SATURDAY: Light, Full-Bodied & Screwed (Hookup Café Book 6) Read online

  “Is there a ring that goes with this?”

  “Just like a woman, it’s all about the ring.” I shook my head and with a free hand, I reached down, pulled out a small box from my front pocket, and handed it to her. “Will this do?”

  Releasing my neck, she said, “We’ll see,” with a giggle and unsnapped the tap on top. Her gasp I took to mean that she was pleased with the diamond ring in her hand, and I slid her down my body to be able to take a knee in front of her.

  “Since the day… night you wormed your way into my kitchen area and claimed your Saturday seat I knew I was totally screwed in the best way imaginable. You took my breath away with your beautiful face and perfectly shaped assets. Your pushy personality blew me away and I loved it from the start. You sparked something in me. You always made me feel so important. I wanted you to feel the same way. But you scared the hell out of me talking about freedom and independence. Deacon said I was a pussy and that I should just throw you over my shoulder and take you back to my cave.”

  We both laughed as we said in unison, “Poor, Saylor.”

  “I waited patiently and I waited for a sign. When you mentioned the abandoned restaurant, my heart leapt in my chest for two reasons; the idea of having my own bistro and the fact that I would be near you or, better yet, with you forever. When you hinted at being in love with me that was it, I was a goner for you. That feeling I want to continue until death us do part. I love you, Darla. Will you marry me?”

  “Yes, yes, yes. I will love you until I die and beyond.” She knocked me over onto the unfinished floor after I slipped the ring on her finger and attacked my face with a million kisses, not missing a spot, and I laughed. “My face to look at forever. I love it… I love you.”

  I echoed her words, “I love you,” which incited even more kisses.

  Only my crazy, light, full-bodied beauty would accept a proposal in such an odd way and I knew that my life with her would be anything but boring and I wouldn’t have it any other way… being totally screwed was not a bad thing at all when I got the prize. Moving us off of the floor, I placed her gently in the middle of the scattered petals so we didn’t pop the air mattress, and then claimed what was mine.
