Winnie is about to pick up her glass when the restaurant lights suddenly dim, and a calm, slow love song begins playing in the background.
“What’s happening?” she asks me, still confused as she looks between me and around the restaurant.
I watch as her eyes widen in shock and she gasps out, as our two little angels walk to our table, with matching outfits, hand in hand.
“Oh my god,” Winnie says, as she gets to her feet and makes her way to our daughters.
“Luna, Isla, my babies,” she says, engulfing them both in a bear hug and crouching down to their level.
Isla struggles from her grip and makes her way to me, and I scoop her up, wrapping her tiny arms around my neck. “Hi, baby girl,” I whisper to her. “Thank you,” I say as I plant a kiss on her head. She giggles as I place her back on her feet and go down on a knee.
“How did you—“Winnie starts asking but loses her words in her throat when she sees me on a knee and a tiny box with a twenty-four-carat Diamond ring in it.
“Will you marry me, Winnie? Can we now make this real? I can’t afford to lose you, not now, not ever.” I say, trying to keep my emotions from breaking through my voice, as she steps closer, Luna trailing after her.
I can see tears forming in her eyes. “Yes,” she answers, wrapping her arms around my neck.
“Yes, what?” I ask, blinking off the tears that threaten to fall out.
“Yes, I will marry you!”
We are back in the house, to our room, after we successfully put Luna and Isla to bed and have the moment to ourselves.
“Can you please help with my dress zipper?” she asks, pushing her hair from her back, and exposing her inviting neck.
“Sure, love,” I say as I step closer to her. I reach for the zip and undo it, slowly letting it fall down her back, leaving a little bit of skin exposed.
I lean in to kiss her shoulder, and she shudders, before turning around.
She leans forward and kisses me deeply, wrapping her hands around my neck, pulling me closer and literally merging with her.
“God, you feel amazing.” She breathes in my ear, sending chills down my spine.
Fuck.
“So do you,” I say softly against her lips, causing her to blush, which causes me to chuckle slightly.
“Shut up,” She groans, before connecting her lips to mine, again, deepening the kiss.
“Fuck, I so fucking love you,” I say, as we both come up for air, leaning our heads on each other.
“What did you say?” she asks with a giggle.
“I love you so much, Winnie,” I say, meaning every single word I mention.
“I love you, too… Ted,” she says with a smile, pecking me lightly on the lips.
I run my fingers through her hair, as she pushes me further onto the bed. I don’t think she’s paying attention to anything other than how good we feel together.
I move my hands to her hips, bringing her closer to me, and causing her to let out another giggle.
I let my hands travel upwards until they are cupping her cheeks, and she leans into my touch.
I slide my index finger under the strap of her bra, running it over the soft skin.
“Mmmm,” she moans, as she pulls her head back. “I want you so bad,” she says, as she continues kissing me while undoing the buttons on my shirt.
Her hand is right at my belt buckle when our room door suddenly opens up to reveal our little bundles.
