“Let me see what you wrote.” I grin, staring up at the ceiling.
“You…oh my God.” She goes to roll on top of me, and I grab her, holding her back.
“I don’t want that on me,” I say as she screams and laughs. I stand, bringing her with me.
“Wait, I’ll make you another deal.” Holding her at arm’s length, I laugh at her as she struggles, then stops as she cocks her head.
“Another deal?” She puts her hands on her hips.
“Yep.”
“What? It better be good.” She watches as I walk over to my dresser and open it.
“Oh, this is a good one.” I bring out the box.
“So the deal is...” I kneel on one knee. “You marry me, and I’ll spend every second of every day for the rest of my life making you happy.”
“Oh my God.” She covers her mouth as I open the box with the three-carat diamond that was my grandmother’s winking up at us.
“I love you, Alexandrea. Will you marry me?” My heart pounding, the adrenaline races through me. I hadn’t planned to propose today, but fuck it, it’s never been a better time. She couldn’t be more mine at this moment as I look up at her.
“Yes,” she screams, and I barely get to my feet to catch her as she jumps into my arms, covering my mouth in kisses.
“You’re making me a mess,” I murmur on her lips because I can’t stop smiling. I’ll never stop smiling as long as she laughs.
“Shut up and kiss me, Dean Powers.”
NATALIE & CHARLIE POWERS’S HOUSE
HANCOCK PARK, LOS ANGELES

“Oh my God, it really is gorgeous.” Raven puts her hand on her chest, her eyes filling with tears while looking at me and the ring on my finger.
“I’m so happy for you two.” She throws her arms around me as I laugh, and we sway back and forth.
“You okay?” I pull back to look at her. She looks gorgeous because she’s Raven, but she does have dark circles under her eyes.
“Just…I’m fine.” She smiles as we sit at the large table set up for Sunday morning brunch at Brett’s parents’ house. It’s kind of become something we do if we’re in town. Charlie has March Madness on his big screen outside.
“Did you tell her how I proposed?” Brett smiles as I sit next to him, then freeze because I swear to God.
I smile right back as I look back over at Jett, who casually slings an arm around Raven as he and his dad watch the game on the TV.
“I didn’t because you tell it better. Go ahead.” I raise a challenging brow at him. I know now exactly how he works.
Freaking adrenaline junkie.
“Really? You want me to tell?” His blue eyes sparkle with mischief, and I can’t help myself. I lean over to kiss him. He’s just too delicious.
“I’m positive.” I smirk as we look at each other, then he gives me a quick wink.
Wink.
And there goes my heart. It just aches I love him so much.
“Can one of you spit it out?” Jett interrupts as Natalie walks out with more champagne.
