“I love you too.” I do, with all my heart. I never thought I would be the person I am today. I went through hell to get here, and I may have let Laken go, but London is who I am, who I’m meant to be, and Blake is the reason why. He is my heart, my soul, my happily ever after, and I’d do it all again if my story ended with him.
Epilogue
Three Months Later
Blake
We’re all hanging out in the backyard, celebrating Jax and Kallie’s engagement. He asked her a few weeks ago, but they wanted everyone here for this party, so they waited. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Friends, family, models, photographers, and Kallie’s nieces. Now that Braden is divorced, he doesn’t get to see the girls as often, and that was a big reason why Kallie wanted to wait for the party, to have them here.
When they became engaged, everyone was so excited, like we were the ones getting married. I asked London if she ever thought about marriage, and she said it’s something she would want but not for a while. I’m not saying I bought a ring yet, but I’m also not saying I didn’t see the perfect one.
“Blake, what time did you say the food was being delivered?” London asks. I put down my beer and pull her onto my lap.
“About an hour, baby. Don’t worry. I’ll go inside to get it when it’s time.” She smiles and takes a sip of my beer. When I think back to where I was a year and a half ago, I can’t believe I’m the same person. Every night I had a different girl in my bed, and every morning I made sure she left. I didn’t want a serious relationship. I thought I’d sleep around forever, but then London came crashing into my life and everything changed. I’m a better man because of her, and she knows it because I tell her often. We both had a past, and neither one of us let that stand in the way. I guess that’s why it’s called true love, because you’ll move mountains to make it work.
“Blake, how long have you and London been together?”
I smile at London and look over at Kallie’s mom. “It’s coming up on a year, and the best year of my life.” She smiles and London kisses me.
Kallie, Brinley, and Shannon sit down, and I know I’ve lost the interest of my girl for a bit, so I have her move next to the girls and I walk over to Jax, Brody, Max, and Braden. “Hey, man, great idea getting the food catered. It’s fucking delicious.” They all laugh and I punch Jax.
“Shut the fuck up. Isn’t it the thought that counts?”
Brody shakes his head as he finishes off his beer. “No, that’s shit you tell your kids so they aren’t greedy. What counts here is that we have no food to feed all these people.” I flip him off and he smiles at Jax. “That’s why you aren’t going to be best man.”
Oh, fuck that shit. “Listen, Brody, in order to be best man, you need to be a man, not a pussy. So obviously, my big dick and I will be standing next to him.” Everyone laughs and I just shrug my shoulders.
“Shit, the girls want to go back in the pool. Who wants to bring them in for me?” Even he laughs at the question and walks away to take his daughters back into the pool.
“That man needs to get laid.” I sip my beer and watch him play with his girls. It’s sweet. I mean, I’d love to have a daughter one day, but I’d also still like to fuck her mom.
“Blake, maybe he’s not ready. He had one ugly divorce.”
Yeah, that woman truly is a bitch with a capital slut. “He got divorced, he didn’t lose his dick.” Jax smacks my head as he walks by to get another beer and I flinch. “What the fuck? I’m just saying.”
The girls come walking over, and we start talking about how we all met and how much has changed in the last few years. I never would have thought this would be my life. I mean, I have the sexiest woman, who happens to have a fucking hot body, who writes romance novels with sex. She is by far the best sex I have ever had in my entire life. I mean, how fucking lucky am I? She also has the biggest heart, best personality, and is so full of love.
When she wraps her arms around me and kisses my chest, I can’t wait to take her to bed and show her how much I love her. “Blake, was that the door?”
“Shit.” I rush into the house and London follows me. Thank God, the food is finally here so everyone will stop riding my ass. I open the door and it isn’t the food. It’s a woman. I glance back at London and she shakes her head. Maybe she’s someone on Kallie’s side. I open the door and she stands there staring at me. “Hi. Are you looking for Jax or Kallie?”
She peeks at a piece of paper and then back at me. “Are you Blake Foster?” What the fuck? Who the hell is this, and why is she here for me? London walks up to stand next to me, and I glance at her before turning back to this woman.
“Yes, I am. Who are you?”
She smiles and takes a deep breath. “Hi, Blake. I’m your sister, McKinley Monroe.” What the fuck just happened?
The End
