Five years later.
Jaden's POV
I took another glance at my watch for the umpteenth time in a row and then back at the weather outside and sigh. It was still drizzling after a heavy downpour and I can't help but wonder if Ryder is still going to make it here as planned.
I grab a glass of water from across the table and downed it, still trying to calm my nerve a bit. Five years has slip by so fast and a lot have changed around here. I graduated from college two months ago and even made it to my favorite basketball team as assistant captain.
Jasmine was in her third year of college and barely come around. Just like I said before, a lot have changed around here but something have pretty much stayed the same like my relationship with Ryder. Yes we have had our ups and downs but we are still sticking it out.
When his father found out about us, he felt Ryder was going through a rebellious phase and would eventually grow over it, forcing us to put our relationship on hold for a couple of months but still nothing has changed between us.
Even though I can count how many times I have seen him during this five years with my fingers,the thought of him still make me have butterflies in my stomach. The spark between us was still growing. Ryder is still as goofy as always and the thought of him still makes me giddy just like right now.
Ryder and his band mate actually sold out at Madison square garden and became every teenage girl wet dream and now he is coming home to me. Can you imagine? He is actually putting a hold on all the touring and screaming fans to come see me. Gosh, I have literally dreamt of this very moment like every single day of being apart from him and now, I can't help but feel all sweaty and anxious in the palm.
I took another sip from my glass of water and sigh as another minute slip by. I'm starting to feel he might not make it back here after all.
I made to exit my table when i saw him walked in through the entrance of the restaurant where we were meeting and paused in my track. Those green eyes I have come to love so darn much, darting around in search of me.
As though he could feel my eyes taking all of him in like my favorite candy, his head snapped at my direction as those searching eyes immediately found mine, a gasp escaping my parted lips at the instant connection. Ryder look just as hot, making me realize that those tabloid don't his pictures on the cover of their magazine any good.
He is fucking gorgeous, maybe some years older but still as dashing as I last remember him and even more, still rocking his signature half smirk and more tattoos.
Fuck.
I can't believe I haven't seen him in two years and now he is here as if he never left. He was spouting some nicely trimmed beards and his dark hair was still as messy and yes, he is still in love with his black leather jacket/ripped jeans and boots just as much as I'm still in love with the boy who stole my heart five years ago.
Ryder stride across the room and towards me, his eyes not leaving mine even for a second. Still standing on my feet, I took a stroll towards him and met him half way before I was pulled into a tight warm embrace.
I inhaled his familiar scent deep into my lungs as I buried my face into the croak of his neck.
"Hey" We said in unison after we pulled away and ended up chuckling.
"You made it" I said with a smile and he took hold of my hand across the table after we got seated and gave it a little rub.
"I couldn't miss seeing you for anything in the world" he told me with a smile of his own and melting my heart completely as well.
Our food came and we pulled back to let the waiter place it between us. It smelled heavenly and I can't wait to eat.
"Let eat shall we?" I told him and he  answered with a nod.
I watched as Ryder bite into his food and began to chew but stopped when he noticed me watching him.
"What?, do i have sauce on my face?" He quickly grab a napkin.
"Nope, I just love looking at you eat" I admitted truthfully.
"So, you are just going to watch me eat? I thought you were hungry?"
"Yeah but watching you eat is so fucking sexy"
Ryder swallowed hard and leaned back against his chair, his lip turned up in a smirk. "Do tell me about it"
I leaned over the table slightly. My voice now reduced into a whisper.
"The way your tongue stick out first and then caress your food while you make those little moaning noise is making my dick so fucking hard"
I relax back on my chair and gave a little stretch. "I think I just loose my appetite for food. I want something else"
I heard him gasped before he tip his face at me, a coy smile quickly spreading on his face. "So, that's how it's going to be huh? You sweet talk me to sleep with you after we eat?"
I scoffed at him with a grin, "I don't have to sweet talk you babe. The outline of your jeans tells me otherwise"
I said cockily and his grin got even wider.
"Alright fine. Let get the fuck out of here before I loose my mind"

I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly as I stare at Ryder. He was staring at me too as we laid tangled under the sheet, our naked flesh glistening with sweat. We just finished making love. Love making with him never grow old and it's still as freaky as ever.
Ryder snuggled closer into my chest, and I inhaled a sharp breath as I could literally feel the warmth from his body radiate into mine.
"Are you okay? You've been a little quiet" He questioned, his eyes narrowing at me with concern.
Instead of replying, I reach into the top drawer and pull out the ring and then struggled out of bed and got on one kneel, the gesture causing his eyes to grow an inch wider as he stare wide mouth at me.
"What are you doing babe?"
I swallowed hard, "This last five years has taught me to appreciate every single moment and opportunity spent with you even though it's not much" he chuckled at that last sentence and I did too, my tension eased a bit.
"I want your face to be the last thing I see before I go to sleep at night and the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. I want to spend every second, minutes, hour and day of my life knowing you are in it every single step of the way. In good and bad times, I want it to be you, me, against the world and anything we might face"
I took hold of his hand and squeeze it gently. "I love you Ryder Smith. I have always loved you even when I acted like I didn't and will always love you. You made me embrace who I am and I will forever live to love and cherish you each and every single day of my life"
"Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
The word finally leaving my mouth as I grow even tense not knowing what to expect even though his face already told me what I needed to know.
"Yes!" Ryder answered just as quickly and I chuckle at his sheer eagerness before slipping the ring through his finger.
It was sparkling just like the color of his eyes.
I kissed his hands then laced our fingers together before connecting our lips in a slow gentle kiss as I lower us back in bed and began devouring every inch of his mouth and causing a moan to slip out his lips and into mine.
I love how I love to make him moan and squirm in my arms. Ryder is a perfect lover. I have no doubt he is also going to be a perfect partner too. He is gentle, thoughtful and considerate and above all, he doesn't see himself as the superstar and me, well, I'm just the assistant captain and even though I don't have girls screaming my name or gracing the cover of magazines, he is still my biggest fan and I love him.
I love him enough to want to spend the rest of my life with him and being committed to this love and union until the end of time. Our end of time.
After we pulled away, Ryder raised a curious brow at me and goes, "So, how many kids are we going to have?"
I shrugged, "I don't know but I can picture us adopting a bunch of kids or surrogacy after we retire from chasing the world" I said, kissing the top of his head softly.
I could already picture Jasmine screaming and scolding our kids at every damn chance she get but whatever, as long as she helps in straightening them up then we gonna be just fine.
"So, we are really getting married?" Ryder mumbled after a while, staring down at the ring in his finger.
I answered with a nod, a smile pulling at the corner of my lips.
"Wait till the tabloid get a hold of this news" He said, his eyes narrowing with mischievous glint before he reached over and claim my lips once more in a passionate kiss.
