Ramon
"This beach is so beautiful Ramon!" exclaims Celestia as we walk up to the house on the sand.
If only she knew that the real beauty here was her. Only her.
As she looks around, I gesture for Wyatt to come to the door. He looks at me confused but walks to me anyway. I hand him over the key and tilt my head towards the door.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCOVHGwGdf
"Open it. There's something for you inside."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d7RYfd4Zc
"Sir, you've given me everything and more, there's no need."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmZHvBazZZ
"It's not an item, well the first part isn't. Just go inside." I smile.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv8vG22lxK
He takes a breath and unlocks the door.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wfZrNgLGb
"Surprise!"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHStlys8VU
"Hi, daddy!" screams Luna as she runs to her father's feet.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc12xkBz2Nq
Wyatt looks at me shocked.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsdu0Iawlw
"How did you-"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0fayn0zXF
"You thought this wonderful man would forget about your birthday?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQAcqrWV7s
"Aurora, my love is that you?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksJZvPGFJc
"Yeah, baby, I'm here too," she says as she emerges from the kitchen with Evelyn in hand.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch7G6mRYlV
He rushes over to her and kisses her tenderly. Aurora looks at me as Wyatt takes the baby out of her hands and she mouths a thank you. I nod at her and before I turn to find Celestia, her arms wrap around me.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr9o0Qa6Vx
"That was very sweet of you," she whispers behind me.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0saYGtC7Gm
"His wife told me that he hadn't celebrated his birthday in years and she wanted to do something special for him this year, so I brought them here."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvvoGG4A7F
"He'll remember this birthday forever." she smiles as she waves at Aurora who is now coming towards us.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U50qlpc8G
"Thank you, Ramon, he's so happy. I can never thank you enough."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5STfh4fS4
"It's no problem Aurora, where's Mateo by the way?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEujDBScD0
"Oh!" shouts Celestia.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKCkCGhyLp
We all turn to see Mateo holding a small crab in his hands. He was smiling, showing his missing tooth.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6rHi5iEEA
"There you are, Matty. Look at you, you're all dirty with sand."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKvTjdptud
Aurora moves around us and picks up Mateo.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUEHkVrvOZ
"Hi, Mr.Osy!320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNIlQxH6mX
"Hi, buddy." I smile as I give him a high five.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup7bY3vNXz
"So this is the amazing Mateo, I've heard about." smiles Celestia as she waves at him.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIYqEQa7Li
"I am amazing, I am!" he squeals and laughs. He holds his hands out to her and Aurora hands him over.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6ChWwn0Vm
"What's your name?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptmUVL7ygB
"I'm Celestia,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE5wGvI1fl
"Are you princess Celestia from My Little Pony?" he says as his eyes go wide.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPSWLgTNWE
"No, she's way better than me. I don't have any wings, see?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszxGl7TEI4
As we all go inside and Aurora taps my arm.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDeKx2CCFI
"Is she it?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W0dC4gKgg
"What do you mean?" I question her as I watch Celestia play with Mateo.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ggl1M6orI
"Is she the one, I mean. Let's not forget you had a reputation with women, everyone saw you both on the front page. And I haven't seen you with anyone new. She's your secretary right?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYJq54D78P
"Yeah, she is."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DEhQ0jBaX
"And does she live with you now?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OikRaZvzi
"Yes,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70gJfm1jWJ
"And she knows about your sexual lifestyle,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMpRJyJfpx
"I-"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEetSqrCSaL
"I'm not dumb Ramon, I have eyes. I can see the faint cuff marks on her wrists."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPMCIq7oEY
"Yeah, she's into it."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z9WecAmEY
"Then what are you waiting for? When you asked me to set up the back of the house for you, I knew that you were head over heels."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5m8KvKeXJ
"What do you mean by that?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIldJDZdcwU
"You're clearly in love with the girl."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfZMMhAykH
I take a deep breath and look at her.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtV4lEhy3k
"I am. But I don't know how to bring it up to her."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF8SxSoVB4
"Just tell her. There's never a perfect time Ramon. But all I'm going to say is that when you say it, make sure you mean it."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oLu8nePS0
"I will," I reply just as Celestia comes up to us.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9VeIxFbut
"You ready to leave princess?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2IibwOqiE
"You're a princess?!" brightens Luna as she comes in with Wyatt. "Mom I wanna be a princess too!"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDmjvCNMb3
"You are a princess sweetie, you're my princess."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57ak7BNhY9
"Where are we going?" asks Celestia.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd69Mp54XoF
"Next door."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aQKwTLmNQ
"Next door?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lED11vxrS
"Yep," I say as I take her hand.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl06ZL4o8S2
"Bye-bye CC!" shouts Mateo.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDd8vvWlSr
"Bye, sweetie!"
