《Dear Bailey》Epilogue 4/4
Advertisement
We have danced for hours. My feet hurt but I wouldn't trade this night for any other. It was perfect. Lucas got away with a big surprise, but it might have been because I was distracted with my own surprise.
I hold him tight, our hands clasped together and the other flat against his back as he spins me around under the twinkling lights strung over us. His lips kiss my head and then my cheek. I can hear the boys in the background, laughing and talking and maybe I haven't known them very long, but they feel like they are mine too. My friends, my protectors, my family.
"Thank you, Lucas," I tell him.
"You're welcome," he says and then kisses my lips. "I thought for sure I would slip and give away the surprise."
"Surprises are hard to keep," I agree. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
"Tell me about it," he says with a relieved sigh.
I know it was rhetorical, but I kiss his cheek and lift up higher on my toes. "Surprises are hard to keep when you're keeping them from your best friend." I pull back so I can look him in the eyes. His are hazy with love and champagne. I can't help but kiss him again. His hand squeezes mine tighter and he pulls me closer.
"I think I'm the surprise master," he says. "No one can top this."
I laugh when he spins me around quickly, dipping me beneath the lights. When he rights me again, I'm shaking my head. He's looking at me curiously.
"I'm the surprise master," I tell him. When he stops rocking us I smile and hold his face gently between my hands. "You're going to be a daddy. Happy anniversary, love."

First Draft
Taking care of someone was hard. Harder still when the only job you can find is a graveyard shift at your brother's school, which is apparently haunted by a man claiming to be the devil. Oh, no, how horrific. I'm so scared. So, terribly, horribly, atrociously scared. Whatever shall I do? My life as a janitor is a simple one, and that clingy asshole won't leave me alone, so forgive me if I don't put enough gravitas into the situation. The only really scary prospect to this whole thing is that the KKK is in town, and I really don't want to deal with their bull. The gang activity is enough, why do we need to have an all-out war on school grounds? That will be too much for me to clean as a poor, lonely graveyard janitor. Old Summary: My gaze raised, and I observed the darkened face of the ghost, only visible feature being glowing red eyes. They faded into darkness, and I thought the offer over even as the body seemed to grow heavier in my arms. My first friend since this whole thing started, a few years ago. My brother needed to survive. That didn't mean I did. "What's the price?"
