SAINTS ON VACATION
CHAPTER 13
Carter's POV
Alright, this is the grand day. Why do I feel nervous? I mean it should be simple right? We go to the restaurant, order something to eat and drink, I pick a good moment, pull the small box outta my pocket… Shit what am I supposed to say? Man I need to think this one out before it's too late. Suddenly Viola nudged me with her arm. "Is something wrong?" I quickly respond. "It's nothing I just lost myself in my thoughts." "What were you thinking about?" Oh for god's sake why did she have to ask me that. "Uhh… I was thinking about…. Pierce. Yeah I was thinking about Pierce. And how he almost killed us when he was dropping me off at the penthouse last night." Whew, that was close. We finally got to the restaurant. As we were walking in, all eyes were on us. Most of the women looked at me but they quickly turned their attention to something else after they all earned a death glare from Viola. We took my favourite seat over by the window. We ordered some beef wellington and some red wine. After that we were awaiting for the dessert. I took my chance. "There is something important we should talk about." "What is it honey, is something wrong?" But as soon as I start to talk I see 5 thugs knocking the door down. The tallest one speaks. "This is a robbery! Everybody on the ground!" These fuckers are not ruining this for me. I gaze at Viola. "Get under the table." She does as she is told. These guys are all carrying double-barrel 20 gauge shotguns. 10 shots on them and 14 on me. But I can't risk the bullet ricocheting and hitting someone, especially her. I stand up and I slowly make my way to the thugs who are now putting money into the bag. They are grouped together very closely. The big guy notices me. "Get under the fucking table cocksucker if you don't want me to pump you full of shells."
He is holding that shotgun very high up. First and last mistake. I quickly put my hand under the barrel and I slam his hand with my other hand. The shotgun is in my hands. I hit 3 thugs with the stock and I shot the 2 other guys. I then run up to the manager. "Sorry for the mess." The manager who is in complete shock just quietly replies. "Thanks for saving us." I just saved 100 or more lives all by myself. I hadn't felt this powerful scince hell. I run up to Viola. "Come on let's get out of here the police will take it from here. Let's go someplace quiet." We go to the central park. The sun was already setting and we sit down on a bench. I notice that she is breathing heavily. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine. Just glad you're okay." "You worry to much. Sometimes you forget that I am or at least was an elite solider. But let's not talk about it right now. There is something way more important right now. "
Viola's POV
"And what would that be?" "Let's talk about our relationship." Why is he bringing this up right now?
Does he want to breakup? I start to breathe very heavily and my heartbeat is getting faster and faster.
I look into his eyes as he starts talking. "Viola… I came to realize that you are indeed perfect for me.
When I first met you I didn't think you were anything special. But the more I got to know you and the more we bonded I learned to appreciate you for who you are and you did the same for me. And I know we are a couple now but I…. I think I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So how about we make it official?" He kneels down and pulls out a small box with an engraved V on it. He opens the box, revealing a beautiful golden ring with diamonds. "Will you… Will you marry me?" Oh my god.
I did always have fantasies about this but I never thought that this day would actually come! I start to cry. "Oh my god YES YES YES!" He stands up, grabs me by the waist and gives me a long kiss. I can see he is crying too. He pulls me off the ground and spins me around. "I wasn't sure what you were going to say. But now I feel so happy I am going to melt! Come on I can't wait to tell the others. They are going to go crazy. Their boss is finally getting married! Let's go!"
