Y/n pov

It's been 2 weeks since i officially asked Scarlett if i can pursue her and also officially a week since i almost got killed

I have been working all week trying  to make the perfect paper flowers and last night, i officially finished the 50th piece and...i need to see my chiropractor..

They're red paper flower Roses sprayed with my perfume... I can buy her every single flower here in New York but the thing is...she can too.

Plus, that's literally the bare minimum and I want her to feel special...and realized that she should have dated women years ago

I packed everything up, the big bouquet of paper flowers for Scarlett..a real Roses bouquet for  rose and a new toy for cosmo

As soon as everything was settled i drove right straight to Scarlett's house actually hiring some security to not follow me but just watch over outside the house while I'm there to make sure nothing bad happens to my future wife and kids

Scarlett opened the door on an apron holding a feather duster...she immediately slammed it shut on my face tho before i even talked.

"I'M SORRY, OH MY GOD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I'M SORRY I LOOK SO MESSY RIGHT NOW" she says without the apron and cleaning tool now

"You don't look messy don't worry..you just look like my future wife" i say earning her smile

"Oh... For you.. my lady" i playfully says giving her the big bouquet earning her aww as she smells them an even wider smile crawled up her lips

"Smells like an actress who has a ten inch strap next to her bed...come in" she playfully says laughing letting me inside

Every space in her house is so damn clean.. squeaking clean...my depression room with my one month old dirty plate under the bed could never

"Did you make these?" Scarlett asks smiling looking at them while we both sat down

"You like them?" I asked being mesmerized by her

it's my first time not seeing her in any Make up and not dressed up and oh boy...i think I'm in love..

"I love them" she mumbled

"I love you too.." i whispered underneath my breath

"Huh? Sorry, what was that?" She asked confusedly

"Nothing... I said, you look beautiful" i gave her a smile as her cheeks glow red nibbling at the flowers trying to stop her smile

"Uhmm.. what's the occasion?" She asked about the flowers

"Nothing... people call them just because flowers. No occasion, No whatsoever.. just reminding you, you deserve to be treated like a goddess" i shrugged

I suddenly heard a little girl screaming excitedly before actually feeling her hugging me by my waist

"YOU'RE HEREEE!!" Rose cheered

"Heyyy, i miss you" i chuckled as she gets off of me still giggling

"Oh... I got you something" i remembered giving her the flowers  for her

"Mommy...MY FIRST FLOWERS! AND THEY'RE REAL??? YAYYY I FEEL LIKE SO SPECIAL, I TAYLOR SWIFT" she suddenly says making us both chuckle on how cute she is hugging h
The bouquet

"You're a Taylor swift fan?" I asked

"YESSS, I LOVE HER"

"Hmmm dig a little on the flowers" i say smiling to myself while she gasps covering her mouth seeing it

" A PAPER RING! MOMMY! A PAPER RING!! THANK YOUUUU, I LOVE YOU!" Rose literally grabbed me hugging me again while jumping still in the same expression

"oh, i also got cosmo a gift" i reached for it on my back while she volunteered to give it to him upstairs

That kid is a racer, she literally went on 120 km per hour running... SPRINTING her way while singing paper rings on top of her lungs

"hmm.. the kid gets a ring and the mom didn't?...i guess that's fair" Scarlett sarcastically says doing these weird facial expressions trying to look for one on the bouquet with pointy fingers

I reached my pocket grabbing a little red velvet fancy box "really unfair.. how dare am i?" I playfully responded going closer to her earning her laugh

I opened it revealing this two stoned pear shaped diamond ring as she covered her mouth looking shocked

"Promised myself i would spoil my woman" i smiled grabbing her hand gently putting the ring on her finger with a smile

" Y/n..."

"Take this as a promise ring... I'll do my best to be the best for you..i promise"

"You don't need to do that" she sighs

"I want to"

She smiled looking genuinely touched before looking at the ring fitting perfectly on her before pulling me on a tight hug
"thank you..." She whispered still in the hug

As she broke the hug she suddenly started removing one of her necklaces "oh...you don't need to" i chuckled " I want to" she smiled before going closer in front putting the necklace on me

I caught myself just staring at her..i was fascinated... All i could see was her.. everything became blurry and slow. She suddenly looked back at me with the same expression, our faces just an inch away from each other watching her look at my lips leaning even closer

*Ring*

We both snapped out of it hearing her phone ringing "i-im sorry" she awkwardly says moving away to pick it up

"Uhm.. my manager texted. We have an interview next month.. together" she stated showing sitting closer to me showing her phone but I'm just still staring at her

Her hair is down but it's tucked behind her ears..her side profile..the feeling of her beside me.. it just felt right

"By the way...me and the kids will go to my mom tomorrow.. wanna go with us?" She asked capturing my attention

"That... Would be perfect" i nodded

"Scar...?" I breathe out

"Hmm?"

"I just wanna say... You look beautiful" i says underneath my breath looking directly at her eyes

"Are you ok?" She asked

"No, my heart is beating so fast right now and...I'm pretty sure it's because of you" i chuckled

She put her hand on my chest and just laughed hearing it. As i stare at her laughing while her hand is just on me slowed down my world

I wrapped my hand around her shoulder pulling her closer to me while she rested her head on my collar both of us just had a smile on our lips as we went on full silence....but it was such a comfortable and soothing quietness.

"If i could freeze a picture..it would be this" she suddenly mumbled wrapping her hands around my waist as i kissed her forehead

"I feel...contented..and..it..feels...nice." i mumbled feeling her smile

"you're opening up..." She smiled looking up to face me
