Her Undeniable Temptation

It had been two weeks since Zoe got into such an accident and hadn’t opened her eyes. Alex felt bad, sad, miserable, just call it whatever you want to. I’m only Glad that after telling Mr. Zander the entire truth he still didn’t resent me.

It was snowy today and I sat down at the hospital bed with my hand intertwined with Zoe’s. I know how much she cherishes it, “water! Water,” I heard the faint voice of Zoe. I thought I had heard wrong as I placed my ear close to her and just as I heard, Zoe needed water.

I couldn’t console the joy as I rushed to get her some water. I missed her so much and I hope she doesn’t resent me, after taking the water she held my hand into her. “What about your son? I wouldn’t object if you want to be with him please just don’t leave me! I don’t know who I would be without you,” she finally said.

I couldn’t believe she still cared about me after what I had done. I must be lucky because the Goddess had blessed me with my true soul mate, I could notice the tears dripping from her eyes as I used my hand to brush them away.

“I’m so sorry Zoe for hiding the fact that Nelly approached me. She was the girl from the one-night stand, I was willing to tell you everything immediately after the DNA was out. I didn’t know she approached you until Dora told me, “I should be apologizing since we promised no more secrets between us.” I said as I held her both hands in mine.

“The result came out and was negative. I decided to call Nelly and to tell her she got the wrong man when you approached us, I was going to explain everything to you! Then this happened and I regret it.” I continued as I rubbed her hands gently with mine.

“I’m sorry for not listening to you,” she said with more tears from her eyes. “Don’t cry, it’s not your fault,” I said, kissing her on her forehead.

“I love you so much, Zoe,” I said before her parents came rushing inside her ward to hug her tightly. They had always been here taking care of her but I had told them to get some rest while I watch over her.

It had been three days since Zoe woke up and I had made my intention known to her parents that I was ready to marry their daughter and they had given me the Go ahead. Our friends had helped in planning the proposal at the rooftop of the hospital, Zoe’s parents had been with her all day not to make it look suspicious.

It was evening and it was cold. I had told Dora and Bella to make her wear the dress I bought her and again make her come to the rooftop even if it means pushing her up with a wheelchair! She could walk with her legs perfectly well, I was very anxious and had gone as far as setting a dinner table for both of us.

I just wanted this to be perfect.

I waited as I noticed her from afar, she looked so beautiful, and I am sure she must be confused about what was going on. I moved further to her and handed her a flower, “Hey, what’s going on?” she asked in a perplexed manner. “I just wanted to make today memorable for me and you, I have missed you very much,” I said as I perked her on the neck.

“You smell good and most importantly you look ravishing.” I continued as a blush escaped her lips. “I told you not to perk me on the neck, you know how it makes me feel teddy bear,” she said with another blush! Oh, God. I love the way she blushes.

“Can we?” I asked as I led the way to the table, I dragged her chair out like a perfect gentleman before taking my seat. “This smells nice and looks ravishing, I can’t wait to dig in,” she said with a wide grin that made her dimple stand out. “Do you know you have a dimple?” I asked but she twitched her head to signify ‘No’.

“Well, you do and it fits you perfectly,” I mumbled before kissing her on her cheek across the table. “I just feel like I need to stamp my k**s on your dimple,” I said silently that only we both can hear.

“Can I dig in? I am hungry,” she asked, pouting.

“Yeah, why not?” I said as she instantly started digging, she seemed very hungry. “Holy moly, what’s inside my mouth Alex.” She said upchuck the ring from the side desert she took.

“A ring? Am I getting married, Alex?” She asked me with tears as I knelt before her. “Zoe? I might not be the best boyfriend so far but I want you to know that I have always liked you since Bella’s party, you were my first k**s and I cherish that so much till today! I might not be the best you would ever want or ask for but I promise to be the best husband for you, there is nobody capable of making my dreams come true but you! I love you so much Zoe Zander, and nothing can be far from the most assured truth.”

I said as I took her hand in mine before picking the ring and waiting for her to answer. She looked shocked. “It’s fine if you ain’t ready,” I said, not trying to rush things. “That’s not it Alex. I have dreamt of this day all my life, a day where I would Marry the man that I love so much! And yes I would Marry you.” She said as I slid the ring into her hand, I dragged her into my arms as I let our lips do the magic but it was cut short by the audience who kept congratulating us.

1 YEAR LATER

Zoe stared at the wedding picture of both her and the guys who she couldn’t stop her heart from choosing.

He had turned out to be the one. Her husband and she couldn’t believe that she was pregnant with their first baby.

They were expecting twins! girls, Zoe couldn’t ask for a better life but the one with Alex in it and she would love to be with him again if there was going to be a second life! Zoe doesn’t care about what she might go through again but he was her perfect match.

THE END…..
