Chapter 68: Marry Me?

Xhani POV

After spending two days with Armani at my family tree house, we packed our stuff and hit the road. Armani wanted to take me somewhere special, so I let him take me. I set inside the car, and we drove while I sang songs and we laughed.

I realized that I had already fallen in love with Armani, but I just wasn’t ready to admit it yet.

He makes everything easy; he doesn’t have so much awkwardness, nor is he pushy when it comes to physical contact. He does it at my pace and so far he hasn’t tried to take me completely, which I really appreciate. I didn’t realize that I was admiring him, when he suddenly snapped his fingers in front of my eyes, jerking me up from my thoughts.

“Am I that handsome, that you cannot keep your eyes off me”, he said with a smirk.

I was still admiring him, and before I knew what I was doing, three magical words slipped out of my mouth, “I love you”, I said, causing Armani to slam the brakes hard, making me fly. But luckily, I had my seat belt.

Only then did I realize what I just said.

He looked at me in shock, before he crushed his lips on mine. Taking his sweet time, tasting each part of my lips.

Forcing himself to break the kiss, he pulled away, still cupping my face in his palms, he said those words back to me, “I am way more in love with you baby girl”, he said with a smile before taking me again.

Exploring my mouth, I responded with that same level of desire, we were lost in our own world, when suddenly we heard honking from behind us, causing us to part away, I looked back and saw that we had stopped the entire traffic. I laughed and with that, Armani sped off.

After driving for another hour, we finally reached our destination, Armani drove his car through big black metal gates, we drove, and soon we reached a beautiful small castle-type mansion.

I was lost in awe of this house, it was like a house from the Barbie movies., totally unreal.

We came to a stop right at the entrance of the house, and Armani quickly jumped out of the car and came to my side. Opening the door like a true gentleman. I looked at the house and back at Armani,” Whose house is this?”, I asked as I took his hands and stepped out of the car.

“I will tell you in a second, but I need you to close your eyes”, he said as he bought out an eye mask from his jacket and looked at me with a smirk.

I gave him a suspicious look but nodded. He came behind me and gently wrapped my eyes shut, unable to see anything, he took my hands and said, “I will guide you inside, do not be scared, okay?”. And with that, he walked me inside the house.

Going inside, a strong smell of roses hit my nose, making me moan in pleasure, and causing Armani to chuckle.

We continued to walk inside. Not knowing exactly where we were going, I was starting to have these small doubts, but I kept telling myself that he would never do anything to hurt me. We walked to what felt like we were now outside the house again, the cold chilly air caused me to shiver slightly, making him stop and take his jacket off and put it over my shoulders.

We came to a halt and Armani brought his lips next to my ears, “Take your blindfold off in 3”, and with that, he disappeared.

I counted till three and took off my blindfolds, making me shut my eyes from the lights. After a second, I adjusted my eyes and gently opened to, only to fall into another awe, this time, tears filled my eyes.

There was a red carpet, made from roses, and at the end of the carpet, was Armani, kneeling on one knee as he held up a box. Behind him was a big MARRY ME? Statue with fairy lights and roses inside.

Tears build in my eyes, causing me to let a few drops slip. I walked towards where he was kneeling, gently sobbing,

Once I was next to him, he smiled, and said, “Xhani, you make me the luckiest guy in the world, and I know this is a bit too quick and sudden, but I do not want to spend another moment of my life without you, I bought this house, so we could start our own little family, call me old fashion, but I wouldn’t want to do anything with you, until I give you the reassurance of making you my life”, and with that another sob left my mouth.

This is what I always wanted, but he made it come true.

“Will you marry me?”, he asked me as he took out the ring from the box and lifted it in the air for me.

I looked at him with love and passion before I brought my hands to him, and he placed the beautiful diamond ring on my fingers with a kiss followed behind.

“I love you; you just made me the luckiest guy ever by saying Yes”, he said and claimed my lips in his. We kissed for a minute before he pulled away.

“This is your house, a pre-wedding gift”, he said as he turned me around to face the small castle and wrapped his arms around my waist.

“Want to go inside?”, he asked me as he kissed my neck, and I nodded.

We walked through the house, and my god, this house was everything I dreamt of. Every inch of the house was warm and comforting, making me feel at home.

We walked up to the main bedroom meant for me and me, and inside there was a giant dressing table with a box on it.

He picked up the box, and revealed a beautiful matching necklace, “I bought it for you, hoping you would say yes to me”, he said as he placed the necklace around my neck.

“It's beautiful Armani?”, I said as I touched the delicate diamonds.

He kissed the crook of my neck, and said, “Not more than you”.

I blushed and turned around, facing him as I threw myself inside his big muscular arms.

“Thank you for making my dreams come true”, I said as I threw my face deeper inside his chest.
