He strokes my knuckles. “Happy and content. Now, come on, I'm taking you home to celebrate."
He sets the check on the table and stands. Holding my hand, we make our way downstairs, past the lounge and into the street. The valet quickly hands Maverick the keys.
Before we get in the car, I glance at him. "Keys, please."
There's a bemused look on his face as he offers them to me.
I love having surprises for my man. He absolutely hates being surprised in any way, shape, or form, and I can’t resist forcing him out of his comfort zone. I get behind the wheel.
He sits in the passenger side. "Where are we going?"
"You'll see."
He interlocks his fingers through mine as I drive.
I park the car when I reach our destination. He looks out the window and back at me. "Why are we at this bar?"
"You remember this is where you brought me after saving me from that terrible date? You had the initiative to fuck me."
"So, we're role playing it tonight?"
I smile at him. "Every last detail."
We enter the bar and he orders a glass of whiskey. I drink non-alcoholic wine because I'm driving us home tonight.
He smiles as he holds my face in his hands. “I love you so much. I don’t want you to ever change anything.”
“I promise."
“I can't wait to live the rest of this life with you."
I sit back as I sip my wine. “You know, I always imagined that I would find my dream guy and fall in love, and then there would be this big cheesy climax where I get proposed to on a date."
"So, I got it right?"
I giggle. "You got it right."
"I love you." He takes my hands in his. “I won't fuck this up, I promise. I'll never let you down. We'll live happily ever after."
And I believe him, because that’s what I vow to him too.
Epilogue
Maverick
Ayearlater…
I’m so nervous. I have no idea how I’ll survive the next ten minutes. Looking around, I take in all the people that are seated looking at me. Some are smiling, some are talking amongst themselves, but a lot of eyes are on me.
Reaching to my collar, I try to loosen it, but it is no use.
Then the music starts and everything else fades. Except her.
She is a vision as she walks down the aisle.
Today is the day we officially become husband and wife, and I can’t wait. Ever since I proposed a year ago, we have been talking about growing as a family. I think we even talked a bit before then, but that is when we made our decision. Tonight, on our wedding night, I’m going to give it my all. I want a mini her. She is my everything and I dreamed of having kids when I was with Vanessa, but she was never really ready. I’m so glad Noelle wants to have kids just as much as I do.
She has been on the pill since before I met her. She promised a few months ago she’d get off it after the wedding so we could try and we’ve been practicing a lot, but after tonight, we are going to be actively trying.
