This Love (A Stemily Fanfiction)

21. If they wanna see my sweet side, my best side, I just point at you.

       

Emily's POV

"Emily Bett Rickards, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Stephen asked, on one knee. Tears were streaming down my face, uncontrollably, I nodded my head.

"Yes. Yes. I want to so much!"

He slipped the perfect princess cut diamond on my finger and placed his lips on mine.

"I love you!" He screamed at the top of his lungs and I immediately shushed him.

"We're in a hotel remember!"

"Oh shit!" He erupted in a roar of laughter and threw himself on the bed face down.

I lied down next to him and he calmed down, laced his fingers with mine and as he laid next to me, facing me, he smiled, the most genuine and beautiful smile I had ever seen from him.

"You're beautiful."

I felt my cheeks grow hot. I didn't understand why I was still so shy around Stephen. He could easily make me blush and he knew it. I had gotten the man of my dreams, yes it was unconventional, yes we had plenty of rough patches, but we were in love and I knew that this loved would last forever. As cliché as it sounded we were meant to be. He played with my hair and we stayed in complete bliss, but it didn't last long.

His phone started to ring and he groaned as he sat up and grabbed it off of the night stand.

"It's my mom. She probably wants to try and convince us to still go to the reunion." He said annoyed.

I sighed and sat up, rubbing his back. "We can go."

He ignored the call and turned to me. "What?"

I smiled. "We can go."

"Are you sure?" He spoke with so much hope, I knew he really wanted to go and it was important to him for me to be there, I had never met his dad, officially, and this was something that I was willing to give in for. Stephen had done everything he possibly could to make me happy and I was going to do the same for him.

I nodded. "This is important to you and I want to make you happy. If Cassandra is there, she will just have to deal with the fact that I'm going to be your wife now and I'm not going anywhere, no matter how hard she tries to get rid of me."

He pulled me onto his lap and kissed me.

"You know I never had anyone I could truly count on, until you walked into my life." He smiled and rested his head on my chest.

We sat like that for a moment until we had to get up and get ready to go.

Italia's POV

I was helping Andrea set up the tables when Robbie pulled me to the side. "What's going on?" I asked worriedly.

He smiled.

"Rob! What's going on?! You're freaking me out with that Joker grin!"

He laughed and handed me his phone.

I unlocked it to see a message from Stephen.

"She said yes? What does that mean?"

He rolled his eyes and pointed at my engagement ring.

I furrowed my brows and then it hit me.

"Oh my God!" I started to jump up and down excitedly and Robbie quickly calmed me down.

"You have to keep it down. This is a secret. They are going to tell everyone at the reunion." He explained.

"In front of Cass? I mean I know she totally sucks at being a decent human being, but that is kind of cruel."
