Bound To You For A Lifetime

Instinctively, they both ignored the knocks and tried to continue. Unfortunately, the knocks didn't stop and they were forced to put a stop to it. For now.

Frank indulged in one last sensual kiss before letting her go, "we'll pick it up from here later."

She blushed as he rolled off of her and really wished she could put a hex on the person knocking.

Frank put on his shirt and went to check on the door.

Outside the door, the whole family was waiting. Father Jenkins and Greg knocked nonstop.

"Are you sure he is in there?" Janet asked.

"Of course. I tracked his last location and confirmed the room number at the reception. I showed the little girl Frank's picture," Greg answered, still knocking.

Frank had briefed them repeatedly and they were sure to be on time, but when no response came from him, Greg took matters into his own hands. The moment he saw his son's location, he turned frantic with anger.

Wasn't he supposed to be proposing? What was he doing at the hotel? On getting there, they saw it was a honeymoon suite and he almost collapsed. This son would be the death of him.

Finally the door opened. Not waiting for the shocked Frank to react, they all rushed in.

"How dare you cheat on our precious granddaughter?" Grandma Jenkins cleared the floor.

"Yes, how dare you? Was this how I raised you?" Greg followed.

"Frank what were you thinking?" Joy followed.

"Did you guys fight and you wanted to spite her?" Mother Jenkins looked at him sadly.

The questions and accusations kept raining on Frank, and Flora, who had just walked out after hearing the familiar voices, couldn't hold back anymore.

"GUYS!!! I'm here. He isn't cheating. We are here together."

After seeing their precious, they all calmed down. If a stranger was to come in at that moment, they'd think Frank had taken advantage of someone else's daughter, not knowing that his parents were also in the mix.

"What are you doing at the hotel? Is it an early celebration for the proposal?" Janet grabbed Flora's arms but frowned when there wasn't any ring on her finger.

Clueless, Flora asked, "what proposal?" Everyone also had their eyes on Frank.

Suddenly being the center of attention, he became nervous. Proposal! Of course! It had skipped his mind! He touched his body but didn't find what he was looking for. Then he ran into the room and finally spotted it on the floor. He picked it up and ran back to the living area.

Drawing in a huge breathe, he fell on one knee and opened up the box, "Marry me Flora. Be my wife. Be the woman of my home. Be the mother of my children. Behind every strong man is a stronger woman. Be the strong woman that makes the best man out of me. Be my sunshine when I wake up. Be my moon when I go to sleep. Let me be yours. Marry me."

As he said his confession, his fear and nervousness disappeared. He had toiled and toiled on the words he was going to say. He settled for "marry me. I love you." But right now, the words just flowed out of his mouth. The only focus at that moment was this woman. Everyone else blurred into the background.

This woman. His woman.
