I couldn’t help but feel insecure again. I should be out of my mind with happiness. And I was. But a little piece of my mind was having other thoughts; thoughts that were causing me to doubt and feel scared. Again.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA392qifgik
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgcxuNv8bx
Damien once promised me that he’ll never leave. Actually no. He didn’t promise that. He promised not to cheat on me. Then I guess the fact that he left me five months ago was different. He didn’t break a promise. But he did break my heart.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllBUaCzlrY
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMN4ZQDhrI
A heart that I thought was healed in Italy when he told me he loved me for the first time. But a part of me was still suspicious. Then again, maybe there wasn’t a way to completely feel secure in a relationship. I knew that sometimes he could see right through me, read the fear in my eyes, because he would assure me that he loves me as soon as he noticed the slightest change in me.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorutwHt1nq
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfHFm9SRZk
But now it was a different fear. Damien was clear about his feelings from the start. I was the one holding back, too afraid to show him how much I really love him and that made him feel insecure. I could tell because everytime I mentioned Alex, his eyes would change and he felt the need to hear how I felt about him.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgvVVJNgns
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YPybRh0Ik
Now, I was scared that he asked me to marry him because he felt insecure. But we were both clear on our views on the matter; “If a person wants to cheat, it will happen; married or not”. So I doubt that marrying me would make him feel safe and secure.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4wx4m0BRT
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT2jLR2GVc
So what was it? Why I couldn’t just let go and be happy? I needed another opinion. I knew that Damien was Cleo’s brother but she was also my best friend. Thankfully, after we made up, she didn’t seem to have a problem with my relationship with him.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnITrWwJL1Q
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUAP81DSx2
“Where are you?” I asked Cleo on the phone.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk1OfqZb9T
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZfjtRnnRQ
“Home, what’s up?” she asked.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1oqRuT1g1
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NmZHgUYzA
“Oh, good. I need to see you. Can I pick you up in a while? Some shopping is in order,” I replied.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdptqmaqH1
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGvjFq8WLM
Half an hour later, we were inside our favorite store, walking around and looking at clothes.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29jbgvLEGI
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZnBbCQCa7
“So, Damien is being weird,” I said.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN79g9pGknU
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QTtFy3UQs
“Weird? Already?” she chuckled “Have you even had time to talk? I bet you were only having sex since last night,” she mocked.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM5oyfvb96
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKkNlsv0vm
“That can’t stop someone from talking!” I raised my eyebrows and smirked.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9pY3xu99k
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhGZdH0KuR
“Dear Lord,” she winced.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUQ20aKb0e
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIxahCRMvZ
“What if he just feels insecure that I’m over here without him when he’s away in Italy?” I asked out of the blue. “What if he changes his mind when he gets back?”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj9cOpJOHh
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSRegiFNA3
“I’m confused,” she let down a top she was holding and turned towards me.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41XNh8CMCW
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOS5W44dLR
“He asked me to marry him,” I explained. I couldn’t fight back the smile.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6KGCvU4q
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFtVzIXup8
“What?” she asked so loudly and thrilled that some girls turned to look at us. I looked around me sideways and then back at her; a wide smile on her face. “Why aren’t you thrilled?” she narrowed her eyes.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjizRHegqD
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzIXb9KC4b
“I told you. What if he asked me to marry him because he’s just feeling insecure? He was always clear about his feelings towards me and I was always afraid to tell him.”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0HDTEt0Kk
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzeDOTYtp8
“I thought, after Italy, everything was great. I thought everything was out in the open,” she asked.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv0Oiet89z
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqDRCaYVmT
“And you’re right. But what if he still feels like I’m holding back?” I asked; my fingers fidgeting.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWGlYQBPeX
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ0i3Yj55v
“Baby,” she begun “What you’re doing now, this is how you’re holding back,” she said “Look at me,” she told me and I turned my eyes to hers “The love of your life asked you to marry him and you’re overanalyzing it! Just be happy!!” she smiled.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUJWL1BBom
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC07K617wOx
I stared at her for a few seconds. She was right. I looked at my hands for a second before a smile appeared on my lips.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldUT1RI8wv
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqvf3drbds
“You’re right,” I smiled. “Damien asked me to marry him,” I said in order to digest it. She nodded and hugged me. “And he did it while we were having sex, by the way,” I chuckled.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVU8445fYc
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQW69Sr1F3
“Come on! You ruined it for me! Ew!” she winced and pulled away from me. I laughed and told her how everything happened.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG4NYPilFk
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUCwp51QdV
