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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnDgtT3JDW
"Open it. There's something for you inside."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGrdNRhd3y
"Sir, you've given me everything and more, there's no need."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNiz9JMj2a
"It's not an item, well the first part isn't. Just go inside." I smile.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QnBifZph3
He takes a breath and unlocks the door.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLraHBeKWNz
"Surprise!"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUC14YQrdQ
"Hi, daddy!" screams Luna as she runs to her father's feet.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNryfqlK5Bm
Wyatt looks at me shocked.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFbVqiJTKN
"How did you-"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7wOo4ibmi
"You thought this wonderful man would forget about your birthday?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOyAaAnlzO
"Aurora, my love is that you?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNTsclDAQx
"Yeah, baby, I'm here too," she says as she emerges from the kitchen with Evelyn in hand.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1QDOddkLc
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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9TGwBBte0
"That was very sweet of you," she whispers behind me.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb7lK7bJWH
"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."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcObf1RSFUe
"He'll remember this birthday forever." she smiles as she waves at Aurora who is now coming towards us.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnLwtM7obA
"Thank you, Ramon, he's so happy. I can never thank you enough."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqWn4E2INS
"It's no problem Aurora, where's Mateo by the way?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0nwg8rzr4
"Oh!" shouts Celestia.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdir42fA6N0
We all turn to see Mateo holding a small crab in his hands. He was smiling, showing his missing tooth.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYXmXHef2h
"There you are, Matty. Look at you, you're all dirty with sand."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYoIrU6khj
Aurora moves around us and picks up Mateo.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetuT3KiwAz
"Hi, Mr.Osy!292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAseLTfRdw
"Hi, buddy." I smile as I give him a high five.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1LHZaqShL
"So this is the amazing Mateo, I've heard about." smiles Celestia as she waves at him.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGVGa974k0
"I am amazing, I am!" he squeals and laughs. He holds his hands out to her and Aurora hands him over.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoLRSYjnG9
"What's your name?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKSAlb0NTD
"I'm Celestia,"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKHQh1QVUY
"Are you princess Celestia from My Little Pony?" he says as his eyes go wide.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscKZxUIeft
"No, she's way better than me. I don't have any wings, see?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32oUHgg1lv
As we all go inside and Aurora taps my arm.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD533ENIRQ
"Is she it?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL61YilSD13
"What do you mean?" I question her as I watch Celestia play with Mateo.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWQubohjwL
"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?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjwc6NtabT
"Yeah, she is."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyFS7hzVqr
"And does she live with you now?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G2lFwYHGs
"Yes,"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzayEVbTKA
"And she knows about your sexual lifestyle,"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Lgc1MhZt
"I-"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dnLLo2wrz
"I'm not dumb Ramon, I have eyes. I can see the faint cuff marks on her wrists."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZbGSKytgw
"Yeah, she's into it."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZOKoRKqEp
"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."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQKFQn1sde
"What do you mean by that?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu8DZqcqoR
"You're clearly in love with the girl."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL4njwZfBC
I take a deep breath and look at her.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqQRSvfVg6
"I am. But I don't know how to bring it up to her."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsVUJPA2f4
"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."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyQN5vF8dY
"I will," I reply just as Celestia comes up to us.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkwtMx6ag7
"You ready to leave princess?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xt9nSz86b
"You're a princess?!" brightens Luna as she comes in with Wyatt. "Mom I wanna be a princess too!"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamGnxomuSQ
"You are a princess sweetie, you're my princess."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y9bNt67GG
"Where are we going?" asks Celestia.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcKeLOR2O8
"Next door."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7hbWzYosA
"Next door?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkU7FIP3R1
"Yep," I say as I take her hand.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqy9UF3qEW
"Bye-bye CC!" shouts Mateo.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnhNfwwCyi
"Bye, sweetie!"
