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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXhNMaNXYL
"Open it. There's something for you inside."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BPuHp9z7r
"Sir, you've given me everything and more, there's no need."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsxq78bphJ
"It's not an item, well the first part isn't. Just go inside." I smile.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYr9KRiNsa
He takes a breath and unlocks the door.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfFf3sStPD
"Surprise!"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV4SXq3k2v
"Hi, daddy!" screams Luna as she runs to her father's feet.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8wB3v2cJr
Wyatt looks at me shocked.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe54E1w1vSr
"How did you-"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGZNTc6Gdt
"You thought this wonderful man would forget about your birthday?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKksn4kGplT
"Aurora, my love is that you?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc73e9mDnlq
"Yeah, baby, I'm here too," she says as she emerges from the kitchen with Evelyn in hand.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCxVkWnTGE
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c4wADLdZQ
"That was very sweet of you," she whispers behind me.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmEQrdWsWA
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnzDCcreCy
"He'll remember this birthday forever." she smiles as she waves at Aurora who is now coming towards us.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6lClyF7eW
"Thank you, Ramon, he's so happy. I can never thank you enough."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhYz3onwrQ
"It's no problem Aurora, where's Mateo by the way?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPqOHoO8mc
"Oh!" shouts Celestia.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2uCiwWneK
We all turn to see Mateo holding a small crab in his hands. He was smiling, showing his missing tooth.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi6fJOeGdp
"There you are, Matty. Look at you, you're all dirty with sand."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5IO0hvkWr
Aurora moves around us and picks up Mateo.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiCTs9Y9Yo
"Hi, Mr.Osy!217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSstPvZdWU
"Hi, buddy." I smile as I give him a high five.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCEV7PaqDC
"So this is the amazing Mateo, I've heard about." smiles Celestia as she waves at him.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTMoAxcTwN
"I am amazing, I am!" he squeals and laughs. He holds his hands out to her and Aurora hands him over.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFPXIUYYLy
"What's your name?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf4rMfzthF
"I'm Celestia,"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstQXPoXJeP
"Are you princess Celestia from My Little Pony?" he says as his eyes go wide.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vz6Of2McV
"No, she's way better than me. I don't have any wings, see?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ07LkH4iUS
As we all go inside and Aurora taps my arm.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cdiF1vhl1
"Is she it?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRMAzp4J7G
"What do you mean?" I question her as I watch Celestia play with Mateo.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy0X2NaOGX
"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?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFt8CACP3C
"Yeah, she is."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYpK5fVLtA
"And does she live with you now?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuaYotdphw
"Yes,"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCSXn8dM0b
"And she knows about your sexual lifestyle,"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCFQSyCGex
"I-"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklU4q5kLJW
"I'm not dumb Ramon, I have eyes. I can see the faint cuff marks on her wrists."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFFjlmURYm
"Yeah, she's into it."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyze8E3sayY
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIldjlAGJm
"What do you mean by that?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsalOmKW950
"You're clearly in love with the girl."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEskscJ3SF3
I take a deep breath and look at her.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD0jGDoOGH
"I am. But I don't know how to bring it up to her."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO9vulf7kL
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoybyPHC9O
"I will," I reply just as Celestia comes up to us.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3qyrAJIiV
"You ready to leave princess?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEilkLGRdMt
"You're a princess?!" brightens Luna as she comes in with Wyatt. "Mom I wanna be a princess too!"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTVHvcs9lt
"You are a princess sweetie, you're my princess."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQmM65IYco
"Where are we going?" asks Celestia.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbMAkU4pQq
"Next door."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAP655laWS
"Next door?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4pFW4KKrj
"Yep," I say as I take her hand.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37mtgRsQeJ
"Bye-bye CC!" shouts Mateo.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9ZU7q0Wyj
"Bye, sweetie!"
