“I’m sure you’ll understand if we’re a little delayed in answering. We’ll be on our honeymoon just as soon as Emma is finished with her finals,” I say smoothly, and Ted nods.
“Oh, uh, yes of course.” He clears his throat, and the three of us stand. He shakes our hands quickly before he grabs his bags and hurries out the door.
“How in the hell did you get Felipe’s parents to say I was their adopted son?” I turn to Emma with wide eyes, and her smile is wicked.
“Felipe was all too eager to forge his parents’ name. Something about him doing it since kindergarten, but I didn’t ask a lot of questions.”
“I can’t believe you pulled this off. Do you really think he’ll let it go?” I ask as I pull my wife into my arms.
“Zuri said tell the truth, then drop the names. All I had to do was call in a favor with Felipe. So just FYI, we owe him.”
“That asshole owes me about twenty times over.” I lift her off the ground and kiss her quickly. “But I’m glad that we can put this behind us.”
“Apparently we’ve got a honeymoon to get to?” she asks, raising an eyebrow.
“Yep. I plan on making love to my wife on every continent,” I laugh as Emma wraps her legs around my waist and giggles.
“Can we start with this one?” She kisses my neck, and I hum in pleasure.
“Anything you want, baby.”
“I love you, husband,” she says, and I close my eyes, savoring the words.
“I love you too, wife. Now let’s have a quickie before I take you back to class.”
Her laughter fills the empty club as I carry her to a nearby closet.
THE END!