"You must be hungry," I say once we get outside.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzcGssjpaM
"A little yeah."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C1fVnSSbK
"Sorry, I just wanted to give Wyatt his gift first.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPy3Qw3HK9
"It's all good. I enjoyed my time with the kids."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrha9DWZda
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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZrfOsUdEN
"Wow, this is so pretty."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJSI0iOxGL
I pull out her chair and she sits down.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBswnuJ0E9K
"Thank you."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLipbykysyl
"You're welcome," I reply. "Don't move I'll be right back,"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBuRoE8plU
She nods and I go back inside to find aurora bringing in the food just in time.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmV92u6366
"Thank you again for this."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH8Q7qLF6A
"Anytime Ramon, remember what I said earlier."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJTF6J6KBP
"I know, I'm thinking about it."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7wcAwbTOs
"Good, I'll talk to you later," she says as she walks out.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ikvAFARm
I grab the food tray from the counter and go back outside with it.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1CSb801Ov
"Ooh, what are we having?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP3DnknXKr
"Omelets, french toast, Belgian waffles, and sandwiches," I reply as I set the long tray on the table and sit down.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopCUeRAX8w
"You're going to spoil me rotten Ramon,"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSl9LkNWxy
"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."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaURyatbkF
"Oh, we aren't done yet," I say as I smile and loop my arms around her. "We're going dancing."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrniMCJbLq
"Dancing?" she laughs. "Since when do you dance?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZwJpJYQPg
"Since I've started dating you, princess."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pQbJe73mC
"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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhxnb7xUCQ
"Their family is so lovely," whispers Celestia.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIxmDWdpbL
"I know,"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlmuQxYb1r
"Celestia! How was your lunch?" says Aurora as she looks at us.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdoNdYprWE
"It was wonderful, I just loved your decorations!"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6IlS5NpEd
"Why thank you," she smiles as she lays her head on her husband's chest.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZifIuY0XJ
"Oh! May I hold her?" asks Celestia as she points to Evelyn sitting on the sand.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnzKrdViGZ
"Sure, If she'll let you." Aurora laughs. "She's so clingy to me and doesn't like anyone."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QIBSWi1Rq
"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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFclePB4Mr
292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn7Yu6INZ9
"She must be good with kids," says Aurora as she and Wyatt come up to me.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsFEmSgah5
"I think I just fell in love all over again," I whispered.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ1eDJDykR
"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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9vVQX4lce
"Alright, goodnight Aurora, night Wyatt!"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjgvgjDUXd
"Night."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQL55dUt9N
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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cWynShyrz
"Night night, Princess CC," mutters Mateo.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQu1X5GP1W
"Goodnight cuties," Celestia replies as she lets go of them.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyCPEzvvRe
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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk7G1j4YUp
"It seems that I haven't been getting much attention, but now I have you all to myself."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsd3zqrE1G
"Sorry, I can't help it. Children are so precious," she replies.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdtfr1ZgtU
"It was fine, I loved watching you play with them. It suits you."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgmWnbRLKL
"Whatever do you mean by that?" she questions as I spin her around again as we dance on the sand.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4I7bD46ms
"I mean that you're just good with children, you'd be a great mother too."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbi776qBN2
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-"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2PnHrnAPY
"But?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxq5POGvgZ
"I don't think I could handle carrying one for nine months. I can't even handle my period cramps."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOt9XWeUcJ
"I think you'll be fine. You're a strong woman, and very determined with a drive like none other."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySv5yJWY2j
"You're too sweet Ramon," she blushes as she ducks her head to the side.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PhgjzS1qf
"I have something for you."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzw8ZtICTq
"Another gift? Babe quit spoiling me, you're not gonna like the outcome of it." she laughs.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjAHWxxPE8
"This gift is a special gift."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9bxvXXGfo
"What is it?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fh1Uj8HNw
"Now, it wouldn't be a gift if I told you, would it?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZOUoUDFLK
"I suppose not,"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcze7viel9z
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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7s9wq5qeS
"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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgIPqsPi9V
"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.292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE56yFaImRv
"It's fine if you don't love me back I don't know what I was thinking-"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlvFShtxOL
"But I do." she smiles as she pulls me close and kisses me. "I do love you, Ramon."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KYNCohY3C
"Really?"292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNktGRtgbya
"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."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8pSZeKxep
"God, you don't know how long I've been wanting to hear that from you."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvhin4eqbA
"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."292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF5U6vnYjR
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.
