Chapter 11

“We have invites from my parents. Dinner this weekend.” His tone was casual as he came and sat next to her on the cream leather sofa in his large living room.

“Today is Thursday, Lucas. Were you hoping to bundle me up and put me in the car and take me there?” she asked him impatiently as she turned to face him. It had been two days since she had tentatively agreed to marry him and she had been anxious ever since. She had called Phil but he had not answered and he had not returned her calls. She was going to let him brood a little before cornering him.

“You have a way of arguing over everything and I did not want this to be one of those times.” He reached over to play with the ends of her hair that she had put up into a ponytail. She had stopped arguing about coming over to his apartment even though he wished she stay permanently. Time enough for that when she had his ring on her fingers! “I have something for you.” He reached into the pockets of his loose sweatpants and came out with a soft dark blue velvet box. “I figured we should make it official.”

“It will be official when we stand in front of that guy with the robe and a few hundreds of your closest friends,” she told him sardonically as she stared at the box.

“It’s not going to bite, Jasmine.” With a longsuffering sigh he opened it. Jasmine’s eyes zeroed in on the exquisite pink diamond winking up at her. She did not want to think how much something like that was worth and she certainly was not going to be walking around in the enormously expensive piece of jewelry all around town making herself a target.

“It’s lovely,” she murmured as she looked up at him. “How long?”

“How long what?” He took it out and pulled her left hand to him, securing the ring onto her ring finger. It was a perfect fit!

“How long have you had it?” She could not help but admire how it looked on her finger.

“A couple of weeks now.” He lifted her hand and kissed her fingers. “I figured you would come around eventually.”

“Did you now?” Her voice was deceptively soft as she looked at him.

“I am pretty irresistible and besides I am crazy about you. That should count for something.”

“Maybe.” She pulled her finger away and moved closer to him. His arms closed around her tightly as he rested his head on the top of her head, closing his eyes in relief. “I am not wearing it when I am working,” she murmured drowsily as she breathed in his subtle expensive cologne.

“No problem.” His fingers stroked her back sending heat through the thin red blouse she had worn today. “I figured we could tie the knot in June.”

She shrugged a little. “As long as I just show up to the church. And I am not attending some stupid bridal shower,” she warned.
