“I’m sorry about that. I should have called. I just got swept up. What happened to Ryan?” I hate that she sounds so concerned for the man.
“We don’t know. We thought it might be related to you. He went missing after he started looking into your disappearance. The video footage from the club around the time you went missing was also wiped from storage.”
“What did you do?” she asks, after muting the phone call.
“I didn’t fucking do anything. Who is this man to you?”
“He’s a friend.” I force myself to calm the fuck down.
“Nothing more?”
“Of course not. Isn’t my blood still on your cock? There are no other men, Jesus. So fucking jealous.” She huffs out an exasperated breath before unmuting the call. “I didn’t disappear in any kind of way. I cut my leg in the alley before I decided to go for it with Dorian.”
“Are you coming back home?” her mom asks. “No, Mama. My place is with my husband now. You understand don’t you?”
“Of course, Matty. When will we see you again?”
“Um… Can you come in a few days to visit? I want you to meet the rest of Dorian’s family. They are amazing.”
“We can do that. Do you need anything? Money?” her dad asks.
“I do, Daddy. Um… my phone, clothes, and my Kindle off of my nightstand but um… don’t go in the nightstand,” she says biting her bottom lip. That makes me smile. My girl has a sex toy in there.
“We won’t honey, I promise.” her mom says, laughing.
“Why not?” her dad asks.
“Women’s troubles,” Matilde and her mom say at the same time.
“Enough said,” her dad says gruffly. I laugh softly.
“So come on Wednesday? I’ll make dinner for everyone. Bring Theresa too please.”
“Why?” her mom asks.
“I want her to meet someone.”
“Okay. I’ll get her to come. I love you and I’m really fucking glad you’re not dead. Can we reach you on this number?”
“I love you guys too and I’m glad I’m not dead either. You can reach me here, it’s Dorian’s number.”
“Okay. You’re sure you’re okay?”
“I’m fine, Daddy. I promise. I’m happy.”
“Okay, we’ll see you soon.”
“See you soon.”
They end the call, and she hands it back to me.
“Thank you, Dorian. I’m going to bed now.” She’s standing in front of me now.
“I’ll just take a quick shower and join you.”
“Whatever you want.” I pull her into my arms, breathing in her scent. I hug her until she wraps her arms around my waist and hugs me back.
“Thank you for marrying me,” I tell her.
