Affair with a Billionaire

Happy

The following day I lie next to Connor in his bed, he wraps his around me and kisses my cheek.

- Thank you for coming back.

- Thank you for coming with me.

- I don't why I considered going back there.

- It was comfortable. Easy. You knew what to expect with him, and what you'd be getting yourself into.

- Yeah, I guess, but it's not like I wanted that life.

- No, but sometimes a familiar life, no matter how unsatisfying, is better than the unknown.

- Such a wise soul.

I playfully nudge him in his ribs, and he squeezes me.

- I just want you to be happy, Bailey. That's the most important thing to me.

I grab his hands and look deeply into his eyes.

- There's something I need to tell you.

- What is it?

- I'm happy to be with you. I have everything I want in you.

- I feel the same way too.

- But yeah, I think I have pretty much everything I want, but I can't help but feel something is missing.

I raise my hand and stare at my ring finger. Connor notices my gaze on my naked finger.

- You miss it?

- Miss what?

- Your ring. Do you miss your ring?

I cock my brow and turn toward him.

- I don't know. I feel like something's missing, but I also know that this is the right choice.

- Well, if you ever feel like you miss having a ring around that finger...

- If I what? Are you saying what I think you're saying?

Connor smiles, and I swear I notice his cheeks flush a bit.

- Is this your way of saying "yes"?

- Yeah, I guess I could put up with you for a little longer.

- Do You mean forever?

- Yeah, forever. Suppose we should start the planning.

- No need. I'll take care of everything.
