Jill Malik P.O.V

The warm ball of light filtered through my eyelids and awoke me on the second day of our vacation. Rays of brightness cast squares onto the floor, reflecting onto several objects in the room which decorated its otherwise simplicity. I opened my eyes and let out a yawn. I looked to my right and Flynn was still sleeping peacefully. Of course he would, especially after last night. He has a lot of stamina and he could go all night long. I rubbed the sore spot between my legs and threw the comforter of me.


I silently threw on his black shirt from last night and tiptoed my way to the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth.

This was our second day in Bora Bora. We were staying at the St. Regis Bora Bora resort for five days. It was one of the many things Flynn gifted me for Christmas. The other things were gift cards from well-known brands and new furniture for the house. I was glad that he bought furniture, because the house needed to be decorated and there were still a lot of empty spots that needed to be filled.

New Year's eve we celebrated at Luca and Reina's place. We watched fireworks and ate spaghetti prepared by Luca's mom. She was a really good cook and even gave me her secret spaghetti recipe. Aunt Lydia and Milan were there too and they were enjoying the view from Luca's balcony. Luca let Milan shoot some firecrackers and I was freaking out. But luckily it all went well and Milan had enjoyed it.


On New Year's morning we went to have breakfast with Aunt Lydia and Milan and then Flynn and I spent some quality time with them. Together we build a snowman and after that we sat in front of the fireplace drinking hot chocolate milk and playing a board game. Aunt Lydia and Milan left the next day.

I dried my face with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. Flynn was still sleeping so I decided to make breakfast. I walked into the kitchen and searched for a frying pan. I wanted to make some pancakes.


Yesterday we arrived in Bora Bora and we immediately went swimming. The transition from cold to warm weather felt so good. After that we went to have dinner at the Bora Bora yacht club. The view from here was spectacular and the food was beyond fantastic.

I placed the warm peanut butter and chocolate chip pancakes on a plate and placed it on a tray along with hot coffee. I walked back to our room and when I walked into the bedroom Flynn was coming out of the bathroom wearing a white robe. "Good Morning. Happy Valentine's day pudding." he said in a husky voice and walked over to me to place a lingering kiss on my lips. "What do you have there?" He eyed the deliciously looking pancakes.

"I made breakfast, do you want to eat it on the balcony?" I asked. He nodded and we walked outside to the balcony and sat on the table next to the pool. We were surrounded by clear blue water. So beautiful.

Flynn took a bite of the pancake and gave me a thumbs up. "You're like the best girlfriend ever." he said grinning.

After breakfast we decided to go swimming and have a good time. I wore my bikini and we walked to the beach. The beach here was so beautiful, I wouldn't mind staying here forever. "I have something planned for tonight." Flynn said mysteriously as he hugged me from behind. "Or not exactly tonight, but more at sunset."

I raised up my eyebrows and turned around to face him. "And what is that?"

"It's a surprise, but wear something cute."

I chuckled. "Okay, Vasilios."

After we were done swimming we went for a nice walk and then it was time for lunch. After lunch it was time for us to go snorkeling.

It was already late in the afternoon when we arrived home. Flynn showered and hurriedly went out again. He told me he had to put everything ready and he would send someone to pick me up.

I took a bath and wore a white crochet top and gray wrap skirt and paired it with some flats. I curled my hair in beachy waves and applied some light makeup. When I was done I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and I saw a bouquet with roses on the ground with a note attached to it. I read the note and smiled.

I placed the roses in a vase and closed the door behind me. I walked outside and followed the path to the river were Flynn was waiting for me on the cruise. A private cruise.

I saw him waiting for me in his white button up shirt and black pants. He looked so damn handsome. He extended his hand for me and I placed mine in his.

"What a beauty." He murmured and kissed my forehead. He leaded me to the seating area and pulled out a chair for me. As we left the dock and started to sail away towards the sunset we were given drinks and snacks and a whole entire bottle of champagne. It was so romantic and beautiful.

Suddenly our tour guide pulled out his ukulele and started singing.

Flynn stood up and brought me outside to the deck. The sunset was behind us and it was breathtakingly beautiful. He pulled a paper out of his pocket and coughed nervously.

