He tries to play all innocent, flashing me that million-dollar smile, but I’m not buying it.
“Don’t fucking test me,” I whisper. He drops his eyes and I turn back around with a huff.
Arya steps up to the microphone and starts thanking the crew and the other actors who worked with her on the film.
I get lost in her gorgeous eyes and drown in her sweet soothing voice. I love this woman more than anything in the entire world.
There’s nothing that means more to me than her.
My brothers and I built up our business to be worth over ten billion, but I would burn it down in a second if I had to choose between Cline Corp and my girl. I would gladly live in a cardboard box if it meant lying next to my Arya.
She thanks our three kids who are probably watching from home. They’re all incredible, just like her.
“And lastly,” she says as she starts to get emotional. Tears sting my eyes when I see them in hers. We’re so in tune that I get emotional just from seeing her getting emotional. It’s unreal.
“I would like to thank my husband, Nolan Cline.”
People from all around turn to me and smile. I know a lot of them. I’ve financed some of their movies and I’ve been on set for all of Arya’s. They call me Arya’s Pit-bull. I wonder how I got that nickname…
I keep my eyes locked on my gorgeous girl as she continues. She’s in her fifties and still the most spectacular woman who ever existed. Sometimes, I watch her when she’s sleeping and can’t believe that she’s mine.
I can’t believe that I get to touch her hair whenever I want or that I get to make her smile. It baffles me that she chooses to be with me whenever she takes my big hand in hers.
I heard once that the sign of a great relationship is when both partners think they got the better deal. I don’t know what Arya thinks, but I know that I got the better deal. I know it with every waking moment and I never take it for granted.
“Nolan is my rock,” she continues from the stage. “And I don’t just mean that his stubborn head is as hard as a rock.”
The crowd laughs as I grin at her. She wasn’t complaining about my ‘hardness’ in the limo on the way over here. Moaning and crying out, yes, but complaining, no.
“You’ve been my whole world, Nolan,” she says as she looks into my eyes. “I don’t know where I’d be without you, but it wouldn’t be here and I wouldn’t be nearly as happy as I am now. We started off as pretend lovers, but there was never any pretending between us. I was taken with you the second I saw you. And after the first kiss, well, I was in love. It was love at first kiss. And it’s only gotten stronger with time.”
She rushes off the stage, clutching her latest award to her chest as she comes back where she belongs—in my arms.
The whole place claps and cheers as I give her a big hug and plant a fat kiss on her soft plump lips.
Fuck it. They can watch all they want.
Everyone knows that Arya Hendrix is my girl.
And she’s not going anywhere.
The End!
