Life of a Billionaire's Wife

Chapter 16

Caroline's P.O.V.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a gorgeous dress that reached about mid thigh. It was sparkly and rose gold color. I felt like a princess in it. The dress also hugged my body in all the right ways.
My Dress:

I looked at myself once more before exiting my room. I walked through the hallways and stopped at the front entrance. Alex's back was facing me, but by the way his choosers were set and the way his feet were planted, he seemed tense.
"Alex." I said his name. He stiffened and shoved something in his pocket. Probably his phone. Alex turned around and gasped at me. His eyes grazed over my body before coming back to meet my gaze. He walked to me in three long strides and stopped right in front of me.
"You look stunning." And he captured my lips. I wrapped my hands around his neck and his hands gripped my waist and pulled me close to him. He pulled away slowly, as if he didn't want to. "You ready?"
"Of course!" I grabbed his hand and led him out of the mansion and he laughed whole heartedly as we made leur way to his car. "I'm driving." I stole his keys and got in the drivers seat.
"Fine. But on the way home I'm driving." I laughed and started the car. I drove all the way to the restaurant and when we arrived I was shocked. The restaurant was amazing. The sun was setting and there was a lake view. We were brought to our seat and I looked at view.
"It's beautiful." I said. I looked back at Alex.
"It really is." He said staring at me. I blushed.
"Thank you. For everything. The chance to help my family, the home I can stay in, the job as your PA, and this. This moment. It's amazing. Perfection." I smiled at him.
"You say thank you to me one more time... Cara I told you. Stop saying thank you. Stop saying sorry. Just enjoy it." I grabbed Alex's hand and gripped it. Just then a server came in and interrupted us. Really?!
"Hello my name is Lisa and I will be your waiter. What drink can I get you?"
"Champagne. For the both of us." Alex answered not even looking away from me.
"Alright. I'll be right back with it." She walked away and Alex seemed to relax.
"Now where were we?" Suddenly Alex leaned closer to me. I leaned in close to him and our lips connected. It was only a small peck but it was enough. The waiter brought over our drink and we ordered our food. Alex and I chatted the entire time and laughed together. It felt amazing. Being here. With him. Once we finished Alex drove us to a private building. There was an amazing view and I stood there. String lights hung above us and soft music played. Alex came up beside me and turned me to look at him.
"This is it isn't it? This is what I've craved for. Peaceful music, low lights, and the woman I want to be with forever by my side." He said. I looked at him, question in my eyes. Tears glistened in my eyes. "Cara, the past few months I've been denying myself with the feelings I felt for you. At first I ignored it. Then as they grew I kept insisting it was lust. But I was wrong. I realized that the last time I felt this way was the time my heart was broken. I realized that I loved you.
"I realized that you were the one I was waiting for. That you were the one I truly wanted. You are kind, sweet, beautiful, and put others before yourself. Yes sometimes that's a problem, but that shows that you care. I love you Caroline. And I know it's hard to believe but I do." Alex got down on one knee and took something from his pocket. I was a black velvet box. He opened it and a beautiful ring sat inside. It was very simple but it was what I loved. Something simple and not too flashy. "Cara please, please make me the happiest man on earth by marrying me. By becoming my wife, my true love, my first real love. Not like Britney, the girl I used to think I loved, but the real person I love. Please marry me." I looked at Alex in awe. Here he was, the boy I thought would never love a girl like me, asking me to marry him. "Please say something." He whispered like he was scared of rejection.
     "Get up." Alex stood up slowly, probably confused as hell. "Alex when I first met you, I was definitely not interested. I didn't want to marry you whatsoever because of your bachelor life. But I decided I would because it would help my family. I thought nothing would happen and I would leave. But I was wrong. I realized that I was falling for you. When we kissed for the second time, I realized that I fell hard. That night we had sex I pretended it was real. That we were real. But now I know I didn't have to pretend. Because you loved me. So yes. I will marry you."
   Alex brightened and lifted me in the air swinging me around. I laughed and smiled at him. He brought me back to the ground and slammed his lips on mine. It was magical. Something I thought would never, ever happen. I moved my lips with him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He brought me closer so him and kissed me harder. Suddenly I felt a wall against my back. I moaned loudly as he moved his mouth downward and sucked on my neck. I gripped his shirt afraid to moan because I didn't want to cause a scene. He looked and stood straight before leaning close to my ear and whispered something to me.
     "Cara I want you now. And I want you bad. You say the word and I won't do it." I smiled and pulled his mouth back to mine. That was all he needed. Alex pulled away and picked me up. He brought me to his car and I laughed the entire way. He brought me home and once we were inside he grabbed my hand and brought me to the room we used last night and shut the door. Once that was done, his lips were on mine.
   That night we made love over and over. It was everything I'd ever wanted. I realized Alex was everything I could ever dream of. Kind, sweet, caring, and protective but not possessive. He was anything and everything. My true love.

That's that for this chapter. Only a few more to go. See you soon!
