Fall back in love

Chapter 50

~Six Months Later~

~Ross Pov~

"Come on sweetheart, let's go get mommy some flowers." I grab my one-year-old daughter's hand and we walk into the flower shop.

"Alright Marley, pick out five flowers." I hold out five fingers and she nods. I watch as her green eyes look around the shop for the right ones. "Dada!" she says pointing to white orchids. "Good job kiddo." I grab them and she runs to the sunflowers, red roses, gardenias, and violets; and we pick those out as well.

"Let's get home before Mommy does." I pick her up as I finish paying for the flowers and leave for the car.

"Look who's home." I grab my daughter's attention and her smile grows when she sees Ashley's car in the driveway.

"Who can run to mommy the fastest?" Ask her, helping her out of the car. "I can!" She runs inside the house to find Ashley. "Mommy!" Marley runs towards her. "Hi, baby." Ashley picks Marley up kissing her on the cheek.

"Are these for me?" she asks about the flowers in her and Marley nods smiling at her. "I and Dada got them for you"

"Well, thank you." Ashley kisses Marley on the cheek again. "And especially thank you." She kisses me, wrapping her free arm around my neck and I smile into the kiss.

"Marley picked those out on her own and we're not done yet," I say deepening the kiss. "Really? What are you up to?" she asks pulling away. "that's for me to know and for you to find out, baby."

"Okay well, you only bring me flowers when you come home late, which happens once in a blue moon. When I'm stressing over an exam, which I don't have. when it's my birthday and when it's our anniversary, and that is." She rants but I interrupt her before she can finish. "That is today."

"What? No, it's not, I would've remembered, my birthday isn't for another week." She says and I shake my head chuckling. "Nope, it's today, December 13th." I grab my phone from my pocket and she goes into a fit of laughter when she sees the date.

"I can't believe I forgot, I'm so sorry." She apologizes. "You can make it up to me by getting ready for our date while I take Marley to Alice's house." I kiss her and she nods. "kiss mommy goodbye, Marley." I tell my daughter and she does as told. "I'll see you later," Ashley tells her and we head out.

~Ashley's Pov~

As Ross took Marley on her playdate with Landon, I got ready. I skimmed through my closet trying to find an outfit that would catch his eye. After a few more minutes I finally did and started my shower.

After about 15 minutes I got out and put on my gray shorts, tying them at the front, and a white deep-cut v-neck top, tucking it in.

I go back into the bathroom to blow dry my hair and add some loose curls to it. I then start my makeup, just a natural look. After finishing my makeup I am stuck deciding if I should wear my glasses or not, I text Ross to help me decide.

A- Babe?

A- Should I wear contacts or my glasses?

Suddenly the door opens. "Your glasses." He says but I am too distracted to pay attention.

"What did you do to your hair?" I say jaw dropped. "I thought I could use a change," he says biting his lip as he looks at me from head to toe. "You look sexy." he walks up to me, kissing my lips. "you look hot." I pull away and he smiles. "Are you ready to go?" he asks and I nod. I grab my jacket and we head out.

We were walking on the beach during the sunset and it was beautiful. "It's a beautiful night," I say looking up at the sky. "You're more beautiful," Ross says kissing my cheek, making me blush.

"Shut up." I shove him lightly and he laughs. "It's true, baby." He says and stops walking. "What's wrong? Why did you stop?" I turn around to find him on one knee. "Holy shit." I cover my mouth with my hands.

"I'm not good at being sentimental with words but given that we've been through a lot and are still together I want to be yours until death do us apart. Will you marry me?" He asks holding out a beautiful diamond ring.

I don't know if I want to cry or laugh, so I decide to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" he asks frowning. I got on one knee and he looked at me confused. "I had the same idea," I say holding out the ring I got him earlier this week.

"I love you." he laughs and leans in to kiss me. "Yes." We both pull away and put the rings on the other's finger.

~The End~
