Ash

I could have taken Gabriella home with me, but I was going to court her—show her we were more than a fling. As much as I kept my personal life private, I was known as a bit of a playboy in my circle of friends. Jax trusted me, if he didn’t, he wouldn’t have given me his blessing to take her out, but I still felt like I had something to prove.

After dropping her off, I went home and sat out on my balcony with a whiskey in hand. My phone vibrated, and I hoped it was Gabriella, but it was Jax.

Jax: My sister can’t stop smiling. I haven’t seen her this happy in a long time.

It pleased me to know I was the reason why she was so happy.

Ashton: What can I say? I am totally likable. Get ready to call me brother.

I was teasing Jax, but after I looked over what I sent, I realized the thought of being with Ella forever sounded great. Looking out over toward the beach and the water, I thought about what it would be like to relax with her on the beach after a long week of working. Would she draw the ocean? Would she build a castle with a child? Thoughts of Ella being the mother of my children swirled in my head. Until her, I didn’t ever picture myself getting married or having kids, and here I was, after only our first official date, picturing a life that only happened in fairy tales.

Jax: You and Preston as brother-in-laws? What did I do to deserve that?

I downed my whiskey in one gulp and walked back into the house. My feelings for Gabriella were deep, deeper than I felt for anyone, but marriage, kids? Could that be our end game? I didn’t have the best role models when it came to marriage. My parents loved each other, that I knew, but because of his lifestyle, my dad wasn’t faithful. I saw what it did to my mom. My aunt and uncle, to the public, looked like the perfect couple, but behind closed doors, it was different. Work was the love of my uncle’s life, not my aunt.

Deciding I needed to get out of my own head, I pushed all thoughts of marriage and kids out of my mind. One day at a time, I thought. No one could predict what the future held.

After crawling into bed and debating for several minutes, I decided to tell Ella goodnight.

Ashton: Good night, Gabriella. I can’t wait to go out again.

I hit send and didn’t expect a response since it was late, but a few minutes later, my phone dinged.

Gabriella: Thank you, Ash, for everything. Tonight was perfect.
