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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MWG0xowkK
"Open it. There's something for you inside."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwRCXwzUQN
"Sir, you've given me everything and more, there's no need."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTaTvtZeVq
"It's not an item, well the first part isn't. Just go inside." I smile.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdw0mBeUfl
He takes a breath and unlocks the door.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQinI0AZlb
"Surprise!"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSq9wRSd1D
"Hi, daddy!" screams Luna as she runs to her father's feet.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeYEoGyDXQ
Wyatt looks at me shocked.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vbi3cnLi9
"How did you-"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bfWXU068H
"You thought this wonderful man would forget about your birthday?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXAFABPbxW
"Aurora, my love is that you?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b7sKF6XE9
"Yeah, baby, I'm here too," she says as she emerges from the kitchen with Evelyn in hand.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ZIAcglTU
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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmKcz46OqS
"That was very sweet of you," she whispers behind me.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnLoPdeCVL
"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."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13H8eQucR6
"He'll remember this birthday forever." she smiles as she waves at Aurora who is now coming towards us.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ11JDoTkH
"Thank you, Ramon, he's so happy. I can never thank you enough."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWbC0wjEId
"It's no problem Aurora, where's Mateo by the way?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5onXF3aflD
"Oh!" shouts Celestia.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q5arqZILq
We all turn to see Mateo holding a small crab in his hands. He was smiling, showing his missing tooth.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZF3briVjo
"There you are, Matty. Look at you, you're all dirty with sand."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqScDBpLUj
Aurora moves around us and picks up Mateo.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNI426L3BU
"Hi, Mr.Osy!257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UmDtSFfRC
"Hi, buddy." I smile as I give him a high five.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrSd3VEznc
"So this is the amazing Mateo, I've heard about." smiles Celestia as she waves at him.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVfW8VIEch
"I am amazing, I am!" he squeals and laughs. He holds his hands out to her and Aurora hands him over.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz5ToqaNcF
"What's your name?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb5sdqXKX0
"I'm Celestia,"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNDNMtBfNo
"Are you princess Celestia from My Little Pony?" he says as his eyes go wide.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ161opKjc
"No, she's way better than me. I don't have any wings, see?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7nMS5A2Mh
As we all go inside and Aurora taps my arm.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIppsAl1Ym7
"Is she it?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0iPntVHCQ
"What do you mean?" I question her as I watch Celestia play with Mateo.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzwCf2LtYI
"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?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SAihLBXGg
"Yeah, she is."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN6H2sm76z
"And does she live with you now?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOREB1zxHE
"Yes,"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojaUn1zBFH
"And she knows about your sexual lifestyle,"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRECv8rbcA
"I-"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfZzkJ0Vp2
"I'm not dumb Ramon, I have eyes. I can see the faint cuff marks on her wrists."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN5zr07LMG
"Yeah, she's into it."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzBE7NxpqN
"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."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6dZdTdUEP
"What do you mean by that?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7CUbGwqJj
"You're clearly in love with the girl."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObpnzFKDmx
I take a deep breath and look at her.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d6doCScsv
"I am. But I don't know how to bring it up to her."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZTxEcDFuF
"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."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtQXBRhJsk
"I will," I reply just as Celestia comes up to us.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKrgNLjBFG
"You ready to leave princess?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKmscN6SpU
"You're a princess?!" brightens Luna as she comes in with Wyatt. "Mom I wanna be a princess too!"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9oKlPQ73i
"You are a princess sweetie, you're my princess."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLn9rQGdC4
"Where are we going?" asks Celestia.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreYuCSgrZz
"Next door."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG7hcdDqig
"Next door?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUZCQFiXV5
"Yep," I say as I take her hand.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfyHQIWgVS
"Bye-bye CC!" shouts Mateo.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSLmyj6tk
"Bye, sweetie!"
