The Rove Life - Sequel To The Beginning of Rove

Part 9

Two years. That's how long I've been in Miami. Jack is five, Bella is eight, and Saige is two. Remember how I said I was pregnant again? Well that was with Saige. I haven't dated since Ryan and I don't feel like it. I miss him but wish he wouldn't have cheated on me. 

"Chloe! Someone's here to see you!" Branden yells. I get up from the couch and walk to the door. 

"Ryan! Go away." I say trying to shut the door. 

"No. Let me explain since I came all the way here. Marisa, she's my ex-girlfriend. I didn't cheat on you. She kept calling me and bugging me. Eventually, she said if I didn't date her, she'd hurt you guys. She works with Zayn." Ryan said. 

"What?" I ask. 

"You heard me. Marisa was blackmailing me and working with Zayn. You of all people should know I'd never let anyone hurt you if I could help it." Ryan said. I'm trying not to cry but it doesn't work. 

"I've missed you." I say and hug him. 

"I've missed you too." Ryan says, running his fingers through my hair. "So we good?" 

"Yep." I say. I know I may seem stupid right now, but I have a bracelet that vibrates when someone lies. I knew Ryan wasn't lying when he said that. 

"Did your magic bracelet prove to you I wasn't lying?" Ryan jokes. 

"Yup." I smile. Then I hear Bella and Jack come up behind me. 

"Daddy? What are you doing here?" Bella asks. 

"Bella, daddy wants to tell you something." I say. 

~*~*~*~*~

 Bella was really happy to learn she could trust her dad. Jack was too. Saige didn't know what was going on but that doesn't matter. What matters is that we're all back in L.A. 

"Bella! Jack! Saige! Aunty Claire's here!" I announce. Me and Ryan decided to go on a date. He told me to wear my swimsuit. We drive for a while then appear at the McCartan's beach. We eat dinner, jokey around, and go swimming. 

"That night sky is beautiful." Ryan says as we look up at it. 

"Yeah." I say. I hear Ryan move around then everything is quiet. 

"Chloe?" Ryan says. 

"Yeah?" I ask. No answer. I sit up and turn towards him. Then I gasp and put my hands over my mouth. He's kneeling beside me with a ring in his hand. 

"Chloe, since the day I met you, I fell in love. It may not have seemed like it that first day, but I did. I love spending time with you and couldn't stand it while you were gone. Will you marry me?" Ryan asks. 

"Yes!" I nod. He kisses me and puts the ring on my finger. Best. Day. Ever!
