New Year's eve...

We have been so busy at the store the last couple of days but today it's New Year's eve and Casey and I are setting up for the party later.

She got party hats and glasses with the new year on it and picked up the meat and cheese tray. I picked up the wings and a couple of cakes and chips and of course, the pizza will come later.

We decided to go all out this year. I'm excited to spend it with friends and love ones.

Jon walks in with some wine and Jace is behind him with a bunch of beer. I walk over and kiss him.

Noah and Jordan show up a little bit later with dessert. Mom made my favorite chocolate pie.

"Oooh, my favorite but I guess I can share with you guys." I smile.

We cut the music up and we dance and eat and sing and just be silly. We have the tv on to watch the ball drop.

As they get ready to count down Jace grabs my hand and pulls me outside. We can still hear the count down but I turn and look at him confused.

"I just wanted to look up at the stars with you as we count down to the new year." He said as I turned around in his arms and looked up at the stars.

As the ball drops and they get to one and I turn around to get my kiss from Jace I find him down on one knee holding open a box.

I don't know what to do or say. My hands cover my mouth and he's smiling at me.

"I know we haven't been together long Willow but I've known you forever and now that I have you in my life I can never let you go. Will you do me the honors and be my wife? Will you marry me?" He asked.

Tears are pouring down my face. I'm shaking my head up and down because I couldn't find the words and then I yelled out... "Yes! Yes, I'll marry you, Jace." I smiled.

He got up off one knee and grabbed me and twirled me around kissing me then he slipped the ring on my finger.

"It's beautiful Jace! I love it how did you know?" I ask.

"I had some help." He smirked and I looked up and Casey was waving at me. "You all knew?" I asked.

"Nope just me and well Jon and your dad," Casey said.

"Jace you asked my dad?" I asked wiping tears.

"Of course I did and he said yes and then Casey met me in town and helped me pick it out." He smiled.

I wrapped my arms around him and he hugged me so tight. The music started playing and we begin dancing.

"I'm so shocked this is such a beautiful ring and you surprised me. I'm speechless." I said.

"I love you Willow and I can't wait for you to be my wife. I don't ever want to be away from you again." He said kissing my lips.

I look over at Ben and he winks at me. I know he is happy for me. When the music stopped Noah and Jordan walk over to get a good look at the ring.

"It's beautiful Willow and I'll finally get a sister," Noah said.

"When do you want to get married?" Jordan asked.

"I have no idea. This idea is so fresh I mean I had absolutely no idea this was happening." I said.

"So you are leaving tomorrow?" Noah asked.

"Yeah for a few days just have to get everything in order so I can come back," I said.

"Jace will be out of his mind while your gone." Noah laughs.

Jace walks up and puts his arm around my shoulder. "I will be crazy without you Willow my fiancé." He smiles.

"Willow Pickford has a nice ring to it," Casey said.

"So what time are you leaving?" Jon asked.

"I have an early flight. I think maybe at 8." I said.

"Well let's help get this cleaned up so you guys can go to bed since you have to get up early," Casey said.

"It's ok guys it will be fine," Jace said.

"It won't take long if we all pitch in," Jordan said smiling.

I can't hardly do anything without admiring my ring. It's gorgeous but we get everything cleaned up and put away and before you know it we are walking up to bed.

We change and get in the bed and Jace pulls me in his arms. "I'm really glad you said yes and like your ring."

"I love it Jace it's beautiful! I'm so excited to marry you even though I hadn't really thought about it. More worried about going back to California and getting all that behind me."

"Don't worry it will all be fine and you will be back in my arms before you know it." He said kissing my temple.

"I need a go away present Jace. Can I have a little vitamin D?" I giggle.

"You don't have to ask you know I got all you need." He chuckles and rolls over on top of me.

He kisses my lips and my neck and moves on down under the cover and kisses between my breast and down to my navel and then moves on down further south until he reaches my bundle of nerves and sucks and gently bites before moving on down to my core and when his tongue slides inside of me I grip the sheets in a ball and arch my back.

He brings me to an orgasm and then kisses back up to my body and slowly slips inside me. I wrap my legs around his body and pull him in tighter.

"Oh, Jace." I moan out.

He tucks his face into my neck and moans out as he pumps into me a few more times and we come together.

He raises up and looks into my eyes. "I'm really going to miss you, baby."

"I'm going to miss you too Jace."
