She smiled at him, staring at him. "It's awesome Demilade that you thought about me and for this... I don't even have an idea of what to say." She paused as the back of her eyes began to pool with tears. "This is one of the happiest days of my life. I don't even know how to say thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. I did it because I love you and you mean the world to me." He answered staring at her affectionately.

"But...you make me feel special. I don't even know how I got so lucky to have someone like you. It's just..." A line of tears formed on her face as the tears that were gathered in her eyes fell down her cheek. "I'm excited. I feel euphoric right now. And I don't know how to express it and appreciate it."

Demilade just smiled. He used his palms to wipe away the tears streaming down her face. It was the second time that day.

"Stop crying. I feel the same as you. I might not have shown it. But I do feel the same. How can't I? You accepted my proposal to spend the rest of your life with me. You are also proud of what I gave to you. I've got to be the luckiest guy on planet Earth right now." He told her, sincerely. He brushed away the tears that were streaming down her face again and he pulled her into a hug. "It's fine."

He patted her back soothingly.

"It's fine." He muttered close to her ears.

She pulled away, nodding her head; smiled at him with affection and admiration. Then she used the neckline of her nightrobe to clean her tears, sniffling.

"I'm such a crybaby, ain't I?" She asked with a chuckle.

Demilade chuckled too. Then he gently raised her head from her jaw so she could look up at him.

"Uhmm. But that is just one of the parts I like about you." A broad smile spread across her face at his reply. He leaned down and covered the distance between them, wrapping a hand around her waist and the other cupping her nape.

Their breath mingled in an intimate whisper. The smell of him was hypnotic beyond reason. He kissed softly on her lips, tilting his head sideways. She felt herself responding to his every touch. She parted her lips when he ran his tongue on her lower lips and felt him washing over her like a wave of warmth. She curled her hand around his nape and arched closer. She moaned quietly when his hand moved to the small of her back and the other up to her hair.

She released another moan when his hand came into contact with her naked thigh. She felt him smile on her lips but then she end it and slowly pulled away. Their face were inches apart from each other. She kissed him back on his lips shortly and break the kiss again, with a smirk on her face when she heard Demilade groan.

Demilade reluctantly pulled away. He understood the motive behind the smirk and why she broke the kiss but he let her have her way and didn't bother urging her.

"Come here." He gestured for her to come closer. She did, lifting her legs to the couch. She folded them across each other and she cuddled closer to Demilade embrace. He placed a hand across her waist, tracing soft lines and circle on her hip.

"Today was quite hectic," Lola said as she closed her eyes. She was already tired and sleepy from the day's events. Demilade responded with a hum. "And pretty amazing." Demilade nodded.

"Yes."

"Today is my best birthday ever. It was beautiful and so memorable." Her face curled into a smile. "I was engaged," She chuckled lightly with her eyes still closed. "It was mostly because of you Demilade."

"You deserve all the best. And as long as I can, I will give you the best." He replied, brushing her braided hair with his hand.

Lola smiled to herself.
