EPILOGUE
NO ONE'S P.O.V.
Three years later
"Mel"
"Jace"
Their names were called as they entered the restaurant. They took turns greeting the remaining five people; Alex, Ken, Olive, Jade and Sky.
"Wow, you look good, bro" Jade said doing the bro shake with Jace
Even though they don't work with them anymore, that didn't stop the growing, and now big deal, friendship of Jade and Jace
"I know, right?" Alex asked
"After three years" Sky said folding her arms
"Someone listening to you right now would think that was the last time you saw us" Mel said sitting
"Isn't it?"
"Olive and I just had a sleep over at your less than two months ago" Mel answered
Sky rolled her eyes
"Doesn't matter" she said
"Actually, it does. We guys had to have a forceful sleep over two" Jade said sipping his drink
"Ouch!" he exclaimed and everyone knew it was the result of Sky hitting him. They all smiled, excluding Jade
"Why do women always turn violent when they get pregnant?" Jade asked
"Do you want to see real violence?" Sky asked
"I love you" Jade quickly said and kissed her
"Hey" everyone protested
"What?!" Jade protested
"Even though you are married, please try and refrain from doing things like that" Olive said
"You can just do it with your own husband then" Jade said
Ken side hugged Olive
"Thank you but no please. As much as I love my wife, I prefer the whole world not being in discomfort because of me"
"I agree" Olive agreed raising her hand
"Of course you do, he's your husband" Sky said
"Did you guys plan to make me feel extra single today?" Alex, the only single person, asked
"Why didn't you get married then?" Jace asked him
"What of you?" Alex asked
Jace pecked Mel's cheek and raised an eyebrow at Alex
"Ah, I forgot. Forgive me, please"
Jace raised his glass
"No problemo" he said
"This is your second child, right?" Ken asked
"First one's a girl" Jace answered
"Wow. You do have everything set for you" Jade said
"But I didn't know you were into art" Alex said
Jace and Mel looked at each other smiling with a knowing look
"Well, let's just encourage him" Mel said then they laughed leaving the rest to wonder what they were laughing about
"Is Sara with your mom again?" Olive asked
"Yeah, she loves her grandmother a lot. Sometimes, I even wonder who she loves most" Jace answered
"Why won't she? The only thing you guys do is to cuddle a gun against each other every time" Sky said
"But I'm sure Jace is at the end of her love list" Olive said
"And why would you think that?" Jace asked
"Because it's obvious" Mel replied
"But isn't it fascinating?" Jade asked
"What is?" Sky asked
"The three of you are due at the same day" Jade answered
"I think it's more fascinating about you three couples" Alex said
"That might be true but, Jace and Mel were more surprising. Even though one could have guessed"
"She just loves me too much to the extent that she couldn't let me go" Jace said
They all laughed when Mel hit the back of Jace's head
"Ow" Jace said and joined them in the laughter
Alex looked at the message on his phone. He smiled
"Your daughter?" Ken asked
"Yeah. I might be single but, I have a daughter who always eager to see me. I'll be right back" he said and went to talk to his daughter
"An outsider would think that's his real daughter" Olive said with a smile
"She is. It doesn't have to be by blood"
After hours of talking and laughing, they all decided to call it a night promising to always be in touch with each other
"I love you" Jace whispered to Mel
"I love you too"
"Before we go.." Jade started and put him hand forward
Smiling, everyone joined
"On three?" Sky asked
"On three" Alex said and started counting
"One, two"
"BLAYZEE!!" they all shouted not caring about where they were
