She gets out the car quickly, with me following, and stops near the table.

"Thank you, this is way more than I expected."

I turn her to me, kissing her lightly.

"This was how I was planning to ask you to marry me. I thought you deserved to see it." I panic a little, worried how she will take it.

"I would have said yes a million times over, but how you asked me was perfect." She kisses me again, and, this time, neither of us let go as the kiss turns more passionate. I pick her up, pushing her against the wooden fence on the decking and kissing down her neck.

I pull away. "Wait, I have to tell you something. Let's eat first."

I take her hand, leading her to her chair and pulling it out for her to sit on. I serve up the Chinese food while she frowns a little at me.

"Everything okay?" she hesitantly asks.

Shit, I've worried her when I didn't mean to.

"Sorry, baby, I didn't want to worry you." I pause, putting down my fork to hold her hand.

"I wanted to tell you that I bought into Harley’s gym. I paid for the expansion that’s happening soon, and Harley made me half owner with him. I was never like you. University wasn't a dream for me, but I know I’ll enjoy working with my brother." I stop speaking and look at her shocked face.

"This means once you’re ready to leave Jake with me, you can apply for university or college. I know you had great grades when you left, so I know you can do anything you want when you put your mind to it,"I finish, watching her stunning, brown eyes.

She doesn't say anything for a long time, and I'm sweating, nervous of her reply.

"Please say something," I ask, getting worried.

She gets up and throws herself into my lap kissing me. I groan when she runs her hands up my shirt, playing with my chest.

“I love you so much, Sebby,” she whispers against my lips.

"Baby, does this mean you’re happy?" I struggle to say while she is kissing my jaw and down my neck.

"I love you so much. I can't believe you did that for me, but I love you more for it. You’re so sweet." She moans when I play with her breasts through her dress.

"How about we go home, and you can show me how happy you are with me?" I grin at her.

"Take me home, Sebby." She moans in my arms.

“Not until we eat. A little teasing won’t harm you,” I say, making her laugh and not being able to wipe the big smile off my lips as she kisses me again.

Epilogue

Elliot

"What do you want?" Tristan glares at me as I turn off my Harley. I take my helmet off and leave it on the seat. I walk over to the idiot who is begging me to hit him.

"What do you think? You’re not stupid, Tristan, so answer your own fucking question," I spit out at him. I fold my arms across my chest as I stand right in front of him.

"Is this about Allie?” he asks.

You wouldn't guess Allie and Tristan are siblings by how they look. Tristan has nearly black hair from his father, whereas Allie must look like her mother, with her beautiful blond hair. They both share the same eyes and annoying attitude.

"Allie doesn't know about her dad, does she?" I nearly shout, but I hold my hands in fists.

I can’t knock out Allie's brother. I spent years hating a girl, who hasn't done anything. When I was younger, I thought I was in love with her. Her beautiful, blond hair and blue eyes drew me in and her fucking cheeky attitude even more.Then Tristan told me she knew all about my dad and us fighting at The Cage. She knew her dad helped beat the shit out of us and she didn’t care.

"It doesn't matter if she does or not. Not to you, she hates you." He smirks.
