Chapter 179: The best day ever
River POV
He wraps a arm around my waist and puts my arm around his neck, he takes my other hand in his and holds it to his chest. "Just breathe baby I've got you just follow my lead" he says slowly moving my body with his. Other people are on the floor dance with us now.
He pulls me so close to him I lay my head on his chest just following his body and listening to his heart beating. He kisses my head. The music stops. He takes my hand and leads us back to our table he pulls the chair for me again.
"Thank you Honey" I say as he smiles at me. We eat and just talk. We talk about everything we can think of just getting to know each other. We make plans for things to do together. We talk about a camping trip, he's surprised that I've been fishing before and I actually liked it. A house I lived in the longest was a great couple with a few younger kids. They loved to fish and took us all the time. I really liked it after I caught on how to do it. I really wanted to stay with them longer then I did but I fucked that up, after 9 months being with them one night terror ruined it all. I haven't thought about them in a while. That was also the first I had a birthda cake. We had BBQ with a few friends and some neighbors It was so much fun.
"Kitten are you alright. You went blank for a minute" he looks concerned "Sorry just thinking about a birthday I had in foster care. It was the family who taught me to fish. They also gave me my first cake. I'm sure my mom and brother did something but I was too little to remember. It was just a happy memory " I say smiling at him. I'm drawing circles on his hand with my fingers while we watch some dance show they do during dinner. They open it up for us to dance. I hurry and order another glass of wine as he pulls me to the floor with him.
This time he wraps my arms around his neck.
"When you said you were taking me dancing this isn't what I thought you had in mind" I say sighing in his arms. He's holding me tight playing with my hair some more. I love how his fingers feel in my hair. "I like this way just as much as the other kind of dancing, either way I get to hold your body close to mine" I look up at him and laugh "So it's was just a ploy to feel me up?" He laughs looking down at me, then he slowly leans down and kisses me tenderly. He sighs as he pulls away "It was a ploy to hold you close to me so I can kiss you when I want." he laughs. He caresses my cheek gently. We just swaying to the music looking into each other's eyes.
We are sitting down drinking are drinks when everyone on the waiting staff starts singing happy birthday to me. My face is hot and I'm straight red when their done, Pickle records it all of course. They bring me a huge piece of chocolate cake with a candle on it "Make a wish Kitten" he smiles smiling at me.
For the first time in my life I really didn't have anything to wish for. I just wished for both my fiance's to be safe and happy.
Pickle keeps smiling at me then they bring out some champagne and some slow romantic violin music starts being played. Pickle stands and walks over to me and takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor. He takes one hand in his as he slowly lifts my other one around his neck.
He lifts my hand out and gently slides a ring on my finger. My breath catches and my heart speeds up. I stop moving completely to look at it. It's gorgeous it has a diamond in the middle and two different colored stones on each side of the diamond and some small ones running down from it.
"It's one that we designed together for you. The ones on the sides are our birth stones. Yours is the diamond, mine is ruby" he says pointing to the red one on the left "and Finn's is sapphire" he says pointing to the deep blue one on the right.
"It's beautiful" I say holding my hand out and tears streaming down my face. I've never had something so beautiful in my life and they worked together behind my back to have it designed just for me. "I can't believe you guys did this for me." He caresses my cheek "We wanted you to have a ring that represents both of us and we didn't think it would be reasonable for you to wear two rings. I'm really glad you like it"
I can't quit looking at it, it's so beautiful, what he said just hits me "Wait this is my engagement ring?" He kisses my hand and nods his head lightly "You are now officially engaged Ms McFoy to two devilishly handsome men. How do you feel?"
I jump in his arms letting out a little high pitch squeal, everyone around starts clapping for us as I hold out my hand as way of explanation.
"Congratulations you two we brought you out a bottle of champagne on us" the waiter says as he helps lead us back to our table as they have some more dancers going on for a show.
We feed each other chocolate strawberries that we ordered and bites of cake as we drink our champagne and watch the show.
A little while later he gets the check while I go to the bathroom. When I get back he's waiting for me. Everyone congratulations us as we head out.
It's a beautiful night out he takes my hand and we start walking to the hotel. That's the best thing about being in town everything is all right here on the strip. We are heading to the room as we get in the elevator I look up at him "Our bags are in the car still. I could use my toothbrush"
"Don't worry Kitten I had Carter bring the car over here and had them bring the bags up for us"
I look at him surprised "You really planned out everything didn't you" I stop walking and wrap my arms around him "I had help" he laughs and we both say "Chailor" at the same time. I hold my hand out behind his head to look at my ring.
He kisses me slow till he turns it deeper.
"Happy birthday River" he says when the kiss ends. He takes my hand and leads us to the room. He uses the key card and holds the door with his foot as he picks me up bridal style and carries me through the door.
