My Lovely Girl… - Chapter 26

“Andy?” Blake said. “Mmm…” Andy said. “Let’s get married.” Blake said smiling. “Oh, tomorrow maybe. The priest might be sleeping already.” Andy said then giggled. They always joke about getting married. The first time Blake said it to her, she thought that he was really proposing but when he laughed, she immediately spanked him.

“Have you invited the Torres riders about your restaurant’s opening next week”? Andy asked. “Yeah, I also called your parents, Uncle Marc, and Uncle Derek. Blake said. “Is everything settled?” Andy asked. “Not all.” Blake said. Andy furrowed her brow. “What do you mean?” Andy asked. “I still don’t have the name.” Blake said smiling. “Can you suggest one?” Blake continued. Andy kept quiet. “I can’t think of anything. My mind is only thinking of you.” Andy said winking at Blake. Blake smiled.

After sending Andy home. Blake laid in his bed but didn’t sleep yet. He was thinking, thinking thoroughly. A plan of spending his whole life with Andy. He smiled and decided to close his eyes to rest for the night.

Andy, Mr. and Mrs. Torres, Uncle Marc, Uncle Derek, Liam and the rest of the gang, all of them were gathered at Bona Fide. Tonight is the opening of Blake’s restaurant. They’ve talked that they’ll go there at the same time. Blake and his family were already there to supervise the said event.

“Let’s go.” Andy said excitedly.

Andy’s group arrived. They were welcomed by the Cortez family. “Blake, your restaurant is beautiful.” Mrs. Torres said. “Amica Mea? Where did you get that name?” Mrs. Torres continued. “Auntie, it means “My Love”. Amanda said looking at Andy. “Oh!” Mrs. Torres said smiling.

They all went inside but Andy was left behind. Blake moved towards her. “Did you like it?” Blake asked. “These was my dream restaurant. You really built it?” Andy said with teary eyes. Blake hugged her. “Don’t cry. I thought you will like it but why you’re crying?” Blake asked. “Tears of joy. Thank you.” Andy said and hugged Blake back. Blake smile.

All of them have eaten their dinner. They were all listening to the accoustic band playing infront while sipping their wines and having conversations with each other.

After a love song, the vocalist called Blake to speak infront of his guests.

“Good evening, everyone. First of all, thank you for coming and joining me as I opened my Amica Mea. To my parents and sister, thank you. To my girlfriend’s parents and my Torres riders, thank you. Uncle Marc and Uncle Derek, thank you. And of course, my inspiration in building this restaurant, my love, Andy. Actually, the interior and the exterior designs was actually her idea.” Blake said smiling. The air was filled with teasing screams. Andy blushed.

Amanda pulled Andy on her seat, escorting her to Blake. Andy with a puzzled face walked towards Blake. Blake was still holding the microphone but looking nervously to Andy. The couple are now facing each other. Blake’s hands were very cold and his heart was beating too fast.

“Andy, when I wake up, the first thing I want to see is your face. When I eat, I want to eat with you. When I go to work, I want to go with you. When I go home, I want you to be there. When I sleep, I want you to be by my side.” Blake said continuously. “You are the one who will complete me. I want you. I need you. I love you.” Blake said. Andy was looking intently to him. Her heart was beating fast. Her whole body was feeling cold. All of a sudden, Blake kneeled. Andy had an “O” in her mouth and her eyes started to well up with tears.

“Will you marry me, my lovely girl?” Blake said, in his hand was a ring with an infinity design with diamonds around it. Andy’s tears started to fall. She couldn’t speak because of her sobs. She touched Blake’s face and only nodded. Blake stood up and put the ring on her hand. They embraced each other tightly. And then the clapping of hands followed. The ladies were all teary eyed and the men were smiling widely. They were very happy to see that the two persons they loved will walk down the aisle and will happily ever after….
