My Devious Soul

Eye-Opener

Yana's POV:
As we got ourself ready for the dinner with my parents,I remarked that Elijah was about to add a tie to his outfit.

"Why are you wearing a tie?"I asked confused while putting my high heels on."I always do."He just replied while tying it in front of the tall mirror.

"I mean,we're just having dinner with parents...it's nothing special."I explained nonchalantly.

He turned around and replied funnily"What?Am I not allowed to look handsome tonight?Are you afraid that I'll steal the spotlight?"

I started laughing while shaking my head and standing up.

I wrapped my arms around his neck when I arrived in front of him and he wrapped his arms on my waist being all a smile.

"I'm just afraid that other women will steal you away from me."I said smirking,he bit his lip and replied"I would not leave you for anything in the world."And kissed me.

As we broke the kiss,he approached my ear and whispered softly"Une surprise vous attend!"Making my heart beat fast.

After ten minutes,we drove to the Manhatta restaurant where my parents were waiting for us.

"This is for you,mon amour."Said my father while handing me a Prada present bag,I smiled appreciating the gesture and thanked.

We first ordered the drinks and so our chat started too.

After a long time,Elijah's phone rang.He took it out of his pocket and stared at the screen quickly then back at us,"Excuse me for a moment!"He said and stood up walking away.

He returned back after a minute,"Is everything alright?"I asked with a low voice while my mother and father were talking to each other,Elijah nodded with a smile.

The food arrived and so we started eating.

Time passed and so it was 11:55 pm.

Suddenly my eyes remarked two waiters coming in our direction,one with a white cake in the hands and they other one with a Moët champagne bottle and four glasses.

Arriving front of us,Elijah and my parents started singing the happy birthday song.

My heart started laughing and I blushed since all the attention was aiming me.I didn't know how to react and I just sat there still and being all a smile.

At the end of the song,everyone started applauding and Elijah stood up from his seat and then got down on his left knee while his left hand was in his blazer pocket.

Everyone cheered while my eyes widened and my mouth was half opened.He held out the same jewelry box I found three days ago,he opened it and watched me in the eyes with a bright smile.

"Since the day you came into my life,you have changed me and everything,you have something special that I didn't find in any other women."Elijah maintained making my eyes water.

"I don't think that it was a coincidence,but I know for sure it was meant to be."He stated making everyone listen to him.

"That's why I'm kneeling in front of you to give you all I am and promising to make you happy."Elijah claimed making my heart beat fast.

"Yana Claude,will you marry me?"Elijah asked the big question making everyone waiting for the my answer.

For a moment I forgot about anyone and anything and I only saw Elijah in my eyes kneeling there with hope in his eyes and a smile on the face.

"Yes!"I responded and nodding with tears of pride in my eyes.

Everyone cheered while Elijah took the ring out of the box in put it on my finger.He got up and so I did and we kissed each other while the cheering was all around us.

We slowly broke the kiss after a few seconds and watched each other deeply in the eyes.

"This is the most beautiful present I ever had."I stated gratefully.

Elijah chuckled and then whispered"I love you!"

I whispered back all smiling"I love you,too!"

And we kissed again.

Then a waiter cut the cake while the other one poured us a glass of champagne.

"Congratulations,you two!"My mother said being proud of us.

"And happy birthday,mon amour!"My father wished me with a bright smile.
