One Lucky Night

Chapter 9 -FINALE

They made love over and over until they were both exhausted, but the night was still young to sleep.

"I thought, you would have hated me and the worst, forget me," Scylla said as they were lying on the bed, her pillow was his shoulder.

"You think, you are easily forgotten? It was me who was worried that you have forgotten me and marry another man. Goodness, I think my breath stops by just imagining that!" His reply made her giggle.

"That's cute."She said, staring at the beautiful creature.

"I'm sorry if I did not do anything for you. It must be hard for you to leave me because of my evil father." He said.

"Don't say that, Zach. We already resolved the past, what we need is to forget and forgive."

"You're right, I don't want to spend the night with you with sorries. I want more of this." As Zach grabbed her lips with his, devouring her.

"Zach, your phone is ringing!"

"Don't mind my phone, baby." Zach groaned.

"What if it's important?"

"You are more important." His answer melts her inside but the ringing didn't stop.

"What if it's your father?" She said and Zach immediately grab his phone but the phone stops from ringing and a text popped.

"I almost forgot, "Zach whispered that Scylla can't make a word from it.

"Zach, baby are you alright?" She asked worriedly.

"I am but my dad is not." He said almost sadly.

"What? What happen?"

"Just relax Scylla. My father is a strong man." And Zach stood up started to wear his now dry clothes.

Scylla can't understand him. He just said that his father is not alright but it seems Zach is not affected by it or was she just tired to overthink.

"Come with me," Zach said the moment he was done changing.

"Of course, Zach." And she hurriedly and looked for her own clothes.

She grabbed whatever dress she can.

"You look lovely." Zach complimented as he watched her dress.

She was wearing a red dress she doesn't remember she owns.

"You don't need to rush. Please do what you need to do." Zach said relaxed.

"I'm okay, let's go," Scylla said as she slipped her sandals.

"Are you sure? Coz baby, you have the look of, after sex." Zach whispered the last two words.

"Zach!"

"I don't mind though because you are glowing and you are beautiful with that red dress that I want to..."

"Stop!" She knew what was Zach thinking.

"Why would I effort to put some makeup when we will go to the hospital? This dress is already too much Zach."

"Who said we will go to the hospital?" Zach asked and burst out, laughing.

"We are not?" Scylla was confused.

"Scylla, we are going to our... my house, where my father is. I told you to just relax, trust me he is alright, okay?"

Scylla just nods and checks herself in the mirror. Zach was right, she was a mess.

Mess in a red dress.

-

They arrived at his house smoothly. Zach was silent during the drive, behaved to be exact.

They were standing right after their door, Zach was behind her when he hugged her. He breathed on his neck that tingles her skin.

"Zach, it's alright I'm here," Scylla said but he only tightened his hug on her waist.

"Please give me some moment." He whispered.

Scylla obliged and relaxed. She held his hands and touched an object.

"I knew, it's too fast but I want to do it right now, baby," Zach said, made her heart leaped.

"No more tomorrow, next month or next year." He continued.

"Zach." She said very softly. The object she was referring to was a small box.

Zach remained to hug her back, his head on her shoulder while his hands were busy opening the box.

Scylla, on the other hand, was shaking. Of course, she knew what it was. She can't believe how much luck she had for the night. First, she met him after five years and resolve things between them. Next, the man is going to propose to her, to secure their future together.

"Scylla Grace, the woman who got away, the woman, who owns my heart. No more escaping, just be happy with me."

She wanted to face him but he was hugging her tight that she cannot escape, not that she will run away from him again.

"Will you grant my only wish from you, my love, to marry me?"

He finally said the words she loves to hear. No woman, who doesn't dream such a beautiful proposal.

It was unique and intimate.

"Yes, Zach. I will marry you!" She said with sob making Zach very happy.

He slipped the ring into her finger and kissed her cheek tenderly that she wanted to melt into his arms.

Their house door opened and there were people cheering the couple. Scylla spotted a grinning Erin which she gave a questioning look but Erin only responds a thumbs up.

"Finally, I thought you forgot this whole setup son," William commented with a big smile then hug Scylla by surprise.

"Scylla, I'm sorry for what I have done." He said while on the hug.

"It's okay, William. It's all in the past, what's important is the present." Her reply.

"I'm glad, my son found an angel and now my soon to be a daughter." William grinned as he was now facing Scylla.

"Thank you, William, I never had imagined this day would come."

"So do I, but we always know, love creates a miracle." He said and face the little crowd in their house.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the quick help you offered for tonight. Please do enjoy yourself and let's give the couple the time they needed. I want my grandchildren the soonest!" He announced making Scylla blushed and the crowd cheered while Zach just winked at his father.

"Very lucky, huh," Erin said then Scylla hugged her immediately.

Erin was the only family in the room.

"I bet you kept things from me, Erin," Scylla said with a suspicious look.

"I know, nothing." Her only answer with a teasing tone.

"Congratulations Scylla! And your Zach is coming to get you, make sure to make wonderful babies for the old William!" Erin teased and she was right as Zach snatched her away.

"Ready?" He asked

"For what?"

"For a weekend vacation. It's typically a weekend now." As his clock displays 12:30 AM.

"But I'm not ready!"

"Erin did." He said and carry her to his car.

Scylla was very grateful to Erin, her very reliable cousin, and a friend.

Zach deposited her next to his seat. He did not start the car yet, instead, they make out as if they've never done it hours ago.

Her night couldn't be any luckier and she was so happy and contented that her heart wanted to burst out of happiness.

"I love you, Zach."

"I love you, Scylla."

They smiled saying those lovely words as they knew, they are traveling the road to a lifetime, together.
