She admires it for a minute before she does the same for me. She brings her mouth back down on mine after that as we slowly pull each other’s clothes off. I carry her to our bedroom and lay her down, spending the rest of the night worshipping her body.

I wonder how fast we can plan a wedding. She did a lot of stuff with Aspen and Adeline’s wedding so I’m hoping that we can have a short engagement. I have one more surprise for her but that will have to wait another couple of days.

CHAPTER 13

Bianca

One Year Later…

I rundown the stairs and across the street to Adeline’s house. Bryson bought us a townhouse right next to Aspen’s and surprised me with it a couple days after I proposed. We sold both of our apartments and moved in right after that.

We got married a month after I proposed and left for a two-week honeymoon in Bali right after that. I still work at the coffee shop with Aspen and Bryson still does half of his work out of the corner table. My life might not have turned out anything like what my parents wanted but it’s perfect for me. I’ve never been happier.

Brad Mikales was arrested and the trial was just last month. We had enough evidence from my case to convict him and another four girls came forward with evidence that he had stalked them too and that his dad, the judge, had helped him cover it up. His father was investigated and found guilty for helping to bury their cases and his son was convicted as well. He’ll be in jail for the next five years and he’ll have to take some rehab courses to learn how to act properly.

I run into Adeline’s house and greet Quiche before I head up the stairs to her bedroom. I run straight to her bathroom and find Aspen and Adeline already there.

“Did you get it?” I ask excitedly.

“Yeah.” Aspen says with a nervous smile on her face.

“Are you ready? I’ve been drinking water all morning so I am more than ready to go.” Adeline says with a smile as she dances from foot to foot.

I laugh at that, giddy with excitement and nerves.

“Who wants to go first?” I ask as Aspen passes out the pregnancy tests.

“There’s three bathrooms. Why don’t we go at the same time then we can all check the results together?” Aspen says.

“Dibs on this one!” Adeline says.

I look at Aspen and we both bolt into the other bedrooms to their bathrooms.

“Ok, ready?” Addy shouts.

I laugh as I rip open the test. “Ready!” Aspen and I call back.

We do the test and then all run back into the master bathroom with the sticks, placing them side by side on the counter. Addy set a timer and we shift from foot to foot anxiously as we wait for it to go off. Finally, it goes off and Addy stops it. We all look down at the tests before we look back at each other.

“Same time?” I ask.

They nod and we each grab our test stick.

“One.” I say,

“Two.” Says Aspen.

“Three!” Adeline says.

We flip the tests over and I hold my breath as I look down. We got the Clearblue ones that say not pregnant or pregnant with how many weeks along you are. I look down at the screen.

Pregnant. 2-3.

I grin as I look up to Addy and Aspen.

“PREGNANT!” We all scream at the same time.

“Ah!” We scream as we hold each other and jump around.