“So, we have to keep it a secret?” she frowned as we got into the car. “What is it with you and secrets?”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQyEBry6ii
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyv6RfWPVK
“I’m scared that he’ll change his mind when he gets back,” I mumbled.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgHVJxfBh6
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ihT7Q8nj
“Why will he do that?” she questioned rhetorically “I doubt that he would have asked you in the first place if he wasn’t sure about his feelings,” Cleo said.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNNSHOFQVb
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR545hKuVP
“We haven’t been together that long. What if he doesn’t like me? My everyday me, I mean,” I replied truthfully. I had to get this out of my chest.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZZQSaRVmr
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoLoDpBLuv
“Honey, do you listen to the words that come out of your mouth?” She frowned and shook her head. She didn’t even ignite the engine. “Damien loves you!” she said and sighed. “Talk to him,” she suggested.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ280QfcqXHT
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsW2mJEeoB
“What? No!” I shook my head. “I don’t want him to know that I’m scared again!”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtbadOrD0p
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3cTWdc2yR
“You can’t hide your feelings for him if you’re gonna start a family someday. It’s not right,” She pointed out.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp4pMNSHIn
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbzKQKkFEd
“You’re right,” I sighed. “I’ll try and talk to him,” I agreed.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52QZQk9vYb

Damien was in the country for ten days. And of course, they weren’t enough. I didn’t see him again after the morning he proposed because he had plans with his friends. I also went out with the twins in order to stop myself from over thinking; something that never leads to good things.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz4JZrrmIH
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhiY5FGE3u
I returned home and went straight to bed; hugging the pillow he was sleeping yesterday. Sometime during the night my phone rang. Damien wanted me to let him in.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN52won2g9w
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNANoYymknZ
“You should get your own key,” I told him half asleep as he closed the door behind him.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZCIUJnlpL
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTQ0BCRUia
“I’m not even your official boyfriend,” he mocked referring to the fact that only our closest friends knew about our relationship.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwjc5sqQI3
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33NLfHnqzP
“Fine, then. Next time you can sleep in your bed. Alone.” I arched my eyebrows.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM8lxtRNME
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0wBicACM5
“I can start now,” he smirked and took a step towards the door.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeRooABtgO
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56pW6fYc7u
“No!” I cried softly and lunched to his arms. His hands were around my body in a second and I heard him chuckle. He smelled like whiskey and cigarettes. I have forgotten that smell that I learnt to love because of him. Damien gripped my butt and led me towards the bed.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UNr2X02dd
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx9Q245xJ5
“Do you want to go back to sleep?” he asked me softly as he was kissing my jaw line.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwtrNtQlBl
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQMBScwb3L
“I want you,” I replied. I could sleep next week that he won’t be around.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm2VSVChkn
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vg0zSoIrH
He gripped my thigh tightly as I closed my legs around his torso and pushed myself against his body. He nibbled the skin on my neck. I mingled my fingers through his long hair and kept my eyes open to take it all in.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI4H9WbY6u
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsboJDbw6S0
He pulled back after a while just to remove his jeans and t-shirt. He returned on the bed and pulled my underwear down before returning on top of me.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0TzRZ48hD
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAojyHiqZy5
He entered me slowly; that sweet pain of fulfilling between my legs. He stared at me with those marvelous grey eyes of his and kissed me lips softly as he remained inside of me.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzokQ8uEgdX
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNFFrT5XfP
“I love you,” he whispered and made my heart fly.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oiWeY4njL
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMPHJwO6hO
“I love you too,” I breathed.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXkrTg3vIa
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6peeR9YTu
I fell asleep intoxicated by his musk scent and his warmth; Things that I could never get used to having.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxjgOiBZne

“So where are we going?” I asked Damien as I was seated in his black M6 for a trip to the unknown. He only told me we were going for a casual drink so I was wearing a maxi floral sun-dress witha low cut v-neck and my wedges. Nothing fancy and out of the ordinal.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEGy56qwXW
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn55K3MGaUy
He, on the other hand, was wearing a shirt. That was surely out of the ordinal. Damien was wearing shirts only if he was going out; never for coffee or a casual drink in the afternoon. Of course he was wearing his jeans, but that shirt made me wonder what he had in mind.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2NEOtNjmG
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcWfovCa2z
“Somewhere we haven’t been for a while,” he said still not answering my question. I frowned.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl98oLNbFa
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dr8pgJmpR
“Enlightening! We haven’t been anywhere for a while,” I narrowed my eyes. He laughed bitterly because the reason was that he was in Italy. He put his hand on my thigh and squished it.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iSA4ymLDl
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILs38XI40V
