Page 84 of Enough

Jaden turned Claudia; her backside now tight against his front. “There is not a day that goes by that I haven’t imagined us together…” his lips met her shoulder then rested right above her ear. “Forever…”

Claudia’s heart rate increased. “Forever?”

Jaden twirled her out and dropped to one knee producing a silver box which he popped instantly. He never took his eyes off of Claudia as a sharp gasp fled her lips. The crowd went crazy as they watched on in anticipation. Cameras rolled and pictures snapped as people held their loved ones’ close.

“Chérie, I don’t want to spend another moment without you.” He reached out to her, “Will you do me the honor and—”

“Yes!” Claudia shouted. And the crowd went wild. A lone tear slid out of Jaden’s eye as he placed the ring on Claudia’s finger. It was a perfect fit. He placed a kiss on the back of her hand and rose, lifting her in his arms in a twirl. Claudia sank her lips to his lips in a delicious kiss that exploded through them both.

“Alright now, get a room!”

Laughter skittered around. When the couple pulled apart, they turned to see Jonas and Samiyah. Samiyah was dabbing at tears that threatened to fall out of the corners of her eyes. They strolled up to Jaden and Claudia along with Desiree, Julian, Adeline, Angelo, and Cassie.

“Congratulations!” They all yelled.

“Well, there’s no way we can top that!” Angelo confirmed.

They all laughed, and Samiyah pointed to Claudia. “Now who’s the lucky girl?”

Claudia squealed, elated to be the future Mrs. Jaden Alexander Rose.”
