“I know baby,” I reply.

He kisses me gently again.

“I’m glad you did because we wouldn’t have what we have today if you hadn’t, Joshua.” I smile softly.

Our lips meet again and he gently dusts my forehead with soft kisses. “Natasha, I am a very rich man but I didn’t know the true value of wealth until you came back into my life. Everything was meaningless.”

My eyes tear up at his words.

We stop dancing again. “Do you know how much I love you?” he whispers as he tenderly takes my lips in his, his tongue gently swiping into my mouth.

I smile again through tear-filled eyes and nod through the lump in my throat.

The song changes to ‘The Power of Love’ by Gabrielle Aplin and I smile broadly. This is without a doubt my most favourite song of all time. Her hypnotic voice hums.

Dreams are like angels

They keep bad at bay

“You are pulling out the big guns tonight, my Lamborghini.” I smile as I kiss his shoulder. I am loving that he knows my favourite songs now.

“You think.” He smiles as he kisses my forehead.

I nod as my eyes close on his shoulder. This is turning out to be the best night ever. He suddenly pulls from my grip and drops to his knee and my eyes widen.

“Natasha, you have been the biggest blessing in my life and it’s one that I can’t carry on without.” He fusses around in his pocket and my eyes widen when he pulls out the biggest ring I have ever seen. I hold my hands over my mouth in shock.

Is this happening?

“I didn’t even know what true love was until I met you. You are the only woman I have made love to, the only woman I have loved… will ever love. I need you to marry me.”

I stand still with my hands over my mouth in shock, my eyes filled with tears as my beautiful Lamborghini is down on one knee. He pulls my hand out and slides the ring onto my finger. Through tear-filled eyes I hold my hand out and look at the ring on my hand.

“Are you going to answer me?” he asks nervously.

I’m in shock. “Is this real?” I whisper through my tears.

He nods lovingly. “Yes presh, it’s as real as it comes.”

I giggle and start to nod. “Yes, yes.” I grab him in an embrace. “A million times yes.”

He stands and grabs me and squeezes me hard, my tears rolling freely down my face. “I love you,” I whisper.

“I love you too, so much,” he whispers into the top of my head as he showers my face in kisses.

Holy shit.

I pull out of my fog and look at my hand. Bloody hell, it’s huge. A thin rose-gold band and an oval diamond… let me rephrase that, a frigging huge oval diamond. It is without a doubt the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I shake my head with my hand held out. Joshua smiles and grabs me, his lips taking gentle possession of my mouth. I’m too excited. I pull out of the kiss and look at my hand again.

“I don’t believe this.” I smile as I bite my lip in excitement.

He shakes his head in amusement and walks over to the table and drinks his margarita in one gulp and I laugh.

“That was fucking nerve-wracking,” he stammers.

“Oh, as if you were nervous,” I tease as I pick up my margarita and sip it. “You knew what I would say.” I smile.

“I didn’t know what you would say. This life of mine is a lot to take on. Even for me.” He widens his eyes to accentuate his point.
