Video: Marry Your Daughter. (In this story, it's Marry your Angel)

Chapter 44

Angelo's P.O.V

"Something is not right. Why would he not call me? I swear if he's cheating on me, I'm so gonna cut his balls off! I don't have to order Sebastian to do it. I'm going to do it by myself!" I cried out of frustration.

Apparently, it has been two weeks that I haven't seen Daniel in person. I have been out of hospital for almost three months now. Ever since I got here in Sydney to live with my parents, Daniel never ceases to contact me. There was never a day and hour that he never talked to me.

This time, I know something was up and Daniel was not being honest with me. Although Jared talks to me as always, his dad seemed like he was avoiding me. Whenever I asked Jared where Daniel is, Jared will just tell me that he is either busy or with Alex.

"Would you calm down Mr. Grande. Sit your ass and breathe." Veronica snapped at me. We were at my room. She has been watching me pacing back and forth and ranting about Daniel being cold or avoiding me.

It's not that I was being clingy or something, it's just after all that happened to us, I am not taking any chances to be away from Daniel. It is already difficult not seeing him every day, it is much worst not hearing from him at all.

I stopped pacing and seated on my bed next to Veronica. "I'm not sure if I did something wrong." I sighed. "This is not so Daniel. He always tells me what's wrong. I think I should go back to Brisbane today."

Veronica snickered. I threw her a confused looked before she burst out laughing and rolling on my bed. After she calmed down, she seated back on my side while wiping the tears off her eyes. "Tell me Angelo, have you and Daniel had sex together yet?" she said so bluntly that I forgot about going back to Brisbane instantly.

My face quickly went red from embarrassment and I couldn't think of any answer.

"I..uh..We..uh..." I stuttered. I remembered the embarrassing moment when I undressed in front of Daniel and begged him to make love to me because I was so broken from Nathan's illness.

"I'll take that as a no. Well, let me remind you that Daniel has his needs. Unlike you, I don't think the man can be celibate for a very long time."

I looked away from Veronica as my tears started to formed on my eyes. "Do you think he's doing it with other people? I mean, we never had sex before. Honestly, I never had sex with anyone before and I don't even know how it works. I don't want to disappoint him. He never mentioned it to me anyways. Do you think I disappointed him and he found someone else to release it?" I whispered, disappointed about myself.

Veronica's teasing face morphed into concern."No. No mate. I didn't mean it like that. Of course Daniel will never cheat on you. And I'm pretty sure he'd rather not have sex than to lose you. It's just that you also have to remember that sex is a part of relationship. Are you even ready?" she asked.

I thought about it for a while.

She pulled out her phone and typed something. Seconds later, she held her phone up in the air and said, "Found it!"

I titled my head to the right, "Pardon?"

"Here, let me read it out to you. This is a quote by John Moffi. It says "We mistake sex for romance. Guys are taught that pushing a girl up against a wall is romance. Sex is easy; you can do it with anyone, yourself, with batteries. Romance is when someone you like walks into a room and they take your breath away. Romance is when two people are dancing and they fit together perfectly. Romance is when two people are walking next to each other and all of a sudden they find themselves holding hands, and they don't know how that happened."

That was so beautiful. Romance is what Daniel and I have.

I also remember Sonia, Daniel's mum, told me about the verse that defines love. '1 Corinthians 13:4-8: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.'

Sonia told me if I have doubt about Daniel's feeling towards me, I should just replace the word 'love' into Daniel's name. I closed my eyes.   In my mind, I thought, "Daniel is patient, Daniel is kind. Daniel is not envy, Daniel does not boast, Daniel is not proud. Daniel does not dishonor others, Daniel is not self-seeking, Daniel is not easily angered, Daniel keeps no record of wrongs. Daniel does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Daniel always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Daniel is my love.

"I think I am." I answered.

"Great! Now that you are ready, just let Daniel guide you. He's is the experienced one. Just go with the flow. Relax and feel every moment. Enjoy it. Trust him." She said.

I nodded and heaved a deep breath. "Thanks." I said and picked up my phone from the nightstand.

I started dialing Daniel's phone. "Who are you calling?" Veronica asked.

