OH MY GOD! Oh holy hells bells! Gunner turned and looked at me.
“What’s wrong sweetheart?”
“Gunner…. when you said you had a plan…. . you…. we’re going to…. . oh my god…” I put my hand up to my mouth again.
Gunner grabbed me and held me close to him. His heart was beating just has fast and hard as mine. No wonder he has been nervous all day.
“Yes baby……I plan on making love to you over and over again tonight. ”
OH. My. God. My knees felt weak. Finally……I jumped into his arms and he held me so softly.
“OH…. oh my god…you couldn’t have made it any more special Gunner! I love you so much!”
“Oh but you are wrong Ellie. I still have your Christmas present to give to you. ” He pulled away and took my hand again. He brought me over to the table.
I could only imagine what he was going to give me. OHH…… maybe something sexy to wear since he told me this morning he couldn’t give me my present in front of everyone! I wanted to jump up and down I was so excited.
Gunner had me sit down in the chair. I noticed there was a bottle of champagne on ice sitting on the table. Oh hell yes! I’m going to celebrate me finally losing my virginity and to the most wonderful man in the world. I smiled as I looked at the champagne and all of the fruit on the table. The roses smelled so good!
I never even noticed Gunner getting down on the floor. I looked back at him and sucked in a breath of air when I saw that he was kneeling down on one knee and he had a jewelry box in his hand. I couldn’t breathe…. oh my……I looked down at the box and then up at his eyes that were filled with so much love.
“Ellie, I had this whole thing planned out to say all of the reasons why I wanted you to be my wife. I’ve been practicing it for a week now. But…all those words…. they cannot even begin to describe to you how much I love you. How much I want to spend the rest of my life with you. To be able to wake up every morning and look at your smile that turns my world upside down. To live on the ranch with you, have children with you…. . to rock on the front porch with you when we’re in our 90’s. I love you Ellie so much and I want to spend the rest of my life loving you sweetheart. Would you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?”
Gunner opened the box and revealed a beautiful vintage style oval blue sapphire engagement ring. The sapphire was framed with an intricate scalloped border and was circled by white diamond begets that continued down part of the white gold band. It was the most beautiful ring I’d ever seen.
I looked up at Gunner and just started to cry. How does this man remember every single thing I tell him? I told him once that I loved blue sapphires.
“YES! YES of course! Nothing would make happier than to become your wife Drew!” I had never seen him smile so big in my life! I slid down onto the floor with him and we slammed our lips together. I had to kiss him with as much passion and love that I possibly could! I needed to show him with this kiss how much he meant to me, how much I loved him.
I had never in my life felt so loved.
CHAPTER FIFTY SIXGunner……
Ellie pulled away from me after I swear was the most powerful kiss of my goddamn life. She was panting hard as she looked at me. I had one more thing to do.
I took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto her left hand. Not that I was happy about it but I was glad she broke her right arm instead of her left. She stared down at the ring for a few minutes before those beautiful blue eyes looked into mine again. I was about to ask if she wanted a glass of champagne when I noticed her eyes look up and over at the massive kind size bed and then back down to me again.
Well well…. my sweet little Ellie was anxious to move to the more entertaining part of the evening.
She looked down at my lips while she started to lick her lips. Then she bit down on her bottom lip.
Holy fucking hell…. . I never wanted her more than I did at this very moment.
“I still have thirty days……”
She let out a laugh and looked back over to the bed. This was it. I was really about to make love to her. My heart was pounding. I felt like it was my first time I was so fucking nervous. I stood up and reached down for her hand. She placed her left hand into mine and I helped her up and started to walk backwards towards the bed. I stopped right at the end of the bed. God she looked so beautiful in the candle light. Colbie Caillat, her favorite singer, was singing in the background. It could not have been more perfect.
“Are you scared Ellie?”
“No. ”
“Are you nervous baby?”
“Yes. ”
“Don’t be nervous Ellie. ”
“What if…. what if I don’t do something right?”
