We Found Love

Chapter 19

"Please fasten your seatbelts and prepare for our descent." Announced the pilot. In a world of his own, Jeremy had neither spoke, or looked away from the book he was 'reading'. He was more worried about what was going to happen when they landed. Jeremy had to get to Scarlett's hotel, he knew that much.
Meanwhile, Scarlett had managed to hail a taxi and was on her way to the set to film some parts of the film she was able to do, and talk to Joss and her co-stars about what was happening. They needed a plan of action.
Upon arrival, Scarlett smiled as she saw everyone waiting for her. She climbed quickly out of the taxi, paying the driver then walking to the fellow stars. Wives and girlfriends were first to congratulate her, and gave her little gifts which she told them wasn't necessary but gratefully accepted them after some persuasion. "So where is the lucky man?" Susan, Roberts wife, asked. However, these women were still awaiting their men's arrival.
"Well, the last time I spoke to him, he was either on the plane or at least at the airport. I haven't heard anything since." Scarlett smiled softly, though her heart ached to see Jeremy again.
"We're all so happy you're together, we've all been rooting for you two." Mrs Hemsworth smiled. "You're perfect for each other." She nodded, Scarlett couldn't help but grin.
"I just wanna keep this baby on the down low. If the media knew too soon.. I just, I don't want paparazzi following myself and Jeremy around. And even more after the baby is born." Scarlett said softly, surprised in herself that she was planning ahead.
The girls seemed to nod which reassured Scarlett. They shared a few more hugs before Scarlett left to find Joss.
At this time, Jeremy was collecting his suitcase, taking his bag and finding his way out of the airport to jump into his taxi he had called. He went straight to his notes where he wrote Scarlett's hotel address. He slid into the car as the driver put his suitcase in the back. Jeremy read out the hotel address, the driver nodding before starting the car.
---------------
Within the next couple of hours, Scarlett and Joss had drafted a plan on how they would go about their current situation. They would film Scarlett's scenes early as she didn't have a bump yet, and everything else should be fine, except not being able to go to press, comic con and so on.
After the small meeting, Scarlett was quick to do small scenes which didn't require a lot of fighting, before deciding to go back to her hotel. She called a taxi then dialled Jeremy's number. "Hello?" She asked when the call was answered.
"Hey, baby." Jeremy said, a smile brightening his features as he paced around her hotel room.
"Did you manage to get here?" Scarlett asked hopefully, her smile huge.
"Baby, I'm so sorry.." Jeremy had to act like he never had before in order to convince her. "The plane was delayed." He sighed.
"Wh-.. How long?" Scarlett asked, clearly disappointed.
"A few more hours. A day at the most." Jeremy lied, and he felt so terrible for it. He walked around the room, lighting candles. "Baby, I'm really sorry.." He whispered after some silence.
After a slight sniff, Scarlett answered. "It's okay." Jeremy's heart sunk when he realised she was on the verge of tears.
"I'll be there soon baby. I promise." He told her, and it became a little easier to act. "Did you speak to Joss?" He asked, trying to change the subject as he got the room ready.
"Yeah.. om.. I'm doing my scenes early.. so the pregnancy won't be noticed." Scarlett told him, to which Jeremy nodded as he sprinkled rose petals about the place.
"Sounds good. How are you doing? Yknow, with the pregnancy." Jeremy asked.
"No cravings, not yet.. I feel a little sick sometimes, but that's really it." Scarlett said softly. "It's a god send. Not having a single period for 9 months." She chuckled which coaxed a laugh out of Jeremy.
"Wow. I love you so much babe. I have to go though, they might be calling my plane." Jeremy said, his smile evident in his voice.
"Okay, I'll see you soon, love you." Scarlett grinned, Jeremy promising her the same words before they hung up. Letting out a soft, content sigh. Scarlett allowed herself to relax.
Meanwhile, Jeremy whizzed about, getting the room all ready.
When Jeremy heard the door handle, he hid in his spot, turning on Hold On by Michael Bublè at a low volume.
"What the fuck.." Scarlett murmured as she glanced around. Her heart leapt with fear and excitement. Cautiously stepping into the room, she let the door close behind her.
Her eyes fell on a trail of red petals, to which she did nothing else but to follow, straight to the dresser lit with heart-shaped candles in a heart formation with a red velvet box in the centre. When Scarlett noticed the song that was playing, and just what this could mean, tears sprang to her gorgeous blue eyes.
She reached with a shaking hand to the box, staring at it in disbelief before slowly opening it. To her surprise, the box contained nothing but a folded piece of paper. Taking it out, she set the box down and unfolded the note. In very neat, and unmistakably Jeremy's handwriting, was "Turn around x".
Scarlett wiped the tears from her eyes and she turned to see Jeremy, dressed in a smart suit and tie, kneeling and holding a ring which held a centre diamond, and three embedded into the ring at each side. Tears clouded his grey eyes as he watched her.
Scarlett's heart exploded with absolute love for this man, kneeling in front of her.
"Scar.." Jeremy tried to begin, but he was attacked by his own tears but he stayed strong, or at least tried to. "From the very first moment I laid eyes on you... I knew that.. You were going to be, one day, the most important thing in the world to me. Whether we were friends, or more than that.." He sniffed, watching the tears of happiness fall from her eyes. "These past ten years of knowing you, I've been falling, day by day, utterly in love with you.. I've always hoped that you knew somehow, to make it a little less hard for me to keep that secret going.. but you were worth the struggle, and the pain." He told her, not moving an inch. "And now.. You've given me everything I could ask for. Your love. Your undying attention. A family." Jeremy chocked slightly, Scarlett's hand moving subconsciously to her stomach. "Tonight, I could die a happy man if you just answered me one question." He told her, the song playing picking up slightly.
"Scarlett Johansson. Will you marry me?"
