Chapter 369: Wonderful, Wonderful Sleep
Secrets.
When it came to secrets that he was willing to take to the grave, Derek thought that he was done with all of that. He had been willing to die without ever telling a single soul about his insomnia.
When the truth had finally come out, Derek had felt as though a huge weight had been removed from his shoulders and he had made a promise to himself to never ever go back to that. But now it seemed that he would have no choice.
Unlike the insomnia secret, that had had him feeling as though he were weighed down. This new secret had butterflies swimming around in Derek’s stomach, his heart threatening to burst with joy. Before he knew it, his shoulders were shaking and he was laughing.
A proper laugh that had him wiping tears from his eyes when he finally stopped, his sides hurting.
"Mind sharing with the rest of the class," Emily’s voice was full of warmth, clearly she was feeling as content as Derek was. When he had begun laughing, she had been laying next to him on the carpet, her hand in the air as she looked at the ring.
Wiggling her fingers and smiling up at the piece of jewelry. Running her hand over her naked torso Derek pulled her close. Making her giggle, as he peppered the side of her neck with kisses. The two of them were still satisfied after their enthusiastic lovemaking, but Derek could definitely sense another round or two in the near future.
"I just realized that the two of us are going to be the only people who know exactly how I propose to you, and your reaction to it," She raised her head, her brow furrowed in confusion.
"Derek, why on earth would we lie about how we got engaged. Sure it did not have all of the usual fancy stuff that came with engagements but..." He smacked lightly at her bare bottom, and Emily’s eyes widened, her head shooting up as she looked down at their naked bodies. The sheet around their waist did not cover much. Mouth open in a perfect O, she looked up at Derek and he couldn’t help but laugh again.
