The Wright One

MIA

Dex has been back for a year now. I can’t believe that things have worked out this way. I think we both missed a lot while we were separated. My parents organized a get together for the family. I think they are taking a page out of the Wright’s book. This seems like way too many people for just us.

However, everyone seems happy. I know that I am. Dex has shown me everyday that I am the woman he wants to be with. If he isn’t at work, then he is by my side. I can’t say that I love his work, but I know that he is good at it. I worry, but nothing has been as bad as that case that almost killed William.

William has become a really close friend to our family. So I see Mia a lot. It’s nice to have another woman that I can lean on who understands how it is.

As a matter of fact they are here too. It just seems odd to me that we would have this many people here for just a family get together.

Everyone has eaten and we are all just enjoying each other’s company.

Dex pulls away from me and whistles to get everyone’s attention.

“Alright, I have something to say. I know that I have screwed up things in my life. I have made some mistakes that I can never make up for. I know a few of you won’t ever let me forget it either. Some of you even have trouble forgiving me for it. I know I have a lot to make up for. But I want to spend the rest of my life doing just that.”

Dex turns to me. Then he drops to both knees. “Mia, you are the love of my life. I made the biggest mistake of my life four years ago. I thank God every day that you have forgiven me enough to let me back in your life. But it isn’t enough. So I am going to be a greedy bastard. Mia, will you marry this poor pathetic man that will love you for the rest of your life. I will never leave, I will never do anything to hurt you. I want to wake up to you every morning and I want to have you be the first person that anyone thinks about when they think about me.”

I smile. “Are you done yet? Or do you have another speech?”

He laughs. “Well?”

“Dex, I have loved you my whole life. Even when I tried to hate you, I couldn’t. I have been waiting for you to man up and ask me for the last year. So, yes, I will marry you, as long as you can promise that I am the one that you will love for the rest of your life.”

Dex stands and pulls a ring from his pocket. He slips it on my finger. “It was my mother’s. I know I should buy you the most expensive ring on the face of the planet because you deserve it. But I can’t do that. All I can do is love you more than anyone is ever going to love you for the rest of your life.”

I smile down at the diamond with two sapphires surrounding it. “It is beautiful. I am honored to wear your mother’s ring.”

When his lips press to mine, we hear the whole place applaud and cheer. Finally after way too long my family is complete.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
