Epilogue
"Is this necessary?" I whined as Ashley kept pulling my hair, trying to style it. She kept nagging me to go clubbing with her and I was not interested at all. I was worried about my baby. Even though Liam and Anna were babysitting him and Jane, I wasn't convinced. He was just two months old and I was worried sick already.
"Of course it is, we need a break from all this stress and responsibilities," she reasoned and continued to work on my hair.
"But Ethan?" I started and she interrupted me.
"For the millionth time, Ethan will be fine, Emma." She rolled her eyes and I pouted, "I'm leaving Jane with them too, we can worry together later," she joked and I shook my head with a small smile, knowing how stubborn she could be.
"Alright, I hope Austin comes home soon. He said he will be working late today. Of all days, today," I huffed in annoyance, adjusting my makeup. Even though I was excited to go out and have fun with Ash, there was a tiny bit of worry, deep down.
"Alright, I'm done." She announced, placing the curling iron on the dressing table. I took a look at myself in the mirror. My hair was styled in loose curls and I was wearing a black dress that had a see-through neckline, showing a hint of cleavage. It stopped mid-thighs and I paired it up with some nude pumps. I couldn't help but wonder Austin's reaction if he sees me in this dress. It had been a long time since I dressed up well and I felt pretty good.
"Shall we?" Ashley asked, walked towards the door and I quickly grabbed my phone.
"Yeah, let's go." We both walked downstairs to see Liam and Anna, playing with Jane.
"Guys, Ethan is asleep now but he will be awake in an hour. I have the bottles in the freezer so warm it up a bit---,"
"Relax, Emma. This is like the hundredth time you are mentioning it. We know the drill," he came over to hug me and placed a small kiss on my forehead.
"Okay, call me if anything is wrong," I said, with a worried look on my face.
"Sure, have fun. You look gorgeous by the way. You too Ash," Liam winked at her and I saw Anna, roll her eyes behind him. We both laughed and made our way towards the door.
Soon, we reached a familiar club. I turned my head towards her with a frown on my face. We were at 'Boats' but I thought we were going somewhere far than this. Not that I was complaining, I was glad we were closer to our kids.
"I thought we would be going somewhere else," I said, unbuckling my seatbelt.
"I missed this place. Come on, it will be like good old times," she grinned, pulling me by my hand. Something was unusual. She was being over-enthusiastic and it wasn't like her at all.
"You seem different, is everything alright?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her and her eyes went wide.
"What? No, I'm just happy to spend time with my best friend," she giggled, nervously as we made our way inside.
"Yeah, sure." I scoffed and followed her closely behind. I noticed that it wasn't crowded that much considering that it was a Friday night.
"Damn, it looks deserted for a Friday night. What happened to everyone?" I asked as we sat down on the stool.
"Who knows, it feels nice though right, without having to push through all those sweaty bodies," she spoke and ordered us some vodka shots, turning towards me.
"So, I heard Austin asked Jake to become his partner?" I asked her and her face lit up with excitement.
"Oh my god, yes. Jake is so excited about it and I think it's going to be perfect. He was upset for a long time about losing his investors because of Dan." She sighed, gulping down her shot.
"I know, it feels like it all happened just yesterday. Look at me, I am a mother now, who would have thought," I smiled, thinking about Austin and Ethan fondly.
"I always knew you and Austin would end up together," she winked, smiling at me.
"I think it was meant to be, Ash. I've never been this happy," I said in a dreamy voice, making her chuckle.
"I feel you, girl." She replied and just when I was about to take another shot, I felt a hand on my wrist, stopping me.
"You might want to take it slow," I turned around at the sound of the familiar voice.
"Jake? What... What are you doing here?" I looked at him in shock and turned to look at Ash, who had a small smile on her face.
Okay, what the hell was going on?
"Ladies and gentlemen, this one is for the love of my life." I heard the sound of a deep voice from the speakers. The voice that could make me go weak in my legs, the voice that could make me wet and seduce the crap out of me, the voice that could calm me in an instant.
Austin frigging Williams.
What the hell was he doing here? He was supposed to be at work. I looked at him with wide eyes as he was standing in the middle of the dance floor with a guitar and mic in front of him. He was trying to adjust the guitar and I trailed my eyes all over his body. He was wearing a navy blue button-down shirt, with his sleeves rolled up, showing off his sexy forearms and a dark stone jeans. He looked so fucking hot and young, his hair was all disheveled and my hands itched to run through it.
I blinked, coming out of my trance and looked at Ashley, who had a knowing look on her face. Oh my god, something was going to happen now. I swallowed hard and got up from the stool, noticing everyone's focus on my man. I wanted to murder these women who were giving him lusty stares. Just like that, he started to sing, drowning out the crowd. All I could focus on was his deep sexy voice.
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
How many times do I have to tell you?
Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you
My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
Give me all of you, oh
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
He finished with a final strum of his guitar and I was a crying mess. Each and every word of that song, pierced through my heart, making it somersault with love and happiness. He finally looked up and our eyes met. I felt the world stop beneath me as I made my way towards him, with wobbly feet.
Oh god, I should stop crying.
I finally stood in front of him and he removed his guitar from his shoulder, placing it on the floor. He wiped my tears, flashing his million-dollar smile.
"Hey," he whispered, making me chuckle.
"What was that all about?" I asked, blushing like an idiot.
"Did you like it?" he asked as his gaze bore into my eyes.
"I loved it, Austin. It was so fucking beautiful," I tried to wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him but he stopped me, making me frown.
"Wait a sec," he went a few steps back and got down on his knees.
Holy fuck!
I could hear my heart beating fastly in my ears. It was actually happening. I've been waiting so long for this moment. He pulled out a ring from his pocket and I sucked in a huge breath.
"This is where I first saw you and it's only fair that I propose you here, sweetheart. I don't believe in love at first sight but I guess I fell for you the second I laid my eyes on you and my stubborn ass just couldn't accept it," he spoke, nervously, making me laugh and cry at the same time. I could see beads of sweat on his forehead.
"I love you so fucking much, baby" his voice broke a bit as he looked into my eyes and he paused for a long time, like he was lost for words, "Errr...Fuck... Please marry me and put me out of my misery, sweetheart," he laughed and I nodded. He was so fucking cute, adorning a clueless look on his face.
"Yes, yes, a thousand times yes," I shouted, hearing cheers and whistles all around us. He slid the ring on my finger and stood up immediately pulling me and smashing his lips to mine. I melted against his arms and kissed him back, showing all my love in that kiss as he lifted and twirled me around. Man, this club was officially my favorite. This was where everything started, from our first meet to our first kiss and now he freaking proposed me here. This couldn't have been more perfect.
God, I loved this man so fucking much.
We both pulled back out of breath and people started to join us on the dance floor.
"Congratulations, both of you." I heard Ashley's voice behind me and she came over to hug us.
"Congrats, man." Jake pulled him for a man hug, grinning widely.
"Now I get why you were all hyped up, I did not see it coming," I spoke, hitting Ashley softly on her arm.
"Trust me, It was so hard for me to not tell you. I was so damn excited," she beamed, squeezing my hands.
"This was one hell of a surprise," I admitted, turning my attention to Austin, who was gazing at me adoringly.
"We will leave you two love birds now. Don't worry about Ethan, we are going back to the house to look after him. So enjoy your night," Ashley winked at both of us and pulled Jake's hand, leaving us all alone. I wrapped my arms around my fiancé.
Wow, fiancé.
"You sneaky little bastard, You had this whole thing planned, didn't you?" I asked and he nodded, letting out a small chuckle.
"Fuck, I prepared this whole speech, baby. I got so nervous and zoned out when I saw you, standing in front of me, all pretty. I hope it was a decent proposal," he had a concerned look on his face.
"Are you kidding? It was the best proposal ever, Austin. You took my breath away, with my favorite song and you being.....just you. You make me fall for you every frickin day," I stated, honestly as we swayed to the music.
"Oh yeah, there are other ways I could take your breath away, Mrs.Williams." He traced my lips with the pad of his thumb, making my skin burn with need.
"Mrs.Williams? Already?" I teased as his grip tightened around my waist.
"Emma, I got this ring even before Ethan was born," he said casually, making my jaw drop to the floor, "I can't wait to marry you. Heck, I wouldn't mind eloping and marrying you even now but I know all about your dream wedding. I would never take that away from you." He said in a sincere tone, making my heart flutter. He knew me so well and I blinked, trying to process everything.
"Fuck, you are so perfect. I love you so much," I said with tears in my eyes and traced his jawline, loving the feel of his stubble against my fingers.
"I know, sweetheart. Now, enough with the lovey-dovey stuff," he pushed me against the nearest wall, making me gasp at his sudden action, and waves of pleasure flowed through my body.
"Damn, déjà vu much," I whispered as he trailed his hands through my neck, down to my chest.
"Very much, you look so fucking beautiful in this dress," he said in a husky voice, making me wet in an instant. He buried his head between the crook of my neck, placing wet kisses on my sensitive spot and I ran my hands through his messy locks, letting out a soft moan, inhaling his woody scent which was driving me crazy with desire.
I knew life wasn't perfect and there was always a day after the happiest of days too but with Austin and our son right next to me, I knew for sure that I could get through anything. I was never letting go of that jerk.
My jerk.
"I'm going to fuck you hard all night, Mrs. Williams," he whispered, making me shudder in delight.
"Bring it on, Mr.CEO." I said in a seductive tone, making him groan and he pushed himself against me. I could feel his hard-on and closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of his lips on my collar bone and had just one thought in my head.
How the hell did I get so lucky!
THE END.
