He opens the door and I practically push past him. “Louie?” I call. “Where are you, you little bastard?”
I get no response but that’s typical when he’s not in his cage. Logan comes in behind me and walks in the opposite direction. I head upstairs while he stays down. “Louie,” I continue calling.
“Babe,” I hear Logan calling from downstairs.
“What?” I call back.
“I found him but the fucker’s not coming down,” he tells me.
God, do I have to do everything around here? “Just grab him,” I tell him.
“He keeps flying away and calling me a bastard,” he says.
“Fine, I’m coming,” I say as I dash down the stairs. “Where the hell are you?”
“Lounge room.”
I head that way and groan to myself. Freaking Louie, he’s such a naughty boy. I step into the dark lounge room. Why the hell hasn’t Logan got the lights on if he is looking for a stupid bird. Am I the only one with brains around here?
I flip the switch and instantly get a chorus of ‘SURPRISE.”
I gasp in shock as I stand motionless on the spot. The room is completely crowded with my friends, the team and of course Brendan. Logan stands dead center of the room, down on one knee.
“What the fuck are you doing?” I ask as he grins up at me from the ground.
“Shut up and listen,” he demands as chuckles come from all around the room.
I ignore his demands as I take in it all in. My eyes quickly swivel around and find Jaz who gives me an encouraging smile.
“Hey,” Logan says. “Eyes down here, babe.”
I do as I’m told and focus on my man who surprising actually does have Louie, safe and sound, perched on his shoulder. “I love you,” he starts before pulling a little box out of his pocket. “I’ve told you a million times that you’re my world but I want so much more than that. I want to come home every day knowing that you’ll be there, not as my girlfriend but as my wife. You, me and Louie. A Family,” he says as he opens the box to show off a beautiful engagement ring. “Elle, will you do me the greatest pleasure of becoming my wife?”
Tears of joy spring to my eyes as I look down at this amazing man. “Are you sure?” I ask.
He laughs as he looks at me. “I’ve never been so sure in my life.”
I nod my head as the tears start to fall. I bend down to catch his lips in mine. “Yes,” I murmur against his lips. “Yes, I’ll marry you.”
“Thank god,” He breathes as he grabs me and pulls me down to him. The room erupts into cheers and applause as Logan goes about fixing the white gold, shiny, diamond ring on my finger.
“I love you, so much,” I smile as everyone starts crowding around to offer their congratulations.
“I love you, too, babe.”
We get to our feet and suddenly it’s a massive party. “Wait, don’t we have to get to the Hilton?” I ask.
“No, babe,” he laughs. “There was no party at the Hilton.”
“What?” I demand. “It was all a lie?”
“Damn straight.”
Wow, my future husband is a liar in the best way and got literally everyone I know to go along with it. I can’t believe this is happening. My whole world was turned upside down when I accepted this job and I’ll never go back. Logan has made me the worlds happiest woman and I’ll never give it up. He’s amazing and I can’t wait to live my life with him and see what the future holds.
Hell, I can only imagine what little Logan’s would be like.
I look around me and take in all my friends and to-be family. I know my parents and sister aren’t here anymore but I finally feel like I have it all and it’s all thanks to Logan.
He’s it for me. I hold his heart and he holds mine. He’s my life. My love. Until the end of time.
Epilogue
Elle
Two years later
“How’s married life treating you?” Jaz asks as I meet up with her at our favourite café.
“So far, so good,” I smile. “He hasn’t managed to kill Louie yet, so I guess that’s a good sign.”
“He better not kill Louie,” she laughs as she goes about pouring water into each of our glasses. “I miss hearing his squawking through the walls every day.”
“I know but now you have Brendan to listen to.”
“Ugh, don’t remind me,” she groans. “He’s had a different girl over there for the past few days.”
“Yuk,” I moan. “I didn’t want to hear that.” After I fully moved out of my apartment I decided I really didn’t want Brendan moving with me, I mean, I love the little twat but it didn’t feel right bringing him with me to Logan’s place, even though he insisted Brendan could come. It was about time Brendan had his own space anyway, he’s not a kid anymore and he needed to learn to do things for himself.
