Unexpected Encounter: A Second Chance at Love

"I don't know, I just thought you didn't wanna get involved with the Petrov's." Though Owen didn't mind dirtying his hands on the mess the two Petrov brothers were creating, he knew Andrew didn't want that.

He never liked getting into unnecessary trouble unlike Owen who found it fun and interesting.

"What do you think?" Andrew wanted to know what Owen felt about the whole thing before disclosing the secret dealing he had done with Samuel.

Thinking for a while, he answered, "Well, I don't know. But he said that he wanted our help for his sister so I guess it's only right to help him out this time."

He had no idea what was going on and what had happened but since Samuel's sister was involved too, Owen made up his mind to help him out.

"Maybe he sounded so desperate because Katherine is involved in this," he added. "To be honest, if I was in his situation and if there was something Elsa was involved in, I would become desperate too."

"Alright then, I will ask Ben to make arrangements for him," Andrew remarked.

"Hey guys, what are you two talking about?" Without waiting for their reply, Justin snapped, "Whatever you guys are talking about just stop it and come with me. I am going to propose to Elsa now."

"Isn't she mad at you?" Andrew raised her brows. "What if she rejects your proposal and throws the ring away?"

"Dude—" Justin frowned. "Why the fuck would you scare me like that?"

Andrew shrugged. "Just preparing you for the worst."

"What did I miss here?" Owen curiously inquired.

"Elsa is mad at him and he doesn't know why," Andrew answered.

"Oh that's quite messed up."

"For one fucking time, can't you both be a normal supporting friend and help me out?" Justin snapped as he glared at them.

"Yeah alright." Both of them sighed together.

….

"Look at him happily talking as if nothing is wrong," Elsa sneered. "It's like he doesn't care at all."

"Hmm why don't you remind him?" When Elsa frowned at her, Rachael explained, "I mean, since he clearly forgot the anniversary, why don't you remind me and—"

"And make him feel guilty about it?" Elsa grinned, "That's an amazing plan. You go girl—"

"No no, that's not what I meant," Rachael nervously chuckled. "What I mean is, if it's bothering you so much, why don't you remind me?"

Thinking for a while, Elsa remarked, "Nahh, I like the guilt plan better."

Just then Justin approached her. "Hey babe—" When she looked away, he sighed, "Are you still mad at me?"

"I don't wanna look at you right now Justin, just go away."

When Owen gave him a 'THUMBS UP', Justin took out the ring box from his pocket.

Rachael widened her eyes in shock when she saw the ring in his hand but before she could make any kind of sound, Andrew quickly approached her and gesture her to stay silent.

"Elsa, look at me once." When she did not react, Justin added, "Babe, please look at me."

Contemplating for a while, when she turned her head towards him and saw the ring in his hand, she froze. "This—"

When he got down on his knees, she threw her hand in mouth and quickly got up.

"The day I met you, I knew I had to make you my wife someday and now when it's actually coming true, it feels like a dream. You have no idea how lucky I feel whenever I think about you and I wanna feel lucky for the rest of my life so—"

Justin smiled at her. "Elsa Volkov, will you marry me and make me the happiest man in this world?"

"Yes—" Elsa wiped the tears with the back of hand and extended her hands towards him.

Justin quickly placed the ring on her finger and pulled her in his embrace. "I love you."

"I love you too." She hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Woah, watch the tongue people, we have a toddler in here," Owen quickly reminded him before picking Edward in his arms.

When they broke the kiss, Elsa excitedly inquired, "Is this why you were pretending to be a jerk by acting like you forgot our anniversary? You wanted to propose on our anniversary."

Justin widened his eyes in shock when he finally understood why Elsa was mad at him since morning.

"That is so romantic, babe." Elsa hugged him again. "I love you so much."

"Anything for you love," he nervously chuckled.

"He really forgot about the anniversary, didn't he?" Rachael whispered to Andrew.

Andrew chuckled and nodded. "Yes, he had no idea."

"Well, at least he saved his own a*ss." Rachael smiled and leaned against his chest as she admired the newly engaged couple. "They look so cute together."

"Hmm but—" he kissed the top of her head. "We look cuter."

"We do." She smiled and looked at him. "And you are the cutest one here."

"I will not argue with that." Andrew placed his hand on her waist and gently caressed it. "Do you wanna go to the room and do some post-breakfast cardio?"

Before Rachael could answer, Elsa called her out. "Rach—" She came running towards her.

"Congratulations," Rachael quickly gave her a hug. "I am so happy for you."

"Thanks, I am finally gonna get married," she exclaimed.

"Let me see the ring—" Rachael examined the ring and sighed in satisfaction. "Oh my God, this is so beautiful."

While the girls were busy admiring the ring, the guys were also congratulating each other.

"Congrats man," Owen gave Justin a hug and patted his back.

"Thanks man."

"Welcome to the family bro," Andrew smiled and gave him a hug too.

"Great, now that everything is over, I hope you guys will have fun taking care of your kid so that I can give my baby some action." It had been three days since Owen had got a chance to 'SOCIALIZE' with the hot women around it.