🎶 105 is the number that comes to my head

When I think of all the years I wanna be with you🎶

"So, I figured that this place is good to ask you any question."

Oh my god. It's not happening right now. He's not doing what I think he's gonna do.

🎶Wake up every morning with you in my bed

That's precisely what I plan to do 🎶

"You're my favorite person in the whole world."

🎶And you know one of these days when I get my money right

Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life🎶

"And we're a big deal, you know. I don't wanna live my life without my one true one night stand." He chuckled softly and continued, "I guarantee there will be tough times."

At this point I was biting my lips to not burst out in tears. My heart was racing wildly and I felt like it was about to come out of my chest.

🎶Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush

But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough🎶

"But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine, i'll regret it for the rest of my life. So I will keep things simple. I know it's fast, but---" He took a deep breath and went down on one knee. I covered my mouth with my hand. Tears of happiness brimming in my eyes. I mean I knew this was happening, but it felt so surreal. Flynn got a small box out of his pocket and opened it, revealing a beautiful diamond ring. "Jill pudding Malik, will you marry me?"

🎶 I'll say will you marry me

I swear that I will mean it

I'll say will you marry me🎶

I cried and nodded my head. "Yes. Yes I'll marry you!"

"Oh my god, congratulations !"

Ximena barged into my office and took me into a bone crushing hug. "Let me see how much my brother spent on your ring finger?" Her eyes widened as she saw the shining diamond ring. "It's so gorgeous, oh my god! I can't believe we are going to be sisters!"

It still felt so surreal to think that I'm now Flynn Vasilios fiancee. Who would have ever thought the womanizer would settle down? The news and gossip papers were filled with articles about our engagement story. Flynn's last name was even trending on twitter for a couple of hours. The night of the proposal I called Aunt Lydia to tell her the exciting news and she was crying tears of happiness. She knew from the start that this was going to happen. She knew that Flynn would eventually become my boyfriend and later on my husband.

Aunts knows best.

When we went back to New York we invited the family for dinner at the mansion and I showed them my ring. They just stared at it for a long time, Rodrigo was the first one who realized what had happened. The others were still confused slash in shock.

Reina started to cry river of tears after Rodrigo jumped on the couch and congratulate Flynn and I on our engagement. The Vasilios family was so happy and they welcomed me with open arms. They were so glad their son had settled down and left his wild past behind. They were tired of all his scandals. Sadly, Ximena couldn't be there because she was on a business meeting in Australia.

"You and Rodrigo are invited to the engagement party." I said as Ximena finally calmed down and settled on the chair in front of me. "It will be held at the Renaissance Event Hall."

"Wonderful. I love that place! But why do you say Rodrigo and I? Why can't you invite Rodrigo himself?" She asked with a questioning look.

"I thought you guys were a thing."

Her eyes widened. "What?! No, we're just friends."

"Really?" I raised my eyebrows and smirked. "It does not look like that."

She sighed and rested her head in her hands. "He's friendzoning me."

This time I was the one who had a shocked expression on my face. All this time I thought she was the one who was friendzoning him. "Can't you just step out of the friendzone? That guy likes you."

"I wish. I know he likes me, but it's not that easy." She opened her handbag and got out a silver package. She hand it to me and gave me a cheeky grin. "Something small from Australia."

I opened the package and a smile crept on my face. It was a candle with Flynn and my name engraved on it. It was so beautiful and it smelled like chocolate. Ximena knew that I was obsessed with candles lately. I had already bought four from bath and bodyworks.

Damn such a great way to avoid the topic about Rodrigo.

..........

The room was filled with family, friends, and business partners. Aunt Lydia and Milan flew from Barcelona to New York again. They were the only family I had. I made my way to the stairs and took a deep breath.

I hope Flynn will love the dress I wore. It was a beautiful emerald green off the shoulders dress that was covered in sequins, glitter, and lace. When I saw it I immediately fell in love with it. It was so gorgeous. The designer had to alter it a little at my waist, but overall it fitted me perfectly.

The venue was beautifully decorated by a well known party planner from Italy. I think we might also hire him for our wedding. He did a splendid job in decorating and choosing the right venue for the right occasion. The inviting lobby bar of the Renaissance Event Hall sets the stage for a gracefully curved marble staircase where I'm currently standing, which descends to reveal the neo classical decor of the main dining hall and hardwood dance floor below, the soaring ceiling flanked by two spacious, yet cozy balconies.

