"Did you manage to pull the strings and rent out the place for Noah?" Tayte asked me,

"With my charm, of course I did. Everything is put in place" I replied, he rolled his eyes at me,

"Don't roll those beautiful eyes at me, you know we're going to get enough of it from Arii tomorrow" He laughed,

"Do you really think my eyes are beautiful?" He said fluttering his eyelashes, it was my turn to laugh. "What time is our flight?" he then asked me,

"Midnight, which should get us into LAX at around 11ish, Dad said he'd pick us up, Angelo is keeping Noah busy until we've set up the venue"

"He's going to love it, his inner child is going to wreak havoc" Tayte told me,

"Hopefully, I mean after we went all out for Arii's 18th I think Noah deserves the same for his 21st. Oh lord, 21 years old, it honestly frightens me"

"So what are we going to do until then?" Tayte asked, I smiled,

"Not what you're thinking" I answered,

"How do you know what I was thinking?"

"When it comes to you, I'm psychic" he grinned,

"I think you've got that the wrong way round babe. I know everything you're thinking, I can read you like a book" He said,

"Well, what am I thinking now?" I asked,

"Kiss me" I chuckled,

"Nice guess" I answered as our lips collided.

We had dinner with Ricardo and his wife at 6pm and then said our goodbyes as we left for the airport.

"Is your Mum flying out?" I asked,

"She's already over there, she landed this morning"

"And what about her new boyfriend?" Tayte tensed up, I took his hand,

"Yes, he went with her" Tayte didn't like the guy, even though he hadn't actually met him officially yet, his name was Forrest, which he said was a stupid name. He was 45 years old, Commander Forrest Savea of the Metropolitan Police in London. He was born in Wellington, New Zealand and moved to the UK when he was 21. Jen met him 11 months ago, when she accidentally reversed into him late at night when she was in London seeing friends,

"Are you ever going to give him a chance?"

"Probably one day, but not right now," I squeezed his hand and then got up and went and took two champagne glasses off of the table,

"Your limp is so cute" He said,

"Shut up, don't remind me I can't walk properly"

"What is properly though?" Tayte told me, "You have come so far and I am honestly so proud of you"

"I feel in a good place at the moment. I mean, of course I still have the dreams and some moments I lose myself, but I have you and things have been going right this past year"

"And they will continue to go right as well, because I am going nowhere"

"The scars are still there though, they're not ever going to fade" I said,
