Pieces of Me by Pua Ramona (small books to read txt) 📕

Thank you.” I kiss her bare shoulder. I want to do more than just kiss her goodnight, but after this evening I know she’s exhausted.

“I love you Eli” she whispers.

I kissed her neck again. “I love you too beautiful.” I say. Her breathing slows down and I know she’s sleeping so I kiss her again before letting sleep take me under too. I can’t wait for tomorrow because I’m going to ask her to marry me. My life is good and I fall asleep with her wrapped in my arms and I love her in my dreams.

Chapter Seventy-Four

Sina

Why is it when all you want to do is sleep, your stupid phone wants to go off non stop?

“Babe, your phone’s buzzing,” Eli says to me but I’m going to pretend like I don’t hear it. “Babe! Will you make your phone shut up?” He says again.

Oh hell no! I turn over so I can give him a piece of mind and sigh, he’s beautiful. I grab my phone from him and growl, “You could’ve answered it.” He chuckles then kisses my shoulder.

I push him away and say “Hey Mama! Yes, you woke me up.” I feel a hand on my thigh, I reach for his hand and pinch it, hard. “But it’s only eight in the morning!” I whine. Who goes out this early? “Fine Mama. I’ll be ready before you party animals get here,” I say rolling my eyes.

“No Mama, I am not rolling my eyes,” I lie to her.

“ Yes, Love you too, bye Mama!” I say as I toss my phone to the side. “Did your mom say anything to you about spending the day with Mama and I today?” I ask Eli, feeling grumpy that I’ve got to get up so early when I am still exhausted from last night.

He rolls his eyes at me and says, “No babe! Why?”

“Because I have to get ready right now, they’re picking me up so we can catch up.” I groan and he laughs.

“And that’s a problem why?” he asks.

“It’s not, I was just hoping to spend the day with you and Emma.” I say pouting.

“Babe, we’ll be here when you get back. Promise.” He says kissing me.

“I can take Emma with me if you want.” I offer realizing he’ll be on Emma duty all day if I don’t.

He shakes his head. “Nah! I’m sure we’ll find something to do while you’re out knitting sweaters with our moms.” What an ass! I punch him in the chest and jump out of bed before he can get me back. I’m three steps away from the bathroom and I feel his hands around my waist and the fucker literally body slams me back onto the bed.

“What the hell Eli?” And the asshole laughs. Shit. “Don’t even think about it.”

“What are you going to do babe?” He teases. Dammit he’s going to do it.

“Eli. I swear if you tickle me I’ll seriously kick you in the balls.” Please, don’t do it. And he does it. “Stop! Eli!” I try kicking, but he’s obviously stronger than me.

“Who’s the boss of you?” he laughs and I keep kicking my legs.

“Not you, asshole!” He’s laughing his ass off and I’m about to pee myself.

“Fine!” he says tickling me harder.

Fuck it, desperate times call for desperate measures! “What the fuck?” Eli’s squeals and his face is freaking priceless. “Babe!!! Did you just?”

Oh yeah, I did. “Yup! You wouldn’t stop tickling me, so I had no other choice but to sacrifice your nipple!”

He lets me go. “You little shit, I can’t believe you just pinched me”

I get out of bed like a boss. “Have fun rubbing on your sensitive ass nipple, lover.” I wink and close the door behind me laughing to myself about how awesome my tactics are.

“I can’t believe she pinched my nipple.” I hear him saying to himself while I undress. Sigh. The plan for today is to spend the day with our moms then when I get back, I am going to put my whole heart on the table and hopefully when I’m done Eli will ask me to stay. Yup! I’m definitely going to put my big girl panties on and tell him to choose me. Gag! I just threw up in my mouth. Sigh. Does he want me to stay? I really hope he does, because if he doesn’t feel the same way I’m kicking my own ass. Ugh!

Chapter Seventy-Five

Eli

Today I'll be asking Sina to stay. Today’s the day I’m going to ask her to choose me for the rest of her life. Today’s the day I’m asking the woman who stole my heart to be my wife.

“Are you nervous?” Megan says. I asked her to come earlier because she has something that I need in order to pull this proposal off.

“I’m a little worried that she’ll say no.” She fucking laughs at me and I cringe. “Are you fucking laughing ‘cause she’s going to say no?” I ask. If she says no, there’s no way I’ll be able to go back to just being her fucking boyfriend.

“Calm your balls down princess” she says. Smartass! “She’s definitely going to say yes, after she breaks down.”

“Is that a good thing? Her breaking down?” I ask, frowning.

“Definitely a good thing.” She laughs.

“Good, because I was going to say that if she does say no I won’t be able to go back to being just her boyfriend. Fuck that.”

Megan laughs. “Yeah, that would be stupid. Plus, you’re too old to be a boyfriend.”

Too old my ass. “Has anyone ever told you that you’re a pain in the ass?” I ask innocently.

She laughs. “My hubby tells me that every day.” Of course she’s proud. I shake my head at her bullshit.

“Did you bring it?” I ask.

She pulls an old notebook out of her purse that's covered in stickers, hearts, and scribbles and says, “I sure did.”

“How did you get it?”
