Falling For The CEO ( Better Version )

Chapter 32

Calvin's POV :

I wanted to surprise her by the dinner in London's most romantic restaurant. Clos Maggiore. I reserved the whole private dinner room just for us.

As we reached the restaurant and entered the recipient lady asked about if I have a reservation and when I told her who I am she turned from that robot to a sweet women.
She led us to the dinning room that was decorated exactly the way I asked.

Candles everywhere, red roses on the table everything was perfect.

"Did you planed for this? " Catherine asked raising her eyebrow.

"Maybe! " I stated smiling as I saw her happy twinkling eyes.

"I love it" she claimed kissing me.

After we sat the waiter came asking about our orders.

I ordered Honey glazed breast of Goosnargh duck with crispy duck leg pastilla and Caramelised Valrhona chocolate sensation for dessert and Catherine ordered the same too.

After dinner I had that feeling that I should ask her to marry me but I didn't have a ring or planed for it.

I'm sure that she is the one that I want to live my whole life with but what if she is not ready for this?

I have to admit that I was freaking out by her side as we was walking.

"Are you okay? " she asked.

"I'm fine. Why? " I asked her denying.

"You look lost in thoughts! " she explained stopping in front of me.

"I have something I want to ask you about! " I stated.

I kneeled down on one knee as her eyes became wider with every movement I was making.

"I know that this is not a proposal in Paris and it's not totally romantic and I don't even have a ring but I always follow my heart and he is ordering me to do this. Catherine Walden. I never loved before you and I will never after you. I want you to be next to me for the rest of my life" I claimed holding her hand.

"OH MY GOD! " she muttered.

"I love you like crazy. Will you marry me? " I asked.

"I... I love you too of course I will" she replied kneeling and hugging me while some people in the street were clapping

"Why are you crying? " I exclaimed wiping her tears.

"I'm overwhelmed! " she replied smiling.

"I love you... I love you " she mumbled kissing me softly.

As we came back to the hotel room Catherine couldn't wait to tell Emma about the proposal and I heard yelling and shouting of happiness while I was preparing the bath tub.

Catherine's POV :

As I woke up I couldn't stop staring at Calvin while he was sleeping.
His harmonic snores filled the room. He must be tired from yesterday's shower.

Yesterday was the best day of my life. He proposed to me! What else can be more amazing than this.

I know he didn't get a ring and it was out of the blue but I was happy. I never thought that all this will happen in only five months.

The Cupid's arrow was strong!

"You are staring at me for an hour now! " Calvin stammered pulling me close to him.

"Because you are too handsome! " I claimed ruffling his hair.

"And you are too beautiful and sexy! Come here! " he teased.

After a long day of meetings, attending conferences and winning bids, me and Calvin left together to NewYork in his jet.

It's not like a plane but a house.

We decided that the first thing to do when we arrive is to go and talk to dad.

And now we are in his car driving to dad's place.

"I'm here! Don't be nervous " Calvin stated taking my hand away off my mouth as I was biting my nails.

"What if he won't change his mind? I can't choose between the two of you" I claimed.

"He will change his mind! Don't worry! I will do everything to convince him" Calvin replied putting my hand next to his heart.

As we reached the house I felt like I'm passing an exam or something with the butterflies in my stomach.

I opened the door to see dad sitting on the couch and watching tv.
He glance at me and the at Calvin who was standing by my side.

"Dad! This is Calvin " I introduced him. Dad was already up and in front of me.

Calvin gave him his hand to shake but dad kept watching it and didn't even shake his hand back.

I felt the embarrassment that was on Calvin's face was some shades of anger.

"What is he doing here? " dad shouted at me which is very unusual.

"He is--" as was going to explain, dad started again "Get out of my house!" He ordered Calvin.

Calvin was turning to leave and the he stepped in front of dad and started "do you think that when I leave she will stop loving me or I will? I love her and I will the world for her! " Calvin was now red faced and tense up.

"I almost lost her because of you son of bitch! " dad yelled pushing Calvin to the door.

"I know I messed up, I hurt her but that doesn't change the fact that I couldn't live without her and that I was going to do anything to take her back! Sir, I know how do you feel but give me another chance! You don't even know me! " Calvin sttod there and looked more calmer.

"Please dad! " I muttered.

"You are on his side? After everything he did to you? " dad asked me with a look full of anger, disappointment and disbelief.

"He didn't mean to! And I can't live without him! Dad he makes me happy! " I begged him.

"Sir. I really love her and I swear to you that I will never hurt her or let anyone do that! All I'm asking you is to be happy for us, to support us and to be by our side" Calvin claimed with his hand around my shoulder.

Dad looked at him and then turned to face the wall while me and Calvin were watching his moves carefully.

A silence filled the room.

"He also proposed to me! " I mumbled.

Dad turned to face us and looked at me with teary eyes.

"Why you didn't say that from the start? " he exclaimed hugging me.

I cried hugging him.

"I love you and I can't live if something happens to you! You are my angel! You are everything I have" Dad stated cupping my face in his hands and wiping my salty tears.

"I'm sorry for what I said that day. I didn't mean it! " I mumbled

"Forget it! " he said.

"But you have so much work to do to gain my trust young man! " dad claimed tapping on Calvin's back.

"I will do everything! " Calvin assured him.

"Now who wants some wine? " dad asked.

"Come in! " I invited Calvin to the living room.

His steppes were nervous and unsure.

As he took a seat dad came with a bottle of red wine in his hand.
