Ramon
"This beach is so beautiful Ramon!" exclaims Celestia as we walk up to the house on the sand.
If only she knew that the real beauty here was her. Only her.
As she looks around, I gesture for Wyatt to come to the door. He looks at me confused but walks to me anyway. I hand him over the key and tilt my head towards the door.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKy4S9rOmg
"Open it. There's something for you inside."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Vz2K10vz
"Sir, you've given me everything and more, there's no need."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt6ruHWukS
"It's not an item, well the first part isn't. Just go inside." I smile.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2O1OZoZ6C
He takes a breath and unlocks the door.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEE37ek7PK
"Surprise!"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ790GEvVFIX
"Hi, daddy!" screams Luna as she runs to her father's feet.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hkwFfoAyn
Wyatt looks at me shocked.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4OwTfjmmU
"How did you-"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fMOXds5qv
"You thought this wonderful man would forget about your birthday?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm00UQC5MSY
"Aurora, my love is that you?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlTB6PE7R7
"Yeah, baby, I'm here too," she says as she emerges from the kitchen with Evelyn in hand.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcYKXhpMFm
He rushes over to her and kisses her tenderly. Aurora looks at me as Wyatt takes the baby out of her hands and she mouths a thank you. I nod at her and before I turn to find Celestia, her arms wrap around me.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN98V1yaBjm
"That was very sweet of you," she whispers behind me.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ0UNxEqGq
"His wife told me that he hadn't celebrated his birthday in years and she wanted to do something special for him this year, so I brought them here."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymnLh2QpHT
"He'll remember this birthday forever." she smiles as she waves at Aurora who is now coming towards us.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzT0rq3FUv
"Thank you, Ramon, he's so happy. I can never thank you enough."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcpvSbxqg
"It's no problem Aurora, where's Mateo by the way?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCUmbqaOeR
"Oh!" shouts Celestia.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwR9okz0mN
We all turn to see Mateo holding a small crab in his hands. He was smiling, showing his missing tooth.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW65DVQ6um
"There you are, Matty. Look at you, you're all dirty with sand."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVpOYX4H7P
Aurora moves around us and picks up Mateo.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ILOTx2YB
"Hi, Mr.Osy!243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaS5YvAKII
"Hi, buddy." I smile as I give him a high five.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweeVw4T1La
"So this is the amazing Mateo, I've heard about." smiles Celestia as she waves at him.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC4Pt6LC86
"I am amazing, I am!" he squeals and laughs. He holds his hands out to her and Aurora hands him over.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFgjYvmwEY
"What's your name?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfP1qIPwGX
"I'm Celestia,"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AzvMWPlgU
"Are you princess Celestia from My Little Pony?" he says as his eyes go wide.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq9wqVNGby
"No, she's way better than me. I don't have any wings, see?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxpc2ugjrL
As we all go inside and Aurora taps my arm.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPzti0yRhe
"Is she it?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iGmADmOok
"What do you mean?" I question her as I watch Celestia play with Mateo.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa5sRvBija
"Is she the one, I mean. Let's not forget you had a reputation with women, everyone saw you both on the front page. And I haven't seen you with anyone new. She's your secretary right?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2DtxaILR4
"Yeah, she is."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwwqXB2ND0
"And does she live with you now?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEb2EniB8b
"Yes,"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpD44M1Bfl
"And she knows about your sexual lifestyle,"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PrzMmNrsY
"I-"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkFhiq75Sp
"I'm not dumb Ramon, I have eyes. I can see the faint cuff marks on her wrists."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4eWTfE3kH
"Yeah, she's into it."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCCr2GnBOE
"Then what are you waiting for? When you asked me to set up the back of the house for you, I knew that you were head over heels."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nfmC97BDo
"What do you mean by that?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdG1pe4iTw
"You're clearly in love with the girl."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nu5K49bM2
I take a deep breath and look at her.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mzwFHZjWl
"I am. But I don't know how to bring it up to her."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlP9IhOiuM
"Just tell her. There's never a perfect time Ramon. But all I'm going to say is that when you say it, make sure you mean it."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GMqmUT330
"I will," I reply just as Celestia comes up to us.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY95NbLyf6v
"You ready to leave princess?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zXkbqgK8t
"You're a princess?!" brightens Luna as she comes in with Wyatt. "Mom I wanna be a princess too!"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNSWLBvtl2
"You are a princess sweetie, you're my princess."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxhv4JGsVS
"Where are we going?" asks Celestia.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXBdGsGktV
"Next door."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9gPV4FOm
"Next door?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3zzMIRt7y
"Yep," I say as I take her hand.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgTaM3Hrdd
"Bye-bye CC!" shouts Mateo.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdqKg2U2ow
"Bye, sweetie!"
