Epilogue

One year later......

Amberlee hums softly to the music while she paints, her head tilting from side to side a little and her body swaying a little slowly to the music playing on the radio, her fully concentrated on the painting that she is about to have done, her and Amir both being in the office.

"Okay should I do the silver necklace or bracelet?" Amir questions. "I mean she likes both but which one?"

"Then why don't you just get her both?" Amberlee shrugs.

"But.....no what if she doesn't like neither?!" Amir panics.

Amberlee sighs out. "You're Amir Harrington Stephanie like anything you give to her. Well...except your annoyance, which no one likes when you give to them. Just saying."

"You know Ambie you are absolutely no help." Amir says before he turns his chair around. "It is me and Steph's first year wedding anniversary. I have to make it perfect."

"Ughhh!" Amberlee drags out while throwing her head back, going to turn herself to face him. "You are such a hopeless romantic! Suck it up give her the presents and boom she'll like it! Then she will be basking in the scent of silver. Problem solved."

"But I have to make sure that it is perfect." Amir mentions. "You panicked the same way when you and Ryder's anniversary came up."

"Yeah but I was more of a man then you were." Amberlee replies, Amir just rolling his eyes in response. "And you are just worrying to much, things will be fine."

"Well how did it go for you and Ryder?" Amir questions.

Amberlee leans back in her chair while crossing her legs, her arms being leaned on the armrests. "Well...."

"Ugh yeah just like that..." Ryder groans while Amberlee rides him hard. "Damn darlin."

"You feel so good, you feel so fuckin good."

"Don't you stop, keep ridin my cock."

"Just like you like it."

Amberlee purses her lips a little. "Yeah it went well."

Amir scrunches up his face a little. "I don't think I want to know."

"No you do not." Amberlee states matter of factly.

"Gross."

"Bottom line is that Stephanie loves you and she deals with you and she chose to marry you for a reason. Still trying to figure out what that reason is." Amberlee shrugs with a smile, Amir just looking at her. "Kidding. Kind of."

"Whatever." Amir says. "You're right I'll just give her both. Then we'll eat dinner and talk and....."

"Don't say that last part." Amberlee scrunches up her face.

"I wasn't." Amir throws his hands up.

Amberlee smiles while she leans back more. "Can you believe it? Us already married at twenty and twenty one?"

"Never thought it would happen honestly." Amir replies with a smile. "But here we are."

Amberlee smiles. "Took a lot for us to get here Amir, it really did. But we are here and I'm damn happy, I'm so happy."

"Me too." Amir smiles.

"Now enough with the sentimental bull crap I have to finish this painting." Amberlee says before she turns around, going to continue to paint.

Amir just throws his hands up in surrender. "You started it."

"Yeah well you know I can't do it for long okay!" Amberlee defends. "Now shush I'm almost done with this painting."
