JEREMY stood quietly at the doorway of the master bedroom the very next morning. The early morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room.
His gaze softened as it fell upon Jasira still wrapped in the comfort of sleep. Her jet black hair spilled over the pillow, and a peaceful smile played on her lips.
His thoughts immediately travelled to the adventure the night before, it was indeed awesome.
With a tender smile, he tiptoed into the room. He had been planning this surprise for weeks, and today was the perfect day, he couldn’t wait any longer.
He approached the bed, carefully sitting on the edge. Leaning down, he brushed a stray lock of hair from her face and whispered, “Good morning, beautiful.”
Jasira stirred, her eyelids fluttering open. She looked up at him, her eyes still hazy with sleep.
“Jeremy?” She murmured, her voice soft and sleepy.
“Yes, love. It is time to wake up. I have something special for you,” Jason said, his voice filled with excitement.
Jasira’s curiosity piqued, and she propped herself up on one elbow, looking at him with a mix of confusion and anticipation. Something special?
“What is it? What js going on?” She inquired.
Jeremy chuckled, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
“You will see. But first, you need to get up and come with me.”
She smiled.
“That serious huh?”
Then she swung her legs out of bed and stood, her curiosity growing. She slipped on her robe and followed Jeremy out of the bedroom and down the hallway.
As they made their way through the house, her heart began to race with anticipation. Jeremy was always full of surprises, but this felt different, something extraordinary.
They got out and he began leading her towards the garage.
“This way,” he said pointing towards the location.
“Oh! Really,” she whispered the last word.
They reached the door to the garage, and Jeremy paused, turning to face her.
“Close your eyes,” he instructed gently.
This time, she burst into laughter, her eyelids flickering, then she complied, squeezing her eyes shut.
Jeremy opened the door and led her inside. The cool air of the garage met her skin, and she could hear the faint hum of anticipation in the room.
“Okay, open your eyes,” he said, his voice brimming with excitement.
Jasira opened her eyes and gasped. There, in the center of the garage, sat a sleek, brand-new Aston Martin DB11. Its metallic silver body gleamed under the garage lights, and a large red bow adorned the hood.
“Oh my God! Jeremy!” Jasira exclaimed, her hands flying to her mouth in shock.
“Is this… is this for me?” She inquired.
He nodded, his smile widening.
“Yes, it is all yours. Do you like it?”
Tears of joy welled up in her eyes as she rushed forward, her hands reaching out to touch the smooth surface of the car.
“Are you asking me that? I love it! It is absolutely stunning. I can’t believe you did this!”
Jeremy wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
“You deserve it, Jasira. For coming into my life, for everything you do, for all the love and support you give me. This is just a small token of my appreciation.”
Jasira turned in his arms, her eyes shimmering with emotion.
“Thank you, Jeremy. This is the most incredible gift anyone has ever given me.”
He leaned down, capturing her lips in a tender kiss.
“You make me happy every day, Jasira, I have never regretted asking you out. I wanted to give you something that would make you feel as special as you make me feel.”
They stood there for a moment, wrapped in each other’s arms, before Jeremy pulled back and handed her the keys.
“Why don’t you take it for a spin? I would love to see you behind the wheel of this new thing.”
Jasira’s face lit up with excitement as she took the keys from his hand.
“Let’s do it!” she exclaimed.
Then Jeremy went on to open the driver’s side door for her, and she slid into the luxurious leather seat. She ran her hands over the steering wheel, feeling the power of the machine beneath her fingertips.
Then he got into the passenger seat, and she started the engine. The car roared to life, and a thrill shot through her.
As they pulled out of the garage and onto the open road, the wind whipping through their hair, Jasira couldn’t stop smiling. With Jason by her side and the open road ahead, she felt like the luckiest woman in the world. So this was love.
To her, this car was more than just a gift, it was a symbol of their love, a testament to the incredible life they were building together. And as they drove into the sunrise, she knew that with Jeremy, every day held the promise of new and exciting adventures.

They returned after several rides round the estate, Jeremy immediately headed for his study and Jasira, for the bathroom. She hadn’t brushed, she had only just woken up and straight to the garage and then hitting the road.
“What a lifestyle,” she said and burst into laughter as she scrubbed the brush along her teeth.
As soon as she was done brushing, she went into the room to meet her phone beeping, and she walked up to it.
She picked up the phone and looking into it, she read through the lines of the text, it was from Lord Lucario, asking her to meet him in thirty minutes time.
She sighed deeply, finally, she was going to hear from him. Quickly, without even having breakfast, she left the house.
She got to the mansion at exactly forty minutes time, a young man walked up to her car to lead her to Lucario.
“Good morning Boss,” he greeted slightly bowing.
“Yeah, morning. Where is he?” She asked.
“Please come with me,” he said and together, they walked into the mansion and then, straight to Lucario’s study.
As soon as Jasira entered she began hearing voices, instantly realizing Lucario was with someone. She closed the door behind her and walked up to them.
“Lucario, I got your -“, she halted in her tracks, her remaining words arrested by the sight of the man with Lucario, seated and talking.
“Oh my!” She gasped, her eyes widened in utmost shock as she stared hard at the man.
He was Zach, uncle Zach, her long forgotten uncle.
