Page 103 of Play of Love
I melted into his kiss, and when he pulled away I saw the love that filled his eyes and melted even more. I remembered the day of the game, when I’d thought I’d never have what Gage and Evie had. But I didn’t realize then that I did. I was just too scared to see it.
He took my hand, held it up, and shook it.
“I guess now we know what this is. This thing between us that’s kept us going.” He smiled widely.
“Yes, we do.” It was love.
“So, we should do something about that, right?”
“Yes, I agree. What do you have in mind?” I giggled. “We should write it down on paper and sign it, for references.”
“Exactly. But I have a better idea.” His blue-green eyes sparkled with delight as he stretched out his hand.
I stared at him waiting to hear his idea, and could have just about fainted from shock when I watched him lower to one knee and produced a small, pink, velvet box from the back pocket of his jeans.
I brought up my hands to my cheeks and drew in a sharp gasp.
My heart pounded within my chest as I watched him open the box and reveal a tiny, ever so delicate ring with an oval-cut diamond centered in the middle, reflecting the light with brilliance and flashing a spectrum of colors as it sparkled.
“My Amy. You are my world. Please make me the happiest man alive by being my wife.”
I felt lightheaded, like I might faint, and my skin tingled as I continued to watch him.
As I gazed down at my dream man before me I felt like the luckiest woman alive. He was my angel and my world too.
“Yes… Absolutely yes.” I’d never agreed to anything so quickly in my life, and I’d never been happier. Not ever. The happiness I felt swelled within me. It burst into spasms of joy as he slipped the ring onto my finger and picked me up to kiss me . I ran my hands through his thick, spiky hair and over him, appreciating that he was mine.
“Right, we have to go now to make sure we have enough time,” he suddenly declared, flicking me around effortlessly so that he could carry me.
I giggled against his lips and slipped my arms around his neck. “Enough time for what, Josh?”
“I plan to make love to you all night, and a few more times before Hilda gets here. We don’t want the poor thing to get the shock of her life if she walks in on us.”
I just looked at him, shook my head, and said, “Okay.”
I laughed as he carried me up to our room and into our new life, where we would love each other forever.
