It's been a few months since everything went down. I've been having nightmares that someone is going to come for my family. I don't even let anyone touch me I feel disgusted and dirty. I stay up hours at a time just walking around and staring out from my balcony. Jackson walked in saying that he wanted to talk to me .....I don't think I can tell him right now.
"Athena please speak to me , you walk around here in your own world" He looked at me but I couldn't do the same it's like I turned into some shy insecure girl who doesn't have an ounce of confidence
"I'm worried you haven't been yourself , look I know we haven't been on best terms but I'm ready to take it slow and get us together" He said
"Jackson I'm dealing with so much , how do I know I can trust you? How do I know you won't go sneak off and cheat on me?" I felt tears coming I felt so much pain in my heart
"Listen that was the old me I was still in my ways and I was being very selfish. I'm focused on you and my kids now. I've hurt you and I'm very sorry , I know sorry isn't the best word but dammit Athena I truly mean it this marriage , us , our kids , I don't want to ever jeopardize it in anyway...I need you to trust and believe in me" He held my hands
"You don't want me Jackson I get it....after what happened to me in that basement I can barely look at myself in a mirror...." I walked over to the big body mirror and I looked at my bullet and stab wounds, I didn't feel beautiful.
"I walk around here like nothing has happened because I don't want to bother you and you wouldn't care" I said trying to wipe my eyes
"Athena don't ever think like that again , your the most beautiful person I ever met and you gave me the best gifts in the world my children. We have a special bond nobody will ever take from us. Let me show you what I can do tonight we will have dinner , my mother will babysit the children while we have time to ourselves" He said
"Jackson...I...I can't" I stumbled over my word but he held me and kissed my lips so softly
"I love you with all my heart never forget that" He smiled
"I love you too"
************************Later that night
I made sure Gabriella knew what to do with the twins , but she simply shoed me off and told me to not worry about the kids , she has them in good hands. I never been away from my babies this will the first time since they were born.
I had on a long white flowing dress and it fit to all my curves. I had simple gold jewelry on and some white and gold GuiseppeZanotti heels. I saw Jackson in his Armani suit and his hair was slicked back he looked so handsome. We got into his Rolls Royce and the car ride was silent but he held my hand the entire ride to wherever we were going.
"Will you tell me where we are going?"
"It's a surprise and we are almost there , so put this blindfold on"
I put the blindfold on anticipating what was coming next , I felt the car stop and Jackson came to open my door. I heard water and I felt the most warm breeze ever. He guided to what seem like a house , he took the blindfold off and it was the most beautiful beach house I ever seen. We walked to the dining room where I seen candles and rose petals everywhere. Oh gosh it was all so beautiful. We sat down and ate dinner and actually had a conversation without yelling at each other and it felt good.
"So you enjoying yourself" He said while sipping he's wine
"Yes very much so , thank you Jackson" I smiled
"Well get up I want to take you for a walk"
"Ohkay"
I took off my shoes and held his hand as we started walking down the beach. The sunset was slowly going away. I looked out to the water and I didn't even realize Jackson was talking to me which snap me out of it.
"Athena , sweetie you ohkay?" He asked looking at me
"Oh yes sorry I was just thinking ..."
"About?"
"About where our relationship stands and if you still want me"
"I do want you and everything that we've built and more to come"
I smiled and he slowly wrapped his arms around me. I looked into his eye and we kissed , but this kiss meant something it said we have a chance. I see Jackson for more than what he was before. I want to spend the rest of my life this man , my bestfriend , my love , the father to all my kids.
He carried me in the house and up the stairs. He told me to take a bath while he got something for me. I did as told and took a long needed bath and just soaked , after a good hour I got out and wrapped the towel around me. I walked out the bathroom to see a bra and panties set from PINK on the bed and I slid them on and added lotion. I walked over to see the scars on me..
"Jackson let me show you something" He placed his hands on my shoulders
"Jackson look at me....I'm ugly" I put my head down
"Your far from that cara ...your beautiful in my eyes"
He slowly traced over my scars and kissing every inch of my body. Then he did something I would of never thought about ...he dropped to one knee.
"Athena Francesca Moore will you marry me again? I love you more than life itself and I can't see myself without you again , those days when you weren't there left me feeling empty but now that is the past and baby I'm ready to make our future happen" He said while opening the box to reveal the same ring he first got me
"Jackson I know we had an rough patch in our life , but I've looked past that too and my answer is YES!" I kissed him as he swung me around and put the ring on my finger
"Now I don't know about you but I think we have some unfinished business to take care off" He smirked
I knew that face when I seen it
"Yes we do have some business to settle Mr.DeLuca" I pulled him closer to me
He carried me to the bed and one thing led to another .......
"Let me take it from here Athena" He whispered upon my lips
I got my fiancé back and I never wanted this night to end....
