Rochè's POV

"Mother, Father," I said as I walked into the study where they were with Ross behind me. "Yes, Rochè?" Father asked and I could already feel myself blush. "Ross and I have something to tell you guys," I said and my father rose a curious eyebrow. "Well what is it?" he asked and I looked up at Ross. "I choose Ross," I said and my father stared blankly at me. "For what?" Father asked confused and a giggle escaped mine and Ross's mouths as Mother rolled her eyes. "Just give him a minute," Mother said and it was silent for a couple of seconds before realisation crossed over Father's features. "Oh you choose Ross," he said and I giggled again and I blushed. "Oh congratulations you two," Mother said before she stood up and pulled both of us into a hug. "Thank you, Clarisse," Ross said and she kissed his cheek before kissing mine and my father pulled me into a hug. "Congratulations, sweetheart," he said before letting go and shaking Ross's hand.

"Are we telling the families? Oh we should hold a ball to celebrate the engagement! We can invite kings and queens from all over the world," Mother said getting excited and Ross chuckled next to me. "I would like to discuss something with you later if that's fine. We decided not to tell the families, but I will explain that to you later," Ross said causing me to look at him confused. "Oh, yes, of course, we shall speak later. James we need to inform the lawyers and the government," Clarisse said and James nodded. "Yes I will be contacting them for a meeting right away," he said as he walked to the desk. "We will speak later on," I said and both my parents nodded before we walked out of the study. "Well that's done," Ross said and I nodded in agreement. "What do you want to do now?" I asked and he shrugged. "I'm not sure, my love, but I have training in an hour," he said causing my eyes to widen. "Shoot! I also have training today," I realised causing Ross to giggle.

"When?" he asked and I sighed. "At noon. I really don't want to go," I whined as I placed my head on his chest and felt him rest his chin on my head. "Then don't go," he said and I sighed again. "I wish I was that simple. I wanna talk to my father about getting my schedule cleared up once I'm married. I'll tell him I want more time with my husband," I said as I looked up at Ross and he gave me a cheeky grin.

"Hmm. Is that so? We'll have to talk to him then," he said before kissing my nose and I nodded my head. "We will have to. You should probably start heading back and getting ready for training," I said and he nodded. "Yeah I should get going. I'll see you later okay? I still want to talk to your mother later," he said before giving me a kiss. "I love you," I whispered against his lips and he grinned. "I love you too," he said and my stomach did flips at his words.

I walked into my bedroom. Starving, cramping, sticky, sweaty and stinky after an intense training session. It feels like I'm going to die! I sighed heavily as I shut my door and walked into my en suite bathroom. I took off my training jacket and yoga pants along with my undergarments and climbed into the shower. I opened the warm water and immediately sighed in relief as it hit my aching muscles. I had no idea why Damion was so rough on my today, but I don't appreciate it.

At all.

I sighed before stepping out of my shower after about 10 minutes of washing myself slowly and wrapped myself in a fluffy towel. I threw my clothes in the hamper before I walked out of the bathroom and to my surprise someone was in my bedroom. "Whoops sorry, love," Ross said quickly as he covered his eyes and turned around. "Your mother told me that you would be up here, but she didn't mention that you would be taking a shower," Ross quickly explained and I giggled. "It's fine, Ross. How was training?" I asked calmly and he shrugged, still facing away from me. "The usual how was yours?" he asked and I let out a huff.
