Hey again!

So, I literally JUST posted chapter 9. And I'm already doing chapter 10! Haha, you guys that have followed me/followed the story are gonna get so many email notifications today But I hope you don't mind!

So, I'm sad that this story is ending, I really am. But, I'm SUPER excited for all the new stuff I have coming your way SO soon! And I hope y'all are pumped too! 2016, here we come!

I think that's all I have to say, so, enjoy the final chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Ross, Laura, Raini, Calum, or anything else you see that you recognize.

Recap from Chapter 9:

"Ross, this is so perfect! What a great first date! Thank you!" I say.

"Anything for you, Laur. Anything for you. You're welcome!" he smiles.

Ross POV:

I'm so glad Laura likes this. I was super nervous if she'd like it or not. I'm hoping that tonight, I'll gather enough courage to admit to her that I love her.

"Erm, Ross? Earth to Ross?" I feel her shaking my arm.

"Sorry, lost in thought, I guess!" I say. Everyone knows I'm a deep thinker. They also know not to interrupt me when I'm thinking. But for this beautiful girl, I'll always make an exception.

We sit next to each other on the sand for a while, staring and listening to the waves. We're wrapped up in a blanket, together. I can tell my body heat is transferring to hers.

"Laura, I, I, I, um," I stutter.

"Ross, what is it?"

"Well, um, I just, I wanted to tell you, um…"

Laura POV:

What was he having so much trouble telling me? This has never happened before.

"Go ahead, I won't judge." I say.

"Laura, I love you. I always have. Since the very first time I laid eyes on you. The day we auditioned for Austin and Ally. I knew we'd get the parts, and I knew that we'd be best friends. Laura, I'm so glad I took you out on a first date. And I'm so glad we're best friends. But I'm ready to take our friendship one more step forward." He says. I just look into his eyes for a minute. "But, if you don't want to, that's okay…"

"Shhhhhh," I say, putting my finger over his lips. "Ross, I honestly feel the same way. I wasn't sure if you felt that way about me. That's why I never said anything. But I'm so glad you said something. I mean, we probably would've had these feelings bottled up inside us forever. So, thank you." I say.

"So Laura, it seems to me that we feel like more than friends. So, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"

I kiss him straight on the lips. Not a long kiss, but a meaningful one.

"I'll take that as a yes?"

Ah! Yay! The perfect end (In my opinion) to the perfect story! I hope you guys liked this! I know my chapters haven't been very long lately. Again, that goes along with the whole improving my writing idea.

Thank you guys for staying loyal to me and my writing, even when I was gone for such a long period of time. I love and appreciate each and every one of you.

Love to all of you!

Have a good Christmas, and get excited for more new stuff soon!

For the last time on this story, hasta la pasta, lovelies! Bye!
