Chapter 80. Yes, I Will

Alicia's POV

"Will you marry me?" 

Ash's soulful brown eyes stare up at me beseechingly. The way he's gazing at me makes me feel he's waiting, with bated breath, ready to hang on to my every word. It's as if my acceptance will save his life, and if I dare refuse, it will crumble right before my very eyes. This is the same Ash who has been blowing hot and cold toward me. 

Actually... more cold than hot, to be honest.

I take a step back and let out a nervous giggle in the process. I don't know what to think. Is this a prank? I lick my lips and look around for something, anything, to make light of this tense moment. Maybe he's videoing this to use it to laugh at me later on, I don't know, but this is freaking me the fuck out.

My baby girl kicks me and I wince as I touch my belly. Ash notices and walks toward me, still on his knees. That's gotta hurt. He's going to have scraped and bloody knees by the time this day is over. <
