A/N: I only own the OC.
Thank you for the reviews!
I looked back at Finn and he looked hopeful as he waited for my answer.
"Yes." I whispered and he smiled at me.
"Thank you." he said as he slipped the ring on my finger and kissed me.
"I love you so much, Iris. I wanted to kill him when he hurt you today." he whispered and I kissed him again.
"I love you too, Fergal." I said and he smiled at me.
"I want us to go somewhere to celebrate our engagement after the gala on Saturday." he said and I shook my head.
"I can't just leave." I said and he chuckled.
"You are about to be a princess... you can do whatever you want." he said and I smirked.
"Ok, if I were to agree... where would we go?" I asked him as he stood up and pulled me off the floor with him.
"I would like to take you to my favorite place." he said and I chuckled because he never actually told me where he was going.
"And that would be?" I asked him and he smirked.
"Agree and just let me show you. I know you have a passport." he said and I smirked.
"Fine, but now how does all this work?" I asked him and he sighed.
"Well, you get to be popular." he said and I smirked as he pulled me to the sofa.
"Yay, just what I never wanted." I said full of sarcasm and he chuckled. He kissed me again and took my hand.
"I hope you like the ring." he said and I nodded as I finally looked at it. I was surprised by the size of it. He had given me a cushion cut pink sapphire ring set in a halo of diamonds on white gold band.
"It's beautiful." I said and he kissed my cheek.
"It was my mother's. Karl and I each picked out her rings from the gem vault a long time ago before Father could give them to our step mother. We were saving them for our future wives." he said and I now felt the need to give it back because I didn't want to lose it.
"It's too much." I said and he chuckled.
"It's probably not enough with what my family has already put your through." he said and I smirked as he flipped on the telly. I chuckled and shook my head.
"We need to go back to the states soon... for my family." I said and he looked at me.
"Whenever you want to, love." he said and I smiled at him. He kissed my temple when it hit me that everything was about to be vastly different.
"Life is about to change." I said and he smirked as he nodded.
"You have no idea, but I will be there with you ever step of the way." he promised as we snuggled up on the sofa, and I had a feeling that this would be the last time we would have this much privacy. We talked and he gave me a better idea of what was about to happen when someone knocked on the front door. He got up to answer it and I went into the kitchen to check on the roast.
"Iris." he said and I walked into the foyer to see Luke standing there.
"I'm sorry, Iris, but you have a body guard now... you need to stay near him. Also, turn on the news once you go back in there." he said and I looked at Fergal strange.
"They know you are his girlfriend." he said and I nodded.
"Fiance." Fergal corrected and Luke hugged me as I laughed at his reaction.
"When are you telling the Queen and King?" he asked us and I looked at Fergal.
"After the gala." he said and I nodded as her slipped his arm around me.
"Right, well, congrats, but this is your bodyguard... Neville." he said and a man my height walked up to us.
"Neville, this is Iris." Luke said and Neville shook my hand.
"Nice to meet you." I said and he gave a short smile.
"I will be with Luke." he said and I nodded as he and Luke went back to their place outside. We walked in and put the news on... no surprise that Finn's outburst was on the top news. They were speculating even more about the mystery woman... they hadn't said my name or that it was me, but it was now obvious that I work at the museum. I was glad that no one had told who it was, but I had a feeling that the curator had something to do with that.
"Don't worry about it. The world will know soon enough." he said as he kissed me. He pulled me into the kitchen and checked the roast. He took it out and then sipped on some more wine.
"I just realized that I can finally do this without worrying about anything." he said and I wasn't sure what he was doing when he pulled me to him by my waist and cupped my cheek as he kissed me. I moaned as he deepened the kiss until he hit the bruises and I jumped away from him.
"Shit, I am so sorry. I got carried away." he said and I shook my head.
"I liked it." I admitted and he smiled at me.
We sat down to a normal dinner and talked about different things. I kept asking him different things about what was going to happen, and then apologizing for asking too many question. He kept laughing at me, but letting me ask whatever. I finally left his place around midnight and went to my flat. We got there and I was surprised to see people milling around. I looked over at Neville and he opened my door. He quickly got me into my flat with not many people noticing.
"Where will you stay?" I asked him and he chuckled.
"I have a place right around the corner... there was an opening in the building for me and my wife." he said and I smiled at him.
"I will see you tomorrow then." he said and I waved good night as I locked the door behind me. I finally checked my phone... I had so many missed messages. I answered Paige's that I would be at the museum tomorrow for a few hours, silenced it, and laid in bed. Sleep didn't come easily, because I kept thinking of all the new things I was going to be doing.
