“I love you too.”
He leaned down and gave me a soft kiss on the lips and I was in heaven.
Epilogue – Two Years Later
Things with Sebastian and me just got better every day over the last two years. Jaden was my buddy and the three of us hung out together all of the time. We were in Dubai and we just finished the opening ceremony for the new Blu Sierra Dubai which is absolutely stunning. All of his brothers were there, his father who was newly single was there, and his mother also flew in for the ceremony.
Things were still strained with Sebastian and his father and Sebastian and Spencer, but I was making it my mission to bring them all together again. It was going to take time but I really believed that they would find a way to forgive each other and start over with new relationships.
I met his mother shortly after I met Jaden and we instantly became friendly. We have lunch together once a week and I love her like a second mother.
We had a couple of hours before we had to go to the celebratory dinner and Sebastian told me that he wanted to take a walk with me on Jumeirah Beach. Dubai was simply beautiful and I did literally pinch myself to make sure that I was really there. I kept telling myself that there was no way that this was my life, but it was and it was so amazing.
We were walking in silence for a while, just taking in the beautiful scenery, when he suddenly stopped and turned to me and held my hands.
“Elena, you make me happier than I ever knew was possible. The first time I laid eyes on you I knew that there was something special about you and I was right. I believe that you were made for me, and I was made for you. There is no other woman in the world that I would rather be with and no one will ever make me as happy as you do. I love you, my son loves you and my family loves you. I cannot imagine going through this crazy thing we call life without you and I want you to be in my life forever.”
He got down on one knee and my heart was banging against my chest. He pulled a small black velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and staring back at me was the most beautiful diamond ring I had ever seen.
“Elena Marie Sumner, will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?”
I was in total shock and stood there silent for a minute. Is this really happening?
“Elena?” Sebastian looked worried and that snapped me out of my daze.
“Oh! Yes! Yes, of course!”
A look of relief washed over him and he slipped the ring on my finger, picked me up and spun me around for a couple of seconds. After he put me down in the soft sand I had to make sure that I clarified something with him.
"You know this does not mean that I am going to stop working. I still want to open my boutique hotel in a couple of years, so eventually I will be leaving Blu Sierra Miami.”
"Of course, I would never want to stand in the way of your goals and dreams. I want you to have your hotel and I want it to be a huge success. As long as you never leave me, I will be a very happy man.”
I held his face in my hands and looked him in the eye.
“I will never leave you.”
He smiled at me. “Good, because I don’t want to go through life without you.” He put his arm around me and looked out into the water, the gentle wind lightly caressing his hair, and a small smile turned up the corner of his mouth.
I smiled at him. “What?”
“I was just thinking about your new name. Elena Blu. It has a really nice ring to it.”
“You mean Elena Sumner-Blu. Now that has a nice ring to it.”
He chuckled as he gathered me in a big hug. “I guess it does.”
The End.
