Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of the TV show Revenge. (Sadly I do not own Aiden.)
And I also do not own the scene. I just want to write the scene down in my way.
Note: This one anonymous asked for a short story about the sneak peek and because I was quite obsessed with this short video I thought... Yeah, why not.
So here we go. English is not my first language so sorry if there are too many mistakes aaand also sorry for the many switches in the POVs but I kinda liked the idea of jumping from one head to another hahaha
So enjoy my first real story on !
Cursive is the talk I took out of the video.
Aiden's POV:
My eyes laid on her calm, concentrated face and again all I could feel is affection for this stunning woman. As I commanded she closed her eyes.
We met a long time ago, but for me it felt like I knew her forever. I trusted her with my life. She was my life.
"By the end of your journey it is important to reflect on the start. How you've changed, what you've lost and what you've gained."
I watched her carefully and said every word with tenderness and as I stopped, she opened her eyes.
Emily's POV:
His words sank deep within me.
Tomorrow would be the height of this journey. Tomorrow the people who snatched everything away from me would finally pay.
Although I concentrated on my breathing, I noticed he had stopped speaking and as I opened my eyes, they wandered few seconds in the room until I saw him standing in his glorious beauty in front of me looking down at me without any arrogance. No, his eyes were full of love and tender. His trousers hang loosely on his hips and his white shirt gave a glimpse on his perfectly shaped chest.
As my eyes finally found his, his perfect lips curled to the beloved smirk.
Aiden's POV:
I could see little confusion in her eyes, as she slightly shook her head and stood up. Slowly I turned my face to the ground and looked up to her through my eyelashes because I knew that this was her weak spot.
Expectant she raised her eyebrows and once again I fell in love with her.
"When you and I first met..."
I formed these words in my head over and over again before, but in this second it was just so easy to tell her what was on my mind all the time.
"...we both lost so much and faced immense pain. But out of that pain came something beautiful."
Step for step I came closer to her, but never took my eyes of hers.
"Love."
I never was a man of many words but in this very moment everything came naturally.
"Love that will always triumph over the darkness and love that I would lay down my life for."
Emily's POV:
As I stood in front of him, I was not able to think about anything else than his words. His deep voice enchanted me and I was not able to think about anything else. His honesty was breathtaking and as our eyes were intertwined I could look through his to the bottom of his soul.
While he slowly went down on his knee my heart skipped faster and faster. Although I would have never expected it, it felt just perfectly right.
"Amanda Clarke..."
The way he said my name, made me smile.
"...will you marry me?"
In this second I was finally sure. This man in front of me was the only one I wanted to spend my life with. I felt the tears in my eyes but in the moment I was sure of my answer they were gone.
"Yes."
Aiden's POV:
When this short word left her wonderful lips, I became the luckiest man on earth. With a big smile I looked away because of all the feelings that overcame me. I heard her beautiful laugh and couldn't yet believe it, that she would be mine.
Gently I took her delicate hand in mine and put the ring on her finger carefully.
Emily's POV:
I watched his moves overjoyed. It was unbelievable that this man loved me that much. After all we have been through and after all he knew about me he still was this madly in love with me and I would lie if I said that I do not love him as much as well. He was the first and only man I have ever shared such amazing feelings with.
As he stood up, he slowly dragged me to him. My fingers found their way to his soft skin and moved slowly to his hair where they caressed him, while his hands held me tight.
And we kissed like we never kissed before.
