Those Three Words - (Beau Brooks / Luke Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty Six - I Never Stopped Loving You

Lily had a quick look around my rooms and said how wonderful it looked. I got my phone out of my bag to give everyone a quick call, including my mom wishing her a Merry Christmas. Then I came across Beau's name, and even though he cut off yesterday because I said we couldn't see eachother, I thought it was ideal to give him a call. He ignored it. I could tell because there were only two rings, and normally it takes at least 5 to go to answer machine. I decided to call again but this time it went straight to answer machine, so he quite clearly turned his phone off. I think he wanted me to know he was ignoring me.

Beau's POV

It seems rude now, but at the time I thought it was the normal thing to do, keep ignoring her. It got to about 5pm and Luke mentioned a party, some guy called Liam, I guessed that was our plans for the night. We both took showers to clean ourselves up from the gym, so it was about 6 when we were ready. Mum said we had to go to a family get together for an hour, and trust me, it was the longer hour of my life. When we finally got away, we set off to the party where Luke and Jai said we were meeting Daniel and James.

"Here we are! Just on time" it was 7:00pm which seemed pretty early for a party, and it was pretty quiet for a party, something didn't seem right.

"Are you sure this is the place?" I questioned as we walked up the path.

"Yeah, just wait.." They both giggled and continued walking. Originally I would anxiously be waiting for Bella to pick me up for my little suprise, but her friends had to get involved and spoil all of our plans. We knocked a couple of times, I thought maybe the music was too loud. I knocked the third time and the door pushed open. The house was empty and dark apart from a few candles making dim light.

"Er guys, I think we have the wrong house.." When I turned they were driving away, shouting out of the window, "You'll thank us later!" Then as I turned my head to the ground in confusion, I spotted Bella's red docks on the floor. Of course Bels said she was going apartment shopping, but this was a bungalow? I strolled over to the dining room table to find two plates filled with mouth watering turkey, ham, roast potatoes and vegetables.

I felt two arms snake around my waist, causing me to jump a little, but Bella's touch soon made me feel warm inside. I turned to face her and she looked beautiful. A tight, red dress complementing her figure and her bum, and her eyes dazzled in the candle light. I stroked some hair from her cheek to behind her ear, and my eyes flicked back and forth from her eyes to her lips. I didn't know whether it was appropriate to kiss her, but she looked so damn beautiful.

"Merry Christmas." She broke the silence, and her words filled me with happiness.

"Merry Christmas baby." I knew she liked it when I called her baby, because every time I did, she smiled and her cheeks lit up.

"Would you like to eat?"

"Of course, it smells delicious." I said, she held my hand and led me to the table. "I'd like to thank you for inviting me tonight, your house is gorgeous, even if you were sneaky about it." She laughed.

"Yeah, well everything's better when it's a suprise." Our eyes connected, she blushed and looked back at her food. "So, did you like your present?" She looked down at my wrist, noticing it was on.

"It's amazing, but Bels I left yours at home, I didn't even think we were coming here and-"

"Don't worry about it, how were you to know?" She reached out to my hand, "i love you"

"And i love you." Both of us smiled lovingly at one another. "So what else do you have planned for us tonight? I honestly hope it involves you out of that dress." I smirked at her and she gasped.
