I'll Punish You

"Erica, I am serious, what did you just say?" Steve wanted to confirm he did not hear anything wrong.

Erica could see the hope in his eyes, she lovingly caressed his cheeks, "I promise you for the rest of my life, I'll make up for these lost six years" She reiterated what she said earlier.

"Does that mean?"

Erica nodded her head, "Hmm, I'll marry you"

Steve couldn't believe she actually agreed to marry him and he looked at her in astonishment.

Erica stood on her toes and pressed her lips against his, she again said, "Steve Ford, I want to marry you"

After hearing what he never thought he would ever hear her say, Steve wrapped his hand around her waist and pulled her closer while kissing her back.

After a few seconds, Erica broke this kiss and said, "But I have a few things to discuss with you"

"Sure"

"Let's sit down, it might take a while" Erica instructed and they both sat on the ground facing each other.
