"What did you say?" she asked, dumbfounded.
"I said, marry me," he rolled on his side and looked at her. They were on a beach, more of an island he owns.
Her family won't be here until next week, with her nephews and nieces still about to take their finals. She sat up abruptly, causing her to feel a sudden sense of dizziness.
He sat up as well, his arms steadying her as he gazed into her eyes, "Baby are you okay? You look unwell."
"Yes, and for good reasons! You can't just say something so shocking and expect me to remain calm," she felt like she will vomit, like her stomach was churning.
She can't explain it, for goodness' sake! He must be completely out of his mind. How can he blurt out something like that after having sex the whole night?
He frowned as she grabbed the towel that has been discarded on the sand when they started with their rendezvous.
