For someone who once claimed I’d never go back to the United States, I adapted quickly to life here. I’ll miss it when we leave in a month, but am looking forward to our new life in London.
I’m established enough in my role that I can work from anywhere and Bellamy wanted to be closer to Nera, Six and Thayer. I was equally excited to be back with Rhys and Phoenix so the decision was an easy one.
We’ve found a beautiful townhouse in Notting Hill that we’ll be moving in soon. Anotherhouse was vacant just a few streets down from us so we bought it for Trish.
There was no question of leaving her behind for Bellamy. Or me. She’s become a mother figure to me in the last few years and has been one of the many joys of my relationship with Bellamy.
I’m still in love with her as much, if not more, as the day I told her. She’s shown me how to feel, how to laugh and love and just… be happy. All things that come so easily to her but are things that needed to be learned by me.
She’s been endlessly patient with me. She’s my best friend, my lover, my confidante all wrapped in one and I can’t wait another second to make her mine forever.
I turn the key in the lock to our Lakeview home and walk in.
She comes flying into the foyer. “Babe! Where have you been? We’re going to be late.”
She heads into the kitchen to grab her things and I follow closely on her heels.
“I was running an errand, sorry.”
She looks over her shoulder at me as she puts on a gold hoop. “What kind of errand couldn’t wait until tomorrow?” She asks, turning back towards the counter to grab her other earring.
“This one.”
She turns towards me, her brow raised questioningly and gasps loudly when she sees me on one knee holding a jewelry box open.
“I would have done this three years ago if I thought you’d have let me, but I can’t wait any longer, baby. I love you so much. That’s the honest truth of it. I can’t think when you’re near me and I can’t breathe when you’re far from me and that’s exactly what I want to feel every day for the rest of my life, with you by my side. Please make me the happiest man in theworld and say you’ll marry me. And if you say no, just know that I’ll ask you every day until you change your mind.”
She brings her hand up to her mouth, tears shining in her eyes. “Yes. Of course, yes. A million times yes.”
I grab her and twirl her around, overjoyed. She laughs as I scream in victory.
I kiss her deeply, my hand in her hair pressing her lips to mine, before pulling away from her.
“You were wrong.”
“About what?”
I pull her top lips between mine, sucking it into my mouth in a dirty kiss.
“Our story does end with a happy ending.”