“I’m sorry I’ve been away,” he sighed. I placed my hand on top of his quickly and held it as he drove.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W8PdYjDVY
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikkKA7g66n
“Don’t you dare apologize again for that!” I told him “It’s for your future!”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEHTtFYXJx
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnGcGbefIZ
“You’re my future,” he said quietly. My heart flew. I smiled and I put my hand on the back of his newly shortened hair; my thumb caressing his unshaved cheek. I adored him no matter how he looked, but Damien with short hair was giving me shivers and butterflies.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIuGu3pCNJ
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrXqQx0Sbh
“You know what I mean,” I said trying to recover my thoughts and he nodded giving me a smile. “So, tell me where we going!” I demanded.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAApXdYmzqQ
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nzmSUHzHQ
“Nope,” he grinned. I pouted defeated. I only knew one thing we were going somewhere far away.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcMxX7mNa2
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1M5ZMn1IQ
We were talking about random stuff for a while until I began noticing the familiar surroundings. We were driving to the Summer house. It’s where he first kissed me and where we made love for the first time.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYKgkn3eXA
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPozl5woxQ
I turned to look at him. Butterflies attacked my stomach just like that very first time. I smiled. He turned his eyes towards me for a moment and smiled too.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqaSrd10jY
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGBzFQYunB
“The gates are open,” I frowned. He didn’t speak. Weird. He drove up the driveway and stopped the car.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUevdiJ5WTu
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv02GbekxAa
“Wait here for a moment, please?” He told me, looking at me in the eye. His hand pulling a handle and the trunk clicked. “And try not to look,” he smiled.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI5vR0lbnM
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WERPlIBYh
“Okay,” I agreed. I was dying to find out what was going on. It wasn’t our anniversary or anything. Could it be -? Was it possible that he was going to propose for real? No. I doubt it was that.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpJ7yxkYYt
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpBvxcx5BM
He closed the gates behind the car and I realized that I didn’t have any clothes with me. “But who cares, it’s not like I’ll be wearing any of them around him.” I saw him taking out something from the back of the car quickly but I tried not to see what it actually was. Not that I could make out in the dim light that was coming from the house.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDbWO7bbFH
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVT8dAdHFj
A few minutes later he walked out of the house and walked to my side of the car, opened the door for me and helped me get out. The light breeze made my dress fly as he closed the door behind me and took my hand in his.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDosjyEaslR
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFW8PMSoTt
We walked into the house and straight towards the back glass doors. He stopped in front of the closed curtains and told me to keep my eyes closed.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TuiGa41MD
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ6Gfckk7i
“Okay,” I nodded. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks and my heart racing with anticipation.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCkmEdDoFN
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTx3AEVB1y
He placed his hand on my lower back and carefully led me outside. I felt his palms against my cheeks and his lips pressing against mine softly.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg2GYd5YIe
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxRWQnnBeS
“You can open your eyes now,” he said softly.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW8qf2oI0w
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVukGEi37ke
The small lights from around the yard was on and the swimming pool lights too. Also, there was a small table on the other side of the pool, between the pool and the roofed sun bed.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU4Dsd7EaY
Plates and candles was on the table and next to it a trolley with what I guessed to be dinner and red and white tulips; my favorite. I was speechless.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPkNQoCfYK
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy2TfLTW8B
“So beautiful,” I mumbled. I didn’t even care what the reason was. If he went into all this trouble, I only had to enjoy myself.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRS9lK4WFq
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8NKOW9FbM
“I’m glad you like it,” he smiled and led me towards the table. “Would you like some wine?” he asked me.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtBoK99ZWW
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp1F0b0VpF
“Yes, please,” I smiled. And I haven’t even spoken to him about my concerns. He poured wine into two glasses and gave me one. I walked towards the edge of the pool and stared at the water smiling.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlCFmYqjCZ
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCFbBOMYXB
“You look so beautiful,” he said quietly from a few feet behind me. I turned around; my dress still moving away from my legs in the rhythm of the breeze. I noticed him putting his mobile back on the table and smiled. He must have taken a picture. Then I noticed him fidgeting as he left his glass on the table too.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd4EQ5jCFp
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx1HeoNEXQ
“Why are you so nervous?” I frowned. Damien chuckled as he walked up to me.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwk8PULgdN
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQtGAiC4ue
“I love you,” he smiled and looked at me with his marvelous grey eyes.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3rI6HkUQv
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QB8YLnEd6
“I love you too baby,” I smiled and kissed him softly on the lips.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo9Bp47uBg
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNAuoMILEq
