A Billionaire BWWM Romance 4: The Proposal (10 page)

“
Like
I said, the day I complain of too much sex, you have to kill me,”
he said as he pulled himself out of her. She gasped and smiled.

“
You…I
love you Steven Davenport and I love what you do to me,” she
whispered.

“
I
love what you do to me too,” he said before he kissed her
again. She got her feet down and kicked her shoes off before she
walked to the bathroom to get cleaned up.

“
Did
I ever tell you how much I love the private bathroom thing? I should
get Dana to give me one of those,” she said as she walked out.
Steven looked at her and walked into the bathroom, leaving her to get
dressed. She then put on her shoes and then opened the blinds as
Steven sat down.

“
Now
I’m sleepy,” he groaned as he leaned back in his seat.

“
Get
a power nap. You deserve it,” she said as she picked up her
bag.

“
Hey,
your phone. We never found it,” he said. Julie smiled and then
fished her phone out of her bag. Steven smiled. “You never
really lost it, did you?” he asked. She shook her head and
shrugged.

“
You
got to admit, this relationship works because I am so damn
innovative,” she said. Steven smiled and blew her a kiss.

“
Remember,
Wednesday,” he said. She blew him a kiss and nodded.

“
Noted,”
she said before she walked out. She poked her head through his
doorway and looked at him. “Tonight? Yours or mine?”

“
What
do you want?” he asked.

“
Depends.
Are you cooking?” she winked. He smiled and nodded.

“
If
you want,” he offered.

“
Good.
Your place it is,” she declared before she walked out. When she
was in the elevator, she felt her phone vibrate. She looked at it and
smiled when she saw Steven was the sender.

The
reason this relationship works is because I am a good chef with
awesome bedroom skills, and also because you are madly in love with
me.
Julie smiled
and typed a quick
I
do
before she
clicked send.

Wednesday
morning was chaotic. Dana and Meg had slept over at Julie’s
place and they may have had one too many margaritas. By the time
Julie woke up, it was already ten. She got out of bed and took a
shower before she walked to the kitchen where Meg had prepared a full
breakfast. She and Dana didn’t even look half as bad as she
felt.

“
Good
morning, sleepy head,” Dana said in cheerful voice. Julie
closed her eyes and put her hands over her ears.

“
Please,
not too loud,” she grumbled. Meg laughed.

“
Seriously,
you need to get out more,” she laughed.

“
What
do you mean? Weren’t you here when we downed three pitchers of
margaritas?” Julie asked as she sat down.

“
I
did tell you to stay hydrated, but you wouldn’t listen,”
Meg said as she put a plate in front of her.

“
Eggs?
I feel like I am going to be sick,” Julie said, pushing it
away.

“
Not
just any eggs. Mexican delight, they are spicy and really good,”
Dana said as she pushed the plate back in front of Julie. “It’s
hangover food. Got me through college frat parties,” she added.

“
Besides,
we need to get going in an hour’s time,” Meg said. Julie
looked at her and shook her head.

“
The
mini-cruise?” Dana asked. “Did you forget?” Julie
shook her head and then rested her chin on her hand.

“
Chop,
chop. You got to hustle,” Meg said as she gave her a glass of
fresh pineapple juice. Julie took one bite of her eggs and looked up

“
These
are really good,” she admitted.

“
Told
you. That’s my grandmother’s recipe. She is a genius,”
Dana said. Julie took another bite and looked at her boss.

“
Wait,
you slept over? What did your husband say?” Julie asked.

“
Yeah,
he’s always been the one picking you up before girls night is
over,” Meg said.

“
He’s
out of town for the week. He traveled on Monday and we thought
traveling back today and then on Friday would be a waste of money,”
Dana said. “So instead of falling asleep to CNN I decided to
have drinks instead. Besides, I couldn’t drive home after the
third drink,” she added with a smile. Julie took another bite
of her eggs and then looked at the two.

“
I
will be parting with two dresses today, won’t I?” she
asked.

“
Speaking
of which, it’s about time we decided on what we’re
wearing,” Dana said as she walked out of the kitchen pulling
Julie as she did.

“
Wait,
I’m not done yet,” Julie protested.

“
I
got it,” Meg said as she carried the plate and glass to Julie’s
bedroom. “Let me just start by saying I am wearing your blue
maxi dress. Julie shrugged and took the glass from Meg.