"Daniel. I'm telling him I'm ready to have sex with him." I answered.

Veronica quickly rushed in to my side to  grab my phone. She threw it on the bed. After then, she hit me at the back of my neck. "You idiot! That's not how it supposed to work. You can't just tell him 'Oh Daniel, I'm ready for you to stick your sausage on my bun. Come over and take me!" she screamed.

My face once again reddened from embarrassment. I'm not used to talk about this sort of stuffs at all. "What do I do then?" I asked, while massaging the heated skin from Veronica's slap.

"Let him do the move. As much as you don't want to admit it, you my mate, is the girl in this relationship. Daniel is your knight in shining armour and you are his damsel in distress. So let him conquer his quest before you give him the prize." She explained.

I wasn't sure if I got what she meant but I nodded nonetheless.

"Arggh. You didn't understand what I mean, did you?" she asked annoyed.

"Nope." I answered, popping the 'p'.

She sighed in defeat.

We stayed in my room talking about her and the guy she was dating. There were also times that she caught me thinking deeply and she'd convince me that Daniel is faithful in me and will never cheat on me.

Hours have passed and we didn't realized that it was already dinner. Sebastian knocked on my door to let us know that the dinner was ready.

Veronica stood up excitedly. "About time!" she squealed.

'That's too much excitement for a dinner.' I thought but shrugged and walked out of the room, trailing behind Veronica.

We found my dad and mama seated on the dining table already and talking in a hush tone. My mother was pretty excited and almost jumping up and down her seat.

My parent's started talking in more affectionate manner than before. It took my mum for a while to give my father a second chance, but I guess she really couldn't resist my dad after all. My father stays longer in the house unlike before and he always make some time to do a bonding moment with us. I'm happy to say that I'm achieving the 'family' that I was dreaming before.

Before we came in sight, I pulled Veronica's hand to stop her. "What is happening? Why is every body seems so... excited?" I asked.

She turned to me with the biggest smile plastered on her face. "You'll know soon." She said and walked to the dining table.

My mother looked at me with shining eyes while my father just smiled and nodded at me. I crooked my right eyebrow upwards and seated on my spot on the right side of dad.

"What's going on? You're making me nervous." I told them.

Veronica was grinning like a Cheshire cat while my mother was bouncing on her seat. After a while, the three aunties emerged from the kitchen with the same excitement. As usual, the three aunties were too obvious to hide their emotions.

"It's ready!" the three aunties said in unison.

"What's ready?" I asked.

I looked at my mum but she was too excited to talk, so I turned my attention to my father. "We have a surprised for you." He said.

He looked towards the hallway leading to the living room. After a while, I heard footsteps running closer to our direction. When the footstep became clearer, it revealed a smiling and excited Jared.

I stood up surprised as he was running towards me. When he was just meters away, he jumped on my arms and I easily caught him. He gave me a kiss and hug before I set him down.

"How did you get here? Who are you with?" I asked.

"I'm with daddy." He answered, bouncing up and down.

I looked at Veronica and the rest of the Grande family members, including Sebastian who was standing behind me.

They all gave me a quick nod as I looked back at Jared.

"Where is he?" I asked.

Jared took my hand and pulled me to the front yard. "Daddy has a surprised for you!" he said as he continued to pull me towards the living room.

I could feel the rest of people in the house trailing behind me. I could hear the women squealing.

When we got the front yard, I was surprised to the view that was revealed on me.

I gasped. "No way. You didn't."

Daniel's P.O.V

2 weeks ago...

"How long has it been?" Alex asked me while we were sitting on one of Merlo's kiosk next to my work building. He's eyes were radiating pity and sympathy all at once.

I looked at my shaking hands as I tried to pick up my cup of cappuccino. "Ever since we started dating." I answered.

Alex's eyes bulged and it looked like it was about to popped out of his socket. "Are you kidding me? How did you even manage to do that?"

I sighed. "I don't really know how." I answered honestly. "I feel like I'm going to explode anytime soon or I might jump on someone if this will take any longer." I said and looked at him.

He looked taken aback and leaned out from me. "Don't look at me. As much as I love you as my best friend, I will not, never in my life, have you fuck me."

