Free Indebted: Part Three (Series Finale): The Virgin & The Bad-Boy Billionaire (A BWWM Billionaire Romance) by Sadie Black

the first day I met you here.”
     
    I look down at the table, tilting my head to the side, “Awww, that’s sweet. I didn’t know you were excited to meet me back then.”
     
    “Of course I was,” he grips my hand. I can’t resist looking back into his face, not that I’d want to resist. “You were the most beautiful woman I had ever met. He smirks wistfully, “Plus, you were a firecracker who wasn’t afraid to put me in my place.”
     
    “I’m still not,” I laugh.
     
    “True enough. But that’s just one more thing I love about you.”
     
    Brianna brings us our order but hurries away before I have a chance to talk to her. I notice that the kitchen staff keep peering out at us, I imagine it’s because I look so different since the last time that they saw me. When I left this place, I couldn’t even afford real Mac n’ Cheese. Now, with my recent promotion I’ve had the luxury of being able to afford a few nicer things in life. Including the black pencil skirt, red bottom heels and silk blouse I’m currently overdressed in.
     
    I grab a fry and get ready to plunge it into my soup bowl when Matthew grabs my hand, pulling it back. “Please, just wait a minute. I need to tell you something before we start eating.”
     
    “Uh, ok.” I drop my fry back on the plate. What’s this about?
     
    “Kendra,” Matthew’s eyebrows furrow together and he bites his lip. I’m not used to seeing him look so uneasy. Nerves flutter through me as I watch his pupils dilate, and his nostrils flare. “You know I love you,” he looks up at me like he’s not entirely sure how I’m going to answer.
     
    “Yes, of course.”
     
    “Well, I love you too.”
     
    “I know that…”
     
    He holds up one finger, silencing me. Filling his lungs with air, he looks into my eyes and then darts his gaze away as I wait for him to explain what’s going on. “These past seven months have been the most exhilarating, confusing and liberating months of my entire life. You’ve opened another plane of living to me, which I didn’t understand before I met you. And just when I think life can’t get any better, or you can’t get any sweeter, you prove me wrong. I know it sounds like a cliche, but it’s really true that I love you more with each passing day. That’s why,” he reaches into his gray suit jacket, pulling out a small black box. My eyes grow wide as he slides off the bench seat to the grimy diner floor, “I hope you’ll do me the honor of becoming my wife.” Matthew opens the lid to the jewelry box, and my hands fly to my gaping mouth. Inside is the brightest diamond I’ve ever seen. I’ve never been one to swoon over rings or jewels, but even I have a hard time tearing my eyes away from the brilliant sparkle.
     
    All around me I can hear patrons mumbling, “Oooh, look he’s proposing!” and “Isn’t that so cute!” as my eyes grow wide and brim with tears. I shake my head yes, vigorously.
     
    “Yes, yes! Of course, I’ll marry you Matthew.” The restaurant breaks out in applause, and I look up to see that even Brianna is wiping away a tear of joy for me.
     
    My hand trembles as I hold it out to Matthew and I hold my breath as he slides the ring onto my finger. When he stands back up, I abandon my fries and soup and wrap my arms around him. Matthew pulls me in close and softly parts my lips with his kiss. The patrons around us clap and whistle in approval.
     
    I look up toward the ceiling, knowing that my parents are smiling down on me from heaven. Matthew kisses me again, and his lips speak our truth. They tell the tale of our lust, our love and the salvation that we found in each other.
