Arianna's POV
~4 years later~
"Little April!" me and Nico said as he circled the little girl around.
"Uncle Nico! Aunt A!" she screamed, throwing her little chubby arms around Nico, then wiggling her way to me and did the same thing.
"You guys are finally here! I don't think I can take any more of that bunddle of energy! I'm out!" Jessica said, pulling Nate with her, kissing April on her head, and dragged Nate out of the door after he kissed his daughter.
Yup. They got a kid. And she's the cutest little thing! They said they had some business to take care of, so they left April in our care.
Me and Nico have been steady this past 4 years. We graduated and worked as soon as we were out of college. We were both writers. Well, he was a writer part time. His dad was opening up a hotel at Los Angeles. He studied how to handle the company and all, then we went to Paris the second year and I worked at Stacey's shop while he trained with his dad for another year. Then third year came and we decided to travel around the world with the money both of us earned from working. Then this year came and we settled down in L.A. I became Stacey's apprentice and she opened up a shop here in L.A. for me and Jessica. I was never interested in fashion designing, but after working with Jessica and Stacey, I've grown used to it. I was still writing though. The shop was just my part time job. Me and Jessica were just partners. She's the one who has most of the shares, so technically, it was hers.
"Aunt A, Uncle N, can we go to the amusement park?" April asked, putting on a puppy look.
Ugh! Nobody was able to resist those.
I smiled. "Of course. Go get ready." and then she ran off to her room.
I sighed, making Nico chuckle. "You couldn't resist huh?" he asked, wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close to him.
"As if I could. That kid is something." I sighed, grinning.
"You know, we've been together for four years now, and yet, we're still on the dating pace." he said.
I shrugged. "Not like we had time to think about it."
"True. We've been rather busy these past couple of years." he said then he kissed me. He nipped at my bottom lip and parted my lips with his tongue, making me moan lightly. I wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss even more. I pulled on his hair, getting the tangles out. He groaned appreciatively and pulled my butt, making our hips touch. "You're turning me on." he said against my lips.
I giggled. "Glad I have that affect on you even if it's been 4 years."
"Babe, I don't think that will change. You'll always have this effect on me. Even if it's 10 years, 20 years, or even 50 years. Is it possible to get a boner at the age of 75?" he asked curiously, pulling back slightly, his hands still gripping my ass.
"How the heck am I supposed to know? I don't study Male Anatomy, hun. In fact, you're the only one I've ever studied, if you know what I mean?" I said, winking at him.
He growled and put my lips on his again, this time rather agressively. But I didn't care. In fact, it was actually hot.
A scream cut us off, making us jump apart. "Ah! My eyes!" April screeched.
I laughed. "Sorry, little April. Come on. Let's go to the park!" I said, ushering her into the car. I walked back inside to grab the bag with April's spare clothes in case she decided to go for a swim. She'd drop it on the floor when she screamed and covered her eyes. As I was on my way to the car, I noticed that Nico hadn't moved from where we were kissing just a few minutes ago. I grinned. "Come on, lover boy." I said, pinching his boner teasingly.
He jumped and groaned. "You are the biggest tease I've ever known!" he said, clearly frustrated, trying to find a way of controlling his boner before we got to the park, so he wouldn't have to worry about being spotted with a raging boner in front of innocent little kids.
We jumped to the car and lucky for him, his boner had calmed down. We were walking down the park where I held my party at when I was turning 21. It was packed with people. Suddenly, April ran off.
"April! Where are you going? Come back here!" I screamed after her, but the crowd had parted and I saw my family and friends standing there, smiling goofily. Confused, I turned around to find Nico, but he wasn't there.
Psst!
I looked down and gasped. There he was, on his knees, a ring on his hand.
"I know this isn't the most romantic place to propose to you, but do you remember a few years ago when you said you wanted to go to this park with your family and friends, your boyfriend, or your own kid, and your husband just for the heck of it? I already went with you here last time as your boyfriend, you think next time we could go here again, but me as your husband?" he asked.
I was speechless. Shocked. We had talked about this a few hours ago. Was that why he brought it up? By now, there were people who gathered around us, staring in awe, listening to his speech closely.
"Arianna Thompson, I know this is overdue. Truth is, I've been thinking about this ever since we were on our second year, but I wanted to earn more money to be able to afford the wedding without my parents' help and to be able to support my own family if we ever decided to have one of our own. Arianna, you already know I love you, so will you marry me?" he asked.
Those words I was dying to hear from him. He finally said it. And I wasn't about to let go. For all I know, if I did, next thing I know, he's gone. I wasn't about to let that happened. I let go of Aaron and that's why it didn't work, but now I was given a second chance. And I'm sure as hell not gonna waste it.
I smiled through my tears, which I barely noticed. I nodded. "Yes! Yes! Definitely! Yes!" I said, then he slipped te ring around my fingers, spun me around, and kissed me.
Everyone around us cheered and there were confettis falling from above. I looked up and saw a helecopter dropping it and a banner on its tail saying "She Said Yes!" which made me laugh.
I looked at Nico and smiled again before kissing him.
This was perfect. No need for romantic, cheesy settings. Just him. That's all I needed. He'll be all I will ever need. He's always been. He was a friend, a boyfriend, and my lover.
