Here is the next chapter! Please leave a review !"Hey princess!" Derek called and I turned around.
A smile made its way on my face, though it was a nervous one.
Dereks expression changed into a worried one. "Are you okay? You seem so tensed." He raised an eyebrow and I giggle. Maybe a little bit to obviously.
Where were my compartmentalizing skills when I needed them?
"I'm good." I said and my head rested on his chest.
"Cool, 'cause I wanted to ask you something." I heard the smile in his voice and my head shot up.
"Ask me what?" I swallowed. He wouldn't ask me in the middle of the bullpen would he?
"Would you like to go to dinner today?" His hand brushed through my hair and I looked at him.
"Dinner?"
"Yep, dinner." He grinned down at me, probably asking himself if I hit my head or something due to my odd questions.
"Yeah. Dinner sounds great." I sighed in relief and I shook my head at my own stupidity.
"Fantastic. And if you want to dress up a bit you should maybe look in your closet." With a smirk he turned around and I sat back on the desk.
Then it hit me.
Didn't you take your girlfriend out for dinner before you proposed?
Maybe he would put the ring into the campaigner or in the desert…
I took a deep breath but couldn't help myself but be worried.
I walked into my apartment, well actually our apartment. Derek was spending most of his time here, had most of his things here, too.
He also brought Cloney, his dog and Sergio was everything but happy about that. I smiled at the thought of Cloney chasing Sergio through the living room but my smile fell as I walked into the bedroom and looked at the closet.
A small post-it was taped on it and I pulled it off, reading the note that was clearly written in Dereks handwriting.
Just for the record, I didn't chose it JJ and Garcia did.
I hope you like it.
Love you,
DerekIt was beautiful. He had even bought shoes that fit with the colour of the dress.
Carefully she took it out of the closet and put it on.
I turned in front the mirror and smiled. I wasn't really the type for dresses but this one was great.
I went to the bathroom and started with brushing my hair. The black locks had grown pretty much and if I'd straightened them they would surely reach 'till my waist but I liked it that way.
Also my clothes had changed drastically. The suits were stuffed somewhere in the back of her closet while fashionable clothes replaced them.
That was mostly Dereks fault. He was some kind of shopping freak. I just needed to look at something and he would buy it without a discussion.
He was so damn prefect and yet I couldn't get herself to marry him.
Why?
Because of what the others would say, a small voice in my head said and I knew it was right.
I could already feel the stares now, some jealous, others just checked me out from hem to collar like saying: This is what the woman looks like who got Derek Morgan into a serious relationship.
And I hated it.
If this glares would change into: This is the woman who is engaged with Derek Morgan and finally married to him… I took a deep breath.
Maybe they also thought he married her because he knocked her up.
Otherwise she could also just screw what the others thought but then I looked in the mirror and I knew I could never do that.
This woman in the mirror was the Emily Prentiss, that cared about what the others thought about her.
That was how my mother educated me.
Just don't make any enemies.
Even now I could hear the whispers behind my back, 'cause some of the woman really weren't happy that Derek was with someone like me.
Sighing I looked back into the mirror and then at the clock.
18:30.
I should get going.
I pushed these thoughts away and took a taxi to the restaurant Derek was taking me to.
He was already waiting in front of the restaurant and pressed a kiss to my lips and guided me inside.
It was a chic restaurant with good food and even better wine but still it was quit tense.
I couldn't help but look into the glass of campaigner every time before I took a sip or destroy the whole desert while searching for the ring.
But there was nothing.
After we finished my tension fell. No ring, no proposal.
I smiled and laughed on the whole walk I and Derek took after we finished.
We were walking through the park when Derek suddenly stopped.
"Close your eyes." He smiled expectantly and my breath hitched.
"What?"
"C'mon I won't bite you." He grinned and unwillingly I closed my eyes.
I could already see him kneeing on the ground when I opened my eyes but I felt him walked behind me.
Then something cold laid on my neck .
A necklace.
I sighed in relief and after Derek told me to I opened my eyes.
I looked at the necklace and froze.
The ring was the pendent of the necklace.
Derek wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear.
"I knew you weren't the ring-on-the-finger type so I bought you this.
Marry me, Emily."
Boom. I hope you liked that and please leave a review AND maybe you take some of your time and check out the four dresses. I couldn't decide which to take so I thought maybe you have a look at them and then review which you like best!