“I know you’re having second thoughts about asking you to marry me,” he begun and for a moment I turned my eyes elsewhere. But then he kept talking. “I’ve thought about it a lot when I was away and I actually can’t think about a future without you in it. And everything I want to do is to create a better future for you. I know we are not together that long and you’re scared about that,” he said and I bid my bottom lip but I couldn’t keep my eyes away from him. At first it sounded like he was about to propose, again, but he confused me. “But we do know each other your whole life,” I chuckled as he emphasized our age difference. He took the glass from my hands and placed it on the table behind us.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ36vxN1tM
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZANIYA2uE5
“I know that by asking you to marry me, you won’t stop being afraid,” he said and a sigh escaped my lips. “But I’m hoping to make you remember that I won’t leave you or hurt you in any way. I know that I promised that once again and I broke that promise -”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCnoHQeDGX
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk8vU4PKO3
“Actually, you only promised not to cheat on me,” I mumbled and smiled softly.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSGWLrEjkh
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxrexmNFfm
“I actually promised to myself not to do anything to hurt you like Alex did. So, I did broke my promise,” he said and those days came back to my mind. My heart fell. He cupped my face and made me look into his grey eyes.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9phIezWf1
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAddxqSTWaB
“I promise not to ever hurt you like that ever again. For as long as I live and breathe,” he vowed “I want you to know that I’m committed to you and us. And I will do anything in my power to keep you happy. And so I wanted to do this properly,” he said and before I asked what he was talking about he got down on one knee and took a little box out of his pocket. I parted my lips in order to breathe properly when he asked the question.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaWXdvziQZ
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFemiD0Zta
“Will you marry me?” he asked. My lips curled up to a smile. The ring was not silver like all engagement rings. It was a material I couldn’t place and on the top, a grey rock surrounded by little white rocks. I smiled as it instantly reminded me my favorite set of eyes.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGum0J98ph
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrBYOceHUp
“Yes,” I smiled and he took the ring out of the box and placed it on my finger. He stood up and cupped my face and kissed me. “I want you everytime you look on your ring to remember my promise. Okay?”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU1AdpvxWI
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIZjwjyF7C
“Okay,” I mumbled as I got lost into his arms.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs85Sxxres2
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC4sF0kYwE
If there’s a Heaven, I’m pretty sure I was seeing it and feeling it right that moment. So this is how it felt having all your dreams coming true.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWMXIe2TIX
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHt7BUrELm
“So, I guess with a rock on my finger it will be very hard not to tell our families…” I trailed; a small grin on my lips as I sliced my chicken. Damien chuckled.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdr8uiEGmN
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ee6z3pmD4
“A bit too late for that,” he grinned and ate his last bite.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuNvoKrXRl
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCJlksAVRT
“What do you mean?” I frowned and left my fork down.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa2a7tjCFQ
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUk8PelDuG
“I’ve already told you; I wanted to do this properly!” he said and got a sip of wine. I was waiting patiently. “I’ve talked to my parents and then visited your parents early this afternoon,” he smiled, eyeing me carefully and waiting for a response.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhLo3uKi4b
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WJst7f96e
“Okay,” I breathed out slowly. Where was I during all of this? Oh right, I was with Max. I’m sure he was in on it.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aONkDCbc3
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvmYftZ6j0
“I told them that we’ve been seeing each other for almost a year,” he begun.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi20epAveVS
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCFFX9dDF
“That’s a lie,” I smirked. Damien laughed.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2quxoBRG6
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctiITS0Qx1
“It’s been a year since we first kissed,” he arched an eyebrow. “We’ve been in love for much more, but I kept the details for ourselves.”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkuPQcosCH
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhiMRHk7DP
“Good thinking,” I chuckled. There wasn’t a need for our parents to know everything. “So?”509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAXqS3lQMB
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRwHQdGg88
“Well, to be honest, our moms did seem to relax at the fact that we are planning on waiting until you get your degree,” he said.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw008lCHVn
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYMOIZy63l
It was such a beautiful night. I couldn’t care less if I was barely 19 and was engaged to a man that I was in a relationship for under a year. Because Damien wasn’t just a man. He was everything I adored and longed for since I could remember myself.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffJDKLGYlN
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY457gG8k2
“Why were you so nervous, anyway?” I asked curious as I sipped my wine. He took a sip from his as well and chuckled; blushing. “Oh my God, I made you blush!” I exclaimed happily and he laughed as I got up from my seat and landed on his lap; hugging him.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF73WLPyjGI
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmyC5adWCP
“You are the love of my life. I wanted this to be perfect,” he explained softly.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG9vAWSEFc
509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPUwyfMtIF
“It is perfect, baby,” I smiled and kissed his lips.509Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA5IIKjeu5
