Is this destiny?

When JoAnna and Jeff got out of the study room, JoAnna spotted a note stuck to the guest bedroom door.

"Hmm... Sophia and Felix went for dinner without us." JoAnna mumbled.

"No complaints from my side." Jeff admitted. He likes being alone with JoAnna, then he does not need to hold back and be polite.

JoAnna rolled her eyes. "They came just for the weekend. You can at least pretend that you will miss their company."

Jeff shrugged. "Why would I pretend?" He doesn't care about anyone other than JoAnna, but seeing that JoAnna frowned, he flashed his most charming smile and did his best to coax her. "Sweetheart, we had dinner with them yesterday... and tomorrow we will spend the whole day together. What is one evening? I'm sure they want to spend some romantic time together, now that Sophia told him about... you know."

JoAnna's expression softened. It's not like she can be mad at him, anyway. "You are right. What are we going to do?"

"Whatever you want... let's shower first." Jeff carried JoAnna to the bathroom through bedroom full of flowers.

…

Felix and Sophia had dinner in a restaurant with a view of the ocean. Felix was making sure that Sophia does not eat any seafood. He read that some type of fish is not good for a developing fetus, but he was not sure which one. Until Sophia confirms with her doctor what type of fish is safe, Felix will not let her eat any.

When they finished dinner, sun was dipping lower on the horizon.

"How about a walk on the beach and we enjoy the sunset?"

"Sounds good." Sophia smiled.

Felix and Sophia walked a short distance before they found a good spot. They sat in silence next to each other on the warm sand and observed the horizon as the sun touched the ocean. Both cloudless sky and water surface looked like they caught on fire.

Felix looked at Sophia's face, fiery display was reflected in her eyes.

He kissed her temple and spoke in her ear, "Marry me."

Sophia looked at him for a second before responding with a faint smile, "There is no need for us to get married just because I'm pregnant."

"True." He gave a small nod of understanding and reached into his pocket. "How about we get married because I'm carrying this with me for last three weeks?" Felix opened a small jewelry box, and a diamond ring emerged. Red and orange colors ignited the asscher cut precious stone, as sunset rays caressed it. "Since I've met you, you live in my mind and my heart. You are a person who can rise me up to heaven and throw me into the depths of hell. I am at your mercy. Do with me whatever you wish... But know that my heart beats for you, my lungs breathe for you, my mind thinks of you, and without you by my side I don't exist. You give me the courage to do things I never thought I was capable of... and since recently, I dare to dream that you are willing to spend your lifetime with me. Will you make my dream come true?"

Sophia looked in his eyes full of love and sincerity. Her heart pounded in her chest, threatening to escape from the rib cage. Her lips parted slightly, and she inhaled. Ocean flavored air filled her mouth, throat, lungs. She was aware of every cell-level process in her body for a second before everything turned hazy.

"Yes." She exhaled.

His lips crashed on hers with a force and passion she never experienced before. She felt that he sucked her soul out of her body and replaced it with his, before they merged into one. They held each other and kissed on the beach, lost in their love, unaware that fiery display of sunset faded into twilight which seamlessly morphed to purple hues of dusk before complete night surrounded them.

...

When Sophia and Felix returned to the penthouse, Jeff and JoAnna were in the living room, on the sofa. JoAnna was watching TV, and Jeff was next to her working on his laptop. JoAnna's right hand was playing with Jeff's hair, while left one was moving chips in rhythmical movements from the bag to her mouth.

When JoAnna heard the door, she craned her neck to see Sophia and Felix walking down the hallway and welcomed them with a smile. They were halfway between the door and living room when JoAnna noticed ring on Sophia's left ring finger and leaped off the sofa. She wiped her left hand carelessly on her shorts while walking toward them with a big grin, "Congratulations!"

JoAnna hugged Sophia tightly. "I'm very happy for you."

"Thank you." Sophia hugged her back.

"Did you tell him?" JoAnna whispered to Sophia.

Sophia nodded.

JoAnna gave a big hug to Felix, "Congratulations! Twice! Brother-in-law! Father-to-be!"

Felix was happy to return her hug and thank her.

JoAnna turned to the living room and saw Jeff staring daggers at Felix. JoAnna sighed, "Come here and congratulate them! They are engaged!" JoAnna pulled Sophia and Felix to the living room. She was excited enough for all of them.

"Do you want to talk to Sarah?" JoAnna asked Sophia.

Sophia nodded and went with JoAnna to the study room.

This left Jeff and Felix on the sofa in front of the TV which was playing a drama serial.

Jeff glanced at Felix, "Pregnant?"

"Mhm." Felix responded.

"How are you doing?"

"Nervous." Felix admitted.

"Mhm." Jeff acknowledged and focused back on his laptop.

After some time, Felix added, "Excited and happy as well."

Jeff tilted his head slightly to look at Felix and smiled. "Good."

On the sofa, Jeff was working on his laptop, while Felix was staring into space.

Felix was recollecting all the details he could since he met Sophia. How he got her to have a coffee with him, and that ended up with a meeting, and his company being acquired. So many things happened. Good things. Whenever he is with Sophia, good things happen.. She is his lucky star, and he is lucky that she is his.
