A chance meeting with Glen

Deleriously happy to.....

They were the most beautiful words I'd ever heard. 

It was something I was really not expecting.I was shaking like a leaf ,tears streamed down my face but I don't think I had ever been this ecstatically happy.

"Y.y.y.yes" I managed to stumble the answer.

"Nothing would make me happier than being married to the man of my dreams,Glen you are the love of my life,Yes I'll marry you! "

Tears were now falling down his face ,I'd never seen him so emotional but it made me love even more if that was possible. 

He took my hand ,gently kissing it and placing the most stunning ring on my finger.It was a platinum diamond encrusted band with a princess cut diamond solitaire. 

"Oh my goodness!Glen!It's so beautiful!"

I get down on my knees so I am looking into his stunning blue eyes and even though it's pelting snow and freezing cold,I don't feel a thing. 

It's a snowy Christmas night,the man I adore has made me incredibly happy.Our eyes meet and under the snowy sky and twinkling lights we share the most intense kiss,eventually we break apart. 

"I love you so much Aimee",Glen smiles.

"I'll never be able to put into words just how much I love you Glen but know I will spend every day showing you."

He takes me by the hand and helps me up from the snow covered ground and leads me inside.

I just slide down onto the sofa looking down at the dazzling ring on my finger in total amazement.Glen arrives back in carrying a bottle of Bollinger rosé and a couple of champagne flutes.The fire was flickering,Christmas lights twinkled and it was still snowing outside. 

Glen popped the cork and poured some champagne,

"Here is to us,to the beginning of the rest of our lives together,I can't wait to start the next chapter with you Aimee,I love you"

We clink our glasses and cross arms and take a sip from each others glass. 

I lean in capturing his soft lips,which are still a little cold from the chilled champagne which adds to the intensity of our perfect kiss.

"I love you too,my husband to be.H"is eyes sparkle even more.

"So should we tell anyone?" he asks excitedly.

"Of course baby I know you're dying to tell the guys"-I laugh because I can see it in his eyes. 

"Yeah well they kinda knew what I was planning ,I was gonna wait until new years eve but when it started to snow I knew I had to do it then,it was like a sign because I know how much you adore it."

"Well how about we ask them over tomorrow night and we can tell them then."

Glen texts Mark and Dan and they both say they can make it.We decide on telling our families face to face and to tell Luke first thing in the morning. 

"I think we should still try and keep us a secret Glen" I say softly.

"Yeah I thought you might say that and I understand it,I do.But I want to tell the world you're mine and we're getting married" he sighs. 

"In an ideal world I'd love that too baby but you're a member of a world famous band with a lot of girls thinking one day they'll marry you and the press,you know how much twisted rubbish they make up.It's just you know I'm not comfortable with the attention."

We agree to keep it to just family and close friends.We talk about possible dates for the wedding.Glen will be so busy in the new year,it will be crazy.I think we should wait,enjoy the tour,enjoy the adventure together and maybe look at this time next year. 

"I'd marry you now!" he grins "but yeah I think we should enjoy whats coming and have fun together."

I get up to go make some coffee for myself and tea for Glen.Ah we're out of milk,I grab my keys there is a 24hr garage not too far away.

"I'm just gonna go to the garage and get some milk hun",I poke my head around the door to tell Glen. 

"No way! it's freezing!" he protests ,"I'll go, you stay warm in front of the fire and anyway I'll be faster than you" he says kissing me passionately and taking the keys from me before heading out the front door.

"Love you Glen",I shout after him.

I run upstairs,he will be 15 minutes or so. 

I bought the most beautiful night gown and he hadn't seen it yet.It was black,silk,full length with a flirty scoop neckline and plunging back with lace detail.I let my hair down,touched up my make up and spritzed on a little more perfume.I couldn't wait until he came back so I could get my hands on him. 

I went back downstairs and boiled the kettle again and put some more logs on the fire as all of a sudden I felt a real chill it,was weird it was like a breeze rushed over me. 

Half an hour had passed.He's probably met a friend or fans and if it was the latter he could be ages.I curled up and began watching the Christmas episodes of the soaps we had recorded.It was now an hour and a half but then the doorbell rang.I opened the door laughing and saying what are you like.......but it wasn't Glen.Before me stood two police officers.

My legs turned to jelly. 

"Hello madam, is this Glen Power's residence?" the female officer asked.

"Yes I'm his fiancee, Aimee" I stammered. 

"I am afraid he's been involved in a road traffic collision,she continued"

"What?!?How ?!He was walking!",tears were tripping me now.The police officer continued. 

"It appears he was hit when somebody lost control and mounted the footpath"......I could see her lips moving but it wasn't clear what she was saying.She gently took me by the arm leading back inside. 

I was paralysed by fear ,I collapsed onto the floor.

"Mr Power is in a critical condition,you should get dressed and come with us she explained."

I ran upstairs pulling on some jeans and a sweater.

The police brought me to the hospital and I was taken to family room while the nurse went off to find a doctor.All sorts went through my mind but I managed to call Mark and tell him to come to the hospital.He is better in a crisis,I needed his strength.

How could we be so deliriously happy and in an instant everything changes ?.
