She sighed. “What response?” she sarcastically asked.
“Jasmine, I know you’re upset and I can’t even blame you. I should have told you exactly what I wanted to tell you. I wanted to be with you last night for so long, but it really happened at the perfect time.”
“It did?” she asked. “Why do you say that?”
Her eyes softened as I ran a finger under her chin and lifted her gaze up to mine.
“It happened after I had already fallen in love with you. You aren’t alone here. I love you, too.”
She nearly melted against me.
“You do?” she asked.
I smiled and nodded, then leaned closer to her. Right before I touched her lips with mine, I whispered, “You have no idea how much!”
We then kissed and I wrapped my arms around her and held her closer to me. I would spend the rest of my life proving those words to her, no matter how long it took.
Epilogue
Jasmine
Six Months Later
The next several months, I couldn’t have been happier. Both Trevor and my life was shaping up
quite nicely. After Trevor went to Roger and told him how impressed he was with my work, Roger was quick to give me a promotion. I would now have as many clients as the next person within the company, but I had to admit that not all clients were as amazing as Trevor was.
Mercury Wild’s business couldn’t be much better than it was, with business increasing every week after we had the event. Trevor was able to pay all the bills and have a nice sum of money left in a savings, in case something like that ever happened again. His employees were also very happy, because they all got a nice raise. Plus, Trevor did hire a bookkeeper to keep track of his financing. To date, he was happy with that decision
Our relationship, could also not have gone any better. Every day Trevor and I spent together, we grew more and more in love. Plus, we started learning everything about each other, which made me more intrigued by the man in my life.
I was happy when he took some time off work and we were able to go out and do some adventurous things. Hopefully one day, we’ll backpack around Europe. The possibilities are endless.
One day after leaving work, I received a note to come to the club. It was like my home away from home, so I really didn’t think much of it, but as I got inside the club this time, it was different.
Soft music was playing and the only one in the bar was Trevor. He walked towards me and we met each other in the middle. “What’s going on?” I asked, smiling as he wrapped his arms around me. We kissed and I could still feel my heart pounding as loudly as it did when we first got together. The love I held for Trevor Wild was by far the most any one person could love.
“You know how much I love you, right?” he asked, parting from the kiss.
I tilted my head and nodded. “As much as I love you.”
He beamed. “You are right. Our love is and always will be amazing. So, when I think about you and me…I think about our life together and how I can’t stand the thought of ever losing you.”
“You never will!” I whispered.
He swallowed. His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times, before he looked deep into my eyes. “You are an amazing woman Jasmine Washington.”
I opened my mouth to spew out how amazing he was, when I saw him pull a box out of his breast pocket of his jacket. My eyes widened as I stared at him and he got down on one knee. “Oh my goodness,” I breathlessly replied.
“Jasmine, will you do me the honors of being my wife?”
I covered my mouth, staring at the gorgeous diamond he revealed in the box. Tears sprung to my eyes and I could barely breathe, but every bit of my heart leaped out the answer. I nodded. “Yes, I’ll marry you!” I started to shake as he put the ring on my finger, then stood up and picked me up in his arms. We kissed and then I heard applause as the staff came out from behind their hiding places and cheered us on.
I would soon be Jasmine Wild and our lives would only be filled with more bliss than ever before. I couldn’t wait for that to begin.
