No sooner had the words left my lips than I noticed JJ sitting on the counter in my kitchen, Ransom standing between her legs, kissing her.
“Jeez, you two, get a room,” I shouted, and they broke the kiss and turned to face us.
“At your own place. Not ours,” Tyson added quickly, and I didn’t miss the way he had called my placeours.
JJ grabbed Ransom’s face and said, “Gladly,” before hopping down.
“No! Don’t leave. You just got here.”
“We’re not leaving, gorgeous. Who else would help your man carry all those boxes?” Ransom asked before walking in my direction and giving me a hug.
I swore Tyson growled under his breath. “Hands off.”
Ransom laughed and hugged me tighter in an effort to torment Tyson and his apparent jealousy. The doorbell rang, and I narrowed my eyes, wondering who it could be, as Ransom still held me tight, refusing to let go.
“Pizza’s here,” JJ said as she jogged over to the door to answer it.
Tyson took a step in our direction, his jaw tight, and Ransom dropped his hands instantly.
“I want it known that I’m only letting go because I need food.”
I stood there, biting back a laugh as the smell of pizza filled the air. My stomach growled.
“Hungry?” Tyson asked against my ear before sucking the lobe into his mouth and nibbling on it.
All thoughts of food flew out the window at that second, and I only wanted him.
“Not anymore.” The words fell breathlessly from my lips.
“Wanna go make that baby?” he asked, his tone dead serious, and I swatted his shoulder.
“No. I mean, not right now. Not yet. Not today.” I stumbled on all my words as my internal freak-out came spilling right out of my mouth.
“Soon though?” he pressed, and I gave him a surprised look.
“You’re joking, right? We’re not even married,” I started to say.
But before I could continue my rant, filled with all the logical reasons as to why we shouldn’t have a baby yet, Tyson was on one knee, holding a massive yellow diamond ring between his fingers.
“Yet. We’re not married yet. But we will be, if you say yes.”
My jaw dropped at the sight, and I forgot that anyone else was in the room with us even though I could make out the faint sounds of cheering and screaming from somewhere around me.
“Say yes to what exactly?”
That million-dollar signature smirk appeared, the one he used to give to only me back in college, and I was getting it to myself all over again. He reached for my hand and held the ring at the tip of my finger.
“Eve, you are the love of my life. You always have been, and you always will be. Say you’ll be my wife and never make me spend another minute without you by my side. Will you marry me?”
He held the ring steady as tears spilled from my eyes.
“Yes. Oh my God, yes!” I said before he pushed the diamond all the way on and stood tall, reaching for me.
I fell into him, my body melting against his as our mouths fused together as one. We lost ourselves in that moment, our tongues touching, our emotions filling the room. When we finally pulled away, he reached for my hand and held it gently in his.
“Do you like it? I can get you something else if you don’t. You always said you wanted a yellow diamond when we were younger, but I’m not sure if you’ve changed your mind since then.”
I shouldn’t have been so surprised that he remembered what I used to say, but I still was. “Like it? It’s stunning. And I don’t want anything else. Ever. This ring is perfection,” I said, staring down at the brilliant yellow stone sparkling in the sunlight against my skin.