"You must be hungry," I say once we get outside.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtU8fZX8is
"A little yeah."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NOvvNm8pU
"Sorry, I just wanted to give Wyatt his gift first.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx8D2TbNZF
"It's all good. I enjoyed my time with the kids."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZSThUhuKf
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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OeCXWG8Dh
"Wow, this is so pretty."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWXlJ2B6TR
I pull out her chair and she sits down.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt283MhbEIv
"Thank you."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWKxpwOlxY
"You're welcome," I reply. "Don't move I'll be right back,"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsSYP2nIDB
She nods and I go back inside to find aurora bringing in the food just in time.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rat4KJnbe
"Thank you again for this."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg1WKgnSCJ
"Anytime Ramon, remember what I said earlier."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLY5qAgPaR
"I know, I'm thinking about it."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOF9EFwsLQ
"Good, I'll talk to you later," she says as she walks out.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDIq1FVD2M
I grab the food tray from the counter and go back outside with it.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzVW1s6q5Y
"Ooh, what are we having?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRl1rds261
"Omelets, french toast, Belgian waffles, and sandwiches," I reply as I set the long tray on the table and sit down.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLDQ46QbRv
"You're going to spoil me rotten Ramon,"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIW2P5GoZF
"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."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcJiGkaiLz
"Oh, we aren't done yet," I say as I smile and loop my arms around her. "We're going dancing."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLeBaEzGz
"Dancing?" she laughs. "Since when do you dance?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbmBpR42Vg
"Since I've started dating you, princess."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2iHsgoDAX
"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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ju7TFrs1
"Their family is so lovely," whispers Celestia.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5jlLEguuj
"I know,"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz66F3h1Bf1
"Celestia! How was your lunch?" says Aurora as she looks at us.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWcJSrDNDA
"It was wonderful, I just loved your decorations!"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwy9fkfZyC
"Why thank you," she smiles as she lays her head on her husband's chest.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9y1CL45j7
"Oh! May I hold her?" asks Celestia as she points to Evelyn sitting on the sand.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZc24Ugsli
"Sure, If she'll let you." Aurora laughs. "She's so clingy to me and doesn't like anyone."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uXPuaGwpD
"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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZwmMyYqjr
257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8CNoB5Ffs
"She must be good with kids," says Aurora as she and Wyatt come up to me.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEGRIOmVbd
"I think I just fell in love all over again," I whispered.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS18KWRAuM5
"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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9mT7sBtxx
"Alright, goodnight Aurora, night Wyatt!"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXVOOqLMP1
"Night."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz8pxsM2Ur
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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTUOgMkhEI
"Night night, Princess CC," mutters Mateo.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ROsdmVMdO
"Goodnight cuties," Celestia replies as she lets go of them.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwov1zi6bJF
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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53OMkPsYxQ
"It seems that I haven't been getting much attention, but now I have you all to myself."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuab5YbCw3D
"Sorry, I can't help it. Children are so precious," she replies.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeZREBguul
"It was fine, I loved watching you play with them. It suits you."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUQsWFjVLZ
"Whatever do you mean by that?" she questions as I spin her around again as we dance on the sand.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoyih23yMt
"I mean that you're just good with children, you'd be a great mother too."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrLIF7iu23
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-"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub5glkc8ET
"But?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunZKfNqel2
"I don't think I could handle carrying one for nine months. I can't even handle my period cramps."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ciKytZHy3
"I think you'll be fine. You're a strong woman, and very determined with a drive like none other."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5rMzm2nnv
"You're too sweet Ramon," she blushes as she ducks her head to the side.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp91A8Jp65F
"I have something for you."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1XnBMHmcA
"Another gift? Babe quit spoiling me, you're not gonna like the outcome of it." she laughs.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97WTaFYPZK
"This gift is a special gift."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTJ4LwC3Fj
"What is it?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnkROnYgEY
"Now, it wouldn't be a gift if I told you, would it?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SjgECMfvY
"I suppose not,"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd6ughhowr
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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S9TXVaGTU
"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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn02mxYP0r
"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.257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns9gwU1QeS
"It's fine if you don't love me back I don't know what I was thinking-"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCb6rPn5WP
"But I do." she smiles as she pulls me close and kisses me. "I do love you, Ramon."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyT9PQ6eil
"Really?"257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFuLFIFYLz
"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."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfflH4juFG
"God, you don't know how long I've been wanting to hear that from you."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe8O0cSzv2
"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."257Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxczRkf6mRl
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.