"You must be hungry," I say once we get outside.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1JbQth36K
"A little yeah."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcghFGjxJv
"Sorry, I just wanted to give Wyatt his gift first.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8MRumV1DA
"It's all good. I enjoyed my time with the kids."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCmpMj9ioi
I take her into the other beach house next door and bring her out to the back. Aurora had placed lanterns everywhere and the small table was adorned with flowers.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLvK6Hj47
"Wow, this is so pretty."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHRSXwfcps
I pull out her chair and she sits down.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR2ydHNXkn
"Thank you."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL5lhfXSK4
"You're welcome," I reply. "Don't move I'll be right back,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiTSrzQUR9
She nods and I go back inside to find aurora bringing in the food just in time.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG0XGlJaIM
"Thank you again for this."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrjiGOXOJY
"Anytime Ramon, remember what I said earlier."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNPL9U2EoS
"I know, I'm thinking about it."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLl3qimi6c
"Good, I'll talk to you later," she says as she walks out.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs3oWU05Ja
I grab the food tray from the counter and go back outside with it.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4srbhSSVU
"Ooh, what are we having?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXmEwz0pfd
"Omelets, french toast, Belgian waffles, and sandwiches," I reply as I set the long tray on the table and sit down.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonkpu89dXW
"You're going to spoil me rotten Ramon,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi54MzoccT
"That's my plan." I chuckle, picking up a waffle with my fork as we continue to talk about anything and everything. Life and death, past and future.

"Thank you again for this Ramon, I loved everything."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWIZFU4nRX
"Oh, we aren't done yet," I say as I smile and loop my arms around her. "We're going dancing."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhKcuwHuNW
"Dancing?" she laughs. "Since when do you dance?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKog6hRrpg
"Since I've started dating you, princess."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj6BpT6URw
"Well then, I guess we're going dancing." she smiles.
We walk hand in hand in silence on the edge of the beach to the lights that were now bright and reflecting on the ocean waves. We spot Wyatt and Aurora swinging gently side to side, and the kids were playing in the sand.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatjb8fxFA9
"Their family is so lovely," whispers Celestia.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2XLF0tRSj
"I know,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIUgKkFUCD
"Celestia! How was your lunch?" says Aurora as she looks at us.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1BUhsuXLF
"It was wonderful, I just loved your decorations!"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb1dPiYAo0
"Why thank you," she smiles as she lays her head on her husband's chest.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUujTW1vXP
"Oh! May I hold her?" asks Celestia as she points to Evelyn sitting on the sand.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAwH41OjNA
"Sure, If she'll let you." Aurora laughs. "She's so clingy to me and doesn't like anyone."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjiLY0Sc8E
"She's so cute, I'm gonna try anyway."
Celestia walks over to the kids and sits down on the sand with them, fanning out her dress. Evelyn pats her tiny hands on the sand in front of her sister as they build a small lopsided sandcastle. I continue to watch as Celestia picks up a smooth seashell and holds out her hand to Evelyn. She looks at the seashell and moves into a standing position. Evelyn looks at the shell, then back at Celestia. To our surprise, she takes a few wobbly steps closer to her. When she's in reach, Celestia picks her up gently and places her in her lap, dangling the shell and smiling at Evelyn who was now laughing.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1BLzTL2mq
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB5vfhTL7w
"She must be good with kids," says Aurora as she and Wyatt come up to me.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8DimzYznC
"I think I just fell in love all over again," I whispered.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlWflW2M0P
"I know," she says. "You look absolutely whipped."
