I am sooooo sorry about the delay. Here is the final chapter of Story of our lives. THANK YOU sooooooo much to the reviewers. You guys rock!
"Hey Mack! Why don't you try doing some work around here. It would help." Xavier yelled from the kitchen as soon as Mackenzie walked into his restaurant aptly named Second Chances. After staying in Tijuana for a week they came back and open the place in a week and it has been going strong for the past five and a half months.
"Would have helped if you didn't get one of your waitresses pregnant." Mack said with a smirk. Mia just slapped her arm and waddled to fill some coffee cups. While in Tijuana Mia and Xavier found out that Mia was 3 weeks pregnant. When they got back they tied the knot in a small ceremony and spent, what was suppose to be their honeymoon, getting the restaurant open and running smoothly.
"Vince needs to get you pregnant and keep you barefoot." Xavier said with a laugh as he cooked up some orders.
"He's trying. I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel good." She said putting her coat behind the bar and grabbing some orders and distributed them. Since everything had happened there was no word from or about anything that had happened. They all just moved on. Mack ended up selling her house and buying another home with a bigger garage just down the street. Vince was living with her and they opened up the home renovations business they had been talking about. Leon, Jesse, and even Michelle's team joined in.
"So when are you and V getting married?" Mia asked while Mack waited for some orders.
"Maybe never." She said with a sigh. Everyone always asked the same question every chance they got.
"Oh come on. You two should." Mia said bumping Mack's shoulder with a smile.
"We don't need to get married. We are happy just the way it is. This way if we break up there is no big fight over money." Mack said sarcastically.
"Yea…you two breaking up." Mia said laughing. "Not going to happen."
"You never know." Mack said.
"Oh I know." Mia replied as Mack picked up some plates from Xavier and giving them to the people who ordered them. She worked the restaurant till Midnight when they finally slowed down and stopped serving food.
"I'm going home. Let me know if you need me tomorrow." Mack said grabbing her jacket and leaving with a wave. Mia immediately grabbed the phone with a giddy smile.
"She's coming your way."
When she finally got home and walked into the house via the garage she found candles lighting a path upstairs. With a smile she through her coat onto a chair and walked upstairs as calmly as she could even though she wanted to run. When she reached the bedroom, she found a couple dozen flower petals scattered around on the bed and another trail of candles towards the bathroom where a full tub met her with bubbles and the sent of Pure seduction from Victoria's Secret.
"Oh my god." She said with tears in her eyes. She found a note on the edge of the tub that said for her to get in and relax. She did so quickly and moaned with closed eyes at how perfect the water felt.
"Comfortable?" Vince asked from the door in black slacks and a black button down shirt.
"Yes. Why don't you join me?" She said with a seductive glint in her eye.
"I got a better idea. Meet me downstairs in 30 minutes in the dress on the bed." He said stepping towards the tub and moving some bubbles around..
"What have you got planned?" She asked with a smile.
"You'll see. 30 minutes." He said before kissing her an walking out.
"I'm a lucky, lucky girl." She said biting her lip and sinking further into the bubbles with a giggle. By the time she got out she found a beautiful teal dress laying on the end of the bed. When she slipped it on she couldn't believe how well it fit and looked on her. She went downstairs and found Vince in the kitchen stirring and adding ingredients to a pot. She just stood back and appreciated the view in front of her with a smile.
"For me?" She asked wrapping her arms around him from the back.
"It will be in a minute." He said turning off the burner and putting a top on the pot. He turned around and took a look of her in the dress and for got what he bought the dress for because she took his focus that much.
"You spoil me." She said with a smile.
"You're worth spoiling. Now take this glass of wine and go out on the deck and have a seat." He said handing her a glass and swatting her butt. When she got outside she found the table set with plates, lotus's and candles.
"He really went all out." She said running her finger over one of the lotus petals. These flowers were hard to find and expensive if found.
"Dinner is served." He said coming out with two plates of steaming pasta.
"What's the special occasion?" She asked between bites.
"Just to show you how much you mean to me." He said with a smile.
"With food?" She asked with a laugh. "I knew you were a smart man."
"Being in love can do that." He said looking at her.
"Yea, I guess it can." She said putting her fork on an empty plate and smiling and content smile.
"Come on. Let's walk." He said standing and reaching for her hand before they went for a walk down the beach.
"I've never been this happy." She said kicking some sand.
"I know how we can be happier." He said
"Oh really?" She asked
"Marry me and have a child with me." He said pulling her close.
"What if we switch the order." She said with a smile.
"Are you serious? But the wine?" He said shocked.
"Yes I'm serious. I never even sipped the wine." She said putting her arms around his neck and waiting for him to come out of his shock.
"I'm going to be a daddy." He said with a big smile before twirling her around.
