Ian Somerhalder: A Twisted Love Story

Chapter Ten

I get out of the taxi, and try to shake off this feeling I have. Tonight's the night I'm going to make things fall in place. I checked my right pocket, and find the ring I had my assistant secretly buy at the jewelers. The diamond is huge, one big one surrounded but a bunch of tinier ones. Perfect for the most beautiful lady I've ever met. Realizing I've been thinking to myself for awhile, I buzz the intercom for apartment 20.
"Hello," Nicole says.
"It's Ian."
"Oh hi honey, come on up." I quickly rush up a few flights of stairs, realizing I could've taken the elevator instead.
*knock knock knock*
"Wow," I blurt out immediately as she open the door, "you look so beautiful." I feel compelled to kiss every inch of her body. I feel myself giving everything in a single moment, and have to pull myself off. I realize so was Nicole, and it takes us a moment to pull completely apart.
"Come in," she says.
"You have a nice apartment. Very spacious."
"Thank you. Would you like a tour?"
"I would love one, but I have reservations for us, and we're a little late."
"Then we better hurry." I help her put on her coat, and from behind I can smell the scent of green apples in her hair.
"So where are we going?"
"You'll see," I wink. I lead her down stairs and we head towards our romantic evening. Finally, we arrive at North Park Blocks.
"Follow me," I say as I open her door. I had my assistant order a man and a carriage for our stroll through the park.
"Oh my, Ian what is this?"
"Welcome to my dream date. That was cheesy let me start over. I've always seen this in the movies and I thought I would do it one day for a special girl," I feel myself panicking a little as I squeeze the ring's box tightly.
"Oh Ian this is so romantic."
"Hop in." The entire ride she  gaze at the beautiful park sights, and I'm glazing at her.
"God you're beautiful," I says manage to say. She blushes, which drives me crazy. Who knew blushing would be so attractive.
"So what else does this night have in store for us?"
"I was thinking we could have a picnic on the deck of my hotel room. Then we'll see where the night takes us."
"That sounds perfect." We get back to my hotel, and when I lead her out to the deck we're greeted by a beautiful candle lit spaghetti dinner. I realize now's the perfect time to profess my love.
"I love you Nicole, I'm crazy about you. Everyone says this is a bad idea, but to me it's the best decision I've ever made in my life."
"Oh Ian, I love you with all my heart and not cause you're famous but because you make me feel more alive then I've ever felt."
"I never want to lose you, and I want to give you all that I have." I get out from my chair and bend down on one knee. "I hope this isn't too soon, but I want to be with you until the day I die. So Nicole, will you marry me?" My heart is pounding non stop, she sits there silent. For a moment I feel like an idiot.
"Ian, of course I'll marry you!" The weight on my shoulders lifts as she says those beautiful words. I quickly get back up and kiss her. "But first, I have something to tell you."
"Anything my love."
"I'm..." She pauses for a moment, "I'm pregnant."
