Chapter 75 Chapter 75
Kieran’s POV
Jess pushed me out of the way so that she could grab out some underwear and I voiced my opinions on the fact that none of it was lace. I know she was planning on just kicking alien arse, but I was wanting to see her in some sexy under garments. Once we were both dressed, we made our way down to the dining room and took the last two seats. I was impressed as Even Romeo had a bowl of food and water near where we would be sitting. Jess gave him the ok and he walked over and started eating while we took our seats. I grinned when Alice asked Jess who did her hair but frowned when her friend’s made comments about me doing all their hair. The only hair I ever plan on touching is Jess’s or if we have a daughter our daughters. I would not be playing hairdresser to her friends.
Nicole came over to us to take our order, and my mouth started to water when she mentioned garlic bread. I admit it was probably not the best thing to order when I am hoping to get some more action when we get back to the room. But I love garlic bread, and I am sure that Jess would not mind as I could always just brush my teeth. The others all ordered soup, and I had a feeling it was due to the mention of the fresh bread that came with it.
Nicole went away again, and I turned back to Jess to let her know that John and I would go back to her place first. That meant that we should make the most of tonight as this might be our last night to get some full alone time for a while. I was already thinking about all the things I wanted to do to her before finally falling asleep with her wrapped tightly in my arms. I saw Jess wipe a tear away and I wanted to tell her that she did not need to be sad, that I was here to stay but the food arrived before I could say anything. We were all enjoying our meal to say much after that. The garlic bread was to die for, and I could not wait for the main, even though we did not know what it was yet. I was kind of jealous that the people who didn’t want to fight with us got to eat like this while we were eating crap.
Nicole came back when we were done and listed of the mains, Jess and I both chose the beef with veg and mash. The beef was so tender that it melted in my mouth, I noticed that Jess was giving some of hers to Romeo and decided to do the same. I didn’t want her dog to hate me since I was moving into his space. We finished our meals and then it was time for dessert, I was trying to figure out what to get as I wanted the chocolate pudding and the fruit tart. Turns out Jess was on the same page so we decided to get both and go halves. She was so perfect for me, and I decided since we were having a nice meal with her family and friends that I should give her a proper proposal. We ate our half of our desert and then swapped causing Justin to start complaining that he didn’t get two puddings. I saw Nicole rush off and didn’t think anything about it until she came back with another pudding for him. Jess had to point out in dummy terms that Nicole liked him. He finally realised and quickly got up and chased after her. I guess he would not be present for the proposal then. Alice started to gush getting excited about Justin finding a girl that likes him and made a comment that she might actually get grandbabies. What the hell I was more than happy to have kids with her daughter.
“If it makes you feel better Mrs. Jones I would love to have children with your daughter. Actually, on that note. I know that I said I would wait until this is over but well, I don’t want to” I chuckled as I got of my seat and dropped to one knee “Jess, I love you with all my heart. I was a fool to follow orders and leave you. I can promise you though. I will never make that mistake again. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Jess, will you marry me?”
“I already told you yes on the cliff” She chuckled “But this does feel more proper, Yes I will marry you”
Now I would just need to find a way to get her a ring, the money side was not an issue. I was just not sure when business would open as usual. I looked around me and noticed that the people at the other tables were all cheering for us and Nicole came back out of the kitchen with Justin by her side and a bottle of champagne. Nicole started to fill the champagne flutes and hand them around the table. Alice started to chew Jess’s ear off wanting to know if she would be able to plan an attack on the aliens and plan a wedding. I let them talk as I looked over at Bob and winked, he knew that Jess would not be doing any planning. Her friends will be, but Jess won’t have a clue if I had anything to do with it.
“If you all don’t mind, I think that I might steal my lovely fiancé for the rest of the evening” I told everyone as I went to stand up
“We will all meet here at 0600 hours to head out to Jess’s place. Is that understood?” John growled
We all confirmed we understood and then I grabbed Jess’s hand and dragged her to our room.
