“Blade…” I felt my emotional walls start to come crumbling down. I wanted to be strong and to tell him off the same way I had told Jason off, but there was something different about this, something different about him.
“It’s true. I don’t deserve a woman like you, and you probably deserve a hell of a lot better than me.”
He pulled out a small, black velvet box from his back pocket and dropped to one knee. “If it means giving up my contract with the California Lions, then I’ll do it. If it means quitting the football team for my senior year, then I’ll do it.”
I jumped out of the gazebo and rushed to him. I towered above him as he flipped open the box, revealing a huge, sparkling diamond ring that glistened underneath the sun that peeked through the clouds above.
“I’ll give up all of that if you’ll be my wife,” he continued. “I’d rather be known as your husband than The Bedroom King. Will you marry me?”
I said ‘yes’ several times in between uncontrollable sobbing, followed by Blade slipping the stunning ring onto my finger. “We’re really doing this? Are we really going to get married?”
“I was going to propose on New Year’s Eve, but yes, we’re doing this!”
He threw his arms around me and hoisted me up into the air, spinning me in a fast circle. The clouds rolled, overtaking the light of the sun. He pressed his lips against mine as the sky turned dark. A part of me wanted him to carry me back to the gazebo and seal our engagement with a quick fuck, but there’d be a lifetime for that. For now, I was content to stand right there with his arms wrapped tightly around me.
I hoped that there would be no more questions, no more mistrust. I hoped that we could finally leave the past in the past and learn to trust each other, to understand that we had both done things in our pasts, but those days were over.
Blade picked me up and carried me back into the empty sorority house, kicking the door open with his foot. “Wow, looks like we have the whole house to ourselves tonight. What shall we do?”
I answered him with a kiss, followed by running my hand down the front of his pants.
“Sounds good to me,” he said before pulling away.
Blade and I made love in every room that night, regaining his status as The Bedroom King…
At least in my book.
