"Are you still leaving?" Lucas asked after a mont of pause. Sadness shone in his eyes. At that mont he looked like an adorable puppy lting my heart.
"I have important matters to attend to, being the CEO of AA Costics," I replied, my tone apologetic. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. "If only I don't have to attend to my responsibilities then I could just stay. However, I will lose not only millions but the company I worked hard for if I don't take care of it. I have responsibilities that I can't neglect."
He sighed, running a hand through his tousled hair. "I understand," he murmured under his breath, his eyes never leaving mine. "But will you co back?" he asked, hope shining in his eyes. I paused, taking a mont to gather my thoughts.
"I promise I'll be back in a month," I told him, trying to give him so reassurance. "I won't let our ti together end like this."
Lucas cleared his throat. "What if you find soone else while you're away?" he asked, his brows furrowed in concern. I couldn't help but almost laugh at his question, the idea seeming absurd to .
I gently held his face in my hands, smiling softly. "Lucas, you are the only one for ," I spoke with sincerity. "You have stolen my heart in a way no one else ever has. No other man, no matter how good-looking, could ever compare to you."
"Of course I am so handso and wealthy and no man would dare steal you from ." He replied, masking his jealousy with confidence. "Well, I just worry that the distance will be too much for us to handle," he admitted.
I reached out to take his hand in mine, the warmth of his touch grounding in the mont. "I understand your concerns, but I have faith in us," I reassured him. Our love is strong enough to overco any obstacle that cos our way. I promise to stay true to you even when we are miles apart."
"I'll wait for you," he whispered, his breath warm against my skin as his fingers frad my face.
I leaned into his touch, reveling in the feeling of his hands against my face. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too," Lucas replied, his voice full of longing. "But I'll keep myself busy while you're away, focusing on work and staying connected with you through calls and ssages."
We stood there for a mont, lost in our own little bubble of affection and love. The impending distance between us weighed heavily on our hearts, but I knew that our love was strong enough to withstand it.
Lucas and I found ourselves drawn closer together. His eyes locked onto mine, filled with adoration. He leaned in slowly, closing the distance between us. I could feel the heat of his breath against my lips, sending shivers down my spine as our faces were re inches apart.
And then, without a word, our lips t in a gentle, tender kiss. It was soft and sweet, full of love and longing that flowed between us, our souls connecting in the intimacy.
Ti seed to stand still as we continued to kiss. It was a simple yet profound expression of our deep love for each other, a silent promise of the bond that held us together.
—
A month later.
Stepping out of my car, my heart was racing as if I had just finished running a marathon. It had been a month since I last saw Lucas and Niall, and even though we had been in constant communication while I was away, I still missed them. Seeing them in person felt completely different.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation as my sandaled feet traverse the familiar path towards the house. It was as if I had been gone for an eternity. Finally, I was back where I belonged... ho.
I opened the door and stepped inside the grand foyer. Suddenly a frown scrunched my forehead in confusion. There was no one in sight, and the house was eerily quiet. Is there so kind of mistake here? Did Lucas forget I was coming today?
A tinge of disappointnt crept over as I wondered if there was no one in the mansion. Just as I was about to pull out my phone to call Lucas, the lights suddenly flickered on, and from around the corner, a chorus of voices erupted in unison, shouting, "Surprise!"
I stood frozen in shock as my friends, Lucas and his family erged from a door, carrying balloons and wearing big smiles on their faces. The room erupted in cheers and applause as they rushed towards , enveloping in hugs and excitent. Confetti rained down from the ceiling, and a table laden with delicious food and drinks caught my eye.
"Welco ho love." Lucas pulled into his arms with a smile.
I heard the sound of little feet pounding towards . Turning around, I saw my sweet child Niall rushing towards with arms outstretched, a big grin on his face.
"Mommy! Mommy! Welco back!" he exclaid, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist. His embrace was warm and full of love, and I couldn't help but feel tears pricking at the corners of my eyes.
"My sweet boy,..." I whispered, wrapping him in a tight hug.
"Are you leaving again mommy?"
"No, sweetie. I'm here to stay now. I promise to never leave you again," I reassured him, holding him close.
Niall smiled. "Thank you mommy!"
I turned to Lucas, my heart overflowing with gratitude and love. "Thank you for this surprise, Lucas. I can't believe you gathered my friends and even your family here."
He held close, pressing a kiss to my forehead. "I wanted to surprise you and it paid off."
As the party raged on around us, I made my way through the crowd, exchanging pleasantries with the guests. Sam and her husband were also there and we talked for a mont to catch up with our lives.
I spotted Lucas at the corner of my eyes. He stood in the middle of the room, his hands stuffed into his pockets. He looked so dashing even in plain clothes. I excused myself from Sam and Eros before walking towards Lucas. I placed a hand on his arm and pulled him to the direction of the garden. "I have sothing to tell you."
We walked in silence for a mont until we reached the swing where Niall loves to play. I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts before speaking.
Lucas glanced over at , his eyes full of concern. "What is it?" he asked softly, his hand reaching out to grip mine.
"I… I'm pregnant," I finally blurted out
Lucas's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth dropping open in shock. And then, slowly, a wide grin spread across his face as he processed the news. "You're...you're pregnant?" he repeated, his voice filled with wonder and joy.
I nodded, feeling tears of happiness welling up in my eyes. "Yes, we're going to have another child."
He pulled into a tight embrace, his arms wrapping around as he held close. "Oh my god, that's amazing," he whispered, his voice filled with love and excitent.
I buried my face in his chest, feeling overwheld by the sheer happiness and love that radiated from him.
Lucas suddenly pulled away slightly, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "There's sothing I need to tell you too."
I furrowed my brow in confusion, my heart pounding in my chest. What could Lucas possibly have to tell now, at a ti when I was already feeling overwheld with emotions? But before I could voice my thoughts, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box.
My breath caught in my throat as he dropped to one knee, the velvet box gleaming in the soft light of our living room. "I know this might seem like bad timing, but I couldn't wait any longer," he told with a voice filled with emotion. "I love you more than anything in this world, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry ?"
Tears welled up in my eyes as I stared down at him, the man I loved, the father of my unborn child, asking to be his wife. I felt my heart swell with an indescribable sense of joy and gratitude.
"Yes, yes, a thousand tis yes," I managed to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper.
Carefully, he took the ring out of the box and slipped it onto my finger, his touch gentle and reverent. The ring sparkled in the light, catching the shimring tears that fell freely down my cheeks.
"I love you Lucas."
A smile spread across his face, lighting up his features in a way that took my breath away. "I love you too, Bella." He said softly, his voice thick with emotion.
And in that mont, I knew that I had found my ho in his arms. I knew that I had found a love that would last a lifeti.
And so, as the sun set, casting a vibrant hues of pink and orange across the sky, Lucas and I sealed our love with a kiss, knowing that no matter what challenges lay ahead, we would face them together, hand in hand, heart to heart, forever and always.
~The End~
