Chapter One: My Proposal

Izark

I going to propose to her. My dear Noriko. The love of my life.

I'm going now. I knock on her door and open it carefully. I stepped inside and see her writing in her book. She stopped writing and look at me. I smiled and asked her "Do you have a minute?"

She smiled at me. "Always for you." I then walked over to the bed and sat down next to her. She asked me "Do you want something?" she asked carefully, trying to read the emotions that where swimming in in my eyes. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing come out. I took a deep breath and tried again.

"It's just that…um…I..I wanted to ask you something." I stuttered.

"Ask me what?" She asked me as she moved closer and carefully laid her hands on my cheeks, forcing me to look at her. "It's okay Izark, you know you can tell me anything right." She said. I looked at her and carefully than let out a long sigh. I stood up and walked to the door. She followed Me. "Izark?" I turned around to face her.

"Wait outside for me, in front of the gate." I said

She looked at me questionably. "Where are we going?" I gave her a smile, and bent forward to place a soft kiss on her delicious lips. Her face turned beet red.

"You'll see when we get there." I whispered.

I feel her presence even before I saw her. "Sorry I'm late Izark" I walked quickly to her side and I take a deep breath knelt down in front her and took her hand. She looked at my his face. "Izark?"

"Noriko. I love you, I've loved you since the first time I met you. I feel completed when I'm with you. I want you to always be by my side always. You are the first person that I wanted to see when I wake up every morning. You're the only person who has ever made me feel this way and you are the only person I have been truly happy with. Would make me the luckiest man of these lands if you could do me the honor of becoming my wife. Noriko will you marry me?" I said. My heart is beating so hard and I feel nervousness as I looked in her beautiful eyes.

Her eyes filled with tears as she jumped at me, hugging me. She then whisper in my ear and said " Yes, I've been waiting for you to propose to me. I love you too. I laughed heatedly as I wrapped my arms tight around her and buried my face in her hair. I felt her soft lips pressed against mine in a strong and powerful kiss. She responded immediately as our lips moved against each other gently, moaning softly I pulled her closer to me and deepened the kiss. We pulled apart, as we both tried to catch our breath.

I pulled out a small square shaped box and sat down in front of her again and opened the box. She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands as she looked at the ring I got for her. The ring has a golden band with blue and red diamonds on it. Next to the ring there is one earring with blue and red diamond on it as well. "Oh Izark, these are beautiful." She said. I took the ring gently out of the box and put it on her finger.

" It is tradition here that when a man asks for a omen's hand he gives her a ring and he must wear one earring while his fiance wears the ring. Because it represents that they are each a part of a whole. That they complete each other." I said never moving my eyes from her.

She gently took the earring and placed it in my left ear. "Noriko, Tomorrow I will announced that we are engaged" I said. "Um, I don't really know. I don't want them to make a big scene out of it" she said.

I laughed. " It's okay, it won't make a big scene."

" Sounds fair enough." I looked up at the sky. " We should be getting back soon before anybody starts wondering were we went of to this late at night." I stood up carrying her.

We reached the door to her room and I left her there. She looked up as she about to open her mouth, I kissed her softly on the lips but pulled away a second later, leaving her lips.

"Good night my beautiful queen." I whispered. "Good night my handsome knight." She whispered back with a slight blush covering her cheeks.
