Chapter 22

Stephanie's POV

I looked at the clock in front of me

11:56 PM

Four more minutes..

I bit my lip

I sang Wrecking ball to kill time

I look at the clock

11:59 PM

I blinked 46 times..

Then

Auto-calling

He picked up at the first ring

"Hello beautiful"

"Hi"

I was so glad to hear his voice

"I'm so tired. How are you, baby?"

"Tired of laying in this bed"

"Awe, you'll be out from there soon. I'll take you back to your apartment and take a really good care of you"

He sounded so sweet

"I'll live there with you"

Aw

"But.."

"What's wrong?"

"That guy, Luis. Where does he sleep at?"

Oh yeah

Luis ruined everything

Way to go

"At my apartment"

I sighed

I could hear him smiling

"Naw, that's too bad."

I know right

"You're going to have to live at my house then"

Whew

I'd LOVE that

"But I can't do that"

"Why not?"

Umm

"Fine then"

"That's my girl"

"So how was work?"

"Awesome. Me and Samantha kissed"

I didn't know what to say

"I'm joking. I'd never do that to you"

Fuh

"I miss you"

"We're talking aren't we?"

"I miss you, you. The girl who is talking to me"

I smiled

"I miss you too, Royce"

"I want to kiss you so bad."

"I want to kiss you too"

"Really?"

Ish

"Really"

"Kiss me through the phone"

"No, silly"

"Fine. I'll kiss you now"

He was kissing his phone

I couldn't stop laughing

"You're being ridiculous, Royce"

"Its okay. You still love me anyway"

I laughed

"I can't wait to be your husband, Stephanie."

I was speechless

"Have babies with you.."

I could hear his smile

"What would you want their names be?"

"I don't know"

"Uh come on babe. You'll decide the girl name and I'll decide the boy name"

"Alright"

He was quiet for a bit

"How about SteRoy?"

I burst out laughing

"That's a really dumb name"

"Hey, its a combination of Stephanie and Royce"

I tried to think of a few names

"The girl name, how about.. Stella?"

"Wow! I love it babe. It's perfect"

"Stella it is"

I smiled

"Raphael"

Omg

Perfect

"Yesss. That's perfect"

"Raphael it is"

I smiled

"If I ask you to marry me now. Would you say yes?"

I blushed

"Definitely"

"I love you, Stephanie Hayden"

He hung up

That was when the door suddenly opened

Royce

He looked super gorgeous

He walked towards me and sat at the chair beside me

"Hi"

He smiled sweetly

"Hi"

He took something out from his pocket

A small pink box

Is he being serious?

He opened the box

Exposing a beautiful diamond ring

"Will you marry me?"

Tears started rolling down my cheeks

Oh my god

"You said you would"

He took the ring out from the box and slid it to my finger

"I love you"

He neared me and kissed my forehead

Then to my lips
