Tristan's Point of View :

As I stepped back into my bedroom I see Jess looking at me weirdly. I know that she's suspicious of me and knowing that I do nothing to take that feeling away from her.

Not saying anything I cross over to my closet and slip into my boxers, black jeans and a white button down shirt. I turn to find Jess still looking at me. I cross the room and took up my black vans and a pair white ankle socks. I lean over Jess and place a quick peck on her soft lips.


"I'm going to put on my shoes in the living room, you have 20 minutes to get ready...we're going on a date"

As I pull away from Jess I hear her let out a deep breath. Before I leave the room she jumps out of bed and starts to get ready.

"Be careful," I call out to her chuckling softly when she pushes me out the door closing it behind her.

I sit down and take my own sweet time putting on both of the socks and also the shoes. I already know that Jess would take a while getting ready. My thoughts are confirmed when thirty minutes later she steps out of the room looking so innocent yet sexy in a black lace knee length dress.

Jumping to my feet I pull her in for a long and passionate kiss. I run my hands along her waist delighted when I feel her shiver in my arms. I run my hands down to her hips and pull her lower body lock on with my own. A soft moan escapes her lips as I did this.

I can't help the groan that resonates through me when she run her fingers through my hair giving it a hard tug. I reluctantly pull away from her when I remember my plan. I look at her face full with love. I'm so glad I have her.

"That was something," she breathes deeply "I'm gonna fix my make-up"

With a soft peck to my lips she pulls away from me and goes into the bedroom. As soon as she leaves I run over to the guest bedroom and close the door. Walking to the bedside table I pull out one of the drawers and took out a small white box.


I open it to reveal a unique princess cut engagement ring. I jump when I hear a door close, closing the box and stuffing it into my pocket. I take a deep breath and open the door.
It's time.


Jessica's Point of View:

Tristan and I left his house to go down to his car where his driver is waiting. Tristan opens the door for me allowing me to slide in. He then walks around to the other door and open it just as the driver settles in his seat.


As soon as he sat down I move closer to him. He chuckles softly placing a soft kiss on my forehead before snaking his hand around my waist just on top of my belly. He slowly caresses my stomach causing me to feel so very cherished and most importantly loved.


"I love you," he whispers to me.
I look up at him dumbfounded by the look of pure love and adoration in his eyes.


"I love you too," I whisper back to him reaching up to peck his lips. I lean back down and cuddle his side instantly falling asleep.

"Wake up baby we're here"
I slowly open my eyes when I hear someone calling out to me. My vision was slightly blurry but after a second I could see perfectly fine. I turn to Tristan to find him already looking at me.


"Where are we?" I ask sitting up.
He smiles softly at me "it's a surprise...and I need you to wear this"

I look up at him sceptically as he holds up a red blindfold in his hand. I blurt out the very first thing that comes to my mind, "are you gonna kill me?"


"What? Of course not," he rolls his eyes at me laughing at the same time.


"Okay," I sigh dramatically earning another eye roll from him.


I turn facing away from him and allow him to put the blindfold over my eyes. When my eyes were completely covered I couldn't see anything and in any other circumstances I would be afraid but I know that Tristan is close to me and so I feel safe.
"We're gonna step out the car baby"

I nod to his words letting him know that I heard him. He helps me out if the car and I carefully put my feet on the ground. I take a step, a cautious step forward with Tristan's hands secure around me. I am just about to take another step when I am suddenly swept up into strong arms. A shock gasp left my lips, the fact that I could not see means that my other senses were heighten and the feeling of being in his arms was a lot more intense.

I wrap my arms around his neck as he start walking somewhere. It is about a minute later when I feel myself being put onto a comfy chair. I just sit there completely nervous and unsure of what is happening. I am pleasantly surprised when I hear my favorite song "unconditional" by Katy Perry playing in the background.


I was humming the lyrics of the song when Tristan interrupts me, "you can take the blindfold off now"

Not needing to be told twice I take the blindfold off and stare at the sight in front of me. I am sitting in the center of a circle made out of rose petals and red and white candles, with Tristan standing in front of me.


I don't say anything, especially since I am at a loss for words. Everything looks so beautiful and Tristan seems to be very nervous.

I jump out of my seat when Tristan goes down on one knee. I clasp a hand over my mouth as he starts to speak.

"Jessica I know that we haven't had the best experience over the last few days but I want you to know that I wouldn't ever want to go through it with anyone else. I see a part of you in me and a part of me in you and that's why I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Marry me?"


I slowly wipe the tears from my eyes and take a step closer to him. Taking a deep breath I speak, " I don't think..."
