HEY GUYS! I DID NOT DROP OFF OF THE FACE OF THE PLANET LIKE YOU THINK I DID! My grandma passed away, and it's been really hard. In addition to that, I have SOO much homework. School's a bitch.
So, I hope you liked the last chapter, but as I am not a genius that knows every single thought that runs through you head (DARN IT!), I don't know what you thought of it. So, if you are reading this, go straight to the bottom of this page and review! I LIKE REVIEWS! AND IDEAS! THEY ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!
So, yes, here is CHAPTER 4! I know what you are thinking..."It's about TIME, yo! I've been dying here!" Yeah, yeah yeah...I know...
I also do not own anything from the Immortals Series by Alyson Noel, aka, the most AWESOME-EST AUTHOR EVER!
I stood in the living room with my fists clenched together breathing in and out trying not to flip out. His car door slammed, and my heart pounded in my chest. I pulled myself together, relaxed my fists and slowed my breathing just as he walked into the door. But as soon as he did, my breathing sped right back up. I couldn't stop staring.
He was so...delicious. I don't know any other way to say it. His smooth brown hair was slicked back a la Jack Dawson in Titanic, and his suit looked like something out of a James Bond movie. Damen's face was soft with a small smile on it, his eyes glistening like an ocean on a calm night. I could've melted right then and there. I wanted to.
"Wow, you look...I really don't, I don't know what to say, " I stuttered.
"I don't compare to you. Ever, I have never seen you like this." Damen walked over to me and put his arms around my waist. I slid my hands onto his neck and rested my head on his chest. "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen on this earth. So gorgeous."
I giggled and took my head off of his chest to look him in the eyes. He looked serious. I actually just guessed he was, because as soon as I did he kissed me. It was a tender, gentle kiss, like he was afraid I would shatter. I broke it apart, laughing. "Come on, let's go, macho man." He laughed and took my hand. We jumped into his car and he sped off.
"So, Ever, did you get all your errands finished?"
"Yeah, I got Sabine her birthday present and some candles and food for Saturday. What about you? What did you get?" I questioned slyly.
"Oh, you will find out later. Were here."
Damn, he drives fast! I looked at the building up in front of us and gasped.
"La Cafe de Elegance! I've always wanted to go here! Damen, how did you know? Oh, my gosh, this is fantastic! I'm so excited! Thank you, Damen, thank you!" I threw my arms around his neck and he curled his arms around my waist. He rocked me back and forth gently until he pulled away and said, "Okay, let's go eat."
La Cafe de Elegance is a great place a little like the Cheesecake Factory, but way more fancy and formal. The food there is to die for, not that I would eat any. I giggled and jumped up and down like a little kid in Toys 'R Us. I snatched Damen's hand and ran into the restaurant.
The atmosphere was calm and soothing. It had wood walls, like a log cabin. The chairs were little round circular ottomans with a short table in the middle. The tables were topped with small lavender candles which gave the restaurant a homey smell. It was a small restaurant, but you had to make reservations weeks before. Damen checked in and we were immediately seated in a lonely corner of the restaurant.
"Wow, I can't believe we're here! I have always wanted to come here!"
"Anything for you, Ever. Anything." Damen smiled a smile that melted my heart. I leaned in for a kiss. He met it with enthusiasm. We pulled away, laughing from giddiness.
Damen and I chatted about random things for about an hour. When the crowded restaurant started to thin, Damen took my hand.
"Ever, the reason I brought you here tonight is not entirely because of our anniversary. I wanted to tell you something."
"Okay, go ahead." He paused for a minute. "Are you okay, Damen? Is something wrong?"
"No, not at all. I just wanted to say... I love you. Ever, I would never want to be without you. When you went into the Shadowland, I was desolate. I felt alone. To be honest, I didn't know what I would do if you didn't come back. So, I guess the whole reason I brought you here was..." he got up from the table and knelt in front of me with a small box. "Ever, my sweetest darling. My love, my life...will you marry me?"
I felt my hands rush up to my face to hide my mouth, opened from shock. Tears in my eyes threatened to overflow. What was I doing? Why was I acting so silly? "Say yes, you idiot, SAY YES!" I thought.
"Damen..." I whispered. I couldn't talk, I was so surprised. "Yes, I will marry you! Yes!" I giggled. He laughed and stood up, opening the ring box. It was silver with a small diamonds on the band, leading up to a diamond the size of a bead. He placed it on my left ring finger. We both smiled at each other, while he picked me up and twirled me around. Damen and I laughed and twirled, like two idiots in love. I didn't care who saw us, I was the happiest person on Earth! I could be with Damen forever. No more people staring at us, no more Sabine worrying about us, we could be one person, one life, one love. Finally together.
