Pauline June's POV

https://youtu.be/by621WMb_4U

"Nick, please home soon. I am waiting for you", I said and sent him the voice mail. I put the phone down and got up. It's already six, he may come home by seven. I should get ready.

It's been a week since Nick proposed to me and I just stared open mouth at him in shock. I didn't say no to him or even yes. I recalled that night.

I stared at him in shock. My mouth is hanging open and my eyes widened. My gaze fell on the diamond ring and then back at him. He is looking at me for an answer.

"I know it's a shock for you that I am proposing, but please say something", he pleaded. I stared at him and pushed my hair behind my ear feeling nervous.

What should I say? No? Yes? If I say no, will it hurt him? Of course it will. If I say yes, am I ready? Didn't feel like things are going too fast between us? God, he feel so hurt if I told him the answer. What to do? But I don't want to say no to him. I would love to spend my whole life with him.

"Baby girl". His voice brought me out of my trance. I stared at him and pressed my lips together. What to do?

"Nick.... I....", I trailed off.

"It's okay. Tell me", he encouraged. I wet my lips.

"I.... I think.... I think things are moving so fast between us Nick", I told him finally.

"What?", he asked me with a frown.

"I just.... That's what I want to talk to you with. I just feel like everything is rushed. I.... I am not sure if I am ready", I told him looking down, not able to meet his eyes. He held my chin gently and made me look at him.

"Don't you trust me?", he asked looking into my eyes. My eyes widen understanding what he is thinking.

"No! No! I trust you. I really do! It's just....", I tralied off again.

"Then what is the problem?", he asked looking at me with concern.

"Me. The problem here is me. I am not comfortable with.... with how things are going. We met, I became your employee and then we are back again. We had sex last night-", he cut me off.

"It's not called sex. It's called making love", he said seriously. I nodded my head.

"Sorry. But yes, we made love and then here we are. Everything happened in just two weeks. Do you really want to spend all your life with me?", I asked him while putting a hand on his cheek.

"Of course! Without any doubt. How do you think I can even function without you. I am a.... what you call me? Beast without you", he said looking at me with truth in his eyes. I smiled at him for a second.

There was a minute of silence betwen us.

"Don't you want to? Is that it?", he asked in a low voice. I looked back at him.

"No! I want to. I can't even think about spending my life without you", I told him truthfully.

"Then what is it?", he asked desperately.

"I want some time. I want some time to think ot myself about things", I told him. He looked down for a few minutes to think.

"So, is it a no?", he asked with pain evident in his voice. I shook my head frantically.

"No! No. It's not a no. Or it is not even a yes", I told him.

"Then what is your answer?", he asked looking at me.

"Like I said, give me some time", I said.

"But, I don't want to loose you again", he said and the fear is evident in his eyes.

"Nick. Look into my eyes and listen carefully. I am yours. I am all yours. Yes, I agree that I left you once. But I am not leaving you again. I was once a fool for leaving you and I can't even think about leaving you. You know we both need each other. So, don't ever fear about me leaving you or about you loosing me. I am never leaving you again", I told him holding his face.

"Thank you", he said looking into my eyes as I looked back into his.

"So, will you please give me sometime?", I asked hopefully. He huffed before looking back at me.

"How much time?", he asked still holding me.

"I don't know. But till I am comfortable with everything", I told him what I think.

He didn't answer. He just looked away. I held his face and made him look at me. His eyes held pain, making my heart clutch.

"Please trust me", I pleaded.

"I trust you. I just....", he trailed off.

"I love you. I can't live without you now. Don't forget that", I told him and kissed him cheek.

"How about we get married, have kids in a year and then take things slow?", he suggested. I looked at him and raised an eye-brow.

"That's not called taking things slow. Having kids in a year? That's called super fast", I told him.

"I want you so badly to be a part of my life as soon as possible", he said and I just smiled at him.

"Trust me, I want to", I told him.

"Do you really want some time?", he asked. I nodded my head.

"Yeah", I answered.

"Okay. But tell me soon", he said and kissed me.

Since that day, he gave me time and didn't nag me about anything. He understood me well, but like always, he wouldn't leave me alone. I am always in the office with him or in his lap. He introduced me to many of his business partners as his girlfriend. We are having so much time together.

We laugh, we watch movies, we cuddle, we fight and we kiss. It's like high school all over again. Spending time with him as his girlfriend is something I wanted to feel since I left him. He tries to spend as much as time with me, but he never neglected work.

We made love so many times. We even did it in the bathroom. He is such an amazing lover. He taked care of me everytime we make love, mainly in the bathroom, so that I don't slip on the floor. I started cursing sometimes, which he hates and scowls everytime I did. I laugh and wave it off. I seduced him sometimes and many more things that I can;t even explain.

My heart flutters with happiness whenever he spends time with me, takes care of me and whenever he says that he loves me. I always say it back without fail.

At first, he didn't like the idea of me wanting some time, but now, he likes it. I think all that I wanted was to spend time with him like we used to do. May be I was a little scared taht things might not be the same now. But I was so wrong. In fact, our bond is more tight now. We tell each other everything mostly, not wanting to have any misunderstanding again.

Now, I don't need anymore time. I am ready to spend my life with him. Tonight, I am going to tell him. I planned everything for him.

