The Wright One

MIA

Dex has been back for a year now. I can’t believe that things have worked out this way. I think we both missed a lot while we were separated. My parents organized a get together for the family. I think they are taking a page out of the Wright’s book. This seems like way too many people for just us.

However, everyone seems happy. I know that I am. Dex has shown me everyday that I am the woman he wants to be with. If he isn’t at work, then he is by my side. I can’t say that I love his work, but I know that he is good at it. I worry, but nothing has been as bad as that case that almost killed William.

William has become a really close friend to our family. So I see Mia a lot. It’s nice to have another woman that I can lean on who understands how it is.

As a matter of fact they are here too. It just seems odd to me that we would have this many people here for just a family get together.

Everyone has eaten and we are all just enjoying each other’s company.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Dex pulls away from me and whistles to get everyone’s attention.

“Alright, I have something to say. I know that I have screwed up things in my life. I have made some mistakes that I can never make up for. I know a few of you won’t ever let me forget it either. Some of you even have trouble forgiving me for it. I know I have a lot to make up for. But I want to spend the rest of my life doing just that.”

Dex turns to me. Then he drops to both knees. “Mia, you are the love of my life. I made the biggest mistake of my life four years ago. I thank God every day that you have forgiven me enough to let me back in your life. But it isn’t enough. So I am going to be a greedy bastard. Mia, will you marry this poor pathetic man that will love you for the rest of your life. I will never leave, I will never do anything to hurt you. I want to wake up to you every morning and I want to have you be the first person that anyone thinks about when they think about me.”

I smile. “Are you done yet? Or do you have another speech?”

He laughs. “Well?”

“Dex, I have loved you my whole life. Even when I tried to hate you, I couldn’t. I have been waiting for you to man up and ask me for the last year. So, yes, I will marry you, as long as you can promise that I am the one that you will love for the rest of your life.”

Dex stands and pulls a ring from his pocket. He slips it on my finger. “It was my mother’s. I know I should buy you the most expensive ring on the face of the planet because you deserve it. But I can’t do that. All I can do is love you more than anyone is ever going to love you for the rest of your life.”

I smile down at the diamond with two sapphires surrounding it. “It is beautiful. I am honored to wear your mother’s ring.”

When his lips press to mine, we hear the whole place applaud and cheer. Finally after way too long my family is complete.
