“I have to tell you something,” I said.
His expression fell, suspicion evident in the scowl now shaping his face.
Panic settled in. “I uh…” I fidgeted with the top of my dress even though it was completely in place. “I know it’s not ideal...but…” Deep breath. “I’m pregnant.”
His eyes slowly widened as his gaze dropped from my face to my stomach, then back. “You’re pregnant…” He swiped a hand over his jaw. “Okay. You’re pregnant. Shit. Okay. So... Right.”
He paced the promenade for a second, dragging his hand through his hair and mumbling to himself.
I knew what he must be thinking. We were twenty-two. This was ridiculous, but we were okay. Bellamy had just graduated with a business degree and was working for my dad, learning the ropes of the company. I’d just secured a job as a social worker.
We weren’t rich, but we were fine.
He came back over and grabbed my hand. “Okay. So, I have to ask you a question.” Then he dropped to one knee on the cobblestone pathway, the lights from the boats playing over his face. “Will you marry me, baby girl.”
“Oh my God. This is so Dayton right now. You do not have to marry me just because you got me knocked up.”
“I was gonna marry you anyway.” He glared up at me. “Stop ruining shit, and say you’ll marry me.”
I rolled my eyes. “Fine. Yes, I’ll marry you, but I’m not waddling down some aisle.”
He straightened and kissed me in a way that said he’d never leave me. “You want to keep it Dayton, we’ll just go to the courthouse when we get back to the States.” He smirked, then pressed another kiss to my lips.
I took his hand, starting towards the boat. “My dad always said you’d get me knocked up.”
Good thing my dad liked him now. This was so cliché, the rich girl getting pregnant with the bad boy.
“Guess I’m just no good, huh, baby girl?”
But he was. Bellamy West was good just for me.
