Chapter One: Should I?
As his wife Irina got dressed for the Agency Ball, Jack Bristow thought about the ring resting heavily in the breast pocket of his jacket. He had been weighing the pros and cons for weeks. On one hand he would be marrying the woman of his dreams even though technically they were married anyway. On the other hand he would be opening himself up to a woman that had betrayed him so much it was routine. At least that was the case until recently. Over the past year and a half he had had spent more time with Irina and saw that she was the same woman he had married all those years ago. He had bought the 14 karat gold ring last week, it had a 4 karat diamond in the middle surrounded by 7 other 2 karat diamonds. Marshall was with him when he bought it and nearly had a heart attack at its cost.
"Mr. Bristow why are you proposing again." Marshall asked.
"Because we are married as Jack and Laura not Jack and Irina." he had answered eyeing the ring he now held in his hand.
"Oh, but Mr. Bristow sir, are you sure you want that one. That's an awful lot for a ring." Marshall stammered.
"Yeah Marshall I'm sure. She's worth it." he had said in reply.
"Hope I was right." Jack thought to himself.
"Jack. I'm ready now." Irina called from the top of the staircase.
He stood and looked up and froze. She was stunning. The royal blue Vera Wang gown she had bought fit her perfectly. It was strapless and had a split up the left side showing off her leg. Jack stared tantalizingly. Her straight hair spilled over her shoulders still bearing blond highlights from a mission earlier that week. She was wearing the teardrop diamond necklace he had bought her for her birthday. It was at that moment he knew he was going to do it. He was going to propose to her tonight. In front of everybody that had ever doubted their love, everyone that had called him an idiot, everyone that hated her. He was going to propose to this woman his better half, his Irina.
"You look amazing." he said helping her down the steps.
She smiled taking in his appearance. He had on an all black suit, a white shirt and black Gators. His tie matched the color of her dress. He had smoothed his hair back allowing the black and gray to mix. He looked incredible. The things he did to suits should be illegal. He had an odd twinkle in his eye that she couldn't figure out.
"You look very handsome yourself." she said smiling.
He pulled her to him and kissed her gently.
"Jack is everything ok."
"Everything's perfect." he said kissing her once more then picking up her shawl from where it was draped over the sofa. He escorted her out the door to the Mazarati. As he pulled out of their driveway he looked once more at her. She looked back and smiled kissing him on the cheek.
"I love you." she said smiling.
He smiled back.
"I love you too."
