CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE.
The three girls were seated round the table and Damian was busy grilling barbecue for them while they enjoyed it and were chit chatting. "Let's go camping girls, what do you think?" Cody asked as he ravished the barbecue happily. "That's a good idea, just like the old times. We should go with Damian before he resumes work in the company". " Damian, camp?" Teresa called out to him. "I will make the arrangements for this weekend" he replied and winked at Cody who blushed. "Then it's settled, camping trip this weekend" Amy screamed happily as they clinked glasses and drank
It was nice to be able to sit like this with Cody and Damian together.
"Can I tag along?" A voice asked from the other side and they turned, it was Ethan.
Teresa couldn't help but roll her eyes at him," are you a stalker Ethan? what you are doing is creepy now" she blurted, not pleased with his behavior. "Here comes Terry's husband" Cody whispered to Amy and then laughed. "Hey bro, I didn't know you knew my sister" Damian said as he walked up to him and gave him a hug. "We just met by accident," he replied. "Do you know him?" Terry asked, looking at her brother. "We met in Korea once, his dad is a major shareholder of the Korean E-sport team.
"Wow, are you Korean?" Cody asked, smiling at him while Teresa had an uninterested look on her face.
“Half Korean” he answered back, his eyes still lingering on Terry." That explains your pretty look" Amy chipped in casually. "So can I tag along Teresa?"
She sneered at him, " do what you want and leave me be" she retorted and continued to munch on her barbecue.
"Seems like you will be the only single one during camp"Cody muttered to Amy and the latter could only sigh as her mind drifted to Min ho.
Soon enough, their laughs and voices could be heard far away as they enjoyed the night, it was a beautiful sight to behold.
After Damian dropped Cody off at home and Ethan also left, it was now left for the three siblings and things turned serious as Damian had a plan.

"I need your help guys" he said as he sat on the sofa in Terry's room while the two girls occupied the bed.
"What is it?" Amy asked.
"I want to propose to Cody and I need your help with that". "Awwn, so you are ready to settle down with her now?" Terry asked, chewing on her usual midnight snack
"If not her then I don't see a reason to be alive".
"Just tell us the plan Damian and we will help you out, moreover Ethan can help out too. He asked Terry to marry him" Amy squealed happily and earned a glare from her sister.
"You and Ethan are a thing?". "Just forget me and tell us your plans," she replied in a frustrated tone. "Okay it's simple, I want to propose the very day we go camping, just be ready to bring her when I call and I will handle the rest". "So my baby is ready to settle down?" Their mother asked happily as she entered the room. She was coming to check if they were already asleep and kind of eavesdropped on their conversation. "Mum, were you eavesdropping?" Teresa asked, rolling her eyes.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"Forget that and tell me I heard right?". "Yes mum" he answered, turning to her, "I want to get married to her as soon as possible and this camp is the perfect place and time to propose, I don't want another misunderstanding creeping up again". "That's a good decision baby, your father will be glad to hear this. Just let me know if you need anything from me okay". "Okay mum" She kissed each of them goodnight before walking off happily, she was proud of her son and his decisions.
After everyone left for their rooms, Teresa was left alone and her mind wandered off to Ethan. He looked so cheerful when they were having a night out and couldn't help but be drawn to him, it was like that Playboy was gone and in his stead was a lovable man. Right there and then she knew the feeling she had for him was more than hate, she already loved him without knowing when and how it started, maybe it was when they spent a night together or when he asked her to marry him. She couldn't place it but she knew she was already in love but how could she accept him when he had a lot of girls swooning around him.
Like he read her thoughts, his call Immediately came in and she picked up, she had been ignoring his calls and texts but she couldn't do it right now.
"What do you want?" Was the first question she asked as soon as it connected.
"I am outside your window" he replied and she quickly went to the window and he was

standing there, a look of surprise flashed through her face and she had to look closely to make sure it was him.
"What are you doing here?" She asked wide eyed, she thought he already left for his house. "Will you come down or I should come up?" He asked but she didn't answer and kept staring at him.
After waiting for a response and he didn't get any, Ethan found himself climbing up her window and into her room, that was when she was drawn from her reverie of thoughts.
"What are you doing here?" She mouthed.
"I can't stay without you Teresa, you make me feel what I never thought existed inside of me. You cloud my memories and make me want you, I don't even find any other lady attractive, you are all I think about Terry. I can't concentrate on work". "That's your problem not mine" she retorted, rolling her eyes and folding her hands across her chest. Sighing heavily, he held her by the waist and yanked her closer to himself, "What should I do to make you believe I have fallen madly in love with you? please tell me and I will do it".
For a moment she could see the sincerity in his voice, the love and whatever he felt for her she could feel it too. She couldn't resist it any longer, she knew he also loved her too. Maybe it was her insecurities making her think he would never be able to leave his Playboy life but she could at least try right?She can't give a definite answer if she doesn't try to see the good in him right?
"Terry, please say something," he said, cutting into her thoughts, "Give me a reason why I should believe you Ethan?" She answered, staring deep into his eyes.
"I have a gun Teresa and it is licensed, if you ever see me with another woman you are free to shoot me to death. I really do love you and I want to be with you Teresa, please you have to believe me".
"Everything okay sweetie?" Her mum asked from outside the door. "Yes mum, you should go to bed now. Goodnight" she replied. "Say something Terry" he cajoled, his heart was racing as he anticipated her answer. "Are you sure you love me?". "With all of my being" he answered quickly. She couldn't deny it anymore, she knew he was the one for her and he already bet his Life so what could go wrong?
Standing on her toes, she kissed him briefly on the lips as she smiled. "I think I love you too," she whispered.
Smiling, he drew her closer and captured her lips again. This time the kiss was more demanding and inviting, he didn't let go of her until they were both breathless. CHAPTER EIGHTY THREE
"So are we official now?" He asked, still holding her firmly in his arms.
"Yes we are, but I will be the one to announce it okay". "Anything you say baby, I am your slave now". She smiled before drawing him closer and placing her lips on his again.
