I gasped and my eyes got all watery. I slapped my hand in front of my mouth and shook my head.
No, this isn’t happening. Is it?
“I don’t care that I’m hurt. That I’m in this hospital, that I’m in this bed, that I was hunted for my money and that you endangered yourself. Well, okay, we’ve got to work on that last bit, but still, I just want you to be mine.” He smiled and I chuckled from his comment. “I need you in my life, Julie. You’re the only one for me, my perfect match.”
Dominic looked at me and saw me glance at the people behind me, stopping to gaze at his bare behind. They were also cheering him on.
“I don’t give a damn if these people are staring at my asshole right now, let them look,” he said, and I laughed. “Hell, I could be naked, for all I care. I want the world to see how much I love you.”
He grabbed my hand and held out the ring. “Will you marry me?”
I shook from tears and started nodding frantically. He pushed the ring around my finger, wincing from the pain in his stomach as he tried his best to maintain his pose.
“Yes!” I cried and went down on my knees, too, so I could bury him in my arms.
We stayed on the floor, hugging each other for the world to see. I wanted to be his eternally. I couldn’t imagine myself with anyone else anymore. This was what I needed and wished for all along. Dominic and I were going to stick together, and nothing, not even death, could tear us apart.
The End
