A Home For My Heart

Chapter Sixteen

STEPHON

I'm so nervous, I was pre-planning this in my head ever since she ran out of that office party crying. And now that I got her under my roof, the thought of messing up makes its way in, and doubt starts forming.

I pushed the negatives aside, I've waited for the right time a while, and now that I have it, my mind decides to play tricks on me.

I've been drowning myself in work trying to avoid her at any given cost. Now, don't take me wrong. I want to be with her I'm just afraid of biting my tongue and saying something stupid.

If that happens, I could kiss my chances with her goodbye. I felt bad for what I'm doing to her, but I just got to get my mind settle first before I embarrass myself.

I continued with my work as usual and when that favorite time of the day rolls in, instead of going to the cafeteria I sat in my cabin and pulled my phone out to shoot her a text.

"Hey beautiful, I miss you. I'm sorry for how I've been acting but I'll make it up to you. Dinner with me tonight? Text me what you wanna eat and drink and I'll order. See you soon, love you, bye".

That was it, all I had to do was sit and wait. Seconds later my phone pinged with a text.

"I would love that; see you tonight don't be late. I've got a little surprise for you".

My grin grew wide like the freaking Grinch. Oh, it's on. My thoughts wondered about all the possible sexy surprises she could have in store. My dick at this point was painfully hard, usually I'd taken care of it myself but not this time.

This time she was here, and I'll empty every last bit of my cum inside her pussy. I don't care who see my raging boner, I was proud of it, all this is for her, and I'll be sure to let her know that.

As the night approach, I gathered all my things and head to the parking lot. Tonight, will be a special night for the both of us, when I hold her tight in my arms and let her know how much I love her and cared for her and want us to have a future.

Some might say I'm rushing it but when you know what you want you go for it. I never been so sure of anything. When I reached my car, I pulled my keys out to open the door when an envelope stuck to the left side of my windshield caught my eye.

It's probably someone leaving Christmas cheer I thought, I placed it in my bag and started the engine, soon enough I was on my way to the food hub then to see Grace.

When I entered the house, the atmosphere was warm, the short scented candles helped with the effects. A trail of rose petals made a pathway around the grand staircase and into the large living room I had with a fireplace.

There standing in a short red lace lingerie with legs I want around my waist and breast I'd like to have some fun with. She watches me and a sweet smile graces her gorgeous lips.

"Like what you see? She said teasingly.

Oh, very much darlin. I must say you outdone yourself love, but too bad you won't be wearing it long. I walk up to her and kiss her hard.

We had a wild evening, of heated passion, lust and inhumane moaning. All I had to do now was close the deal, but will she accept or reject me. Anyway, the following day I made some plans to have Grace meet me out in the Honeycomb Park down by the pond late afternoon.

This is a special place to me, it's where my dad proposed to my mom, the love they shared, the way they looked at each other, I wanted that and now I'll know if I'm gonna get it.

I had a picnic basket set out on a blanket with fruits and finger bite food. Apple and grape wine chilling on the side. Moments later I saw Grace walking towards me, its like she's grown beautiful overnight, she was glowing.

I greeted her with a hug and kiss on the cheek. We sat down and ate, having a relaxing conversation. Her laughter...... Is like music to my ears, the sweet melody of her voice warms my heart. I took a deep breath and count to three.

Here goes nothing.

I got up and placed my hands inside my pockets and look down at her. Grace, I said softly. You entered my life with the odds against you, you kept to yourself and worked with such manner. You didn't have the best position in the company and I'm sure cart service wasn't your preferred choice, but you did it with understanding knowing you were just as important as the others.

What I admire about you the most is your hard work, loyalty, trust and the main thing respect. Even though you didn't get much of it in return.

The day you walked through that door Grace, I know at that moment I wanted you in my life and my future. I never been so sure or positive about anything in my life, which leads me to my question.

There was a first time for everything even disappointments. I would understand if I got rejected if she wasn't ready.

Ok.... that's a big fat lie, I would be heart broken and crying my eyes out like a girl who got dumped by her first crush.

I got down on one knee and pulled out a pearl white ring box, opening it slowly to show a beautiful butterfly diamond ring inside. I saw her gasp and my heart flutter a little.

Grace be mine forever, will you marry me? She launched herself into my arms and started sobbing. "Yes", she whispered. I'm not a guy to be crying but my eyes got all teary at her response. I release her from my hold to put the ring on her finger and kiss her.

This was the happiest day of my life. After the park, we took a drive through the city not wanting to go home just yet. Tonight, was special I had no intentions of rushing it. I want to enjoy this with my chocolate beauty.

Just us, no drivers, no assistant, no nothing. When we ended the night, we head home and took a warm shower. I showered before Grace so I can fix us something light to eat.

I decided on putting together some sandwiches and apple juice, just then I saw my phone lights up with a message.

"Anonymous",

"How long do you think you can ignore me? You won't even answer my calls or return my messages. You can't run forever Henry".
