whined.
"So, something just came out of your other end that had the exact same sound to it?" I questioned, trying to contain my laughs by biting my lip.
"It came from my mouth or well the back of my throat to be exact." He explained, looking embarrassed. "I guess you found my soft spot."
I was kissing his neck when he made that sound.
However, I wasn't quite sure I believed him.
"Really?" I said, my lips finding that exact same spot as I began to suck on it.
I heard as he began to pant his nails digging into my waist. A few seconds later I heard the exact same sound come out of Gavin that resembled a fart.
I began my second round of giggles as Gavin rolled his eyes keeping a tight grip on me as I laughed.
"Why do you make that noise?" I asked, my laughs finally beginning to subside.
He shrugged, "how am I supposed to know? I have never made that noise in my life."
I nodded my head, "okay. Whatever helps you sleep at night." I said, patting his chest with my hand.
Gavin opened his mouth to say something, however the sound of someone honking cut him off.
"Hey!" I heard a man shout, as we both turned to look at the man yelling to us from his car. "This is a public place, if you guys are going to have dry sex at least do it in your car."
My cheeks flushed in embarrassment, as the man drove away.
Gavin just shrugged, grabbing my hand and leading me towards his truck. "Come on, you heard the man. We will continue this in the car, girlfriend."
Stopped in my tracks, "what did you call me?"
Gavin looked at me weirdly, "girlfriend?" He asked, looking lost.
I smiled, even though he didn't directly ask me full out to be his girlfriend. I knew that he considered me to be his girlfriend and to be honest I found our whole argument pretty pointless, now.
I didn't need Gavin to be my boyfriend to know how much he loves me or how much I enjoy kissing him. Calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend is just a label.
"Gavin?" I called out to him, his head turning to face me. "I love you and your farting noise."
He chuckled, "I love you too and not only because you're The President's Daughter."
I raised my eyebrows, "what?"
He shook his head, "nothing." He said, throwing his arm over my shoulder and planting a kiss on my forehead.
I wrapped my arms around his waist as we walked towards the truck in silence.
"Gavin?" I called out to him, stopping him from moving any further.
He raised his eyebrows at me, "What's wrong?"
I took a deep breath, "I can't promise you a perfect relationship without arguments over our differences and trust issues. However I can promise that as long as you're trying, I am staying." I blurted out before I could stop myself.
"Where is all of this coming from?" He asked, looking a tad confused but also amused.
"The bottom of my heart." I said, giving him a small smile.
He pulled me towards him, kissing the top of my head, "this is just one of a billion reasons on why I love you." 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.
