Falling For You In Cape May

TWENTY SEVEN

Maine

"I love you."

I heard RJ whispering in my ear. I slowly open my eyes, squinting from the ray of sunshine that is peeking through the curtains.

He's not awake. I think he's dreaming. I wonder what he's dreaming about. I thought of the memories yesterday. A lot has happened, it is quite overwhelming but for some reason I didn't feel scared.

RJ is right, I've never felt so calm and peaceful too, not until I met him. For me, probably it's also because I feel secured when I am with him.

I touch my belly and let out a deep breath. I can't believe I am pregnant with RJ's baby. I can't believe that a baby is growing inside me now. I really hope that the test result is accurate and not a false alarm.

I am already attached to the unborn baby inside me.

And then I realized something, something cold touched my belly. I lifted my hand and there it is, my beautiful Tiffany engagement ring. I smiled.  This is the first time I am seeing it in daylight. The stone is big, probably a 2.5.  My dear fiancé did a very good  job choosing my ring.

I still can't believe that RJ proposed to me last night. Out of all the women he was partnered with, those beautiful women, he chose me.

He chose me!

Me!

Simple, geeky, dorky me!

He put a ring on my finger!

Well, he did say I am beautiful, smart and sexy as hell! I giggled at the thought.

"Hmmm. Someone is happy." I heard RJ mumbling on my shoulders.

I turn to look at him. He gathers me in his arms and I am soon cocooned against him.

I nibbled his neck and started running my fingers up and down his sculpted stomach.

I hear him groan and grin.

He slowly shifts and turns onto his back and I kiss his chin. I look up into sleepy, amused eyes.

"Good morning, handsome."

"Well, good morning, beautiful."

Suddenly I'm flat on my back and RJ has laced his fingers in mine and pulls both my hands above my head. He kisses my neck and my chin, and moves his hands down my arms to cup my head in his hands.

"How are you this morning?" He whispers against my mouth and rubs his nose back and forth on mine.

"I'm good."

"You don't feel any symptoms yet?" He kisses my jaw and I sigh.

"Nope, none of those yet." I tell him and I tilt my head, giving him better access.

"Good." He whispers.

I smile and run my hands down his back. "I can't believe pregnancy symptoms talk is sexy."

He leans up to look down at me again and I cup his cheek in my hand.

"How are you?" I ask.

"I am happy, very happy."

I smile at his honest reply.

"I am glad."

"Oh babe, this feeling and this smile will never ever leave my face, because I know you will be forever mine."

"You are quite charming this morning Mr. Faulkerson."

He smiles down at me.

"You are beautiful in the morning my fiancée."
