"Oh, my God! Really?" She squeals so loud I extend my arm to hold the phone away.
"Ugh, you two are going to have the cutest babies! I am so happy for you, Serena. I am glad John finally accepted you guys being together." Cassie's eyes twinkle with happiness.
"I told you everything was going to be fine."
"Yeah, you did. You’ve been nothing short of amazing." I tell her.
The door creaks open, and Michael enters the room with a bouquet of roses. His presence shifts my attention away from Cassie, and I can't suppress the wide grin on my face. He is in much better shape than he was when I first woke up.
He smiles back at me, then turns to Cassie. "Hey, Cassie." Michael greets her.
"Hey, Michael. I should have known you were the reason why she zoned out on me." Cassie huffs, moving away from the bed so Michael can sit beside me.
"Hey, baby." He says softly, looking into my eyes. The bouquet in his hands drops with a soft thud when I cup his face to lock our lips in a kiss.
"You kept me waiting," I mumble, brushing my palm against his cheek.
"I am sorry. I wanted to pick this up for you." He motions at the bouquet, picks it up, and hands it to me. I brought the red roses to my nose to enjoy the wonderful smell.
"You are so sweet. Thank you, baby." I give him a quick kiss.
"I am still here!" Cassie announces her presence, and Michael and I chuckle.
He looks at me like I am the most precious thing in the whole world, and I love it.
Chapter 24
Say Yes
Serena
"So, has he told you where he is taking you?"
Cassie's question causes me to settle for the black thong I was thinking about wearing earlier. I snap the drawer shut and turn to her, sparing her a smile on the screen where her face is displayed.
She's grinning from ear to ear like a child who's offered her favorite candy. Her eyes sparkle with so much delight.
"No, he hasn't told me where he is taking me, but does it matter?" I question her, slipping on the thong.
"Honey, it does!" She sounds so dramatic.
"Cassie," I halt and turn to her. She's already arching a brow at me.
"Listen, I don't care where he is taking me; all that matters is he's taking me on a date, and we don’t have to hide from John anymore," I explain, and she responds with an eye roll.
"I know. I know." She agrees.
"But come on. Aren't you curious where Michael is taking you out?" She demands, winking at me.
"I am not. It might be the hotel where we had our first date. The rooftop thingy," I reply to Cassie, shrugging my shoulders with a smile.
"Oh, please!" She discards my words.
"We both know your man," She sends me a teasing look. I can't help blushing when she calls him ‘my man.' It feels so surreal.
"He loves luxury!" She emphasizes the word luxury.
"He is not a man of subtlety. He is in the hospitality business and works every day to give his customers unforgettable experiences." She groans. "So please, stop acting like you don't know how far he will go for you to have an unforgettable experience. That man loves you too much not to go all out for you." She smirks at me, and I facepalm.
