Chapter 345: proposal
Jules
I was too stunned to speak. I blinked multiple times to ensure that I wasn’t dreaming, and that this was actually happening. When I glanced sideways at Kim, he was beaming and I realized that this had been planned behind my back, in order to surprise me.
"It wasn’t easy to do this without you having an idea. Just so you know. Keeping things from you was hectic but it ended up being successful!" Kim gasped out excitedly and I glanced between him and Blaze a few times, still feeling too shocked to form a word.
"Go on in."
Kim gently shoved me at my waist till I stepped into the room.
Once I stepped in, Kim closed the door behind me, leaving Blaze and I to ourselves. The realization that I was being proposed to dawned on me all over again and my eyes instantly watered when it locked with Blaze’s this time, and as I began to walk towards him, it felt like my heart was about to beat out of my chest from how fast it was racing.
Blaze was smiling brightly and that made a watery laugh escape my lips as I finally stopped before him. Even with him being on his knees, I wasn’t that taller than him. I stepped even closer to him, sucking in a deep breath as I reached down to cup his face. His hands automatically wrapped around my waist and he tugged me against him, burying his face against my chest to inhale deeply.
"Fuck, I’ve missed this." He sighed out as he inhaled again and I shivered as his hands mapped every inch of my back. He was touching me like it’s been years since we last saw each other, even though it has actually just been three days.
"I missed you so much." I whispered as I combed my fingers through his hair and when he peered up at me, my breath hitched in my throat for a moment as he leaned forward to nuzzle my stomach through my shirt.
"I can’t believe I’m being proposed to." I whispered this time, voice shaking a little while I sniffed. Blaze only grinned at me, one that made him more handsome than normal.
"I told you I was gonna make you my husband soon, didn’t I? Even though we’ve discussed marriage and are already technically married, I still want to do it the traditional way, like I remember telling you about, which is why this proposal is important." He explained, sounding very earnest and my heart squeeze tightly in my chest as I nodded, throat suddenly feeling too tight to speak.
"Now, let me just..." he trailed off to loosen his hold from my waist to hold the ring up for me again, then he cleared his throat loudly.
