“Are you sure about this, Knowing about my disease and all? Plus, you don’t have to marry me because I’m pregnant.”
“I’m a thousand percent sure that I don’t want to live without you ever again.”
“You are a neat freak and I’m the opposite of neat.” She smirks.
“I know, can you please sayyesto being Mrs Wyler?”
“I like gatherings, and you like your quiet space,” she warns, like I don’t already know she’s a social butterfly long as you are not the center of attraction and I prefer to be in the background.
“I also know that. Please, sayyes,” I repeat.
“You analyze your day before your first coffee, and I just drink my tea and walk out the door.”
“I know that as well.”
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you, because you can’t walk away later. I will hunt you down and—”
“Can you please sayyesfirst?” I state, interrupting her quest to convince me otherwise.
“Yes,” she answers with a wide smile. The ring is out of the box fast, and I’m putting it on her finger before kissing her. “I love you, Daniel.”
“I love you too.”
I take over her lips. A happy warmth floods through me as our lips touch, soft and tender, a feeling of pure bliss.My god, I love this woman so much. Word can’t express the depth of my love for her.She pulls back and I just gaze at her for a moment.
“We are destined. It’s no mistake that I waited for you. And I think our connection was activated when you bumped into me at Luke and Dele’s wedding.” Her eyes widened. “You don’t remember, but I haven’t stopped thinking about you since that moment. It didn’t help that you turned your sexy ass in my face the first day we were introduced.”
She pokes my chest, and I smile.
“I was a bit tipsy at the wedding; I don’t remember bumping into you.”
“I did, and the universe led me to you again.”
She kisses my lips.
“I’m scared about the pregnancy,” she whispers.
“I know, but we’ll take every step together, I promise.”
I pull her to me. She has no idea how happy I am that she said yes. And the best part is the fact she’s pregnant.
We stay in our comfort silence.
Until there’s a knock on the door.
“Come in,” Anu answers. Jordan opens the door, peeping in with Andrea, almost tripping over him while trying to snoop. They both look unsure of what to say to us. “I’m engaged!” Anu shouts with her left hand out, showing off her ring.
“Oh my gosh!” Andrea yells, pushing Jordan out of the way and racing to give Anu a hug before inspecting the ring.
“Congrats! But, dude, you could have waited twenty- four hours.” Jordan reminds me again about the twenty-four rule that I know nothing about and couldn’t care less about.
“He couldn’t,” Andrea retorts to him, and hugs Anu again.
“I agree; I can’t wait that long. So how about we get married right away?” I watch in amusement as all the mouths drop open and pairs of wide eyes stare at me.
“I like a man that’s quick to action,” Andrea says, breaking the shock in the room, just as Jordan shakes his head in exasperation at her.
“Think about it: we can get married tomorrow and spend time planning a wedding.”
