I watched as she used the restroom, cleaned herself up, and then washed her hands before brushing her teeth bent over the counter.
I enjoyed the view from behind, and waited until she was finished before I said what I said next.
“Marry me, Val.”
She blinked at me. “W-what?”
“Marry me,” I repeated.
Her eyes were huge when she said, “We just got back together!”
I shrugged.
I knew what I wanted.
And it was her.
“I’ve known what I wanted out of you since our first year in med school,” I pointed out. “I’ve had your ring in my sock drawer since our second year.”
Her eyes were huge when she said, “Why didn’t you ask me when we were done with school then?”
I felt my stomach drop. “Life.”
“Life.” She looked down at the floor, uncaring of her nakedness. “Yes.”
“Yes?” I asked, my heart in my throat.
“Yes.” She looked up, unshed tears once again in her eyes.
If I never saw her cry another day in her life, it would be too soon.
Each tear that fell because of this fucked up shit that Tammy had instigated was like a stab directly to my heart. My stomach physically ached, and my chest felt tight, as I saw those tears spill over.
“Don’t cry,” I rasped, raising my hand to her cheek.
“I’m not crying,” she cried.
I chuckled as she came into my arms, both of them wrapping around her upper thighs.
“I love you, Valhalla Drew. Say you’ll marry me,” I urged. “All the words.”
I needed all the words.
Not a whimpering ‘yes.’
“Yes, I’ll marry you, Felix Alexander Kent.” She placed both of her palms on my face and leaned down, sealing her declaration with a kiss.
That’s how we were positioned when three of her sisters poured through her bedroom door, came to a halt, and then one said, “Wow, Val. You’re totally naked. And I didn’t think Felix was hiding this kind of body behind those baggy scrubs.”
I froze, my eyes wide, as I stared up at Val.
Val squeezed her eyes shut and then turned to her sisters and said, “He just asked me to marry him, I said yes, and then I was planning on sealing that with a couple of orgasms. Can’t y’all learn to knock?”
“No,” one replied as another said, “We don’t knock. We’re sisters.”
I had to laugh.
“Go outside so we can get changed!” Val yelled.
“Changing would mean that you had clothes on to change,” Hades, I thought, said. I wouldn’t be able to confirm without looking at them. “The word you’re looking for is ‘dressed’.”
“Get. Out. Now,” Val said through gritted teeth, turning her glare on her sisters.
They left, but not without a parting comment.
“How do we keep meeting these men with such big penises? From what I understand, the average American dick size is only four and a half to five inches,” one of them noted.
I pressed my face against Val’s belly, unsure how to feel about three of the sisters knowing what size my dick was, let alone that it was above average.
The door slammed, and then Val sighed. “I want my ring.”
I felt a smile return as I said, “I’ll get it for you when I’m done with HR.”
We parted after that, me hopping in the shower, and Val getting dressed before pulling the sheets off the bed.
I came out of the bedroom, freshly showered, to an apartment full of Val’s family.
Not a single one of them looked as if they cared that they’d just caught me going at their sister.
Last night, the majority of them had been nice, but they’d been working. Today, though, I had every single eye on me, and their complete attention.
“Uh, hi,” I said as I scanned the room. “It’s awfully early for a family meeting, isn’t it?”
I mean, it was six in the morning.
Yet all of them were there.
Even Simi with her twins, and the angry dad behind her.
Though, last night, after I’d tried some of Coffey’s food, he’d eased up a little bit. Apparently, someone who could enjoy his food like I did was okay in his book.
But it did look like he hadn’t gotten much sleep last night.
“It’s Val’s turn to make breakfast, and since she got all pissy that we were holding our breakfasts after she left for work, we changed our times. Today’s Val’s day to cook.”
CHAPTER 19
Well I’ll be damned.
-Things you don’t want to hear from your ER doctor
VAL
I rolled my eyes and went to the fridge where I’d put the breakfast items I’d bought from the store a couple of days ago.
I pulled out six tubes of cinnamon rolls, a full two pounds of bacon, and the eggs I’d gotten at the farmer’s market last week.
After making one giant cinnamon roll in the middle of a baking dish, and then putting heavy cream, as well as more butter and brown sugar in it, I shoved it into the oven to bake without pre-heating it.