I almost fell from my seat laughing out loud. The other customers sitting around the shop were looking at our direction. I mumbled a sorry to no one in particular and I looked back at Alex who was by then throwing me a death glare. "Don't worry mate. The feeling is mutual."

"Wait a minute, have you even ask Angelo about your needs? You can tell him that you guys doesn't have to go all the way yet. He can always give you a blowj—..."

I cut him off before he could continue what he was about to say. "I get it mate. Gosh. I didn't realized that it was really weird when someone else is talking about Angelo like that. Just don't." I said.

He grinned like an idiot and leaned his back on his chair.

"So to answer your question..." I continued. "It's a no. I mean I was always blunt to someone when I wanna get laid. But when it comes to Angelo, my tongue felt tied up. My heart was beating up so fast to the point that I was too scared to even say the word sex in front of him. I'm scared that he might think that I just want to screw him, which I really do, but also because I really love him. I'm afraid that he might be disgusted in me and leave me. I rather not have sex forever than the idea of Angelo leaving me." I said, almost running out of breath.

Alex shook his head. "You really are so in love, mate." He said as he took a sip from his latte. "I have an idea. Why don't you ask him to marry you?"

I looked at him like as if he grew two heads. "What?" he questioned.

"You're kidding me right? I mean, gay marriage isn't even legal in Australia. How am I supposed to do that?" I asked.

"Let me say it once again." He said, and slowly, he continued, "Why don't you ask him to marry you?" he repeated.

One again, I looked at him confused. "I still don't get it."

He sighed defeated. "I'm wondering how you are the best law student in class."

"I WAS. Not anymore." I corrected. I decided to quit on law and shift it to psychology. Jared's condition motivated me to do it and I find it really interesting. About a month from now, I'm about to start my first year as a psychology student in uni.

"That's what I'm telling you, you grammar freak!" he swung his hand in the air in annoyance. "Ask him to marry you, but not marry him right away. That way, you two are engage to each other and you can live like a couple and do thing what couples do. Ask him into a commitment ceremony. It wouldn't be legal, but does it matter if you two are committed to each other?" he explained.

Instantly, Alex's words made sense to me. My lips turned into a very wide grin. The old lady facing my direction looked at me like I was a psycho.

"I think I have an idea. I want to make it unforgettable. Let's bring the squad together and planned my proposal very well. We'll keep it a secret until it's ready." I said as we started dialing Veronica and Dianne. Veronica suggested that we should involve my mum, Angelo's parents, and the three aunties in planning. We agreed to meet up the following day.

2 weeks later...

I got a text from Veronica that Angelo is already fuming with anger with me. I couldn't blame the guy though, it was all my fault. I have been really busy preparing for my surprise for him to make it memorable, if not perfect.

Another reason is that my best friend Alex decided to tell the gang about me being celibate for too long. And so, the girls decided to separate me from Angelo before I jumped on him and make an unnecessary action due to my raging hormones.

I had to think about excuses whenever Angelo was on Skype or on the phone. Somehow, the Grande family managed to keep Angelo in Sydney for two weeks. That means I haven't seen my angel for so long,  long enough for me to weaken.

But finally, here I was, standing in front of Grande mansion, wearing a tuxedo and my hair was firmly combed. I was holding a microphone in front of me while Alex and the QUT band was setting their instrument behind me.

I took a deep breath.

Dianne noticed how my nerves were killing me. She walked to my position and straightened the bow tie that was trying to choke me. "Take a deep breath and you'll be fine. You've practiced for this every day for two weeks. To be honest, your singing skills have improve. From sounding like a dying horse to let's say.." she paused and put her right index finger on her chin as if thinking. "You sounds more like Jason Derulo." She beamed.

I snorted and laughed at the same time that I sounded like a choking pig. "Aww Dianne, do you want my autograph now?" I teased.

"Maybe later mate, when you managed to pass your exam." She teased back.

"Were ready!" Alex told me and my heart started to beat erratically.

Sebastian nodded towards us and went inside the mansion. The plan was to trick Angelo into having a dinner, have Jared to take him outside and do my presentation, which was singing. I spent all of my time practicing the song and Veronica even got me a voice lesson and a teacher.

"Let's do this!" I said.

