I glance over at the table and see the dude’s hand on Harper’s shoulder. I shake my head. “Nah, I’m good.”
“You’re better with Harper. I haven’t seen you this happy since you lost your mother. It breaks my heart to see you hurting like this. So, don’t be a chicken shit.”
“A what?” I laugh despite my heart crumbling. “A chicken shit. Really, Glenda?”
“I have to get your attention. Go.” She pushes me in the direction of the table.
I take a deep breath. This is for the best. If she plans to leave me and move on, at least I’d know the truth, I tell myself, but it makes the ache worse. Harper does make me better. My gut was absolutely right about her, about us. And now she’s about to ruin it.
I stand behind her and hear, “Mom, Dad, I’m engaged.”
I step forward, and the coward has sense enough to remove his arm from behind my woman. Harper stands and grabs my hand.
“Liam and I are engaged,” she says smiling. I search her eyes, this is the feisty Harper I know and love.
“Liam, care to explain?" James asks.
“Harper and I met, and we’ve been seeing each other for six months.”
“Six months!” the three sing.
“Yes, Mom and Dad,” she rolls her eyes at the loser, “six months. I didn’t tell you, but life finally gave me what I needed and wanted.” I see the love in her eyes. I squeeze her hand in support. “I was scared to tell you after having so many duds.” She turned to the jerk still lingering. “You can leave now.”
We sit at the table together then I remember Glenda. I wave her over.
Harper continues, “We plan to get married in Vegas. Want to join us?”
My breath catches, and I grab her face kissing her senseless. I hear the collective gasp, but I tongue my woman down.
“I’m sorry, Liam. Can you please gas up the plane? I have a man to marry.”
Glenda is crying, her parents are in shock, and my woman looks happy. “Are you sure?”
“You said it’s you and me, right? Well, I’m ready for you and me to become us. Are you coming, Mom and Dad?”
Epilogue
Liam
“Admit it, I’m right," I demand laying butt naked with my wife flying over the Atlantic. We sent her parents and her guys home to Austin and Glenda to Nashville.
“I will not. Your head will swell to the size of a watermelon. And I happen to like your head the way it is.” She winks.
We’re en route to Paris for our honeymoon.
“Fine don’t admit that I was right about us getting married. But you can admit I was right about you working for WEJ.”
“I’ll give you that.” She crawls on top of me. I run my hands over the swell of her hips cupping her ass. “That’s only because you’ve agreed to share me with Platinum Prestige. But now it’s time for you to pay up.”
“Have I told you how much I love your ass?”
“Yes,” she kisses my chest, “you have, but I’ll never tire of hearing it.”
I slide inside Harper. My world is complete with her in it. She’s bucking with each stroke, a sight I’ll never tire of.
“You owe me three wishes.”
“Name ’em.”