I took another deep breath and walked down. All eyes were immediately on me and I was searching for Flynn. I found him on the end of the stairs waiting for me, his mouth slightly open and his beautiful blue eyes wide as saucers.

"You take my breath away pudding." he said when I reached the end of the stairs. He took my hand in his and placed a soft kiss on my lips. His lips felt so warm and it tasted like champagne.

"And you are so damn handsome, darling." I said biting my lower lip and making him groan. The effect I have on him. I love it.

"Stop doing that, otherwise we will skip this whole engagement party and continue it in my bedroom. How does that sound?" He asked, winking at me.

I chuckled and rolled my eyes. "Sounds tempting, but I can't leave my guests alone. That would be rude."

He laughed softly and put his arm around my waist. "Come, I want to introduce you to the rest of my family."

I met his aunts, uncles, grandma, grandpa, nieces, cousins, and nephews whose names I forgot right after they introduced themselves. They were from all different parts of the world or from different states. California, Los Angeles, Greece, Sao paulo, Amsterdam, Berlin, Madrid, South Africa, etc. They all had million dollar or billion dollar worth companies. The Vasilios were very wealthy people and it was not only Flynn and his parents, but his whole family.

"Good evening JJ." I heard a familiar voice behind me. I turned around and my eyes lit up immediately.

"Ethan!" I squealed and hugged him tightly. I had invited him too, but he had said he wasn't sure if he would come. "You came! But where's your fiancee?"

"So I need to tell you something. we cannot make it to the wedding, because we're moving to Jordan. But she told me to wish you two all the best in life. Right now she's very busy packing and arranging things for our residence in Jordan."

"Really? You will not be here for my big day?" I was a little bit disappointed. I really wanted to have all my friends with me.

"I'm so sorry JJ, but we have to move. I already got my letter that said I can start working there so I need to move fast, because otherwise they will give it to someone else."

"Oh, well I'm glad you're here then! It means a lot to me."

Ethan smiled and took me into another hug. "I can't believe you're getting married. I'm so happy for you and I wish you and Flynn a happy life together."

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. Flynn took my hand and looked at Ethan. "Can I borrow my fiancee for a second?"

Ethan chuckled. "She's all yours man. Congratulations and take good care of my JJ."

"Thanks man. And I will, don't worry." Flynn said smiling. He brought me towards the entrance of the venue.

"An important business partner will come any second and I want you to meet him." Flynn said and kissed the knuckles of my hand. "He's a very nice man."

Flynn couldn't even finish his sentence when a man in his late forties entered the venue. He was dressed in a expensive armani suit and he looked really fit and fashionable for someone of his age.

He shook Flynn's hand and then mine.

"Robert Quinn." He introduced himself. His voice was croaky and low. "You must be the fiancee of Mr. Vasilios."

I nodded and smiled at him. "Yes, I am. Pleasure to meet you Mr. Quinn."

"Oh stop with the formalities. It's Robert for you. Mr. Quinn makes me feel old." He chuckled and then looked back at Flynn. "I want you to meet my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" Flynn and I asked in surprise. He looks so old and he still had a girlfriend? I thought he already had a wife and kids.

"Yes, she just came from the Netherlands. An amazing woman. Beautiful curves. Very attractive." He said and then turned around and beckoned at someone who was standing outside.

A beautiful woman appeared out of the dark. Her light yellow dress clung on her body like a second skin. Her figure was that from an hourglass and her hair was in a messy bun, yet it look so elegant. She looked confident, beautiful, but also very young. She must be in her early thirties or late twenties.

If I would not have known better I would think she was the daughter of Mr. Quinn. I felt Flynn stiffen next to me. When I looked at him he was staring at the girl.

He looked pale.

"Mr. Vasilios, This is my girlfriend." Robert said as he kissed the cheeks of the girl. Flynn was still staring at her.

In complete shock.

"Sera." He breathe out and the girl smirked.

"Hello Mr. Vasilios." She greeted in a very sweet voice. It felt like honey was dripping out of her mouth. "Nice to meet you... again."
