The Wrong Bride

28

It's been two weeks since the whole drama at the church. Thankfully Amy calmed down and they were able to talk to her, she understood everything because she wants her marriage back, but then Carl told her it was never taken away.

Sara's court case comes up soon, and I can't wait to get everything over and done with.

As for my relationship with Sebastian, it has been perfect haven for the past two weeks. I've been living over at his place since the whole charade, because he didn't want to let go of me, and I'm happy I stayed.

"Hey, you're up" Sebastian says, entering our bedroom, just coming back from his morning run.

'Our home', 'Our bedroom', the thought just makes me giddy all over.

We haven't spoken about our future, but it is clear we are going to create one. He is my forever, there is no denying that, and he doesn't lose any opportunity to tell me that I am his.

He comes to the bed, before taking me in his arms, and slamming his lips on mine.

"I just can't get enough of you" he breathes on my lips.

"You are all sweaty" I giggle, and the corner of his lips turn upwards.

He stares at me, a look so long and intense, making me shiver and tingle in all the right places

"What?" I ask, forcing myself to hide my blush

"I just can't get enough of you. I can't stop touching you, wanting to be close to you every second. I am addicted to you, your smell, your laugh, your beauty, your kind heart, your lips, your touch, every single thing about you. I don't know how I survived three solid years without you, but then maybe I was just living, but with you here, right now, in my reach, I feel alive. I can kiss you wherever, touch you whenever, tell you how many times in the day I love you, and how crazy I am about you. I don't care what has happened between us, what just happened, it's all settled and it is our past now. What I care about is you, our future, and your happiness. I guess I was going to do this a different way, but my heart is overflowing with so much love for you and so many emotions right now, and maybe I'm all sweaty, but I don't know any moment to be more perfect, you sitting right infront of me like this, bare, with nothing on, just all of you, I don't think there is any other moment that will be more perfect to ask you to marry me" he says, and I can't hold back all the tears. He brings out a royal blue ring box, and places it on my left thigh "So Emerald, will you marry me, and make me the happiest and luckiest man alive to call you mine?"

"Yes. Thousand times yes, I'll marry you. Over and over, I'll choose you" I say, kissing him through my tears.

He pulls away, and slips the ring on my finger. It's a beauty, and it fits perfectly, made just for me. It has little diamond studs around it, and a huge heart-shaped one at the center, and on the lower part of the band, has his name inscribed on it.

"It's beautiful"

"Just like you," he says, cradling my face in his hands "Take a shower with me"

Sebastian's POV

"You remember the night where you found out I was getting married to Sara? The night we spent together?" I ask her, tracing my fingers on her bare shoulder as we lay in bed

"I am never going to forget. But I couldn't help but pretend that it never happened because I was crashed" she says, resting her head on my chest

"So you didn't regret it that morning after as you had said?"

"No. I lied." She chuckles "How would I ever forget what transpired between us that night? I would never forget how you treated my body after three years, worshipping it like you had been doing it your whole life"

"And now I'm going to be doing it for my whole life," I say, before connecting her lips with mine. I kiss her, like it's the last time when I'm just starting. I am so eager to start a life with her, the woman I love.

"I'm sorry, for everything," I say, pulling away "For not trusting you, for not believing in us, in our relationship. I know you are giving me another chance, and I promise I'm not going to blow it"

She's giving me another chance. Another chance to love her and call her mine. And among many other reasons, that is why I love her. She's kind, generous, and is always giving me grace. Grace that I don't deserve. And yes, maybe I don't deserve her, but that doesn't mean I will ever let anyone have her, yes, I'm a selfish man, but I know what I have, and I'm not going to lose it, or let it out of my sight, for even a second.

"I know. I'm deciding to trust you again, with no affirmation what is going to happen, but I am trusting you, not to hurt me again" she says, looking at me straight in the eye.

"I will never. I was foolish, but I'll be damned if I'm foolish twice" I say, pecking her on the lips

"I love you"

"I love you more Emerald, so so so much more" I reply, and the grin on her face makes my heart dance in my chest

"But wait, if we are going to get married, what's going to happen to my coffee shop?" She asks and I simply smirk before responding

"Well about that..." I trail off

"Uhuh..."

"It's a surprise" I wink, before climbing on top of her
