Chapter 3- 6 months and three days later

We were in the backyard, Tyler and my daughter, Rita were playing with a big red ball when Nick's black SUV pulled up in the driveway. It wasn't that weird, since he'd stopped by a few times to see Tyler. I walked over.

"What brings you here?" I asked, eyebrows raised.

" I came to take you out, to thank you." he smirked

"For what? I asked cautiously

"Well, after Andie found out about us, she took Kara and filed for divorce,

And today, I got the finalized papers."

"and is that a good thing?" I asked, confused

"Yes, because that means I'm free. Andie was great, but if she can't forgive me, then she really doesn't love me all that much. It took her leaving me to realize that, so, thank you." he finished.

"Did I ever tell you how weird you are?" I laughed

"All the time." he chuckled. "So what do you say will you come out?"

"Fine," I said

"I'll be back in 20 minutes, but first I have to change Mrs. Stinky's diaper I said hoisting Rita onto my hip.

I walked inside. I could tell it would be weird going on a 'date' with Fang.

I changed Rita's diaper, and slipped into a red spaghetti strap dress, that fell to my knees, red pumps and silver stud earrings.

After straightening my hair quickly, I took Rita back outside.

Fang ended up taking me to a fancy French restaurant. We talked, laughed ate, and sipped on French wine. Then Fang changed the subject.

"So, have you been seeing anybody?"

"um, no." I said, sounding VERY confused.

"Good." he said gently.

He pulled something out of his pocket and set it on the table.

I looked down. It couldn't be!!

It was a small blue box.

"Are-are you purposing to me?"

"Maybe, it depends on your answer." He smiled

He took my hand and got down on one knee.

"Max, we have been through so much together, and I can't imagine a life without you, so, will you marry me?"

I opened my mouth opened and the most astonishing words came out.

"Yes, I will marry you Fang!"

My eyes were brimming with tears, I couldn't believe how happy I was.

Fang slid the ring on my finger, stood up and kissed me passionately.

I was engaged! J
