Chapter 122 A Fairy Tale Proposal

Chapter 122 A Fairy Tale Proposal
The lawyer was furious when he learned that the husband of a woman he had helped had hurt Elizabeth. He had affection for her as one has for a daughter. At the same time, he thought that the woman must have suffered in silence for a very long time, and now at least she could decide whether she would stay in the new house or return to New York.

Elizabeth spent the week at home. She took good care of the wound, especially with her diet. The healing was like that of her wrists. It became a thin, small line. It looked like she had scratched herself recently. She applied makeup and easily covered the spot with her hair.

“Eliz, let’s go! Or we’ll lose the reservation…” Jonathan called her.

Elizabeth was wearing a long burgundy dress. Her taste in clothes had become more refined. She had ended up abandoning the clothes that Jonathan said were for a teenager. She had her hair loose and was wearing heels. Eliz was naturally tall, but she didn’t surpass Jonathan. This gave her the opportunity to wear some not-too-high heel models.

Jonathan drove to a new restaurant in Times Square. The place was on the rooftop of a building, open to the sky. They had a vegetarian menu that Jonathan was sure Elizabeth would like. The rustic tables and glass jars with lamps provided the lighting. The decoration was with small flowers. It was really a refined and rustic place at the same time.

They sat at one of the ends and started eating.

“Have I told you that you look beautiful? The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

“You said that the whole way… I love you and you look great too!” Elizabeth replied, smiling.

“Are you going back to work?” Jonathan asked while eating.

“Of course. I don’t want to stop. I studied to free women from people like that man.”

They continued eating and enjoying the live Jazz band that was playing. A little later, a rain of fireworks started near their table. At first Elizabeth got scared, then she stood up and leaned against the railing to look.

Jonathan stood up too and hugged her from behind.

“Jonathan, look how beautiful…” she said, and her eyes sparkled with the fireworks. Jonathan wasn’t even looking at the sky. He admired Elizabeth’s expression and saw the show through her eyes.

The fireworks formed drawings in the sky. First a heart appeared, then a rose, and finally a ring.

Many people were around watching the beauty of that moment. Jonathan moved behind Elizabeth. She turned to see what had happened. She put her hand over her mouth and had tears in her eyes, both in his and in hers.

Jonathan was kneeling on one knee and had a small box in the shape of a rose in his hands.

“Jonathan, what are you doing?” Elizabeth asked.

“It’s very hard to surprise you. It took me 12 years to manage to do this in a decent way. Elizabeth, will you marry me?”

Elizabeth gave a small smile. Jonathan really wasn’t very skilled with surprises. He ended up giving hints that he was preparing something or made it clear that he intended to give her a gift. But this time he succeeded.

“Jonathan, I don’t know if you forgot, but we are married…”

“No, you signed a fucking piece of paper and came to live with me. That wasn’t a wedding. Elizabeth, I want to fulfill at least this dream of yours. I know you have bridal magazines in your office drawer, but you never thought about having a wedding. I know you keep baby clothes in a shoebox. There’s no way I don’t blame myself for you not being a mother, but of these two things, one I can do. You will have your fairy tale wedding that you dream so much about. Now, do you accept or not? My knees are getting sore from kneeling for so long…”

“Of course I accept!”

Jonathan placed the ring on her finger, stood up, and kissed her under the applause of the other restaurant customers.

The day had been hot. Suddenly the rain started to fall. Many customers ran to the covered area. Jonathan, however, held Elizabeth in his arms and kissed her. He stayed like that for a few minutes, released her breathless, and noticed she was shivering from the cold.

“Let’s go home. I want to celebrate our engagement with you.”

They got into the car soaked. Jonathan took her home and there Elizabeth changed her wet clothes for a warm robe. Jonathan wrapped himself in a towel. She was removing her makeup while waiting for the bathtub to fill.

Jonathan approached and kissed her. He took off the towel and guided her hand to his rigid member. Elizabeth smiled and bent down. She used her mouth on Jonathan the way he liked. She stayed there for a few minutes until she felt tired and the bathtub was also ready for them. Jonathan got in first and Elizabeth positioned herself on top of him.

“Slowly, darling… Sit down slowly.” Jonathan took care of Elizabeth’s body in those moments. He would never forgive himself if she got hurt in any way, even unintentionally.

Elizabeth and Jonathan enjoyed the hot water, but soon the bathtub was almost empty because most of the water spilled with the movement.

Jonathan kept her on his lap until both reached the peak of pleasure.

“My beautiful, you transformed me with your love.”

“Not completely, because in bed you’re still a beast and I love you…”
