“I’m here,” I hear him say and someone switches on the light.
“Why are you hiding? You are supposed to lead her here.”
“Right.” Realization dawns on him and he hurries out of the hall.
The light goes off again and I stand in the middle of the dark hall, my heart beating fast. A million thoughts race through my mind as I wait for the door to open. After what seems like forever, the door finally opens, but not the way I expect it to.
It is thrown open and Bella yells, “Jaxon Hunt! Why have you not been picking up my calls?! You had me so worried I had to cut short my appointment.”
I go red at her words. “Who turned off the lights,” she yells again. And the lights suddenly come on with me staring wide-eyed at my angry bride. Petals fall around me and she gives me a skeptical look. She is not amused.
She walks up to me. “Of course, I will marry you. Who else is going to love me as much as you do?”
“I…what…I haven’t even asked yet,” I exclaim and she rolls her eyes.
“I am an event planner, Jake. I know a proposal when I see one.” She looks around. “Great work on the design though.”
“I did it.” My sister materializes beside me and I make a sound at the back of my throat. This is not going how I planned it.
“Congratulations honey. Welcome to the family.” Jessica pulls Bella into a tight hug. Everyone comes out of hiding and starts clapping, shouting their congratulations.
I make another sound at the back of my throat as she smiles at everyone. “You guys were in on it? Thank you so much.” She covers her face with her hands as tears flood her eyes. That reaction is supposed to be for me.
She suddenly looks at me and smiles. “When are you going to put the ring on my finger, Mr. Hunt?” She is enjoying the fact that she ruined my surprise.
“You didn’t even let me get on my knees,” I tell her, frowning.
“You can do that later in my office,” she whispers and my mood magically lifts. I slide the ring onto her finger and everyone hoots and claps.
I bend down and grab her mouth in a passionate kiss and the hooting gets louder.She is mine.
The End.
