I take Jasmine’s hand in mine. “Today watching my little sister so happy marrying my best friend was special but what was even more special, Jas, was having you there beside me. I always want you beside me.”
She tilts her face up to mine, and Jasmine’s beautiful green eyes sparkle in the moonlight.
I swallow past the lump in my throat before asking, “Is that something you want too, Jas? Us together always.”
“Yes, I want that too, Scott. Are you suggesting a new one-time deal?” she whispers tentatively.
Shifting from behind her, I stand to move around the daybed to her side.
“Yes, so I better do this right then,” I tell her before bending down on one knee and saying, “Jasmine, I love you so much. Will you please always be beside me as my wife, lover, and friend?”
“Oh, Scott, yes always and forever. I love you too.” Tears well in her eyes, as I lean forward to kiss her waiting lips lightly.
“I think we’ve got ourselves a new deal then,” I say before sealing the deal with another deeper, more lingering kiss.
But in case she has any doubts about my feelings, I drag my lips away and whisper in her ear, “I love you, Jasmine.”
My words bring our lips together again as I begin to show her just how deep my love goes.
The End