__________
"We're gonna head in you two, we have to get these kids to bed. Have a great rest of your night" Aurora says.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy09UcNw3v
"Alright, goodnight Aurora, night Wyatt!"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhnnmDxUbC
"Night."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fN0RSD7PC
Luna and Mateo run to Celestia once more and hug her. She gives them a squeeze and runs her hands through their hair as she smiles at them.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq1I1RCKc3
"Night night, Princess CC," mutters Mateo.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPypolo6zdO
"Goodnight cuties," Celestia replies as she lets go of them.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCc6OihH6G
They run back to their parents and as she watches them leave I take her hand and spin her around to face me. She collides with my chest and I smile at her.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KpfL0KT3v
"It seems that I haven't been getting much attention, but now I have you all to myself."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNzU770rUr
"Sorry, I can't help it. Children are so precious," she replies.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcXG8VGJql
"It was fine, I loved watching you play with them. It suits you."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJQWIUrzPL
"Whatever do you mean by that?" she questions as I spin her around again as we dance on the sand.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwYGWzvKaI
"I mean that you're just good with children, you'd be a great mother too."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LwNQEYApB
She softly smiles. "Thank you, I don't know though, I do love playing with them, and I have imagined having my own someday but-"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVajBZpU0NR
"But?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKwqdauouB
"I don't think I could handle carrying one for nine months. I can't even handle my period cramps."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82rks7NbCG
"I think you'll be fine. You're a strong woman, and very determined with a drive like none other."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJdp6nInBO
"You're too sweet Ramon," she blushes as she ducks her head to the side.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32OTqfHeWB
"I have something for you."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKkKWIjk2G
"Another gift? Babe quit spoiling me, you're not gonna like the outcome of it." she laughs.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SZc6ll51g
"This gift is a special gift."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u1a2DuALn
"What is it?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWlgBvaPtr
"Now, it wouldn't be a gift if I told you, would it?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmqd1YfTD2
"I suppose not,"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLRrbeABQD
I take her hand and we walk to the porch of the beach house. I take the box from the table next to the door and sit next to her on the stairs.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbxepx6Y53
"Before I give this to you, I just wanted you to know that over the past few weeks I've grown to like you even more than I did before. If you say no to the question I'm going to ask you once you open this, I will be fine." I say as I hand her the box.
Lies. All lies. There is no way in hell I'd be fine if she said no. I'd be so damn heartbroken. I don't even know what I'd do. My heart beats faster as she slowly opens the box. Her mouth becomes slightly ajar as she looks at the item in front of her. She looks up at me and I sigh.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEYLRxRyob
"It's a collar. Not just any collar. Celestia, I want to claim you as mine. You don't know how much I adore you. I can't stand the thought of anyone taking you away from me. You're precious to me. When that dreadful fucker of a man took you away from me, I was ready to go to hell and back to make sure you were back in my arms again. I-." I take a deep breath and close my eyes. "I love you, Celestia, I'm in love with you. I love the way you tease me, I love the way you look at me every day, I love our late-night conversations, I love every. Single. Thing. About you."
I swallow the lump in my throat and open my eyes. Celestia looked at me fondly with tears in the corner of her eyes.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1eFKbP73M
"It's fine if you don't love me back I don't know what I was thinking-"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j3QdcDQC3
"But I do." she smiles as she pulls me close and kisses me. "I do love you, Ramon."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRp9Ag0CG9
"Really?"320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLwBgQctcf
"Yes really, I didn't want to admit it to myself, but you make me whole. You're the reason why I want to wake up every day smiling. I love you."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0p3iKHCcR
"God, you don't know how long I've been wanting to hear that from you."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkvhYGGhmH
"This isn't a promise ring," I say as I take the collar out of the box and put it around her neck. "But think of it as one, because I promise you that I will never let anyone break us apart. Ever."320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHcsiCkNIS
I pull her closer and kiss her passionately.
As we kiss underneath the stars and the bright lights of the lanterns, I can't help but smile. Celestia was mine and no one else's. Mine to hold, mine to comfort, mine to love, mine to fuck. All mine.
