LOVING THE REJECTED BILLIONAIRE

Hu! Deep sigh! Done, and done! I go through the page on my laptop once again, to substantiate that I have double-checked everything. Phew! Everything is now settled.

I breath out a heavy sigh of relief once more, feeling so reinvigorated after a week of running up and down making sure that everything was going as planned. Kudos, to the wedding planners! They met the deadline quite on time, otherwise, I would be here yelling all sorts of curses at them right now. Lol!

The day after tomorrow, I will be walking down the aisle. I will be marrying the love of my life. I have anticipated this for so long since Andy brought about the idea of the wedding, and up until now, it still feels like a dream. I can only fathom how blissful and colourful the day will be, and pray for everything to turn out just fine. That fear though! Rita calls it a wedding fever. How long does it last again? I should have asked madam know -it – all! Eyes roll!

I grab my phone and saunter out of Andy’s study/office. I descend the stairs slowly until I get to the sitting room where I notice him lying on the couch, scrolling through his phone. I take a good look at the man I am going to marry.

He is a gift in my life, a special gift that I wouldn’t trade for anything. He and Angel are a part of me now, an integral part that I can’t live without. The cute angel must be in her room playing with her toys. She is over the moon about the wedding, just like my whole family is. The idea of having a complete family has made her so excited. As early as now, I pray to the stars in the horizon, and to the heavens, to grant me the wish of keeping this beautiful family happy and united. For better or worse, I will always, always, and forever stick with them.

It’s almost five o’clock, the sun is setting. I should start preparing dinner, but before I do that, how about a little chat with my sweet pie?

“Hi, love!” I greet Andy and kiss him as I seat beside him on the couch, his arm going around my shoulders.

“Hi, babe! Everything okay?” He asks, setting his phone aside to give me his full attention like he always does, something I love about him.

“Yes. Everything is just perfect. We are now waiting for the day.” I say.

“That’s nice. I talked to the priest and everything is perfect at the church.” Oh, yes. We chose a church wedding. It’s what both of us wanted. “Are you excited, love? I am going to be your husband in less than 48hours.”That makes it sound like the next hour, but I wouldn’t mind even if it was moved to the next second. I can’t wait to be Mrs Ashton. His wife. It feels surreal. So sweet.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“I am more than thrilled. I’m extremely happy, and I can’t wait to be Mrs Aston.””Mmh! That sounds so perfect. Mrs, Ashton! I want you to know that I love you so much, okay? To the moon and back, honey. And I promise you, love, that I will do my best to keep you happy and safe. You are my joy.”I snuggle up to him, embracing him for a hug. Sometimes I think we are too mature for this but then I just can’t help it. Feeling like a teenager especially when I am in his arms like this.

“I love you too, honey. And I promise to love you forever.” I say and pull away from the hug. I look into his dark brown orbs, the love displayed in them making them have this soft look that can melt ice in a second. “Until death do us part.” I whisper, and his hand moves to my face, caressing my cheek in a soothing motion.

“No, hun. Until eternity.” That made me tear up. Just a little.

“Until eternity, love.” We seal our promises with a solid kiss, a kiss that adds more power to the promises, emphasising the truth in them.

If the afterlife is real, if eternal isn’t just a fantasy or a fairy tale, I want Andy to be with me even then. I want us to be like this forever. In love with each other, and above all, passionate towards each other.

Ever been to a point where nothing else matters other than the only one important thing in your life? That point where even the world means nothing. Have you ever loved someone so much that you want to live every single second of your life with them? That time when you wish for the sun to stand still so that you can live in the present moment? That moment when you feel like the stars are aligning in the blue clouds to right your moment? That moment when you feel like the moon is shining above you, exposing you in the light for the world to witness how lucky you are? That time when you feel like the world is revolving around you, like you have the world and its entirety in your hand. That’s what I feel, and Andy is that valuable thing that is constant in my situation. I can’t lose him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” He asks.

“I don’t want to lose you, Andy. I will die if I do.” I say, a drop of tear escaping from my eye.

“You are never going to lose me, Ania. We are never going to lose each other, okay?” I nod my head, and he dries the tears from my eyes. “I will always be here, beside you, until forever.” That was enough assurance to make me smile.

“Until forever. ” I repeat, and we hug for a minute. When we pull away, all I can think of is our life after the wedding. I am going to make every single second of our lives count. “You still don’t want to tell me where we are going for our honeymoon?” I ask because he is adamant about keeping it a secret from me. I know he wants to surprise me but come on, I am dying to have even a clue. “Please?” I plead when he shook his head.

“Naah. All I can tell you is that it’s a beautiful place. You will love it. We can even make our first baby there.””Hey, chill now, Ashton. Don’t scare me now.” I laughed.

“What? Don’t you want a mini Andy or a mini Ania?” He asks, and well, that idea of having a baby is quite exciting but…

“I do. But, seriously. Do you want that right now?””I think it’s high time angel got a playmate. I want kids, but it doesn’t have to be immediately. When you are ready. We have all the time in the world to make babies and be happy.”I nod my head.

“Whenever the baby comes, I will be ready.” I say with a smile.

“You mean, like even now? This minute? I’m so hungry, you know? This tool of mine misses you a lot” Damn! I get what he means, but too bad, the agreement still stands.

“Then I’ll go to the kitchen and make you some food. This other dish, you’ll have it on the night of our wedding. Let’s see if you will be so hungry to plant a seed here.” I playfully place his hand on my belly, and he smiles.

“Then please go before I forget we have an agreement and lay you on the carpet.”Awe! I smirk at him and stand up.

Poor thing! Am I being too hard on him? But hey, I am dying too!
