It's the day after Liam proposed to me. Tonight we are having a dinner party at the house, inviting everyone over to share the good news. We got the house fixed up and waited for their arrival. I look down at my new ring and smile.
Liam: Did I do good?
Me: Baby, you did great. I loved it all.
Liam: Now we can officially start a family. I'm so happy you said yes.
Me: We could have started already, and I was never going to say no.
Liam: My dad raised me old-fashioned. Marriage then kids. I don't want our kids born out of wedlock.
Me: Awww.
I kiss him. He lays me back down on the couch. I love everything about this man. I love the way he goes out of his way to make me happy. He treats me like nothing else exists when it's just me and him. He places gentle kisses all over me. I tried to get up.
Me: Baby I need to start dinner.
Liam: And I need you.
Me: You want me.
Liam: No, I need you.
He stands up and offers me his hand. He pulls me behind him up the stairs. I know exactly what he has in mind. I'm not opposed to it. We run upstairs to an afternoon quickie. I'm finally free to make dinner. I made something simple. Just some chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans. I'm getting the wine down when I see Liam poking and tasting everything.
Me: Get out the food.
Liam: But it's so good. Damn, my future wife knows how to cook.
He scooped some mashed potatoes onto the spoon and fed them to me. He goes in for a kiss. He picks me up, lowering me onto the kitchen counter. I know that look in his eyes.
Me: Not happening.
Liam: I'll be quick.
Me; Liam no. Our friends and family have to eat here. Stop being such a pervert. Now get dressed. Everyone will be here soon.
Sticking his tongue out at me, he runs upstairs and gets dressed. After he returns, it's my turn. I threw on a cute pink Sunday dress. I'm coming down the satis just as everyone is walking in. I quickly made my way to Liam and handed him the ring. Everyone will see it if I wear it. I'll slip it back on right before the announcement. I haven't seen Aiden since he was born. He is just the cutest and chunkiest little baby. I love him. Liam is playing with him, making his little smile appear. I handed him back to his dad. Leon pats his back and in about 5 minutes he's asleep. Monica takes him in the other room and we start dinner.
Me: I'm glad you guys could make it on short notice.
Gwen: I hope it's ok I brought Lexis.
Liam: She is definitely welcome.
Lexis: Awww, thanks.
Lilly: So what is this exciting news you wanted to share?
Mr. Elec: I think I know.
Gwen: Me too.
They started laughing and felt the table move. Liam is staring them down. I started laughing too. I nudged him. He looks at me and I signal to give me the ring to slip back on. We hold hands and stand up together. I look at him and he nods at me. Liam wanted to make a toast.
Liam: So first off, I truly appreciate you guys welcoming me and my family into your lives. It means alot to us. Secondly, I would love to thank this lovely woman for being the best thing that has ever happened to me. And lastly,--
Gwen: Boooooo. Get to the good part.
Liam: As I was saying. Lastly, Melanie and I are engaged.
Lilly: AHHHHHH!
Monica: Lilly the baby!
I show everyone the ring, and they all start grabbing my hand and passing it between each other. They are so happy for us. We toast glasses. Everyone makes the congratulatory rounds of hugs and hand shakes. I'm so happy we have family and friends to share this with.
Mr. Elec: I helped him pick out the ring. He was going to get you a gumball.
Me: I wouldn't care as long as it was picked with love.
Lexis: I'm glad she liked the tattoo.
Me: Is that what you guys were discussing the other day before we left the shop?
Gwen: Yeah. We met up that morning to get it done.
We all continued chatting away. I saw Liam and his dad talking. He signals for me to come over and I join them. He gives me a hug. While everyone is enjoying themselves, he pulls us away so we can all talk in private.
Liam: What did you wanna talk about papà?
Mr.Elec: Good news. I booked the perfect venue. It's at the Golden Ice Palace.
Liam: Papà, are you serious?!
Mr.Elec: Yes, so start planning the wedding. It's in a month.
Me: A month?!
Mr.Elec: That or not for another two years. They are booked solid.
I mean we have the best venue is the city. People dream of having their wedding there. But a month? It took Lilly months to plan hers, and I only have a month. It's so sudden.
Liam: Girasole, if you want to wai--
Me: We'll be ready sir.
Liam: Really?!
I shook my head yes. Mr. Elec seems pleased. He gives us the details we need about the venue and who we have to contact. He hands Liam a black credit card. I thought those cards were a myth.
Mr. Elec: Everything is to be bought with this.
Liam: Grazie papà. (Thank you dad.)
Me: Thank you, but I don't even think that expresses how much we appreciate this.
Mr. Elec: Just don't get cold feet and make my boy happy.
Me: I won't and I will.
We say our goodbyes. After his dad leaves to rejoin everyone, Liam locks the door. He takes a deep breath. He looks over at me.
Liam: So we're getting married.
Me: We're getting married!
Liam: Then let's start planning girasole.
I ran out of the den to tell everyone the news. They are all shocked that it's so soon but also so happy at the same time. I don't see the party ending anytime soon, so everyone spends the night. I headed upstairs to our room to take my dress off. Liam came into the room. He sits next to me on the bed and grabs my hand.
Liam: So what's first?
Me: Wedding colors?
Together: Black and red.
Together: Nice.
We both started laughing. I can't believe we have the same colors in mind. Now what's on my mind is my wedding dress.
Me: I'm going to ask Lilly in the morning If she's free to go dress shopping tomorrow.
Liam: Ok. I guess I'll go get a suit made.
He gives me a kiss and leaves for the bathroom. Just as I'm climbing in bed, Liam comes out of the bathroom. He's wearing just a towel. Hair still dripping wet. He leans on the door frame, smiling at me.
Liam: Damn, I did good getting with you.
Me: I see what your trying to do.
He walks closer to me and is now standing in front of me. He drops his towel. Now he was in front of me fully naked. This man does not know what he does to my heart.
Liam: Well, is it working?
Me: Yes.
He climbs on top of me. He starts touching and kissing in all the right places, making me crave more. We have a quickie before we head to the shower, which turns into another quickie, and one more after the shower. Each time him, cumming inside me. We finally call it a night and head to bed. He's already sound asleep. I can't stop staring at him. This is the man I'll be marrying in a month. He is all a girl could ever dream of and then some. What makes it better is he's all mine.
