Chapter 94 - Forever and a day

Sasha's POV

I'd been away from Nef for about a month. I'd been to Turkey with Ovie and now I was about to head to Germany to visit her. The summer had been good so far and I was looking forward to reuniting with her. I'd been thinking about asking her to marry me. We'd spoken about marriage many times and she knew that I wanted her for forever and a day. I wasn't completely sure that she would say yes. I knew that she wanted to be with me but I also knew that marriage made her jumpy. She didn't want to be pushed into marriage and if she felt it wasn't the time she wouldn't do it. Her family's view on marriage had contributed to this view in her.

It took me months to talk her into moving in with me and that had been aided by her being pregnant, and then by her roommates going their separate ways after graduation. I had talked to my parents and her parents and both were all for it. Her family loved me and my parents had grown to love her. This past year had solidified our relationship between us and with our families. When I arrived in Germany I had every intention of sitting down with her grandparents and talking to them about marrying their granddaughter. I knew how close her family was and I know that it meant a lot to her parents that I had taken the time to sit down and talk to them about marrying Nef and I knew that it would mean a lot to her grandparents as well.

"Are you ready to settle down?" Ovie asked me when I told him about asking Nef to marry me.

"Yes. I want her - for forever. This year has shown me that she's what I want and what I need. She's the one. When she was pregnant I could see my family and future coming together and when we lost the baby I felt like I was dying. I'm absolutely sure that I want her. I'm absolutely sure that I need her."

"So, I should start working on my best man speech?"  Ovie smiled and congratulated me.

We would be in Turkey for another 5 days and Ovie promised that we'd get started early on my bachelor party.


"I'm not even engaged yet! And lets not do anything that might make her say no."

Maybe I should have waited until the end of our trip to tell Ovie that I was going to ask Nef to marry me. He seems to think that the first thing we need to do is go find an army of Turkish belly dancers to celebrate with. I tried to decline but he was dragging me from our hotel to the resort nightclub on the lower level. Ovie never passed up a reason to celebrate and this time would be no different.

The following morning my phone rang. It was Nef calling me.

"Good morning sleepyhead!" she said cheerily into the phone.

I'm pretty sure I grunted into the phone. I'm not a morning person, especially when I've only gotten about 4 hours of sleep. Nef's used to it and she wasn't bothered that I barely spoke on the phone. She was calling to hammer out the details of my trip to Germany. It seems that it wouldn't be just her and I. Im was bringing a girl that he had been seeing for a visit at the same time. It would be Nef's introduction to this woman.

"I can't believe Im thought that I would be to distracted to focus on her! He's my twin brother; of course I would pay attention to her. She's going to have to get through me if she wants my brother."

"He not think that. He think that I distract you on purpose," I jokingly said into the phone. "I owe him a few."

"That's not funny."

"I not joking. Im help me a lot so I help him back."

I started to laugh when Nef growled into the phone. She knew I was teasing her but she couldn't help her reaction.

"You're going to get it!" She said. "Oh, I am going to get you. As soon as I get my hands on you!"

"What you get me? You know I only need you."

"Cheeky monkey." She called me that whenever I teased or talked back to her. The pitch of her voice lowered."It's been a while since we've played. I'm beginning to think you've forgotten your place."

I was hard instantly. It was the voice she used whenever we played and I was submissive to her.

"I think you need a reminder of how to behave."

"You gonna remind me?" I asked, my voice a little breathless. "How?"

"Questioning me? Oh, now I know you need a lesson. You are getting out of hand."

I groaned into the phone. Her subtle promises of pleasure made me want her badly.

"I not out of hand. I good, always good."

By the time I got off the phone with Nef I was in desperate need of a cold shower. Five more days in Turkey, a little more than a week at home, and then finally to Germany for some time with Nef. I was counting down the days until we're back together.