"You must be hungry," I say once we get outside.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMBlwVa5kv
"A little yeah."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjRx7LQD5n
"Sorry, I just wanted to give Wyatt his gift first.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsgqTJemlR
"It's all good. I enjoyed my time with the kids."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaB8CfM9Hu
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvhnVUffM1
"Wow, this is so pretty."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrPPp6HJXy
I pull out her chair and she sits down.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVFD6FKPy1
"Thank you."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp5bVQsk3c
"You're welcome," I reply. "Don't move I'll be right back,"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoUE6mZCIm
She nods and I go back inside to find aurora bringing in the food just in time.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZGigo2Gp8
"Thank you again for this."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYJEXetHfj
"Anytime Ramon, remember what I said earlier."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xEjLKf0GH
"I know, I'm thinking about it."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFFZwpaHyv
"Good, I'll talk to you later," she says as she walks out.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSFaRfoA1P
I grab the food tray from the counter and go back outside with it.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RveubSbFB
"Ooh, what are we having?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70JqcRLNXl
"Omelets, french toast, Belgian waffles, and sandwiches," I reply as I set the long tray on the table and sit down.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC9pNzrCfA
"You're going to spoil me rotten Ramon,"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OSRST8gK2
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeckztwiiY
"Oh, we aren't done yet," I say as I smile and loop my arms around her. "We're going dancing."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT7ykAmHA1
"Dancing?" she laughs. "Since when do you dance?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cPxzefxVO
"Since I've started dating you, princess."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi9JqhsUQW
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yyU902bON
"Their family is so lovely," whispers Celestia.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNOhJCCkZL
"I know,"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgPwUP0nUF
"Celestia! How was your lunch?" says Aurora as she looks at us.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J8o2RSP8g
"It was wonderful, I just loved your decorations!"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DCGbEb7FV
"Why thank you," she smiles as she lays her head on her husband's chest.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OFbRoJl34
"Oh! May I hold her?" asks Celestia as she points to Evelyn sitting on the sand.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYACzgrDB4c
"Sure, If she'll let you." Aurora laughs. "She's so clingy to me and doesn't like anyone."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm2kZEMbae
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpczJi5nDay
217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SMDUNwcqx
"She must be good with kids," says Aurora as she and Wyatt come up to me.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJCpnJlvz2
"I think I just fell in love all over again," I whispered.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEne14kytk
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ7Z29kta1
"Alright, goodnight Aurora, night Wyatt!"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb6ZPySdRZ
"Night."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm4Ub9aIiK
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzFeer1BY7
"Night night, Princess CC," mutters Mateo.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKhdW7Cjzz
"Goodnight cuties," Celestia replies as she lets go of them.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4GvfbYnmv
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNHQCkxzZL
"It seems that I haven't been getting much attention, but now I have you all to myself."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z1XdsY3zm
"Sorry, I can't help it. Children are so precious," she replies.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbINv6dYUn
"It was fine, I loved watching you play with them. It suits you."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D7phN8xlQ
"Whatever do you mean by that?" she questions as I spin her around again as we dance on the sand.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73VxEnaLJy
"I mean that you're just good with children, you'd be a great mother too."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklHoPC65Xo
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-"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OcMXn0NEp
"But?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL4s56U3d0
"I don't think I could handle carrying one for nine months. I can't even handle my period cramps."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8UnZZ2j7h
"I think you'll be fine. You're a strong woman, and very determined with a drive like none other."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqTCPv4E4K
"You're too sweet Ramon," she blushes as she ducks her head to the side.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnN962NBQu
"I have something for you."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1jgTsDuQb
"Another gift? Babe quit spoiling me, you're not gonna like the outcome of it." she laughs.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvADbXWX4zZ
"This gift is a special gift."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QUMJV12Bm
"What is it?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmtXshAGS9
"Now, it wouldn't be a gift if I told you, would it?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSLbdWKftT
"I suppose not,"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEC1SxUmyD
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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixzrBvTmgO
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLbdyySCRw
"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.217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsd0qFOXaD
"It's fine if you don't love me back I don't know what I was thinking-"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA9yVvaLhx
"But I do." she smiles as she pulls me close and kisses me. "I do love you, Ramon."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkqM7WRUQm
"Really?"217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4up2kgWI4
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLUMBtE71N
"God, you don't know how long I've been wanting to hear that from you."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBXTGGSKG6
"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."217Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOMhx6tt4O
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.
