The proposal

Chapter:14

Lacey's P.O.V

Primping ,teasing and spraying I was finally ready. The door rang my mom came in the room moments later "these are for you". She set dawn a vase containing twelve lavender roses encased in baby breath.

"Someone got flowers I wounded who from" her eyes twinkled. "You know you dad got a spring bouquet from a certain young man".

I opened the envelope it had a small pink card the words written stole my breath from my lungs.

Flower
I'm sorry please forgive me . I'm a dork !

Your Alex

Unshed tears tickled my eyes. Victoria picked up the card that had fell from my fingers.she smiled " how does he know your favorite flowers?

"Mom! "We said in unison

"Yes dear" she said sheepishly"I told him pior to this I'm surprised he remembered".

"You know a lot about a man who remembers the important things . There keepers the ones who forget aren't" mom smiles

Anyway I gotta go check on my billy it's time for his medication.

James texted : what's you favorite lower ?
Victoria : daisy
James ;)

That was random she remarked. All this talk of flowers James just asked me my favorite ones.

Tadeo showed up at the door the same time as James. I was so happy to see them not fighting. "You look beautiful flower" tadeo remarked. U look handsome your self tadeo.

James pulled out a bouquet of Daisy's for . "Um.. I hope you like them. "
"Your an adorable dork James "she said playfully" I love them .ready to go?"

Tadeo walked me to his Jeep . I loved his Jeep cherry red with snorkel. Can I drive ? He laughed "sure"

I drove to the banquet I had to hop down in heels . All the other ladies snickered and the men looked appalled. This is me .. Lacey miller I thought.

The grand ball room was widely spaced there were tables to the far end and tables with various dishes cluttered the front . The ladies wore gowns in various colors and men in tuxedos.

I scanned the room for Alex . He took my breath away . he looked handsome in a suit or casual clothes . But in a tuxedo he looked like he was born for it. This was his world all the glitter and glam.

Our eyes met a heart stopping smile spread across his face. He passsed by the waiter fetching another glass of Champagne.

"Your breath taking in sapphire"as he handed me the fluke of champagne. I wish I could stop this night and the way you look tonight and this moment forever."

Ohh my gosh you didn't I stuttered did you just recite your own version of the "knight tale". When heath ledger' s character tell joselyn. That she's beautiful.

"I guess" he said sheepishly" I have a things for movies".

I love movies all different styles .I wanted to be an actress when I was little .I'm a tomboy by nature and don't like to get dressed up.  I smiled at him feeling butterflies as he took my hand.

We  started to dance even though no one else was. as he took me in his arms I felt  like a princess finally meeting her prince. this is the most magical night I have ever encountered.

Alex slowly twirling me around the dance floor the soft intrumental melody soften the mood of the night .  soft melody slowly subsided he gazed down at me and he leaned in . Just mere inches away his warm breath upon my lips. My lips Yearning for his kiss.

The doors slammed open as a swarm off bees everyone swarmed to the entrance to see what or who had arrived.

Chantel strode in absorbing everyone attain and admiration. She stole over to us and pulled Alex away.

She was the perfection of super model . Her hair shiny blonde diva curls. Chantel has Stunning figure,flawless skin, and endless legs . She wore scandalously low cut silver dress that had a slit up to almost her lady bits.

Lacey wishes she had the guts to wear something that bold. Her shoulders wouldn't allow that kind of dress . They were small but muscular for a gown that showcase the femine curves.

"Miss me love ?" Her stunning face contorted to a smirk  " I will take it from here ,Ditch rat.
Alexander how you have fallen. slumming  it in this hick island  tisk ..tisk. I will take u back but after you get your rabies shots . You don't know where's she's been!"

Rabies !I'll show you a rabid person skinny b&$@. I hated her more as the seconds past she was toxic just as Paul had been. My fists clutch I have never wanted to hit someone so badly in my life. I stepped back about to walk out . Before I do something i will regret.

I am not that person any more I told myself. My temper and sarcastic tongue always got me into trouble .  Breath deep breaths .

We haven't been introduced I'm lacey and you are?

Chantel Du Bois, the only supermodel that matters. "She boasted ..Alex's jaw cliched "and  Alexander true love"he stood there silent not saying a word as Chantel spout out blasphemy.

See she wiggled the a Half carat pink  princess cut engagement ring "it's his grandmothers ring . he gave it to me when he proposed last week .I couldn't stay away from my alex." And then kissed him and he didn't even try to push her away.

Finally he did he pushed Chantel out of  the way to grab hold of my arms. Chantel pink lip stick still still stained his  lips . He kissed my with all the passion I felt myself slightly weakening under his talented lips. I swung back and hit him on th right side of his face . He stumbled ..a shock registered upon his face. He backed away rubbing his face I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand spitting upon the floor.

It was a stab to the heart as she seen them kiss.Lacey seen  red for a moment; this whole thing was a joke at her expense. Alex had played her for a fool and he just stood there as she spout all those venomous words. I thought James was my friend he's the one who orchestrated this whole sham .hope y'all happiness together y'all deserve each other.

"Flower let me explain . It's not what it seems" alex pleaded forgetting about the red mark upon his face

To tell me what that you played me for a fool

Alexander John gage! I yelled you are a worthless no good want to be playboy snake . I never want to see your handsome face ever again.

I walked out the room with my head held high.i will not give them the satisfaction of seeing me break down. it was suppose to my night . I fell hook line and sinker for all his lies . I'm not that person anymore.

I'm not the weak love struck push over I once was. I'm my fathers daughter .

Wow drama on the dancefloor?

Think that Alex can make up for this? Does he deserve another chance?
And no Chantel has more up her sleeves
