Under The Sea

Chapter 22

The next morning when I woke up, I felt Ricky snuggled up behind me I rolled over in bed facing him, I slid my hand under the blanket and palmed him through his pajama bottoms Ricky was starting to stir he gazed at me with lust filled eyes. 

"Morning my love." 

"Morning baby."

I stopped before he could reach his release Ricky leaned in and kissed me, we laid in bed and gazed into each other's eyes. 

"What's on your mind?" I asked curiously. 

I watched Ricky climbed out of bed he opened the drawer of his bedside table and took out a small velvet box he closed the drawer I sat up in bed and pulled the covers back. Ricky walked around to my side of the bed he got down on one knee. 

"Madeline, I love you with all of my heart will you marry me?" 

"Yes!" 

Ricky opened the ring box he took out the ring and slid it onto my finger he rejoined me on the bed and kissed me I wrapped my arms around his neck. 

"I love you." I smiled. 

"I love you, too." Ricky purred, stroking my cheek with the back of his finger. 

We climbed out of bed and walked downstairs Ricky and I entered the kitchen. 

"What would you like for breakfast?"

"I was going to have a bowl of cereal." 

Ricky and I made ourselves a bowl of cereal we sat down at the kitchen table and ate breakfast together. When I was finished eating, I took my bowl to the sink and washed up my bowl and spoon I dried my dishes and put them away. I left the kitchen I walked back upstairs to mine and Ricky's room I walked into the room and got dressed I walked into the bathroom when I came out of the bathroom Ricky was making the bed. 

"Will we have a huge lavish wedding?" He asked, putting the pillows back on the bed. 

"No because I don't want a lavish wedding, I just want a private wedding." I said. 

I left the bedroom and walked downstairs as I was walking down the stairs, I heard someone knocking at the door I walked over to the door and answered it. I was shocked to see Bradley standing on the doorstep. 

"How did you find me?"

"Your father told me where to find you." 

"What do you want?!" I demanded. 

"You know what I want so let's go up to your room and let's make an heir of our own." Bradley smiled wickedly.

"Leave me alone I don't want you because I don't love you and I never will besides you'll never make a father because your son or daughter will be just like you!!" 

I slammed the door and locked it Bradley was pounding on the door and yelling I pulled out my cellphone and called the police. A few minutes later the police arrived I opened the door and let the female officer inside. 

"Ma'am what's going on?" the female officer asked. 

"My ex-betrothed prince Bradley won't leave me alone and I'm sick of it my father told him where to find me I don't love Bradley, I moved on with my life and just got engaged to my boyfriend." I stated. 

"Would you like a restraining against your ex-betrothed and father?" 

"Yes."

The female officer handed me the paper work to fill out I filled out the restraining orders against Bradley and my father, I handed the forms back to the officer. 

"Baby what's the matter?" Ricky asked, entering the living room. 

"I am getting a restraining order for Bradley and my father." I said. 

"You're doing the right thing." 

"Your ex-betrothed and father are going to jail." 

I wrote down my parents address and handed it to the officer I told the officer everything that Bradley said to me after the officer left Ricky joined me on the couch. 

"What makes him think you want him to be the father of your children?" Ricky asked. 

"He's not husband or father material." I replied. 

"What about me?" 

"You have what it takes to be a husband and father." 

Later on, that afternoon someone was knocking at the door Ricky got up off the couch and left the living room. He came back into the living room with his parents Ricky sat beside me on the couch Mr. and Mrs. Snow sat down on the love seat. 

"Are you two okay we saw the police?" Mrs. Snow asked concerned. 

"We're safe I called the police on my ex-betrothed because he won't leave me alone, I got a restraining order against him and my father." I explained. 

"Mom, dad, Maddie and I are engaged." 

"Congrats!" 

Ricky and I invited his parents to stay for dinner they politely declined and left the estate later on that night Ricky and I were lying in bed in a comfortable silence. 

"I'm looking forward to becoming your wife." I stated breaking the silence. 

"I'm looking forward to becoming your husband." Ricky replied. 

We kissed each other good-night and slowly drifted off to sleep.
