Chapter 48: Sharing The News
Maddox’s P.O.V.

We were wakened by Jett and Russell as they got home from work, the big shout from Russ was what woke us. They have noticed the ring on Remy’s finger and Russ, the big brother he is questioned us or rather me about it.

“She found the ring, I never thought that she was going to open that drawer, I was planning on proposing this Saturday but this one screwed it up with her different scenarios.” I said as I ruffled her bed head.

“What kind of scenarios went through her mind?” He questioned again, come to think of it Jett is just standing there but it is only Russell that is asking all the questions. I would have thought that because of how close the three of them are acting big brother Jett would have some questions of his own.

“Oh, first she thought I was keeping the ring from a proposal that went wrong with an ex-girlfriend, then she thought that I was going to break up with her because I wanted to propose to another girl, so when she thought that I just had to propose to put her out of her misery.” I explained what went wrong with my proposal than for this Saturday.

“Leave it Remy, I bet when she found out it was her that you were planning to propose to all along she went on a self-sabotage rant!” After he finished saying that Remy through a couch pillow at his head.

“Geez Russ!” She said as she took aim before throwing the pillow across the room at him.

“Well, yeah. If I didn’t stop her, she could have really messed things up.” I say running a hand through my hair remembering the panic that I was in, first the scenarios then the self-sabotage. Why she has to think so badly about herself I am never going to know.

“Hey, why so quite?” Russ asked Jett.

“No, reason. Just was thinking that now that my dream girl is taken I don’t stand a chance now!” He says as he goes to his room, we here a quite slam and then all went quite.

“What was that all about?” I questioned him on Jett’s reply.

“He’s had a crush on this girl for sometime now but on the way home he found out that she just got engaged to her boyfriend, so now he is down in dumps thinking about not having a chance with her.” Russ explained, but I also was able to pick out certain words and the hidden meaning. I looked over to Remy to see if she figured out what Russ was really trying to say, but she doesn’t look like any of that fazed her in the least. Well, I won’t worry about it then.

“Well, I am off to bed, I suggest that the two of you do the same. I wouldn’t want to wake up in the morning to two naked people on the couch!” He says as he starts walking in the direction of his room. This comment also got another pillow thrown at him.

“RUSS, CUT IT OUT!!!” She shouted as she laughed out in joy at the same time.

“He’s right we should get to bed, why don’t you pick up the pillows that you threw at your brother and grab the throw blanket, and I will clean up our dishes.” I suggested to her.

“Ok, I will meet you in the bedroom then.” I nodded to her as I gathered up the plates and glasses from our pre-celebration and started to carry them into the kitchen.

“See you in the bedroom, my future husband!” She said and just as she finished I almost dropped the dishes that I was carrying. “Whoa Mad, you ok?”

“Yeah, just didn’t except you to say that I like it you know, my future wife!” She hid her face in embarrassment as she walked away to our bedroom. Finishing up with the cleanup I head to the bedroom and when I entered the room the happy sight of her put an overjoy smile to my own face. There she is, the love of my life, the girl of my dreams, my future wife, laying in our bed holding out her hand and looking at her engagement ring in complete awe. “You not thinking of punning that are you?” I asked chuckling at her.

“OH, HELL NO, OF COURSE NOT! I just don’t think it really hit me, yet you know. It seems like good things are just not met for me or my brother. But here we are I am engaged to the man I love most in this world, and he has Jess as his girlfriend. I knew he had a thing for her when I first started working at Oasis.”

“You did, did you now?”

“Umm, umm. I sure did.”

“And did you know that you would have ended up with Aston?”

“NO, NO, NO, after what happened at my old job with Harvey I tried to stay clear of him.”

“See how that went?”

“Ok, now you are just making fun of my bad choices in men.”

“Yeah, the bad choices before me.”

“I agree!” She says as we both laugh. Then she wraps her arms around my waist and putting her head on my chest she closes her eyes. I wrapped my arms around her small frame and closed my eyes. I sure can’t wait until everyone at work finds out that Remy Holbeck is going to mine for the rest of my life and I am determined to make her happy. I wake up the next morning still with a smile plastered on my face. I shower and dress in a black tee shirt, black jeans and boots, drying and then combing my  hair I then make my way out the bedroom door without waking her. Entering the kitchen, I was graced with sight that you don’t see every day, Jett is at the stove making breakfast and Russell is brewing a fresh pot of coffee.

“What is going on here?” I asked them as I stand in the doorway.

“I just thought that I would celebrate the happy couple.” Jett says as he turns back to the stove.

“I am sorry man!”

“What?”

“I know.”

‘Russ you told him, wait does she know?”

“No, I fabricated a story, but he was the only one to catch the hidden meaning.” Russ explained.

“Listen Jett, with the three of those losers running a muck by going after Remy, if anything were to happen to me I want you to take care of her, her child, and any children that we may have. I plan on protecting her and taking the proper precautions, but you never know.”

“Hey don’t talk like that man, nothing will happen.”

“Yeah well, a bullet proof vest cover just so much.”

“Oh ok, I will do it, but nothing I going to happen to you.” A few minutes after the conversation ends Remy walks into the kitchen with the pajamas that she wore last night and bed head, scratching at her messed up hair.

“Good Morning!”

“Good morning!” The three of said in unison. (I really need to talk to Aston)

“It’s ready!” Jett yells out pulling me out of my thoughts.
