Chapter 206: Chapter 206 Danielle.
I sigh when we pull apart, looking forward to coming back home and we haven’t even left yet. "Danielle," Patterson warns. We both know where this is headed. It isn’t unusual for us to miss a date night because we end up in bed.
"Then let me get my coat," I sass.
"I’ll get your coat." He takes my hand and leads me towards the door. It doesn’t take long and we’re in the back of a town car. It makes me think back to when I was driving people around. I didn’t hate the job, though I wore myself out doing it. I was always on the go, trying to make every penny I could. Maybe I’d even miss it if it wasn’t for Patterson. The man keeps me busy in all ways.
Our passion for the city has melded together. I love helping him here and there. I brought up finding another job since he hated me driving around and letting random people into my car. He was sure someone would just take me. I have to admit it doesn’t hurt my ego that he thinks everyone wants me. It’s a nice change from feeling like no one wants to be seen with me. He always does that, though. He heals parts of me that I didn’t know had been damaged.
He told me he needed me at his side. I was happy being there, so I didn’t bring it back up. I wanted to be at his side, but I wanted to make sure he wanted that, too. freewebnøvel.com
Not to mention I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant. I haven’t even told Patterson yet. With Christmas only days away, I think I’ll do it then. I know he’ll be happy. His lack of care when it comes to protection makes that clear. So do all the dirty things he says when we make love. He said he was going to knock me up a dozen times while we made love. Every time it would send me over the edge of orgasm.
My mouth falls open as we pull up to the old movie theatre. It’s one I drove past many times. "Patterson?" I ask. He gives me a smile and pulls me from the car.
"You said you thought it needed some love." He shrugs. "So I bought it. If it needs some love, we’ll give it that."
"You just bought it? Just like that?" My eyes water. He stops walking and pulls me into him.
"Sweetheart, you know what your tears do to me."
"They’re happy tears. They don’t count." I say the same thing I always do when he gets me all choked up.
"Come. There is more." When we enter the theater, I can tell someone has already started cleaning the place up. I gasp when we walk into one of the rooms. Rose petals are strewn on the aisle. The room is filled with light from candles everywhere.
"Patterson. You’re really not going to like this," I tell him as the tears leak down my cheeks. He smiles at me before placing kisses on my cheeks to stop them. When I finally think I’ve got it under control, he does it to me all over again when he falls to one knee.
"I’ve been dying to ask you something, sweetheart. The wait almost killed me, but I wanted to make this perfect for you."
"For me." I repeat his words.
"Always." He slides the diamond ring onto my finger. "Tell me you’ll marry me," he demands.
I want to tease him, but I don’t have it in me. I throw myself at him. He catches me easily, kissing me deeply.
"I’ll marry you," I blurt out when our mouths finally part. "Now take me home and make love to me." It’s me issuing the demand this time.
"Are you sure? I had plans for us." I start to respond but stop when the screen at the front of the theater lights up. A gasp leaves me when Annie starts to play.
"You remembered."
"Remembered?" He barks out a laugh. "I don’t just remember when it comes to you, Danielle. I wanted you to see that I’ll spend my life making you happy. Tonight was a taste of what we’ll have together.
"We’ll have it all," I finish for him. "And maybe one more." It takes him a moment for my words to sink in.
"And then another," he adds. I burst into a fit of laughter. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Let’s focus on one," I say.
"Or we could practice for more." He lifts me off my feet, and we end up missing the movie. We’ll write our own happily ever after.