“
And
I want the black and white bandage dress,” Dana said. “What
are you wearing?” she asked Julie, who was taking her last
bite. Julie shrugged.

“
I
know exactly what to wear,” she said with a smile.

She
knew she had made the right decision when she saw how Steven reacted
to seeing her in the pink strapless maxi dress with a front thigh
high slit. She had her hair down and wore a pair of silver colored
strapped heels to match.

“
You
look spectacular,” Steven whispered in her ear.

You
don’t look so bad yourself,” she said as she looked at
Steven who wore gray pinstriped pants and a blue shirt.

“
Come
with me,” he said leading her out of the party area.

“
We
are not having sex. I might look this good, but I am actually
hungover,” Julie said. Steven laughed.

“
What
did you do last night?” he asked.

“
Three
words. Dana, Meg and cocktails,” she said as they went down the
boat stairs. Steven laughed. “Baby, what is this? We can’t
just bail on our own party,” she argued as they walked to the
dock.

“
We’re
not bailing. I’ve got something to show you,” he said as
they stopped facing the boat. “I wanted to get something for
you, something as beautiful as you, but I just couldn’t get
anything. But I found something almost as good.” Julie looked
at him and shook her head.

“
What
do you mean?” she asked. Steven looked up and gave a signal to
someone Julie couldn’t see and the red fabric that covered one
side of the boat came down. Julie gasped and clasped her hand over
her mouth. Her name was on the boat. “What did you do?”
she asked in surprise.

“
Baby,
I want you to meet the Julie. And she’s yours,” he said
in a low voice.

“
Why?”
she gasped.

“
Because
I love you and no, I didn’t buy you this boat. I have always
had it. I just had it refurbished and named after the woman I love,”
he said.

“
But
why? What’s the occasion?” she asked.

“
I
live everyday thinking of ways to make you smile and one of the
things I see in this boat is you and me in our eighties. I hope you
like it,” he said. She looked at him and then wrapped her arms
around him.

“
I
love it,” she exclaimed before she kissed him gently. “But
I don’t know anything about sailing,” she said when she
pulled away.

“
Well,
that’s up to me and the little boy who will have your eyes,”
he said smiling. Julie smiled and shrugged.

“
Come
on, I bet people are wondering where we are,” she said. He
smiled and slipped an arm around her waist as they started walking
back into the boat. They had barely got back to the party floor when
everyone gasped. Julie looked around and looked at Meg and Dana, who
were smiling and her father and grandmother on the other side. Her
father had his arm around her Nan who was dabbing her eyes. “What
the hell…” she said before she heard Meg’s voice.

“
Look
up!” She looked up and saw one of those skywriting planes and
then she realized why everyone was getting so excited. Right there,
on the clear blue sky were the words, Julie, will you marry me?

She
gasped and turned to look at Steven who was now down on one knee.
“What are you doing?” she wanted to say, but her voice
was gone.

“
Julie,
when I met you I saw something in you that I hadn’t seen in
anyone and I knew that I wanted you in my life. And I just told you
that I want to grow old with you. I want to have those beautiful
babies we talked about and I want to have them with you. So, Julie
Parker, will you make me the proudest man in the world by being my
wife?” he asked. Julie had a tear threatening to fall. She
could feel her heart beating fast. Even though she had said a lot
about marriage, the truth was that she knew things would be different
with Steven. She nodded and smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Steven slipped the ring on her finger and then got up to hug her as
the crowd applauded. When he pulled away, he looked into her eyes and
smiled. “I love you,” he said.

“
I
love you too,” she whispered as he brushed her tears off.

Hey my lovelies, J A
Fielding here! You want to know more about my writing? Ok, here goes:

I specialize in
stories with strong black women (although we're all human and need
support at times) and sexy white men. I enjoy this genre so much I've
teamed up with other writers to start the website BWWMRomance.com.
Here you can see a selection of books in the BWWM genre, all with
different view points and authors.

I'm always open to
writing on new related subjects, so if you want to suggest any story
ideas for me, leave a review on one of my current books and mention
your story idea. If it's something I feel I'll enjoy writing, I may
give it a go. I will of course leave you a credit in the book for
inspiring the idea. ;)

I hope you've
enjoyed this story and go on to check the others out. If you do leave
a review, thank you in advance.

J A Fielding.
