Chapter 17 - 17

Megan feels her heart race as he held her so close to him. She didn't realize she missed being in his arms this much.

"Thank you Roman."

His voice grows softer and he leans forward as he whispers into her ear with a bright smile. She could feel his body heat radiating around her and he gently kisses her neck. The warm feeling was intoxicating and she was feeling overwhelmed by his tender gestures of affection. He wanted to make her feel special and she definitely was feeling that in this moment.

"You don't have to thank me. It's the least I can do. You are so special to me and it's important to me that you know just how much I care for you."

"I definitely missed this feeling." She smiles, "and I care for you too."

He grins and he gently rubs the sides of her neck. The feeling of her slender body in his arms was pure bliss. He could stay in this moment with her forever as it felt like time had slowed down and nothing existed beyond the two of them. He whispers softly in her ear once again, his voice filled with deep affection and tenderness. He was completely entranced by her.

"You have no idea just how much I've missed this feeling too."

Realizing how things were getting heated Megan moves away from him rushing to the table that was decorated with flowers and Champaign and wine.

"We should drink and take in the view...it's So beautiful tonight." Megan says trying to make things more light hearted again.

He chuckles when she pulls away from him quickly and his facial expression grows playful as he watches her. She really was doing her best to keep things light hearted.

He takes a deep breath and he straightens himself up. She's right..it was getting a bit heated and the setting he prepared for her was absolutely beautiful to behold. He nods and he smiles as he speaks. "That sounds like a great idea...I'll pour you a glass and we can toast."

Megan smiles feeling glad he was playing along with her. "I would love that."

He pours her a glass of champagne and hands it to her. He then pours himself a glass as well and he raises hers up to hers as he looks at her with soft eyes. "To our reunion and to the memories we have yet to make together. May our future be both bright and beautiful as we embrace it," He speaks softly as she raises her glass. He wanted it to be a special moment between the two of them and the thought of her in his future made him very happy.

She smiles widely at him. His words made her excited. She wanted them to make memories together. To be together and to have a real relationship.

"That was beautifully said."

He smiles at the compliment and he takes a sip of his glass of Champaign. The way she smiled at him and the way she spoke to him was making his blood boil. She was just too beautiful. He wanted it to be this way forever and he wanted to love her for all of eternity.

Megan smiles feeling happy until Her eyes glance down at his hands and that's when she realized his knuckles were covered in bandaids.

"What happened?"

He blinks and he glances down and sees what she was talking about. His knuckles were indeed covered in a few bandaids and he realized that they were still quite visible. He clears his throat and he chuckles trying to play it off and change the subject.

"Oh...I just had to sort out some matters...it was nothing important at all."

Megan knew things like this must be common for him but it still broke her heart to see him hurt. She had told herself not to care and think about his world but sometimes it's hard to ignore everything.

"You had to dissapear because of your work right?"

He looks back at her with soft eyes and he nods his head.

"Work was a big part of it but it wasn't all of it. Things just got really intense for me and that's all there is to it. I just had to take care of the more serious matters and I was hoping you wouldn't worry about me too much."

He smiles slightly and he chuckles softly as he stares at her. "And I care for you even more. I don't know what I would do if you were injured or in danger. It would be impossible for me not to worry." 

As he finishes speaking, he glances at her glass of champagne and he sees that it's practically empty. He raises an eyebrow and he shakes his head with a playful grin. "Another one?"

"Yes please!"

He chuckles at her excitement as he finishes his own champagne and he pours her another glass. He hands her the glass and he speaks softly as he smiles at her.

"Just be careful okay? I mean I wouldn't want to have to carry you back home if you get too intoxicated." He chuckles again as he gives her a teasing look.

"Don't tease me. I can handle it." Megan says confidently but after 30 minutes she was sleeping on the table. She was snoring lightly as she slept.

Roman stares at her as she sleeps on the table and he feels so amused at her. She was so cute and she looked absolutely stunning. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he pulls out his phone and he takes a picture of her. The way her head was lying on the table was so adorable and he couldn't just let this moment pass without preserving it forever. The smile on her face was so sweet. He wanted to make her happy forever.

Megan suddenly sits up, "I'm not drunk!" She said clearly drubk. She struggled to get up and walks over to him. She cups his face with a smile on her face, "Why...Why? Haven't you asked me yet huh?"

Her sudden movement made him jump a bit as he was not expecting it. Her question made him think for a bit. She might be drunk but she was absolutely right. He should've asked her by now instead of dragging it out. 

He smiles softly as he speaks. "You are right...I should have asked you by now and I apologize for that. Megan I have something to ask you...will you be my girlfriend?"

Megan smiles before pressing her lips against his.
