Not So Delicate ||18+

Atticus ~94~

A couple of months had passed since that amazing night. Since then, we've experimented with so many different kinks and toys; we unlocked parts of each other that we didn't know we had. Safe to say, she's a naughty little girl. It was expected, of course, but damn.

Some nights, she would have night terrors about everything that had happened. But we had made sure she was safe and secure, always letting her sleep with one of us if she wanted to nap or if she wanted comfort.

I found out from Zachary that she had slept with me when I was on medications. She had witnessed me sleepwalking. But I didn't do anything to her. Instead, she coaxed me back to bed, and eventually, I woke up, but I hadn't remembered that part.

Now she's adamant about napping with me since I won't do her anything. I don't deny her that, but I do make sure the guys know to check in.

The house was quiet. It was already almost Halloween, and the house was decked out in decorations. It's the first time our house has ever been this decorated in years. There were two skeletons in a fucking position down the hall. Originally, it was supposed to be two skeletons dancing.. but Zachary figured out how to move them.

I hadn't realized how fun it was to decorate a house for the holidays. But then again, Brooklyn brings fun to everything. I was happy that we were all happy. She's made me smile and laugh more in just a few months than I have in years.

Zach and Cal took her out shopping since she wanted to buy new outfits. I gave her my card and told her to go wild. She had her own card too, but I preferred her use mine. We had hired her to be the official photographer for the club, so she was getting in some good cash... and tips. 

I hear my phone ring, picking up without looking at the caller.

"What?" I grumble, walking to the kitchen to get something to eat. I could hear talking in the background before a familiar voice sounded out on the other line, making me sigh. "Alejandro."

"Hey, my man! I'm on my way with your package." He says, closing the car door and starting his car. I sigh and tell him the address, waiting for him to bring the packages. Alejandro was a trusted friend of Zachary. His skills were indescribable.

I had never felt this nervous in my whole years of living on this earth. But fuck is this making me nervous. I pace the house up and down, waiting to hear the doorbell. I think I might've worn the floorboards down from how much I walked up and down.

The doorbell finally rang after a while, making my breath hitch. I walked to the door, calming my breathing before opening the door, and seeing Alejandro grinning at me.

I sigh and take the package from him, listening to him ramble on about the process and then the stress. I thanked him genuinely before sending him off, taking the small package into the living room and opening it.

The rings had finally arrived. I sat back on the couch, staring at the jewelry in the box. It was one of the three rings that would adorn her finger. It was a three-piece set. Once all of them were together, it would reveal three small diamond hearts stacked above each other.

On the inside, there were engravings that said 'I love you' in our own handwriting. They looked perfect. I just hoped she'd like them. If she says yes, the wedding rings will have a similar design.

I'm not a family man. I'm not. I don't even think of a future with children because all I see is my father. I don't want to be like him. Brooklyn doesn't deserve that. But dammit I want to marry her. I want to see her walk down the aisle with that smile on her face that always made my heart flutter.

I quickly hide the package when the door opens and Brooklyn struts in grinning, Cal and Zach carrying a shit ton of bags with them.

"Damn baby, when I said go wild I wasn't expecting you to actually listen." I chuckle, grinning at her as she saunters over and plops her pretty ass down on my lap.
