Hi guys! I am so sorry for not posting for so long but I had a very busy month. It was the end of my school year and I was extremely exhausted. Anyways – I finished my school year and I am very happy with my grades. I am sorry for leaving you with a cliffhanger. I have to say that there isn't much going on in this chapter but I promise I'll do my best the next one to be better. As always thank you for the reviews and favs. I do not own Vampire Academy/Bloodlines or the characters, Richelle Mead does.

Then I looked at Adrian who also started taking off his shirt and I noticed something on his back- a tattoo and I was surprised to see the words on his back.

Chapter 14

"What…"-that's all I was able to say before he picked me up and pushed us both into the water. He had the biggest smile on his face. "I think I am having a déjà vu. Would you let me see your back again?"-I asked of him still a little confused.

"I think you saw what was written."

"I'm not really sure. I am actually pretty sure that I didn't see the right words."

"Sydney , the last time I asked you this question the moment wasn't exactly perfect so I think you deserve to be asked again."-I felt a tear drop streaming down my face. We were away from the others all though they probably knew about all of this because they were watching and letting us have our privacy. Next thing I know – Adrian was taking something out of his pocket which was under the water."So, Sydney Sage I am asking you for the second and last time- would you marry me?"-he showed me what was in his hand and it was a box. He opened the box and inside was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. This type of jewelry had to be in museums, not on my hand.

"Yes, of course!"-I said and wrapped my arms around his neck and started kissing him. After a few kisses he pulled away, took my hand and put the ring on my finger. It fitted perfectly. I gave him a few more soft kisses and then pulled away myself and looked him in the eyes. "Please tell me that's not a real tattoo."

"It kind of is. Your name is a real tattoo but the rest of the words aren't."-he turned his back and now I was able to see. The whole tattoo said: Would you marry me Sydney? My name was in the middle and it was bigger than the rest of the words. It was golden – just like my tattoo. A tear streamed down my face and I kissed him again.

"Thank you…"-I mumbled between the kisses.

"Hey get a room."-it was Rose who was already running in the water towards us as the rest of our friends were doing.

"We will."-Adrian answered proudly.

They all greeted us and when we finally got out of the water I was freezing. Thankfully Jill had managed to take some towels and a few sweaters.

"So, that's what Christian had to do- take the ring?"-Rose asked a little disappointed.

"Yup."

"And why was I the only one that didn't know?"

"Because you're Rose. We wanted to make you suffer a little bit. It was fun. You were trying so hard to find out what was going on and nobody would tell you."

"I have to say I felt a little bad for you."- Lissa smiled at Rose.

After our little swim we all got back in the apartment to change. I was able to get a few minutes alone with Adrian but it wasn't too long before Jill came in the room and kicked him out so she could show me some of her wedding ideas.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to go out tonight."-she said with pleading eyes.

"Sure, you know I'm all for going out."

"What if it's a bachelor/bachelorette party? We can all be together."

"Wow you're fast but isn't it supposed to be right before the wedding?"

"I am not taking chances on losing one of you the day before your wedding. "

"Did you ask Adrian?"

"I'm asking you. I don't care what Adrian has to say."-we both laughed.

"Well let's go."-I said but I wasn't very happy with the thought of some striper sitting in Adrian's lap.

The moment I agreed I received a crown, a t-shirt and a badge with the words "One last fling before the ring" on them. When we got out of my room I noticed Adrian had the same once but in blue.

"So, one last fling before the ring?"-I asked a little provocatively.

"The only fling I'll have tonight will be with you babe."-he smiled and winked.

"So where will we be going Jill?"

"I have a place in mind."

When we got outside there was a huge limo waiting for us. The inside of it was very fancy. There were 4 TV's, a mini bar and lots of champagne. We opened a bottle and all took glasses.

Jill was happy to say a few words for a toast:"To Sydney and Adrian- I hope you have the most beautiful wedding and even more beautiful marriage…

"And babies."-Eddie added.

"We'll work on that."-Adrian laughed but I noticed he didn't mean it as a joke exactly.

I drank the glass on ex and took another one in my hand. I showed my head from the roof and felt the wind blow through my hair. The feeling was amazing. I felt so alive. I can't believe how much I had missed in my life. Before I met Adrian I had never felt this way. My whole life so far was so boring and unexciting. And if we forget about the cancer, my life now is perfect. I felt a hand on my waist. It was Adrian.

"Hey, beautiful."-he smiled and gave me a small kiss.

"Hello."-I turned facing him and gave him a much more passionate kiss. "Don't forget this tonight because there'll be a lot more of it waiting for you back home."

"Are you jealous Sage?"-he asked amused.

"No, I'm just saying that I can't wait another night to have you and since tomorrow we have some not so pleasant plans also known as chemo after which I won't be feeling very well I think I deserve a wild night."He didn't say anything. He just rested his head on mine and didn't let me go for the rest of the ride. When we arrived I was happy to see that we were going to a bar and not a striptease bar. The moment we got in I immediately felt old even though the people in the bar were one year younger or the same age as us they seemed much more immature than us.

We danced all night and drank lots and lots of shots. I was very drunk but it was a nice drunk, not as it was the last time. Adrian and I stayed very close to each other and he was able to show me how much of a good dancer he actually was. In return I kept giving him small kisses. For the first time in weeks I forgot about all our problems. I couldn't even remember where I had to go tomorrow and believe me this wasn't easy to forget.

All of the sudden I felt someone pulling me and helping me sit on a chair. I realized they had done the same to Adrian. I didn't like where this was going. Two people dressed as a police officer and a nurse showed up out of nowhere and started dancing around us. Before I knew it our stripers were missing their shirts. All of the sudden I felt how I got up and walked towards Adrian. I tapped the female striper's shoulder and said with a smile:"I think I've got it from here honey."She moved but she didn't look offended from my interruption. Adrian had an amused look on his face and he started getting up but I pushed him down on his chair and continued where his last dancer had left off. I felt a little stupid dancing around him but it was fun. When I was done with my dance I sat in his lap, whispered in his ear:"The rest is for tonight." and kissed him in the most passionate way.

Next thing I know- I open my eyes and it's already morning. I am in my room, in my bed with Adrian next to me with our clothes on. I guess nothing happened yesterday. I look at the clock and it is 7 am. We still have an hour before we have to get up. When I turn back I see Adrian's beautiful eyes and most importantly his smile.

"Sorry, did I wake you up."

"No, don't worry."-he smiles even wider and puts his arm around my waist pushing me closer to him.

"What happened last night?"-I asked confused.

"We both got really drunk."-he laughed.

"I didn't feel so drunk."

"Babe, after your little dance you could barely stand on your feet. In the end you fell asleep in my hands. At one point you even told me not to touch you because you were engaged."-we both laughed even harder.

"Well, I am engaged."

"Yes , you are."-I moved on top of him and started kissing him. I quickly removed his shirt while he was trying to do the same with mine. Next thing I know all I had on was my lingerie. Adrian was very gentle and kept kissing me in all places possible. In a few seconds even his boxers were gone and our naked skin was touching everywhere. I hadn't had so much pleasure since… never.

This time it was more different than the others. Our previous times were about having sex and this time - it was about having each other.
