Fascination

Part 36

Céline opened her eyes still sleepily ... She looked out the window, it was day. She turned to look for him, he had already left. She sighed deeply and got up sitting on the bed.

"Oh my God, it's today" - she told herself.

She grinned as she looked around and saw many red rosebuds scattered across the bedroom floor, around the bed. And as she was about to get up, she saw a red envelope with a gold seal on the nightstand. Near it a white rose. She realized there was something underneath. She sat on the edge of the bed and took the envelope. She saw that it was a long, large navy box. She picked it up, it had a velvety texture. Very thin. When she opened it, she was amazed at the beauty. It was a set of shiny white gold jewelry. A very delicate but very shiny choker. A pair of delicate earrings, full of sparkling dots. And to complete a bracelet with the same details as the choker. She gaped. The brilliance hurt her eyes. It was a beautiful gift from too much.She set the box on the nightstand again. She retrieved the envelope and opened it with shaking hands. Inside was a letter written for her love. She opened it carefully and tears soon stung her eyes.

"Good morning my life...

I hope you had a good night's sleep. I had ... After making love so passionately with my future wife, how could I not? I think you've seen the gift I left you. I hope you enjoyed it, I chose it myself. I looked for jewels that were worthy of a queen. I think these come close to this, I believe there are no jewels worthy of you in this whole world ... See the brilliance of these? Because they can't even compare with the brightness of your beautiful smile ... The brightness that illuminates my life ... I want you to know that today I will be the happiest man on earth, because I will receive into my hands the greatest gift anyone could ever get ... You. Of all I have in life, you are the most precious ... Every second that life gives me, I will thank God for bringing me you ... I will put you as a seal upon my heart forever ... I promise you that I will move heaven and earth, so that you are the happiest and most accomplished woman in this world ... I will not say the most beloved, because that you already are. And finally, I want to thank you. Thank you for the beautiful gift you are giving me ... I already love our children as you can not imagine ... They are the inheritance of our love. These jewels are nowhere near the value of this precious gift ... Thank you for making me feel what love is. I love you infinitely...

Yours forever ... René. " 

She sighed deeply and raised the letter to her lips. Her face was soaked with tears that she shed as she read ... And wondered what she did to be entitled to such great happiness in life ... She would keep that letter forever ... But she knew she was already in his heart like a tattoo. She closed her eyes and remembered the day he had proposed to her a month ago in Malibu. She loved this man so much that they didn't even have words in the world that could express that ... Is was strong. Intense. It was love.

She folded the letter back and put it back in the envelope. She picked up the white rose and inhaled the still weeping smell.

"I love you my love ..." - she murmured as if the rose represented him.

She stayed for a few more minutes, a silly smile on her face. But she had to get up. Anne would soon be there to help her get ready. The dress Anne herself had designed every detail. She got up holding the sheet in front of her body as she wore nothing. She went to the window and peered through the curtains. Everyone tidying up the garden for the party. Everything was getting perfect. The way she had dreamed. It was her day. The day that would become Céline Marie Claudette Dion Angélil ...

Céline took a long shower. With fragrant salts and all sorts of bath spices possible. As soon as she emerged from the bathtub, she heard Anne's voice invade the room brightly. She emerged from the closet, dressed in a white robe. With a huge smile on her face. Anne looked around and was startled.
