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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDU7pucqJ5
"Open it. There's something for you inside."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexvkv4Bjeh
"Sir, you've given me everything and more, there's no need."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpamQbhBCg
"It's not an item, well the first part isn't. Just go inside." I smile.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCXbBEhUOX
He takes a breath and unlocks the door.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqshVWW9e5t
"Surprise!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBivfKvHIO
"Hi, daddy!" screams Luna as she runs to her father's feet.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUurGiLl5S
Wyatt looks at me shocked.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jJtGoGLxT
"How did you-"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAJR1AW3Gv
"You thought this wonderful man would forget about your birthday?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpM7hxzOqp
"Aurora, my love is that you?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihBM2eLxyA
"Yeah, baby, I'm here too," she says as she emerges from the kitchen with Evelyn in hand.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCTgFO6qou
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSbQDiRwmG
"That was very sweet of you," she whispers behind me.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0U8bUJTnx
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAx7jVyIUO
"He'll remember this birthday forever." she smiles as she waves at Aurora who is now coming towards us.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucHnh0fC7q
"Thank you, Ramon, he's so happy. I can never thank you enough."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGOKLkTs12
"It's no problem Aurora, where's Mateo by the way?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lbf3rNa3B
"Oh!" shouts Celestia.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUAmrmYjlB
We all turn to see Mateo holding a small crab in his hands. He was smiling, showing his missing tooth.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPr0gMYTMs
"There you are, Matty. Look at you, you're all dirty with sand."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xoP13Obbn
Aurora moves around us and picks up Mateo.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzoBe3lkMd
"Hi, Mr.Osy!234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKCNNMi7VT
"Hi, buddy." I smile as I give him a high five.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8d6fgNTtz
"So this is the amazing Mateo, I've heard about." smiles Celestia as she waves at him.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyi3C22Ct4
"I am amazing, I am!" he squeals and laughs. He holds his hands out to her and Aurora hands him over.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZOmLkX0ZO
"What's your name?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKjczUC13t
"I'm Celestia,"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi8YfmrrDq
"Are you princess Celestia from My Little Pony?" he says as his eyes go wide.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm600BtG3f
"No, she's way better than me. I don't have any wings, see?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKzYgd9as3
As we all go inside and Aurora taps my arm.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpcDsmyGd2
"Is she it?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcwPyMbi8c
"What do you mean?" I question her as I watch Celestia play with Mateo.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZT95OXngb
"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?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx0ntMk1a9
"Yeah, she is."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEk2ZFeTLk
"And does she live with you now?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy2yarMQlc
"Yes,"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23764Lqf3p
"And she knows about your sexual lifestyle,"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoifuIL9vA
"I-"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oPMWO7C0H
"I'm not dumb Ramon, I have eyes. I can see the faint cuff marks on her wrists."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVirq9wWD5t
"Yeah, she's into it."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lCcAYb7IC
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDichSLHaV
"What do you mean by that?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUzUWBHwjY
"You're clearly in love with the girl."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjPS3a1yqp
I take a deep breath and look at her.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGNi7xKi7I
"I am. But I don't know how to bring it up to her."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdHwpEwV76
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nOnrUGeh8
"I will," I reply just as Celestia comes up to us.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio5PeJ9sEJ
"You ready to leave princess?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM8hNpBruN
"You're a princess?!" brightens Luna as she comes in with Wyatt. "Mom I wanna be a princess too!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg0AYRLOKj
"You are a princess sweetie, you're my princess."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUL8joLx9a
"Where are we going?" asks Celestia.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dwclhCLHG
"Next door."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2BpMyYImX
"Next door?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE3gc0Nbeb
"Yep," I say as I take her hand.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aloub7y6a
"Bye-bye CC!" shouts Mateo.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMyNf5rE7a
"Bye, sweetie!"
