Undeniable Attraction novel Chapter 44

It was three days to Evie's birthday which is a Saturday and Kel said he wanted to take me out to dinner, so I dropped Evie at my mom's. We've still been getting threats from Carlos about him wanting to hurt Evie. I quit my job with Kel so I could watch her properly since I couldn't trust anyone with her. We rarely went out and I was quite nervous as we were dropping her off at my mom's even though Kel has assured me that there were bodyguards around.

"She's going to be fine. I have people watching the premises, nothing would happen to them okay?" He reassured her after we dropped her. She wanted to go with us and Kel explained some things to her before she reluctantly agreed.

"Okay," I said.

Throughout the ride, he had his hands on mine as he drove. I had no idea where we were going but I was excited. He parked and we stepped down. From where we stood to the entrance of the beach house there were petals of roses. I just stood in awe. It was amazing. To the right, there were petals and candles, the table was well placed in the middle of a heart created from candles. There was a bouquet of roses in the middle, glasses, a bottle of champagne, and food. It was in the middle of the beach and we could see the starry night. The moonlight reflected on the water and everything looked lovely.

"This is so beautiful Kel." I gushed saying with a smile

"I'm glad you like it." He said with a grin.

"It looks so romantic, who'd have thought you had it in you."I teased and he chuckled.

"We both know I'm still the romantic one." It was my turn to chuckle.

"Shall we your highness?" He bowed to take my hands, kissing them.

"Oh, we shall your majesty," I said as we walked to the table.

He took out my chair for me before going to his. Once we were sat a waiter arrived out of nowhere serving us our drinks and food which we gladly ate. After we finished eating he suggested that we take a stroll which I quickly agreed to. He took my hands in his as we walked down the path. There were roses everywhere with candles and the scenery was just so lovely. I loved the fact that he took his time to prepare this. We haven't been on a date since the night in Paris. That was beautiful, but this was better.

"You never cease to amaze me. How do you even come up with all this?" I asked staring at him.

"I just think of what to do that would make you happy and leave a lasting memory." He said pulling me closer to him.

"I'm happy. It's thoughtful of you. I love you, thanks for doing this."

"You deserve to be treated like a queen, you don't have to thank me."

I hugged him resting my head on his chest. Since the day I told him I love him I just like saying it often, it makes me happy.

Ed Sheeran perfect started playing in the background. While we were still in our moment I heard the sound of fireworks. It was so beautiful and I smiled admiring it. Still beholding the beauty of the fireworks a helicopter flew ahead carrying a banner that read WILL YOU MARRY ME SHAYAN? I was beyond shocked, I felt my eyes getting misty, I had to hold back my tears to be sure I was seeing correctly.

"Kel..." I turned to look at him only to see him on one knee with an engagement ring. I couldn't describe the feeling of happiness I felt. I couldn't hold back the tears. Never in a million years did I think he'd propose.

"The look on your face right now, I've yearned to see it for a while. I love you Shayan, I've longed to be with you since the first day I met you. I'm really happy that I finally get the chance to ask you to be my woman, my wife. Our journey has been a long tough one but we're here now. The five years away from you was agonizing and now that you are here, I don't want to ever let go of you. You're so amazing Shay and I'm glad that you are the mother of my child. I look forward to spending time with you and raising our child. I'm sorry for the way I treated you in the past and promise never to treat you like that ever again. I love you Shayan Mikayla West. Would you do me the honours of being my wife, not because of any contract or because you feel obliged to but because you love me and I love you? Be my wife again Shay. So, will you marry me?"

I was too stunned to speak, the tears were flowing freely now. I can't believe he proposed. I admired that. I started nodding my head, smiling like crazy.
