Alyssa's POV

Should I be mad?

Should I hate him?

Should I be grateful?

Should I be scared?

Should I stay with him?

Should I still love him?

Should I leave?

Should I...run?

Cry?

Rage?

I can't believe it. Aaron. The guy who slept in my bed to comfort me after Enzo left was the same man who stalked me since I was a teen. Everyone is always connected. The saying is true, isn't it? Now I know it.

I hold my bump. Am I carrying the wrong man's child? No, I love him he was just trying to help. Right? He wanted me to be safe. He wanted us to be safe. Both me and the future little Ruby. That's what WE named her. He loves me. I just need to believe him. He has no one else.

I look up at him. His eyes are stuck frozen on the sea. They're full of guilt. He let's me put distance between us as his hands go into the pockets of his shorts. He isn't cold, but he has goosebumps. It isn't windy, but his nose is runny. Was he...about to cry? There is no way that the Enzo I met was going to cry. He sniffles and turns away as he wipes his eyes. Great, now I feel guilty.
"Enzo?" I touch his shoulder. He tenses and looks away.
"Oh yeah. I'm fine. Just allergies." His voice cracks. How do I tell him that I love him no matter what?
"Thank you for keeping us safe." I hug him from behind, wrapping my arms around his waist as we stand on the beach. His hand caresses my bump and then interwines my hand.

I feel a tear drop onto my arm before he takes a deep breath in and pulls himself together. He then looks back at me with a stoic face, and I feel like I've just imagined him crying. But I didn't. His nose is red slightly, and the tear drop on my arm is indeed over there. He smiles and kisses me. His tongue explored me like it was an unfamiliar place. But he knows he's been there before. My hands explore his chest even though they've been there before.

"Sorry to interrupt, but this is my wedding. You two look too good. Hide before you outside me." Lizzy was now standing behind us. How long has she been there? Does she know about the night? I look at Enzo, and he gaves me a warning look. Telling me exactly what I needed to know. Lizzy doesn't know. And I won't ruin their wedding today, but she will find out.

As the wedding ceremony starts, Lizzy walks out in her short white dress and flowers in her long hair. She seems so happy. And then I look at Alex. He's crying?!?! What?!?!? Why is everyone crying today. Not me. Definitely not me. I wipe my tears, and I feel Enzos hand in mine. Alex was sobbing. Lizzy was laughing at him. And Enzo and I were us. Us. Soon, the word "us" will mean something else for us. It will mean family.
"I don't deserve you." He whispers in my ear.
"I know." We both chuckle at my attempt at a joke.
"No, but seriously. I. Don't. Deserve. You." He kisses my shoulder, and I lean on his.
"There's nothing you can say or do now that'll make me love you any less." I can feel him smiling at that.

4 months later, I gave birth. Right on time. In December. On December 14th, Ruby Rose Ferrante was born. She had dark brown hair and cute little chubby cheeks. Big brown eyes and a smiley personality. Personally, my favourite scene was when Enzo first held her.

I was lying in my hospital bed, watching as he carefully held her like an antique piece of history. He put on hand out, and Ruby held one of his fingers. That was the second time I saw Enzo crying. Except this time, he was sobbing. And hugging our baby. Our baby. Now the family was complete. I remember how when Ruby reached the age of 10 and had a boy over to study together. Enzo threatened to find him and kill him if he ever went near her. He was more overprotective of her than me. But I loved it. It reassured me that she'll be safe at all times. Just like I was.

"Just dropped Ruby off at school." He enters the kitchen. I'm over there leaning against the counter, and he comes up behind me, cupping my ass.
"Hey. Just because she's gone doesn't mean you get a front row ticket to ass grinding." He chuckles at my words.
"Where did you learn to talk like that?" He smirked.
"The new neighbours. That Kristal woman is something else. Love her already. That reminds me, you take care of Ruby tonight with Alex. Me, Kristal, and Lizzy are going for girls' night."

He chuckles.
"What's that poking me?" I roll my eyes. I already know what it is.
"My dick. Why?" He chuckles.
"Points for being so straightforward and not wasting my time. Now move it." He chuckles again, and I try to hide my laugh.
"Mm, thank you. But no. But you know, I think right now, you're not doing something right."
"What am I not doing right?"
"Well, you're not on your knees yet." I can't control my laugh, and it slips out. But soon I realise he won't joke and he pushes me down on my knees gently.

Then he pulls down his pants, and his dick falls out along with big bold letters above them on his lower stomach.
'Marry me'.
"Are you serious right now? You couldn't find a better way to propose?" I laugh.
"I haven't proposed yet. You have to work for it. Deep throat me to my base until your nose touches those pretty bold letters. Then I'll propose." He chuckles, and I laugh still. Only I then realise he isn't joking. Rough times make people go crazy.

And 6 months later, I was married. We can all guess what went down. I'm not going to say it because well... just don't make me say it! Ruby was our flower girl, and she loved our wedding. Lizzy and Alex, our best man and bridesmade. And everything was perfect.

THE END