"You must be hungry," I say once we get outside.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGsQ3Cohr1
"A little yeah."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPbsvGXd4p
"Sorry, I just wanted to give Wyatt his gift first.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthXzvc8S88
"It's all good. I enjoyed my time with the kids."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHMLn4dNdn
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdUW67qe9E
"Wow, this is so pretty."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmHzJ3fb1m
I pull out her chair and she sits down.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Vd6KYyCy
"Thank you."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJatkiuHUV
"You're welcome," I reply. "Don't move I'll be right back,"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm98tnzPep
She nods and I go back inside to find aurora bringing in the food just in time.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQjt2HgLAk
"Thank you again for this."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIuHwtzqNM
"Anytime Ramon, remember what I said earlier."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDByh6XEVs
"I know, I'm thinking about it."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Vp27cgrc
"Good, I'll talk to you later," she says as she walks out.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsXfjAu0t2
I grab the food tray from the counter and go back outside with it.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvdiCSE8vR
"Ooh, what are we having?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMQVmUyZNQ
"Omelets, french toast, Belgian waffles, and sandwiches," I reply as I set the long tray on the table and sit down.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFb408Lvg9
"You're going to spoil me rotten Ramon,"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw8Xkykadd
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jiGGzogcp
"Oh, we aren't done yet," I say as I smile and loop my arms around her. "We're going dancing."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uxPtuhtuM
"Dancing?" she laughs. "Since when do you dance?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkVmdlRBHL
"Since I've started dating you, princess."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAPnaG24oV
"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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWCAppsauI
"Their family is so lovely," whispers Celestia.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0OPQd7oAe
"I know,"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nuV3Becyf
"Celestia! How was your lunch?" says Aurora as she looks at us.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5hczL3L7v
"It was wonderful, I just loved your decorations!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ1r28Bsnb
"Why thank you," she smiles as she lays her head on her husband's chest.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJvglUIs06
"Oh! May I hold her?" asks Celestia as she points to Evelyn sitting on the sand.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoB2jJlQHl
"Sure, If she'll let you." Aurora laughs. "She's so clingy to me and doesn't like anyone."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7cLWQeYEO
"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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCpof5AzSq
234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MYoUGXSMM
"She must be good with kids," says Aurora as she and Wyatt come up to me.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVj7CP9uQl
"I think I just fell in love all over again," I whispered.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXheAXyeIW1
"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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sTLwzzipn
"Alright, goodnight Aurora, night Wyatt!"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcn0L0FHwz
"Night."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaCEUsPIig
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFHY8GBfSq
"Night night, Princess CC," mutters Mateo.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPWlqvqbku
"Goodnight cuties," Celestia replies as she lets go of them.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFdT1kcDs
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx4f0w53Kn
"It seems that I haven't been getting much attention, but now I have you all to myself."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf9efLfkEv
"Sorry, I can't help it. Children are so precious," she replies.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnkLbvGsfc
"It was fine, I loved watching you play with them. It suits you."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdueAaYEIUN
"Whatever do you mean by that?" she questions as I spin her around again as we dance on the sand.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteE49c8HUg
"I mean that you're just good with children, you'd be a great mother too."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4RK1o5l7Q
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-"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYFDqS5elJ
"But?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqbJGtLCGH
"I don't think I could handle carrying one for nine months. I can't even handle my period cramps."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Rb5BQtqb
"I think you'll be fine. You're a strong woman, and very determined with a drive like none other."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvILXilawvp
"You're too sweet Ramon," she blushes as she ducks her head to the side.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2i4oz2buB
"I have something for you."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiaXMSOhhH
"Another gift? Babe quit spoiling me, you're not gonna like the outcome of it." she laughs.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuC8PVKBbk
"This gift is a special gift."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2769F2q5HQ
"What is it?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ca7ly0xy
"Now, it wouldn't be a gift if I told you, would it?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRxKVUTb5E
"I suppose not,"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUSCiWzO9O
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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2vaw1qJ6A
"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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDqaSnhuMk
"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.234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRDGLuQKT
"It's fine if you don't love me back I don't know what I was thinking-"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGakEdUxiZ
"But I do." she smiles as she pulls me close and kisses me. "I do love you, Ramon."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbgjP8Vixc
"Really?"234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdNHthukos
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bfUB4y8of
"God, you don't know how long I've been wanting to hear that from you."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs95keNRds
"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."234Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqujshTjWpm
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.
