"Everything means nothing if I can't have you."

Ava

"Where we going?" I ask pulling my pants as I searched for my belt. There was no reply from Brad so I turned to where he stood to see him gazing at my bosom.

"Brad!" I threw the pillow first before pulling on my t-shirt.

"What?" He pouted as I put on my tee.

"I asked you where we are going?"

"It's a surprise, Ava." I rolled my eyes as I got my belt. He poked my butt cheek from behind as I put on the belt. He does that every time I put on jeans or shorts.

"Remember we are having a date and I don't want you to fell asleep." He said handing me the hairbrush.

"Hmm." Truth to be told, Brad had to travel back and forth because of his tournaments and I can't travel as I need to take care of the kids. Brad is feeling uncomfortable because he thinks we aren't spending alone time together.

"I feel like it's not making any sense, I want to spend time with you but we aren't finding any time." My gaze met his as he sulked thinking about it.

"Brad, we have responsibilities and just think about how many responsibilities we are going to have once we have our own kids. We won't be having alone time. What you gonna do then? Sulk around like now?"

"By the time we will have our kids, I'm going to retire." He said without any second thought as if he already planned about it. My mouth dropped open as I turned to him.

"Seriously?!"

"Yes, I don't want to be away or in the ring while you are home with our kids. I know it's dangerous and risky, I don't think I can stay away from you guys." He was looking at me with a serious look. I just randomly brought the topic, I never thought Brad thought about kids. Our kids...

I felt tingles as I looked at him. I always wanted to have a family with Brad but I wasn't sure if Brad wanted to have a family or not. With the kids in the hope home, I concluded that they are our kids and family.

I love them all with my whole heart of course after Brad. So I decided to push the thoughts of my kids away for now.

"What you gonna do after retirement?" I asked him.

"Ava, We have an academy to take care of and I think we will be making enough income to fulfil all your wishes." I rolled my eyes pulling him to me.

"I just need a simple life with you beside me and good you are retiring soon. I'm always sacred whenever you are in that ring."

"I know." He pulled me up as we need to go somewhere. I hugged him first before stepping out.

I looked at my toenails which were painted by Brad last night. He drove us to where he wanted to take me. My brows frowned as I remember this road and street.

"Where we are going exactly?" I asked as I turned to look at Brad. He stopped after a while in front of a large suburban house. I sat there with suspicion as he got down and rounded to my side.

"Ava?'

"Whose house is this? Why are we here?" I stepped out of the car as my eyes didn't leave the house.

It looked stalwart and sumptuous, I wanted to have this kind of home but it's kind of hard to have suburban houses here. The lawn is green and the house looked new.

"Why don't we go and see whose house is this," Brad said pulling me to the front. They have a good, large front yard. Brad looked nervous as he pulled something out of his pocket. My eyes widen.

"Don't tell me this is your house?" I asked him with wide eyes.

"It's ours." My mouth dropped as I looked at him. I know he is not joking. He unlocked the door as we entered but there was another door which has a biometric and I know this is ours.

"I-I... How?" I said stepping inside while my eyes looked around. My eyes can't leave the walls or anything. The interior of the room we are standing in is beautiful. The walls and everything is empty.

Brad wrapped his arms around me from the backside "Marry me and move in with me here." I turned around as he didn't give me a chance as he already put the ring on my finger.

"Woah! Wait a minute. I didn't say my answer, Brad. You need to put the ring after me saying yes." I said even though my heart fluttered and I felt like dancing.

"I know you are angry because you wanted to pay for our home but I can't help buying this one. When I went to Las Vegas without you, I felt so empty and many thoughts ran inside my head. I-I just can't stay away from you and I'm always scared of having a family because I never had one." My eyes soften as he looked down at my ring finger.

"I'm sure about having a family with you Ava, My own family disowned me and the rejection made my life a hell. I don't think I can handle your rejection. Please don't hate me for this because I'm desperate to be with you in this home."

"Are we alone?" I asked him.

"Yes."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." He looked at me with anxious eyes.

"Let's christen this place babe," I said brushing my lips against his. It took him a few seconds to understand my words.

"Is that a yes?" He asked with feared eyes.

"Of course! I would marry you... only you... Even if you ask me for another ten times." In seconds our clothes were flying everywhere. I made sure he didn't tear any cloth. No slow romance as I felt him play with my bosom while kissing my lips.

I'm ready for him as he easily slipped inside with a hard jerk which made me gasp. My back hit the wall as Brad trusted inside me in and out. I can't stop my wild moans as I held his shoulder blades for support. The same fire started building in the pit of my stomach as I felt the fog surrounding my eyes.

"Decorate this whole place like you always wanted," Brad said as he sat on the step with me on his lap. He held my hips tight as I neared my orgasm.

"Ava?"

"Hmm."

"Should we have two kids like your parents or four." I sat straight as I looked at him.

"Four? Why four?" I asked in seriousness. I don't have any problem with four kids but I know it's not that easy to handle four kids.

"I always wanted to have brothers and I got my friends. So I just thought like I should have four kids, a big family. It depends on your choice, if you don't want then it's okay." He said. My cheeks burned I mean when I was a kid I imagined a scenario of marrying Brad and having a baby.

I mean everyone imagines a family with their crushes or love right. So even I plotted a story inside my mind.

"If you are ready to take responsibilities then yeah... We can have a big family." He grinned tracing his finger on the ring, it's exactly the way I wanted my ring to be. Small and simple.

"I love you."

"I love you too." I pulled my leg on him as I let out a yawn. After our home tour, we spent the day together and went to a restaurant for dinner and now we are back in our apartment away from the world.

"Brad, why didn't you allow anyone? It is our marriage proposal and no one was there."

"I wanted it to be personal and I wanted to have the whole day to be us alone. We will tell them tomorrow and have a family lunch together in hope home."

"Good." I kissed his cheek before closing my eyes.
