One bet, One love

Chapter 16

  *One random day*

  - I'm in love with you! For real this time...
  James words made me melt.
  - Wait what?
  I was still shocked.
  - I'm not kidding. I know you may not trust me, but i just wanted to get it of my chest.
  I got closer to his face. I could see him blush.
  - Well, I'm in love with you too, from the very start.
  He smirked.
  - Well, if I'm being honest, I've started to like you after the first day i saw you.
  And then, we kissed! YAY! I was the happiest!

  After that day, we started dating for real this time. No more bets. No more fake love. Just the happy things between me and James, that one day, we'll call memories.
  A more shocking thing, was that Ashley and Blake started dating. So Bl+Ash was real.
  Everything was really going great for everyone.

  8 years later...

  - Are we there yet? I asked James.
  He told me that we were going with the car to a surprise.
  - Almost... We're here.
  He parked and we got out of the car.
  It seemed like an empty place, but James put a blindfold on my eyes.
  - Do you really have to blindfold my eyes? I asked.
  - Yes. It's not called a surprise for no reason.
  We started walking, James being on my side. He said the directions so it was easier for me to walk and not trip.
  After we arrived at the destination, i took off the blindfold from my eyes, and i was too stunned to speak.
  James was proposing to me in the most romantic way possible. Behind him were roses and candles, and a panel that said "Will you marry me?"
  - Will you... be my wife for the rest of our lives?
  - YES! A million yes!!

  2 years later

  I was walking on the wedding aisle, everyone looking at me, smiling and crying.
  James looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.
  Whe i got near him, the priest started sayng his words, and when he came to the most important questions, i couldn't wait more to answer to them.
  - James, will you take Eleanor to be your wife, in sadness and happiness, health and sickness, in the highs and the lows?
  - Yes, he responded.
  - Eleanor, will you take James to be your husband, in sadness and happiness, health and sickness, in the highs and the lows?
  - Yes.
  - You may now kiss the bride!
  Everyone clapped when we kissed.

  The next months were amazing!
  James and i bought a new place we can call home, decorated it, and lived in it.
  Ashley and Blake moved to another country, but we still talked from time to time.
  Carl and Bianca got married, like me and James, and moved to a city closed to the one we lived. They sometimes visited, and the relation between James and Carl was getting better everytime they spoke to eachother.
  Life really was amazing. When things were bad, i knew i had him. And he knew he had me.
