We met again in fall (book 2 of Just a professor)

THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. (BONUS CHAPTER)

Aubrey POV

„Mom? Can you tell me the story about you proposing to mummy?" Leyla asked me as she stopped painting on her canvas.

„I've told you that so many times. Aren't you bored about me telling the story?" I asked and she shook her head.

„No I love it. Please." she gave me the puppy eyes and they where just like Lizzie's so I obviously can't resist them at all.

„Fine. It was after we finished my gallery. I brought a ring right after I opened it for the first time. It was already settled in my mind that I wanted to marry her. For a long long time actually."
I glanced down at my ring and smiled wide remember as if it was yesterday.

„So i brought the ring. We actually visited her parents a lot and it was really nice. I like being around them and they accepted me in a heartbeat.
So one day when Lizzie was at work I drove down to her parents house. I was absolutely terrified."

„Why where you terrified?" she asked me while tilting her head confused.

„I didn't know if they would say yes if I would ask for Lizzie's hand. I was so scared that my hands got all sweaty and my Puls was rising.
But we got to talk and I started to ramble like crazy about how much I love Lizzie and what we've been through so that they already said yes before I could even ask. I was so confused and they said
‚You'd be a great wife and we love to welcome you into our family as well.' I was crying really really bad from all the happiness and joy. I realized that nothing stands in our way anymore and we can be together and live our happily ever after."

Leyla smiled wide at me and I can see the resemblance from Lizzie marveled into her face.

„Like in those fairy tail story's you tell me?
Are you living your happily ever after?" she asked me and I nod letting a tear fall.

„I am. Yes. I got to this point in life and now I'm happily ever after. And it was one hell of a ride."

„So i got the blessing form your grandparents and I made my way to auntie Amelia."

„Is she really a blood relative?" she asked confused and I shook my head.

„No but she's family. She has been there for me all the time and she helped a lot by giving me the best advice. So she's auntie Amelia now."

She nod and I moved on.

„so I told her that I wanted to propose to Lizzie. She was out of her mind. She was so happy that she got to see this and I was so happy to tell her. We cried and hugged and sat down planing everything."

„So I was planing to propose in the café. This is actually a lame place to do so but this place was special for the both of us. We had our first date there. We met there again after years of a break up and we went there a lot enjoying each other's company."

„Uh now comes the best part yes!!" she cheered and I laughed giving her a kiss on the head.

„Now I prepared everything and I had an idea. Amelia baked the best cookies and those where our favorite ones as well. So i told her to bake the ring into the cookie. She did as i asked and one day we went to drink our coffee there. But it was different and it will be a day that will burn into our minds forever. The café was closed. But not for us. Amelia placed some fairy lights around the grape ceiling and guitar music played in the background.
I was obviously anxious as fuck-."

„Fuck!" she yelled out and I realized what I just said. Shit she never cursed before.

„Fuck fuck fuck!!" she yelled out louder and I placed my hand in front of her mouth.