After a while, Angelo, wearing only his pyjamas, walked out of the front door surprised. I heard him gasped and said, 'No way. You didn't'.

Jared pull him into the circle made of red rose petals. He stood up there looking around his surroundings. He was probably surprised how the Grande front yard looked like from fairy tale. The girls and the three aunties decorated the yard with roses and lots of fairy light. The entire yard was shining warmly. The lights looked like fireflies flying around us.

I heard the drumstick of the drummer signaling the start of the song. 'Here it goes.' I thought.

With final deep breath, I started...

Sir, I'm a bit nervous

'Bout being here today

Still not real sure what I'm going to say

So bear with me please

If I take up too much of your time...

(I was a bit out of tune for a short moment but I continued.)

See in this box is a ring for your oldest

He's my everything and all that I know is

It would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side

'Cause very soon I'm hoping that I..

Can marry your angel

And make her my spouse

I want him to be the only boy that I love for the rest of my life

And give him the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah

I'm gonna marry your prince

And make him my king

She'll be the most beautiful groom that I've ever seen

Can't wait to smile

When she walks down the aisle

On the arm of his father

On the day that I marry your angel.

(I looked at Angelo as his tears started to blurred his eyes. I fought back my tears wanting to finish my performance without crying like a baby.)

He's been hear every step

Since the day that we met (I'm scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left)

So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad

I've got most of my vows done so far (So bring on the better or worse)

And till death do us part

There's no doubt in my mind

It's time

I'm ready to start

I swear to you with all of my heart...

I'm gonna marry your angel

And make her my spouse

I want him to be the only boy that I love for the rest of my life

And give him the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah

I'm gonna marry your prince

And make him my king

She'll be the most beautiful groom that I've ever seen

Can't wait to smile

When she walks down the aisle

On the arm of his father

On the day that I marry your angel.

When the song was finished, I walked to where Angelo was standing. Background music from the band hasn't stopped yet.

I took Angelo's hand and guided him in front of his parents, who were standing behind him.

"Ma'am, Sir, with your permission and your blessing, I would like to ask for your son's hand in marriage." I asked politely.

Maria was leaning on his husband's shoulder and couldn't seem to say a single word. It was Nicholas who spoke. "Daniel, I've seen your dedication and love towards my son. Please do not hurt him like I did. Love him like I should have a long time ago. Give him the comfort and affection whenever he needs it. He is our only child, our one and only angel. And so whatever Angelo's decision is, then we will gladly support it." He said and patted my back.

I looked at Angelo and held his hand. I brought both of his hand on my lips and kissed it. "My love. I'm sorry for ignoring you these past few weeks. Believe me when I say it was one of the hardest things that happened to me. But let me make it up to you..." I look around to find Jared. When I saw him standing beside Dianne, I mentioned him to come closer.

Dianne gave Jared a gentle push before he walked towards us, grinning from ear to ear. He held his small hand to me, revealing a red box. "Thanks buddy." I said and kissed him on his forehead before he went back running to where he was standing before.

I looked back at Angelo once again and slowly bending my one knee. With my one bended knee, I opened the box to show him the ring I bought for him. It wasn't the fancy one, it was just a 24 carat gold with three stones embedded. The words Philippians 2:2 were engraved on the inner side of the ring.

"Philippians 2:2. What does it say?" Angelo asked.

I smiled at him and said. "'Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.' I know same-sex marriage is not even legal here in Australia yet. But I sure hope that it will be soon." I said while placing the ring on the tip of his finger.

"Angelo Achaia Alcantara-Grande. Will you do the honour to be my husband and marry me? Well, someday soon." I asked on my bended knees.

Angelo smiled at me as he cupped his right hand on my face. "Daniel James Greyson-Bradley, yes. I will marry you." He said.

I slid the ring on his finger and embraced him tight. Loud cheering were echoing around us as everyone gathered to congratulate us. Jared was the first one to tackle me and Angelo. Everyone else followed.

Everyone went inside to have some dinner. After the meal, one by one bid their goodbye, leaving me and Angelo alone. Each of them has a weird excuse. The three aunties were going out to a club, which was a little bit weird. Alex and Dianne told us that they needed to get back to Brisbane right away and Veronica were just being Veronica- teasing us non-stop to take it slowly before she walked away.

