His Proposal

His Proposal - 93

It starts to get a bit cold at 7:30 pm, while we're on the boat. I walk inside the cabin and put on my jumper.

Leila follows me in and she also puts a jumper on. She smiles. "You're brother is so cute.  I thought he would have been older than eighteen."

Nate turns eighteen the day after tomorrow.

I don't have anything for his birthday. I will have to go to the store tomorrow and buy him something. I don't want him to think; because of everything that's happened that I forgot his birthday, even though I kind of did. I feel like I'm the worst sister ever.

Leila places a hand on my shoulder. "Whatever you're thinking can't be that bad. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Sure," I sit on the lounge that's closest to me and Leila sits next to me. "I forgot that my brothers birthday is coming up and I didn't get him anything."

She looks out the door where all the guys are standing. "He won't think that. He knows you have a lot on your plate right now. I wouldn't be surprised if he's forgotten all about it himself."

"I don't want to take the chance that he forgets his birthday."

Leila whispers. "Have you taken the pregnancy test yet?"

"No," I look at my hand. "I'm going to take it tomorrow." I turn towards her. "Were you pregnant when you took the test?"

Leila looks Ace and her face falls. A tear falls down her face. "The test was negative. A couple of days later I got my period." She takes a deep breath. "I wanted to be pregnant."

Ace walks through the door at that moment and he moves right over to Leila and he wipes the tears off her face. He kisses her and says. "You will get pregnant when the time is right, princess." He kisses the top of her head. "I'm looking forward to the day you come home and tell me that you're pregnant with our child. Until then let's enjoy ourselves. Once kids are involved our lives will go down the toilet."

She hits him. "Ace,"

Jai walks into the room and he looks between Leila, Ace and I. "What did I miss."

I point at Ace. "He just said once kids are involved that your life goes down the toilet." I touch my stomach. "My life is going to become better with this child." I wrap my arms Jai and I kiss him.

Nate enters the room and he looks at us. "The sunset is out there not in here. Also, are we going to eat soon I'm starving."

I hit the back of Nate's head. "Where are your manners?"

He looks at the wharf.  "I left it back on land." His stomach rumbles. "Sis, you know a football player like me needs heaps of food."

Yeah, I do. Soon I won't have to worry about buying enough food to feed an army. It will be Jai and me.

Jai holds me. He whispers. "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about how quiet our house will be for the next couple of months, with Nate going off to school." He lifts me up and carries me to the bedroom. When he puts me down I whisper. "I'm kind of scared."

He puts his arms on the wall beside me, blocking me in. "You know I won't do anything to hurt you."

I pull him towards me. "I know." I kiss him slowly at first and then the kiss turns heated.

There's a knock on the door. "You can't hide in there all night," Leila says.

Jai opens the door and we step out. He looks at her. "You could have given us ten minutes."
