Angel’s POV
“I’m pretty sure I will never hear this song like a normal person again” I said dryly.
We were riding back to Snow, hand in hand, listening to music and telling each other our favorite songs to play. It was his turn, and I cannot believe he chose that song.
It was Stay by Justin Bieber.
He gave me one of his sexy, smug smiles as he said playfully “It’s exactly why It’s my favorite. I’ll always listen to it and remember the first time my heart started beating for you, Angel. Come on! It’s a happy song, it could even be our song”
“No! It can never be our song” I objected in a horrified tone.
“You freaked the hell out of me back then Lucas. I was scared shitless of you. That’s not a happy memory to hold on to” I said with a pout.
He laughed under his breath and said lightly “Fine, you’re totally right to hate it. It’s completely written off my favorite Playlist. But we do need a song that we can call ours”
I smile mysteriously as a song pops into my head, and I know without a doubt that that will be our song from this moment onward, because I’m about to pour my heart and soul into it.
“I have the perfect song. Play Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran” I told him with a grin on my face.
He complied right away, and interestingly didn’t give me any reaction, which led me to ask “You don’t know it, do you?”
“No, I only know The Shape Of You from this singer” he said firmly.
“You’re gonna love it then” I said softly.
I felt so satisfied that he doesn’t know it, it made it all the more special.
The intro started and I began singing along. My voice was pretty decent. Maybe not as sexy as his, but it could be heard without eliciting any grimaces and urges to cover one’s ears.
My favorite part came and I looked at him lovingly as I sang it from my very soul:
“And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am”
I went all out with the chorus, maintaining eye contact with him the whole time.
To say he was blown away by my choice of song, would be a total understatement.
It was a miracle we didn’t get into a car accident because Lucas was gazing at me the whole entire time I was singing with an awed expression on his face.
I felt relieved when he swerved the car to the right and parked it because I was seriously starting to fear for our lives.
But he left me surprised when he exited the car and left me alone during the instrumental part without any indication to what was going on in his mind.
Next thing I know, he came over to my side, opened my door, and gave me his open palm to take it.
With confusion, I took it and he pulled me out of the car, darted half inside to turn the volume to the highest level and then faced me, spinning me around professionally before pulling me to him and slamming me hard into his chest with a force that made me gasp.
“Keep singing baby, your angelic voice is playing straight through my heart strings” he said sensually in my ear.
I blushed deeply and complied, singing along to the lyrics while he kept falling harder and harder for me with each letter I sing to him while we sway to the music, hand in hand, my other one on his shoulder while his other hand is holding me possessively to him by the waist.
I could see it written all over his face. How much he understood that this was my love confession to him. He was emotional. Gazing at me like I just gave him the entire freaking world. Making me feel so much special and so much loved to the point of making me tearful.
The road was pretty much deserted but I could imagine how weird we look, parked at the side of the road dancing like two people who lost their damn minds. But I didn’t care about anything else other than this perfect, amazing, hell of a man. The one I just said I love you to from the bottom of my heart.
The song ended and I didn’t waste a second as I put my hands around his neck and said emotionally and loudly “I love you so much, Lucas”
He cupped my face tenderly and said so lovingly “And I’m the luckiest man alive that you do, Angel. So damn blissed. I love you so much… so fucking much”
He took me into his loving arms, he kissed me under the light of a thousand stars (or suns, in this case), I placed my head on his beating heart, and we thought out loud, how maybe we found love right where we are.
We kissed each other till we were satisfied and begging for a breath before we went back to the car and continued our sweet road trip back home.
As we parked the car by the front yard, Lucas turned to me and said gently while kissing the back of my hand tenderly, making me shiver in the process “That song is definitely ours, Angel. I’ll never hear that song like a normal person again”
I smiled as he said back my words to him from earlier.
“Neither will I, trust me” I said emotionally “It was you who made it so special, your reaction to it and what you did during that song that made it so memorable, Lucas”
“Let’s break the great news to our family, shall we?” he said gently and I melted at his use of ‘our family’.
We walked together hand in hand and stood by the front door, waiting for someone to open it after I rang the bell. It was almost five minutes to eight, we were just in time.
Jenny opened the door and her smile widened so much as well as her eyes, she squealed in excitement and jumped up in her place “Does that mean what I think it does?”
We both chuckled at her very happy reaction while Lucas said with a smile “Depends on what you’re thinking”
We both walked inside as Jenny closed the door behind us and turned back to us with excitement “I’m thinking you two buried the hatchet and hooked up together. Your faces are practically glowing with post sex radiance”
“You’re getting bold, Jenny. Is that my effect or your husband’s” Lucas snorted while I became red like a tomato. Is it really that obvious?
“She’s only getting back at you for the countless dirty comments you threw our way when it was us who came back glowing” said Alex smugly from behind me as he approached us and stood next to his wife, his hand sneaking behind her back to hold her tightly to him.
“Give me your best shot, Jenny. You can’t match me honey” he said playfully.
Jenny rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly “I know I can never match you, no one has a dirtier mind than you… but I can sure as hell try”
She got that right.
“It’s already working on someone else” drawled Alex sarcastically with a side smile as he looked at me.
They all turned to look at me and I swear, my face became hotter right then.
“Don’t let them affect you baby, there’s nothing to be shy about” he whispered seductively in my ear.
“Angelina!” April squealed and ran over to hug me very tightly. I hugged her back just as tightly while she gushed in excitement “I knew Lucas was going to convince you! I knew it! I’m so happy you came back!”
I giggled at her reaction and said gleefully “I’m happy too, April. I’m so glad to have you all welcome me back so warmly”
“Of course we would Angelina. You’re a part of our family. Come here” Diana said tearfully from the living room entrance with open arms.
I ran over to her and hugged her very emotionally, burying my face in her chest.
“Tell me you’re here to stay please” she whispered in my ear.
“I am”
“Today is very special already with you coming back to settle down with us. Come on, let’s take this celebration to the dining table, you two must be starving” she said brightly is she broke the hug, cupped my face, and kissed me on both cheeks tenderly before we followed everyone to the dining table.
I sat next to Jenny, which is my new permanent place on this table from now on.
“So that was so freaking fast bro. I thought it would at least take you a few days to bring her back” teased Alex.
“What can I say? I’m irresistibly charming” he said with a wink in my direction.
Arrogant bastard! At least that didn’t change. He still can annoy the hell out of me.
Alex turned to me and said tauntingly “I thought Lucas is a royal pain in the ass and you can’t imagine who in her right mind can catch feelings for him or have any sort of attraction to him for that matter…what happened to that girl?”
“She lost her damn mind and fell in love with him, deeply” I said back confidently.
Lucas gazed at me so lovingly, he could almost scream ‘I love you’ with only a mere look and still manage to steal my breath away.
That made everyone smile contentedly, on top of which was Diana who was looking between us with so much love and affection, leaving no doubt within me that she just gave me her complete blessing to be with her son.
