Hunter’s pov

I couldn’t listen to her when she told me to leave. I didn’t have the strength to walk away from her. It just couldn’t end like this. She needed to know how much I loved her. I poured my heart out. I pulled out the ring box I had in my pocket and handed it to her for her to open. I know we still had a lot to talk about and work on. We will get to all of that but for now she needed to know just how serious I was about her.

“CeeCee I love you so much. Please don’t go back home and marry some stranger. Give us a chance. Baby will you marry me?”

“Hunter, I love you so much, but I don’t think either of us is ready for marriage just yet. There is still just too much we need to still figure out.”

“I know your right. I won’t push you into anything so think of it as a promise ring. A promise of things to come. Please just at least give us a chance to work. I swear that I will never hurt you again. I will never make you feel unwanted.”

“I want to give us another try.”

Hearing her say that made me so happy. It did scare me that she didn’t feel we were ready to get married yet. Did she not see a future with me? I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, but for now I would just be happy getting a second chance at being with her.

“So, what are we going to do about this marriage that your dad and family are planning for you?”

“Leave my dad and my family to me. Once I’m done here I will go back home and talk to them.”

“No baby we will talk to everyone together. It’s time everyone knows about us. You don’t have to do everything alone anymore.”

I hated when she told me she felt as if I was ashamed of her. I was the one to blame for her having those thoughts in her head. I made her doubt us, doubt me. I never wanted her to feel alone again. I never wanted her to question if I lover her or not. I would gladly spend the rest of my life showing her just how special she is to me.

“I love you Hunter.”

“Baby girl I am so sorry I ever made you feel like I was ashamed to be with you. Fame has caused me to lose so damn much. I never wanted it to take you away from me too. I love you so much. More then you’ll ever know but I will spend every day trying to prove it to you.”

“Now that we have talked I understand everything now. So, now that you’re no longer modeling what does your future hold?”

“Well besides having you by my side I was thinking since I have a degree in business management, so I thought about opening a catering business or a restaurant with my beautiful and talented girlfriend. I mean you of course would be a co-owner. Plus, I am going to culinary school, so I could be close to being in your level.

“Oh, Hunter are you sure this is really what you want?”

“Yes, this is what I want. I want to make all our dreams come true together. I have always had a passion for cooking, so this is for the both of us. So, what do you say CeeCee you want to go on this adventure with me?”

“I say yes to everything including marrying you.”

I looked at her in complete and utter shock. I thought she said it was to soon for marriage. That we had a lot of stuff we needed to work on before we got to that point. I was so confused right now.

“Not that I’m complaining but what changed your mind about marrying me?”

I needed to know that she meant it. That she wasn’t just making some rash decision in the heat of the moment.

“All I needed was proof that you believed in me, and that you truly wanted a future with me. You’ve just proven that. I love you Hunter, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you if you’ll have me?”

“Of course, I’ll have you. I want you to be my wife more then anything. Once we get back we can start looking for spaces for our business start school and get everything settled with your family. No worries about school it is close to my place, so I won’t be leaving you ever again.”

“I am so happy you came here so we could talk and work all of this out. I love you so much Hunter. I can’t wait to start our lives together.”

“I love you beautiful.”

I couldn’t be happier. Everything I could ever want in life I was getting. I had my girl, and we were going to make all of our dreams come true. Nothing could stop us now. I was more then ready to get this adventure started. It wasn’t going to be easy but nothing worth having is ever easy.