Nicolas Witmore's POV

I got a mail from Pauline, telling me to come home soon. What is it with her today? She didn't come to work today, saying that she want to stay home. As I started for office today, she told me to come home soon. Now she sent a voice mail. It's not like I am complaining, but what is happening?

When she said that she wanted some time, I felt so hurt. I almost felt broken, I thought she didn't want me. Then when she explained me, I understood her fear. Yes, things really went fast between us and she freaked a little. I didn't want her to feel suffocated and gave her what she want. I gave her some time.

I have to say that the past week is a heaven. Spending time with her as her boyfriend, being in an actual relationship with her is a pure bliss. There were even articles that got printed in new papers about us when we went out, holding hands. I like that. i want everyone to know that she is mine and now that's happening.

Some said that it is a rumor and I kissed her on one of the charity event that we went on last week. She blushed red and hid her face in my chest and I kissed her forehead, publicly displaying my love for her and the next day, all the confusion is gone as there were headlines on the paper about us both being in a real boyfriend and grilfriend relationship.

I grinned thinking about it. We both feel like teenagers again. This is good, so good. But, some part of me, still feels sad that I am not her fiance yet.

I huffed and got back to work. After an hour of working, it's already seven. She must be waiting for me. I quickly got up and went down to my car. I sat in and my driver started driving. I feel a little exhausted. I want nothing much than to go home and put my head in her lap, as she strokes my hair, making me feel relaxed. Just thinking about it, itself makes me relax.

Soon, we are at my building and I got out to go into the lift. I can't even bear this two minute distance from her. I smile and shook my head, thinking how I am addicted to her. The lift doors opened and I went inside. I directly walked into our room. Our room.... It feels so good to say that.

"Baby girl, ar-", I stopped what I was saying in the middle when I see her sitting on the bed in a very nice red dress. She is looking beautiful and sexy at the same time. Her hair is let down and she crossed her legs, checking her phone. I looked at her long legs and instantly I am hard. I groaned. She looked up at me as she heard my voice and stood up with a grin on her face.

"Good. You are here by time", she said coming to me and I looked at her in confusion.

"What?", I asked her with a frown.

"Nick, will you please go out on a date with me?", she asked taking my hand and looking at me hopefully. She didn't need to ask me. I would have come like a lost puppy.

"You could have just ordered me to do so and I will follow", I told her taking her hand and pulling her to me.

"Let's go then", she said as we walked back to lift again.

"Where do you want me to take you?", I asked her once we got into the lift.

"The place where you first took me on my first date. The beach", she said blushing and I grinned.

"Okay", I said while walking out of the lift.

Soon we are at the beach and having a great time. Once we reached there, we were walking along the beach, letting the waved touch our feat as we walked hand in hand. The she went into the water and called me in. Then we splashed water on each other like teenagers and kissed inisde water with passion and love.

We ate ice-cream as we sat on the beach while taking about our favorite shows that we used to watch together when we were back in school. We chatted and laughed.

Now she is sitting on my lap kissing me. Her legs are around my waist. We pulled away for air.

"You look so beautiful tonight", I told her, pushing her hair behind her ear to see her beautiful face. She blushed.

"I want to.... ask you something", she said looking at me nervously.

"Anything Baby girl", I told her encouragingly. She sighed for a minute before closing her eyes.

"Damn! This is hard", she cursed under her breathe. There, she is cursing again! No one is at fault but me for teaching her those words.

"It's okay. You can ask me anything. Just relax. Also no cursing", I warned her and her eyes widened when she realized she cursed. Took a deep breathe before looking at me. I looked at her curiously. She took out something from her clutch, but I can't see what it is.

"I don't know how to say it. Nick, will you marry me?", she blurted and I looked at her in shock. Did she just.... propose me? It's what men should do right?

"What?", I gasped in shock. She looked at me worryingly.

"It's okay if-", I cut her off knowing what is about to say.

"Yes! Yes baby girl, of course I will marry you! I will! Oh God!", I said and kissed her hard for a few minutes.

"I am so sorry, I did it so bad. I wanted to say so much and at that minute as I look at your face, I forgot everything. I am sorry. I love you", she said smiling.

"That's all you needed to say. I love you too", I told her grinning and kissed her again.

It's a good thing that there are not more people in the beach. We moaned into the kiss. We pulled away again to breathe and I leaned my fore ehad on her's

"When do you want us to get married? I am fine with whenever you want", I told her panting.

"How about now?", she asked grinning. I grinned back.

"But what about the priest?", I asked her as she played with my tie.

"I am the bride and I should be worrying about all thsoe things. No the groom", she said teasingly.

"We will marry as soon as we can", I told her smiling. My heart is exploding with happiness.

"I am sorry, for what happened a week back Nick", she said suddenly, looking at me. I took her face in my hands.

"It's okay. I had a great time this whole week", I assured her. I can't stop the smile on my face.

"I guess, I just wanted to know that we can be the couple that we were once. But now that I realized, we are more better than then, I don't want to wait", she said smiling. I smiled back.

"You will be Pauline Witmore soon. I just love the sound of that", I grinned as she grinned back and we kissed on the beach.

I hope this moment stay like this forever.
