Chapter One: I love you.

5 years later…

"Rosemarie Hathaway, I love you. I've always loved you. Will you marry me?" I asked very unsure of what she would say or what I would do if she said no….

The Present…

It's been about 3 months since Rose came home from Russia. She promised before she left she would give me a chance if I wrote her a dating proposal, me, Adrian Ivashkov actually write a paper? That's unheard of but for Rose, I would do anything. Belikov didn't have anything on my love for Rose. That why it took me three months, 7 pages, and a hell of a lot of cigarettes to get this paper written. I promised her pretty much the world in this paper, not to mention giving up my cigarettes, and my alcohol (unless it was a special occasion!) for the hope that she would accept it and me. I folded up her proposal, put it in an envelop, sealed it with my family's wax seal, and set of to deliver it.

I was so friggin' nervous right now. Nothing had ever made me shake so much as offering my heart out to the one and only girl who had ever made me look twice at her. As I approached her door I almost, almost, chickened out, but then I heard her voice inside and my resolve strengthened. This woman HAD to be mine. I knocked on the door and waited for my Rose, my love, to answer. After a couple seconds she opened up the door.

"Yeah?" She said in her normal bitchy tone that I just loved.

"I have you proposal Rose. Sealed and Hand delivered." I replied.

She looked a little shocked at first that I even bothered to write the proposal, but she asked so I complied. Only for her would I ever do anything like this.

"Uhhh, come in." She said.

"Thanks. Would you like me to read it to you?" I asked her.

"Uhh no. I'll read it. Sit there and I'll tell you when I'm done."

"Okay Rose."

I sat there twiddling my thumbs as she read my proposal. I instantly hated myself for making it so long. As she continued to read it, I got more and more nervous. What if she didn't like it? What if she rejected me? What if it wasn't enough for her to give me a chance? I know I had a reputation as a player before but, that was really all talk. Plus, she's changed me! I only have eyes for her now, she's the air I breathe, the food I eat, I need her. She can't reject me, I'll die. I won't be able to go on any longer. Oh, God! I hope she gives me a chance, I'll do anything to make her happy. She cleared her throat, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Adrian?" She asked to make sure she had my full attention.

"Y-yeah?" I stuttered out.

"If you do everything you promised, I will give you your chance. But- you have to hand over the cigarettes now. And let me empty all the alcohol bottles." She stated.

I felt my mouth open. I stood there like an idiot with my mouth hanging open for about five minutes before what she said registered in my mind. I quickly started pulling out my packs of cigarettes and throwing them at her. She could have them! I got my girl if I gave them up. I couldn't give them up any faster. Rose started laughing at me, I have to admit. I was acting like a complete idiot.

"Are we going to empty those bottles now?" I asked her.

"Sure," she laughed. "You seem.. Anxious"

"That's all that's left between me and my girl. Let's go!" I said pulling her out of the room.

I dragged her all the way to my room, practically ripped the door off the hinges, and ran to the alcohol cabinet. I opened up the cabinet and started pulling everything down. My alcohol filled up the entire counter. Rose just laughed when she saw it all.

"Are you sure that's all of it Ivashkov?" She joked.

"I am 100% sure that is absolutely everything." I said quite seriously. "Let's get pouring already!"

We started dumping out all of my bottles of liquor, as much as it pained me to throw it all to waste my Rose was so much more important to me. This was my only chance to keep her forever, there was no way in hell I would deny her a single thing she asked of me. After about a half hour, all of the bottles were empty, and I'd handed over the rest of my cigarettes. Those seemed like a fair price for my Rose. Oh, she was so insanely beautiful. She had no clue of her effect on me.

"Adrian?" She asked.

"Yes, my lovely?"

"Thank you."

That was all she said as she walked over, kissed me so softly, so passionately, so sweetly, then walked out of my front door to her own room for the rest of the night.

Review please(:
