Chapter 117 Special place

"Penny for your thoughts," Fabian whispers in Amara's ear as he came to a stop in the driveway and switches off the engine. "Um- what?" She asks sounding a little dazed. "What is going on in that pretty little head of yours?" He asks caressing her cheek. "You've been very quiet since we left the apartment."

"I was just thinking." She sighs stepping from the vehicle. "Do you mind if we sit by the pool for a while?" She asks softly. "Sure if that's what you want but it had rained earlier so we shouldn't stay long." He said sitting down and then pulling her down in his lap.

"So, what were you thinking about?" He asks massaging her fingers as two of the six beasts of a dog they had come and sat at his feet. "Well, this apartment is what our fourth we have bought since we met and we keep it even though we couldn't move into it because of my parents." She sighs again.

"Point is, it's our special place, where we can go to be alone and relax." She pause and he sat in silence waiting for her to continue. "Don't take this the wrong way baby but I don't want to do this anymore." She said in a nervous tone. "Do what?" He asks confused.

"These days we only go to our apartment to have sex and it's beginning to feel more like a motel than our special place. I don't like the way that makes me feel and I want to change it." "How? You know we can't make love here." He states. "I know, trust me I know, your parents are watching us like a hawk and I don't blame them, what they're saying is true. Sex out of marriage is wrong and your mom worries about you all so much that I would never ask you to move away from her…" She said pausing again.

"What are you trying to say, angel?" "Eight months ago you ask me a question but because of my parents I couldn't give you the answer you needed but I would be very happy if you would ask me that question again." She said in a hopeful tone.

"What? Now?" He asks stunned. "Yes, now." She giggles. "Are you sure?" He asks. "A hundred and fifty percent yes." "My parents really put the fear of God into you, didn't they?" He laughs. "Yes, yes they did but I can also think of a hundred different reasons why I want to do this but if you've changed your mind then…." "Not in this lifetime. I wanted it then and I want it even more now." He said hugging her close to him. "Then what are you waiting for? Get to it." She urges.

"He got up, put her to sit, and kneel down in front of her. "Amara Zekelia Edwards would you do me the honor of…." "Yes, yes, and yes." She squeals cutting his question short. "It would be my greatest honor to become your wife." She laughs jumping on him. "I hope you don't mind but you'll have to wait until we get to my room before I can put your ring on your finger." He chuckles. "Well I've waited this long a few more minutes won't hurt." She whispers dragging him to her and kissing him passionately.