"You must be hungry," I say once we get outside.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yp0PchcrY
"A little yeah."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuHr4XVxYu
"Sorry, I just wanted to give Wyatt his gift first.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTfzjDMYhP
"It's all good. I enjoyed my time with the kids."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZiXjFDFOK
I take her into the other beach house next door and bring her out to the back. Aurora had placed lanterns everywhere and the small table was adorned with flowers.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCV7yM8pku
"Wow, this is so pretty."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26SVDDPKnf
I pull out her chair and she sits down.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCzcHuCIfv
"Thank you."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI4EHrio0m
"You're welcome," I reply. "Don't move I'll be right back,"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh7WGk5uzn
She nods and I go back inside to find aurora bringing in the food just in time.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mO5TD6uSW
"Thank you again for this."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfec9Q10lS
"Anytime Ramon, remember what I said earlier."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMypAKUaqk5
"I know, I'm thinking about it."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFNPbXHwkW
"Good, I'll talk to you later," she says as she walks out.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdjXjXzAo8
I grab the food tray from the counter and go back outside with it.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFN4Hqq5QD
"Ooh, what are we having?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7SJayXrgM
"Omelets, french toast, Belgian waffles, and sandwiches," I reply as I set the long tray on the table and sit down.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUEQ9P9RM
"You're going to spoil me rotten Ramon,"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5sJofPvfH
"That's my plan." I chuckle, picking up a waffle with my fork as we continue to talk about anything and everything. Life and death, past and future.

"Thank you again for this Ramon, I loved everything."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8u6jFzQpx
"Oh, we aren't done yet," I say as I smile and loop my arms around her. "We're going dancing."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzdeKwVRmZ
"Dancing?" she laughs. "Since when do you dance?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXluRMXJoiA
"Since I've started dating you, princess."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi4unvaNcM
"Well then, I guess we're going dancing." she smiles.
We walk hand in hand in silence on the edge of the beach to the lights that were now bright and reflecting on the ocean waves. We spot Wyatt and Aurora swinging gently side to side, and the kids were playing in the sand.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3WFe3AVVc
"Their family is so lovely," whispers Celestia.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizcspdT7h9
"I know,"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK57UzGoCH0
"Celestia! How was your lunch?" says Aurora as she looks at us.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHEjtDPNg1
"It was wonderful, I just loved your decorations!"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJVpt941Xc
"Why thank you," she smiles as she lays her head on her husband's chest.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI7THDipYU
"Oh! May I hold her?" asks Celestia as she points to Evelyn sitting on the sand.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PPQxSvLdN
"Sure, If she'll let you." Aurora laughs. "She's so clingy to me and doesn't like anyone."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAcuWFG731
"She's so cute, I'm gonna try anyway."
Celestia walks over to the kids and sits down on the sand with them, fanning out her dress. Evelyn pats her tiny hands on the sand in front of her sister as they build a small lopsided sandcastle. I continue to watch as Celestia picks up a smooth seashell and holds out her hand to Evelyn. She looks at the seashell and moves into a standing position. Evelyn looks at the shell, then back at Celestia. To our surprise, she takes a few wobbly steps closer to her. When she's in reach, Celestia picks her up gently and places her in her lap, dangling the shell and smiling at Evelyn who was now laughing.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1crfYp4LyY
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTaJF3eq1z
"She must be good with kids," says Aurora as she and Wyatt come up to me.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrorRAPzPdl
"I think I just fell in love all over again," I whispered.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxZpxN2s0H
"I know," she says. "You look absolutely whipped."
