Unexpected Love

Chapter 13

Ann-Kathrin's P. O. V.

It's been 3 days since the 'incident' with John. I've been spending basically all my time with Mario. I just don't feel safe unless we're together. He's at training right now though. I haven't been leaving the house unless I'm with Mario, in fear that I'll see John. I told my manager I needed a break from modeling for a month or so. I just don't know how long it's going to take to get over this.

Mario gets back from training, and I'm laying on the couch in a sports bra and sweatpants. I really haven't tried to look good there past few days. I've really only showered.

Mario carefully sits down next to me, pulling me in his arms, "hi baby. How are you doing today?" I smile up at him, "I'm okay. " Mario kisses me, "Okay, that's good. Let me go shower then we can have a movie marathon, okay?" I nod as he goes into the bathroom.

I feel bad. Mario hasn't gone anywhere except for training then home. He should be out having fun and hanging with his friends. I feel terrible for making him feel like he needs to be with me 24/7. I hate being wounded and broken.

Mario gets out of the shower and comes to lay with me on the couch, pulling a blanket around us.

We've watched 2 movies already. And the 2nd one just ended. I get up to put a different one in and Mario says, "How about you put Planet of the Apes in. " I nod and grab the case. When I open it, the movie isn't there. I gasp as I realize what is there. A gorgeous diamond ring. I look up at Mario, who is not kneeling behind me.

Mario grabs the ring from my and grabs my hands, "Ann-Kathrin, I love you so much. And I am so sorry that you've gone through something that no person should ever have to go through. I know you're hurting and having a hard time coping with this, but I want to be there for you. And not just for the time being, but forever. I want to be there with you to get you through anything that hurts you. I want to marry you and have little babies with you. So, Ann-Kathrin, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

At this point, tears are running down my face. I nod, "yes" Mario grabs my hand and slides the ring on, pulling me into a kiss. When we pull away, I set my hand on his cheek, "I love you. " Mario smiles, "And I love you. "

So, yeah, Mario proposed to me. And I couldn't be happier. After the proposal, we made out for awhile and drank some wine and now we're back to watching movies. Mario has his hand under my shirt, tracing circles on my waist. Mario whispers in my ear, "You know, I was planning on proposing you the night things happened with John." I look up at him, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry" He laughs, "It's okay, really. I don't care how or when it happened, I'm just happy you said yes. " I lean up and kiss him.

I feel terrible because ever since John did what he did, I haven't let Mario sleep with me. I've barely even let him touch me. It's killing me so it has to be killing him. I think I'm okay. I think I'm getting over it.

I look up at Mario, who's watching the movie. I lean up and kiss him. He kisses me back carefully. Until I shove my tongue in his mouth and straddle him, pulling at him shirt.

Mario pulls away, "Are you sure?" I nod. Mario doesn't need much convincing because he shoves his lips right back on mine. I get Mario's shirt off then my hands make their way to his pants. I work the button, unbuttoning them. Mario stands up, pulling them off then continues to kiss me. I run my hand down his chest and stomach, stopping at the waist band of his briefs.

I hook my finger around the elastic and tug on them. Mario moans in the back of his throat as I slowly pull his briefs down. when I get them down, Mario lifts me up, carrying me into the kitchen, laying me down on the island. He pulls my sports bra off and my sweatpants off pretty quickly. Leaving me just in my underwear. Mario kisses me on the lips then moves to my neck. He trails kisses from my neck to my chest to my stomach, stopping at my underwear.

Mario picks up the waistband of my underwear between his teeth, never taking his eyes from mine. He slowly drags my underwear down to my ankles with his teeth. When they're down to my ankles, I kick them off. Leaving us both completely naked. And things go on from there.

I wake up the next morning before Mario does. I sneak into the bathroom to shower. When I'm done, I dry my hair and style it, put makeup on and dress in a cute outfit Mario got me. I walk out into the kitchen to see Mario making breakfast. He looks at me in surprise. Probably surprised I actually cleaned myself up. He raises his brows, "you okay?" I walk up to him, wrapping my arms around his neck, pecking him on the lips, "I'm okay. " Mario smiles, "I love you. " I grin and kiss him a little longer this time, "I love you too. "

I sigh, "Well, we just got through a hurdle. And now we move on to the next one. " Mario furrows his brows, "What are you talking about?" I take a deep breath, "We have to tell my family we're engaged. " Mario groans, "oh crap. Your family hates me!" I sigh, "They don't hate you. They just don't trust you. "

Mario laughs sarcastically, "Well that's much better. " I grab his face between my hands, "Mario, look at me. They loved you. And now they're going to love you again because they know how much I love you and now they'll know how much you love me. "

Mario sighs and nods, "I guess you're right. " I laugh and peck his lips, "Of course I'm right, babe. I'm always right" Mario smiles at me, "I'm so glad you're feeling better. " I nod, "I am too."
