Euphoria (Book Boyfriend Series 3)

by Erin Noelle

  I’d love to say he walked in that day, swept me off my feet again, and we rode off into the sunset and lived happily ever after, but it isn’t reality, and actually it isn’t even the ending of most books anymore.

  “Mommy, Auntie Andi says it’s time for us to get married,” a sweet, tiny voice interrupts my thoughts.

  I turn around to see my precious daughter standing in the doorway, dressed in her light-pink sundress and flip-flops. Laughing, I walk over to her and pick her up. “Did Auntie Andi say that you can get married in those shoes?” She nods with a big grin on her face. “Well, in that case, I’m wearing my flip-flops too. You don’t think Daddy will mind, do you?”

  “No, Daddy and Everett have on their new black Chucks. He said you’d like them,” she says with a giggle.

  I roll my eyes as I set Ashlynn down on the ground. “I don’t care what they wear, as long as we all get to get married.” I bend down to kiss the top of her head. “Now go tell Auntie Andi that Mommy will be there in five minutes.”

  As she takes off down the hallway, I spin around to look at myself one last time in the mirror, taking a deep breath. Mase and I didn’t get to this point the conventional way, and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it to anyone else, but it’s how our book had to be written in order to get the ending just right.

  The wedding ceremony is perfect—even with Ashlynn announcing her need to pee in the middle of the vows—and the reception is even better. I couldn’t stop smiling as I witness our friends and family eating, dancing, and having an overall great time. As the evening comes to an end, Mase comes up to me and grabs my hand. “I’ve got a surprise for you.”

  He leads me and all the guests outside then walks over to the event coordinator and whispers something in her ear. Returning to me, he stands behind me and circles his arms around my waist, pulling my back close to his chest. A song begins playing through the outside speakers, and he starts singing lowly into my ear. Then suddenly, the sky fills with butterflies, thousands of them. I stand there in complete awe, looking up into the heavens as the beautiful creatures blanket the sky.

  He continues his serenade “Come to me, my sweetest friend. This is where we start again…” When the song is over, he turns me around in his arms and presses his forehead to mine. “Scarlett Alexandria Templeton, I have finally found my euphoria.”
