My Brother's Best Friend

Chapter 53

"Santo, the girls will be back soon." I whisper, but he doesn't listen. "Babe."

"One second."

"Chresanto." I say seriously.

"I don't wanna." He groans, but opens his eyes anyway. "Can we just sleep forever?"

"Unfortunately, no. But fortunately, my babies will be here soon." I smile.

"Our." He corrects, sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "We have got to thank Mama for watching them, that's the first night that we've actually slept in a while."

"I know right." I laugh, also sitting up.

He turns towards me and pushes his lips out, "Kiss?"

I lean over, kissing him slowly. Santo takes my bottom lip between his teeth, biting down gently. He keeps it in between his teeth as he pulls away. He pecks my lips once after he pulls completely away. "Take a shower with me?" He asks.

"No funny business?"

"Does kissing count?"

"Nope." I answer, standing up.

"Okay." He smiles.

I head to the bathroom, there is towels and rags in the bathroom already. Santo follows me, talking about what we're doing today. He wants to go on a hike.

"Okay, baby boy. Whatever you want." I smile, checking to see if the water is warm enough.

"Is today my birthday?" He jokingly asks.

"No, babe, but it sounds fun. The hike."

"It's almost you're birthday." He says, wrapping his arms around my waist. "What do you want?"

"Nothing." I answer, turning to peck his cheek.

"So, a surprise. Got it." He nods.

"Babe, you don't have to buy me anything." I tell him, pecking his cheek.

"I know, I want to though."

We step under the warm water. "Gimme your shampoo." Santo holds his hand out.

I turn around, handing him my strawberry scented shampoo. He opens it, pouring some in his hand. "This smells good." He chuckles, massaging it into my hair.

"Thank you." I smile.

I turn around and peck his lips after he is done. He stares in my eyes, smiling. He seemed like he was searching for something. "What?" I blush.

"I always see something in you. I've never seen it in anyone else, I've never seen it in myself. You make me want to do my best, I see myself marrying you and us growing old together, having a family. I don't know, I just want to give you everything you deserve to have." He answers, making me turn a deeper shade of red as butterflies form in my stomach. "Let's get married. Just have Ray sign the papers, we can have a big fancy wedding, whatever you want. I want to call you my wife as soon as possible."

My heart flutters at this, "Okay, Santo. Let's do it." I agree, feeling the same.

*Santo's POV*

I love Jazmine so much. I can't describe it. When I look into her eyes, I see a future. She makes me want to do my best. She gave me my first two kids, my two daughters, and every other one will be from her.

I can not picture myself with anyone else, even if I tried. I know what I'm going to get her, as soon as I got enough for it. I only need about two hundred more, then it's hers.
