My eyes peeled open. I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand. I wasn't with Ethan anymore. I went downstairs looking for him. There was a hot meal on the island waiting to be eaten. I looked to see if anyone was around then I quickly ate it. I got up and washed my plate. I was about to walk out when something caught my eye. It was a neon green index card.
'Eat up love, don't want you to go hungry. Next hint in our bathroom~E' My heart fluttered at the sight of our. I then made my way upstairs into the bathroom. There were candles lit everywhere. Rose pedals were scattered all over the floor. The bathtub was filled to the brim with bubbles and even more rose petals. I saw another neon green card placed neatly on the towels.
'Take a dip my love, the water is perfectly warm. Also the smell is what your scent smells like. Next card in the closet~E' I stripped from my clothes and dipped in. The bubbles smelt of vanilla and rose. I breathed in deeply. I was in the tub for a good while. I stayed there until the water turned cold. I got out shivering from the cool breeze and wrapped a white fluffy towel around myself. I then walked into my bedroom and went into the closet just like the card said too. I opened the closet slowly. There was a beautiful floor length red dress in a clear plastic bag. I carefully pulled the zipper down. I pulled the dress out of the bag and laid it down on the bed. There was again a neon green card at the bottom of the bag.
'I thought this would look lovely on you, go ahead try it on this is to show that you look gorgeous in whatever you wear. Ps, there are some black heels just under the dress. ~E' I looked down and saw them. They were also just as gorgeous. I let the towel slip off of my body as I pulled on my undergarments. I then carefully pulled on the dress carefully not to damage it. I then walked over to my body mirror. I looked myself up and down in the mirror. The dress clung to my body perfectly. It was tight until it got to my thighs then flared out. The only thing the was wrong was that my whole scar was on show. It made me slightly subconscious. Other then that the dress was beautiful. I walked over to my vanity and tried to see what I could do with my hair. I then got the perfect idea. I fishtail braided on section of my hair then pinned it back and curled the rest of my hair. I then applied makeup. After I finished I slipped on the heels. I then walked out and down the stairs. I gasped tears filling my eyes. My whole pack was here and there was path of rose pedals leading up to Ethan. He was wearing a simple black suit. He was down on one knee. I wanted to run to him and embrace him. Something in my body told me to keep a steady stride up to him. I couldn't exactly make out what was the writing on the card and it wasn't until I was close enough to read what was on it
'Will you marry me?'
Stella told me to run to him and that is exactly what I did. I ran as fast as my feet would let me. I finally reached him my smile hurting my cheeks while tears slipped out of my eyes.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" I said.
He laughed at me and picked me up. My arms were tightly wrapped around his neck. He then set me down and slipped the ring on my finger. I gasped at how beautiful it was. I was a simple silver band with white diamonds on both sides. In the center of the ring though there was a big diamond. Ethan then connected our lips. It was the kiss that I was waiting for. I couldn't imagine getting engaged any other way. I finally started to see a future together with Ethan. Yeah we were going through some shit right now but, tonight we could finally get over that. I could see it now. A room with a crib, me in a rocking chair with a small baby boy resting in my arms. Ethan leaning over us rubbing my pregnant belly. I could just see our future together perfectly. I wouldn't have it any other way. Yes I did hate Ethan there for a while but, he finally wanted me and I wanted him. I love him.
"Whatcha thinking about?" Ethan said. We were now in our bed. I was wearing one of Ethan's t-shirts and panties while he was laying shirtless in some basketball shorts. I was fiddling with my ring getting used to the feelings.
"Us, the future, the fact that I love you" I said the last part quickly. Ethan looked at me, I knew he heard me and I just shyly smiled at him a blush swimming in my cheeks.
"Y-you love me?" Ethan said. I simply nodded my head looking down at my hands feeling stupid. Tears developing in my eyes. I'm so stupid I should have waited. I'm such an Idiot. Ethan gently grabbed my face in his hands and kissed me. This kiss was nothing like the others that we had shared. There was true passion in it. Our lips locked and Ethan crawled on top of me. His hot lips went down my neck and trailed down to where my neck and shoulder meet. He looked at me for approval. My old mark had faded and had disappeared. It was because of the fact that it wasn't with pleasure or any love. For the mark not to be rejected it has to be with true pleasure and love. I nodded at Ethan to continue. His fangs slipped into my flesh. I gasped at the pain that quickly turned into pleasure. I moaned as he licked the wound shut. He then kissed me and I did the same thing to him. I looked at him for approval. He nodded and I marked him. We both felt the mate bond grow stronger. That night that very special night we mated. Let's just say it's a night we both wouldn't forget.