We were at Angelo's bedroom taking a rest after a heavy meal. Angelo was seating on his bed while I was watching him from his computer seat, fidgeting non-stop with his finger and blushing. I swear it was the cutest thing that I've seen in my life.

As to break the ice, I decided to speak up first, but we ended up speaking at the same moment. "I'd like to tell you something."

We looked at each other for a moment before starting a laughing fit. When we calmed down and the awkward tension between us was gone, I said, "So do you want to go on first?" I asked.

"No. No. You can go on first." He answered.

My heart began to throbbed so hard in my chest and I was worried that Angelo might heard it. I gulped to relief my dried throat. "So... I uhhh..." I said, don't even know how to start it. "I don't know how to say it actually. Let me show you." I stood up from my seat and walked towards him.

I leaned on his face and captured his sweet plumped lips. It caught him surprised and he didn't responded for a while. But when I licked his bottom lips asking for entrance, he slowly opened his mouth and granted me permission to taste his sweetness. Out tongue danced together in sync as if we were dancing to soft and intimate rhythm.

Angelo fell his back on the bed, me on top of him before we broke the kiss, gasping for air. I looked at him in the eye. His orbs were fully black, the eyes that I've missed for so long. I kissed his forehead while he was catching his breathing. I kissed his nose and cheeks and nipped at his neck. I was granted with a soft moan of pleasure that sent shivers down my groin.

His breathing became laboured and I could feel his heart beating at the same rate as mine. "I want to make love to you." I said.

Angelo looked at me with his black eyes. I feel like I was looking through an oblivion or a galaxy where there were no stars. He smiled to me and replied, "I am ready. Make love to me."

Slowly, I undressed him. I took his shirt off revealing his smooth chest and erect nipples. I started to kiss his neck down to his nipples, each of it giving the same attention. He moaned softly as he reached for my head and grab a fistful of my hair gently. "Uhhh... Daniel." He moaned.

"Let it go, love. I want to hear you moan." I said and continued to suck his nipples. He moaned a little bit loud than the previous ones. Each moans gave a massive determination on my pulsating cock.

I broke my distance from him as I undressed myself. I took my shirt first followed by my pants and my boxers, revealing my cock, standing proud and excited.

Angelo looked at me wide eyes and blushed. When he realised that he was watching me for some time, he diverted his gaze around the room but me.

"Love, look at me. I want you to look at me. I am all yours and there is nothing to be embarrass." I said as I hesistantly walked back towards him.

He was still blushing when I kissed captured his lips once again. He kissed me back with the same intensity like mine. I was on top of him. My cock brushed on his stomach and I felt him shivered.

Slowly, I took off his pyjama and left him on his boxers. "God. You are so beautiful." I said and started to trace his stomach with butterfly kisses and played on his boxer.

Angelo moaned as soon as I touched his bulge, which was already wet with pre cum. "Daniel..." he said.

I shivered at the sound of my name. I have been with a lot of girls before but only Angelo has this effect on me. Even when it was with Chloe, it wasn't as intense as it is right now. Angelo can put me to euphoria with just saying my name.

I pulled down his boxers revealing his pulsating cock. I leaned closer and kissed his groin. I crawled back up and captured his sweet lips. We both moaned at the pleasure of feeling each other's warmth.

We were both panting but no one wanted to stop. Our cock were rubbing each other as my hand explore his soft body.

"Are you ready?" I asked.

Angelo smiled at me. One thing I love Angelo is that him being a hopeless romantic. He remembers every romantic quotes from a book and movies that we watched.

"Who makes you happy?" he asked. I recognised the question instantly.

I kissed his forehead and answered, "You do."

He cupped his hands on my face, "What's the most important things in your life?"

I kissed his nose and replied, "You are."

"Where would you rather to be?" he asked, wiping the sweat on my forehead.

"Nowhere." I answered.

He looked at me in the eyes and asked one last time, "And when will you leave me?"

I kissed his lips and replied, "Never."

Tears fell down from his eyes and I kissed it away.

Angelo smiled at me and leaned closer to my lips. "Proceed."
