Page 45 of Scoring Chance
Scott was a bit uncomfortable with how excited his girlfriend was seeing another man naked. It was a soft blow to his ego. “Now, you don’t have to be there…”
“I get to watch them fuck!” Mariana shot out of her chair and bounced in her Manolo Blahniks. “Oh my gosh! I get to seeitin person! I get to see him in person!” She paced Scott’s office. “I wonder if the legend of his cock is true?”
“Okay, you know I’m still right here?” Scott watched her.
Mariana laid down on the sofa and bounced in it. “I get to see my fantasy in person! This is so exciting!”
Scott crinkled his eyes and briefly pointed to himself before he relaxed his stance. “What?”
“Oh, I see you all the time!” Mariana brushed him off. “Dean is like Thor!”
Scott swallowed his pride and joined his girlfriend on the sofa. “So, would you be interested? It won’t be like aplay party. You’ll have to be very professional. You’ll be Sydney’s liaison. Bobby is going to direct it. I’m thinking about calling Nick and Zerrin to get their input as well. We need to make this look like a performance art piece and not a sex tape. It has the potential of making a lot of money and taking Sydney to heights above and beyond.” He watched Mariana’s face. She still seemed like she was in a daze. “So, are you in?”
Mariana sat up with wide eyes and a wider smile. “I get to watch Thor fuck!”
“I take that as a yes.”

“Have you ever been up here?” Dean snuggled his fiancée from behind.
“No,” Sydney looked around at the Griffith Observatory. She saw all of Los Angeles and was amazed by the sight. They had a tour of the solar system before watching a small film on the big bang theory. Now they were alone, observing nature. “This is so wonderful.”
“I thought you would like it and maybe it’ll inspire you.” Dean kissed Sydney’s neck. She smelled like peaches and strawberries and suddenly he was hungry for them. “How are you feeling?”
“I think you’re right. Coming up here has helped me a lot,” she sniffled, “it’s definitely helped with my summer cold.”
“I mean about the other stuff,” he added, “I know things have been crazy between us.”
“I wasn’t happy at first. To be perfectly honest, I was hella pissed.” Sydney paused for a moment. “And then I realized this will benefit both of us as long as we stopped her.”
“I don’t love her, Syd,” Dean’s voice came out as pleading, “I didn’t even like her half the time. I kept her around because I felt obligated after everything she’d done for me. Now I realize she just used me.”
“It’s not even that that makes me upset.” Sydney shook her head. “I just…I just don’t want to look like a fool in front of the world. I don’t want to go online and see people talk about how you’re with some chick in Atlanta or some hoodrat in Detroit while I’m here in L.A painting away like nothing’s a matter. I don’t want to look like boo-boo the fool.”
“And you won’t,” Dean turned her to face him, “Sydney, I have never wanted another woman since we’ve been together. And it’s crazy because I was never that type to be tied down to just one. Not even in high school. And yet, here am I, willing to give up everything – my cars, my homes, my fortune – just so I can be with you.
“I’ve thought about us and everything we’ve gone through in the almost-year we’ve been together and I finally realized you’re my first love. You’re my true love. I never said I love you to another woman before I met you because I wanted it to be honest and with someone I was passionate about. I don’t take those three little words lightly and I don’t think anyone should for that matter.
“I’m completely raw and naked with you, Syd. I’m willing to embarrass myself in front of the universe to be in solidarity with you,” Dean kissed her forehead, “and I know that last proposal was shitty on epic proportions so here’s a better one.” He kneeled down on one knee and glanced up at his fiancée. “You’re the moon and my stars. You’re my hopes and dreams. Every day with you is like Christmas morning. I would be honored, for the rest of my life, if I were your husband. Sydney Rose, would you marry me?”
Sydney’s eyes watered and she quickly blinked as they fell down her cheeks. “I will! Now and forever!”
Dean stood up, hugged her, and kissed her temple. “I love you, baby.”
“I love you, too, baby.” Sydney whispered back. “But I don’t want to wait.” She glanced up at Dean. “The prenup is signed, and we can have a big fancy wedding next year.”
“What are you saying?” He asked. “You want to get married soon?”
“No,” Sydney shook her head, “I want to get married tonight.”
