Chapter 248
Nicol
I couldn’t believe it Nicolas was standing on his knee in front of me asking me to marry him. I thought it would take longer, I wanted to scream “Fuck YES” but for some reason I didn’t want to sound over eager. He was still looking at me with the question on his lips and I haven’t given him an answer yet was I deciding if I was going to spill it out just how much I want to or say yes politely I went with telling him exactly how I feel “Yes Oh my God Nicolas yes yes yes a thousand times yes.” He got up from the ground and wrapped me in his arms the few people that was sitting around us must have heard because they were congratulating us. Nicolas didn’t care about the people around us he dipped me and kissed me probable a little longer than he should. He suddenly pulled away from me “Fuck the ring, I’m so nervous I forgot about the ring.” That was the time the waiter came with our mains, when he saw what was happening, he said “I can bring this back later, keep it warm.” “No please just put it down.” Nicolas said as he pulled the box out of his pants pocket and opened it to me, there where 2 stones it looked like one was bigger than the other, it was absolutely beautiful. He slipped the ring on my finger and while he was doing that he explained “The one diamond is resembling me and the other is Nikki then here.” He pointed “When the baby is born, we will add another stone.” “It’s so beautiful and so thoughtful. Thank you, Nicolas.” He leaned in and kissed me again he whispered in my ear “You know what? All I want to do know is take you home and make love to you the whole night long.” “We can skip dinner.” “Oh no missy what I have in store for you you will need your energy so let’s eat.”
He pulled out my chair again and we both dig into our main course, it was absolutely delicious everything about tonight was amazing. “I need to tell you something.” Nicolas said. “Okay?” “I took Nikki out of school today but like before lunch.” “Okay?” I said wondering where this was going. I didn’t say much I wanted him to say what he needed to say. “I took her for high tea.” “Oh, I’m sure she loved that.” “Oh, she did but the reason for the high tea was to ask her if I can marry you?” I was shocked I mean Nikki has his surname she knew this was coming sooner or later, why did he have to ask her. Although it was cute. Before I could say anything, he said “I know she knew we will get married sooner or later but now I’ve made her part of it I even gave her a diamond ring.” “You did not?” “Off course I did, the two of you where alone for 12 years I needed to make her part of this and I needed to give her a ring.” “But a diamond ring?” I asked still a bit shocked. “It’s an investment either way and something she will always remember and the person that ask her to marry her some day better gift her with a bigger diamond than what I got her.” I had to laugh at that. “What? I told her today if a man doesn’t open the car door for you or pull out your chair, he is not worth it so he better get her a fucking huge stone.” “Okay it’s still a long way until we get there Nicolas we can calm down on that front.” “I’m just preparing her.” “I know tell me more about the high tea and how did you ask her?”
While we ate Nicolas told me how Nikki enjoyed her high tea and how he got on his knee to ask her to marry me and how embarrassed she got that she told the whole restaurant his her father. I had to laugh at that I could actually see why she would get embarrassed if a much much older man goes down on his knee in a restaurant full of people. He also told me she will be waiting for us to find out what I said and to look at the ring off course. “You do know she will be a sleep, right?” “Yes, but I still gave her permission to wait up for us.” When the waiter came back for our plates another waiter came with Crème Brule and on the plate was the words Congratulations spelled out in chocolate. “Thank you.” Both Nicolas and I said.
After dinner and dessert off course Nicolas helped me out of my chair took my hand and walked out of the restaurant with me it was like he was walking taller and his chest was puffed out like he wanted everyone to know we just got engaged. I did understand that because I wanted them to know it to but then or hell broke loose as a photographer saw us and saw my hand with my ring. “Mr. Brown are you engaged?” He screamed at Nicolas. “Leave us alone.” I didn’t totally get why Nicolas was so angry at the photographer I mean this will come out sooner or later. When the photographer asked Nicolas again are you engaged, Nicolas grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him against the wall. “You better not release any of this on any platform or in any papers.” “So, you are engaged.” Nicolas let go of him as Geoffrey came running towards us. “I’ll handle him.” Geoffrey said. “No take Nicol to the car I’ll speak to him.” “Nicolas are you sure?” I tried. I was actually afraid to leave the photographer alone with Nicolas, I’ve never seen him this angry before. “Nicol, I won’t hit him I promise you just go with Geoffrey; I’ll get you at the car.” “Okay.”
