UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 281 – THE END
My phone buzzes in my hand. I look down at my screen, and it’s a message from Gray.
From Gray: Hate it when you care about that miserable fuck called Theo. Have fun with your friends, I love you.
I blow out my breath and lock my screen as I drop it on the counter.
“You sure you’re okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” I smile at them.
“So what’s up with your marriage plans?” Piper asks.
“Hmm.. yeah. What’s up with it?” Alexa hums with food stuffed in her mouth.
“Like I said, I’m giving birth first. Pregnancy isn’t what I expected. And also…” I click my fingers and smile.
“What?” they ask at once.
“I’m visiting Canada again with Gray. I don’t even know when we’re gonna be back.” I say.
“Wow… I’m jealous,” Piper mutters, and we laugh.
“Seriously, Pipe.”
“What?” She chuckles.
“Alexa got Reid. Brandon got a new lover, and me? I’m stuck. So fucking stuck, my inner woman is worried about me.”
“You once had Jamie. You fucked him up,” Brandon says.
“It’s not my fault, alright…” She points out and throws her hands in surrender. “We weren’t a thing. We couldn’t work out, and you know… I had to leave,” Piper says and drinks her water from the glass.
“There are thousands of hot assholes in college. You’ve been ignoring their signals,” Alexa tells her.
“Whatever. Maybe I should focus more on school, considering the fact that I’m graduating next year.”
“I can’t wait to get the fuck out of school. That shit sucks,” Alexa says, and we laugh.
“And also, we can’t wait to plan your wedding together, Ariel. I’m so gonna love it,” Brandon says and smiles at me.
“This feels all too new to me. I’m scared. Being a mom, a wife, and all that shit.” I huff and grab a bottle of water as I uncap it.
“It’s no big deal. Rock it the way you want. It’s your world,” Alexa advises.
“Yup, she’s right,” Piper says, and we giggle.
UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 281 – THE END
I hop out of bed and run my fingers down my hair. We are in Canada, and Gray decides to pay for a suite till our visit expires.
I turn to look at Gray; he’s standing at the balcony, shirtless and smoking. I go to the bathroom and look at my reflection in the mirror. I wrap my hair in a ponytail and look at my baby bump.
Gray made sure I slept with only a white lacey bra and panties. Like he said, he hates it when I wear clothes to bed. Really crazy.
I spread toothpaste on my brush and brush my teeth. I turn on the faucet and rinse my mouth. I lick my bottom lip, stare at my reflection one last time, and leave.
I walk to the balcony and wrap my arms around his torso from behind.
“You feel warm,” he says and turns around with a cigarette stuck between his lips.
He pulls it out, blows the smoke above my head, reminding me that I’m petite and he’s taller than me. He tips the bottom of the cigarette and drops the stick on the ashtray resting on the railing.
“You look beautiful,” he says and leans down to place a kiss on my lips.
“Thank you.” I smile at him.
“So we’re getting married, huh?” He smirks at me.
“Still in shock. I’m scared.”
“Why?”
“Being a wife and mother. This feels new,” I tell him.
He chuckles and smiles at me.
“You will be good, alright. Doesn’t really matter. We’ve got each other. I hope I don’t be a bad dad either.” He shrugs.
“You’ll be good,” I assure him and trail my fingers on his inked arm.
