(Karsten)
Grandma had held back when Arata had gone into the garden outside.
Extracting the small velvet box from under her blanket she extended it towards .
"Here, it’s my engagent ring. It’s ti to propose to her," she had calmly said with a wink.
I had been aning to do that but I didn’t know when the right mont would be. Grandma had always told she would give her ring when I found a girl ready to get married. But I had always shrugged it off.
Today, those words have beco a reality. I held the ring in my hands and a smile automatically descended on my lips.
My gaze found Ma and Grandma and both of them gave an affirmative nod.
I knew—that mont was near.
Confidently walking out, I found her exactly in that spot where I had kissed her as Karsten for the first ti.
With her eyes closed she was taking in the scent of the roses.
My soul scread from the surety that this was the mont I had been waiting for.
So I just went out there and said what was in my heart.
Arata was overjoyed, I could tell from how redness made her cheeks stand out, how her eyes watered and that beautiful smile of hers etched on her velvety lips.
The bliss, the joy I had never even imagined I would feel by proposing now settled in my gut.
From a guy who didn’t even believe in love to soone madly in love and now about to get married.
She nestled in my arms and we discussed our wedding plans.
Picking up a blue rose from the vine, I ensured to remove all thorns before adjusting it behind her ear. She was still wearing her cap.
She bead at and said, "I wish it were in my hair."
I rubbed her cheek and answered, "Once they grow back, I will place a rose in your hair daily." I winked. "For the rest of our entire lives."
Arata hugged tightly at these words. "That’s exactly why I love you. Co, let’s give the good news to Grandma and your Ma." Taking my hand in her soft one she began to guide inside.
Grandma and Ma were still seated in the living room, talking. Seeing us return with broad smiles, their attention was diverted to us.
"We are engaged, about to get married in March." Arata let go of and excitedly waved the back of her hand towards them.
Their faces split in affectionate grins as Ma stood from the sofa and rushed to hug Arata.
"Congratulations!!! What auspicious news."
Grandma, on the other hand, kept her attention towards and winked. I silently nodded, with my hands behind my back, trying to contain a smile which wouldn’t remain concealed anymore.
Arata rushed to Grandma and tightly hugged her. "Thank you for the ring, I absolutely love it."
"You are welco, dearest. It was ant to be for you." She patted Arata’s happy face.
Ma ca up to and gave a hug. I had my arms around her as she emotionally whispered. Her lips quivered as she tried not to cry.
"Today, you have made proud, Karsten. I am giddy with happiness."
She had believed I was going to die alone and loveless. That had always been her greatest fear and I could sense how relieved she was now that I had Arata in my life.
"I know, Ma. I know."
We celebrated for a while, and then Arata retired to her room to share the good news with her family.
Ma and Grandma took out a big diary and began to pen down a list of the guests they were going to invite.
While I took out my phone and the special app I used to create dresses. I needed to create a masterpiece for her. She had requested red and that’s what I was going to create for her with improvisations.
I was going to add the touch of the Phoenix to it because that’s what she was to .
Ma called Roshra and Rahsir in a group call and shared the news with them. I could hear Roshra screaming while Rahsir spoke in his contained voice.
She tilted the phone towards and I waved at them. Their beaming faces and loud congratulations told they were extrely happy for too.
"You are going to be my best man," I told Rahsir and he placed his hand on his heart and nodded.
"Will be honoured."
"And I am going to be one of the bridesmaids. I will beg Arata if I have to. I don’t care," Roshra spoke, exhilaration bubbling from every word. She made us roar with laughter.
"I am sure, she will find you a tiny spot." I brought my pointer finger and thumb together to show what I ant.
"Haha! Joke all you want. My future sister-in-law loves and I will prove it." She clicked her tongue at us.
"Of course!" We teased and spoke on the video call for a while before I returned to my room.
Knocking on the door I waited for Arata to answer before entering.
"Co in," her naughty voice ca and I knew she was up to sothing. Turning the knob, I entered my room and stopped dead in my tracks.
Arata was lying comfortably in our bed, only wearing the lingerie I had gifted her on Valentine’s Day and red heels.
My eyes almost shot out of my sockets as I quickly closed the door and just stood there, my eyes slowly watching her beautiful figure.
"Phoenix, such a naughty naughty Phoenix."
Her nipples peeked out from the net bralette, saying, ’hi’ to .
She winked and deliberately opened her legs. The flimsy red thong barely hid anything as she invited over with the flick of her fingers.
"Co over fiancé. Don’t be shy now. I am the gift today." I shook my head at her naughtiness and took off my shoes and pants before climbing on top of her.
She giggled as I lightly tickled the sides of her stomach and placed a kiss on her belly.
"So did you get to speak with everyone? Are they happy on the news?" I knew her father must have reservations but others would be rejoiced.
She threaded her hands into my hair and placed my head on her belly.
"More than happy. They were thrilled. And now I can’t wait. I have so much planning to do."
"Well, I think Roshra might be blowing up your phone soon. So talk to her and include her in your plans if possible," I answered trailing kisses on her soft skin and admiring how the lingerie fit her beautiful body.
"Absolutely. I am calling the girls over soon." She then lifted her head and watched with a hungered gaze.
"You, my handso fiancé, need to show how much you love in this two-piece you bought ." She pointed to herself and I effortlessly slid down and settled between her legs, opening them further and clutching her thighs.
Our gazes collided like a supernova and I whispered, "It will be my pleasure, future wife. Brace yourself."
Then my lips found her hungry core and I began to ravish her with my mouth and tongue.