__________
"We're gonna head in you two, we have to get these kids to bed. Have a great rest of your night" Aurora says.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBlJUqXNxy
"Alright, goodnight Aurora, night Wyatt!"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjoLAgnWnd
"Night."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1733bKuAwL
Luna and Mateo run to Celestia once more and hug her. She gives them a squeeze and runs her hands through their hair as she smiles at them.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH7ph5HxRd
"Night night, Princess CC," mutters Mateo.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvfHYY6xSE
"Goodnight cuties," Celestia replies as she lets go of them.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4vcNl5ibJ
They run back to their parents and as she watches them leave I take her hand and spin her around to face me. She collides with my chest and I smile at her.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxyFymjYXz
"It seems that I haven't been getting much attention, but now I have you all to myself."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yknOuNzic
"Sorry, I can't help it. Children are so precious," she replies.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpKidEjf19
"It was fine, I loved watching you play with them. It suits you."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EGQpoS4l4
"Whatever do you mean by that?" she questions as I spin her around again as we dance on the sand.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrExFvqgqL6
"I mean that you're just good with children, you'd be a great mother too."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS0jGK0iG2
She softly smiles. "Thank you, I don't know though, I do love playing with them, and I have imagined having my own someday but-"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ncgVeoLnc
"But?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvZdGnMsVX
"I don't think I could handle carrying one for nine months. I can't even handle my period cramps."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F9ptETyXq
"I think you'll be fine. You're a strong woman, and very determined with a drive like none other."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsib4hhJxV9
"You're too sweet Ramon," she blushes as she ducks her head to the side.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjDrU8O95O
"I have something for you."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NeNBflt61
"Another gift? Babe quit spoiling me, you're not gonna like the outcome of it." she laughs.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a9mYoYGPE
"This gift is a special gift."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7TTaflTGd
"What is it?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGdfVwLD0x
"Now, it wouldn't be a gift if I told you, would it?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloRD8xGtGW
"I suppose not,"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsitrxNliw
I take her hand and we walk to the porch of the beach house. I take the box from the table next to the door and sit next to her on the stairs.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvITJF9rPB
"Before I give this to you, I just wanted you to know that over the past few weeks I've grown to like you even more than I did before. If you say no to the question I'm going to ask you once you open this, I will be fine." I say as I hand her the box.
Lies. All lies. There is no way in hell I'd be fine if she said no. I'd be so damn heartbroken. I don't even know what I'd do. My heart beats faster as she slowly opens the box. Her mouth becomes slightly ajar as she looks at the item in front of her. She looks up at me and I sigh.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsQuwdv3EY
"It's a collar. Not just any collar. Celestia, I want to claim you as mine. You don't know how much I adore you. I can't stand the thought of anyone taking you away from me. You're precious to me. When that dreadful fucker of a man took you away from me, I was ready to go to hell and back to make sure you were back in my arms again. I-." I take a deep breath and close my eyes. "I love you, Celestia, I'm in love with you. I love the way you tease me, I love the way you look at me every day, I love our late-night conversations, I love every. Single. Thing. About you."
I swallow the lump in my throat and open my eyes. Celestia looked at me fondly with tears in the corner of her eyes.243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESWfsVAhQG
"It's fine if you don't love me back I don't know what I was thinking-"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88cJvjPVtp
"But I do." she smiles as she pulls me close and kisses me. "I do love you, Ramon."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeggGB0Usd
"Really?"243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Lzzx7huF
"Yes really, I didn't want to admit it to myself, but you make me whole. You're the reason why I want to wake up every day smiling. I love you."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet9QGJRwx2
"God, you don't know how long I've been wanting to hear that from you."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaCGEm7mNa
"This isn't a promise ring," I say as I take the collar out of the box and put it around her neck. "But think of it as one, because I promise you that I will never let anyone break us apart. Ever."243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49AWdyvJCP
I pull her closer and kiss her passionately.
As we kiss underneath the stars and the bright lights of the lanterns, I can't help but smile. Celestia was mine and no one else's. Mine to hold, mine to comfort, mine to love, mine to fuck. All mine.
