Chapter Twenty-One:

One Year Later:

I had permanently moved back to England, by the begging of Amber... and of course Fabian. I had bought a house not far from Fabian, and I was actually planning on moving in with him soon, but right now I was being dragged off on a trip.

"Why are we here?" I asked Fabian as we pulled up in front of the House of Anubis.

Fabian rolled his eyes, "Nina, I told you. The house is for sale. And I want to look at buying it. The agent said she would meet me here," he cut off the car, "okay?"

"And why did I have to come?" I asked, "I'm a big girl Fabian I can watch myself. And besides, it's my birthday! This is boring."

Fabian sighed, "Is it so bad for a guy to love his girlfriend? I just want you to be here. And I promise after this I'll take you out for lunch. We won't be long."

I rolled my eyes, "Fine."

"I love you Nina."

I smiled, "I love you too Fabian."

Fabian nodded, "Good," he opened the car door, "now come on."

I pushed my door open and climbed out. Fabian circled around and took my hand. His hand was sweating, what was he so nervous about. I looked at him, but he was looking ahead. I shrugged.

We walked up the drive and to the front door. Fabian stopped for a second and stared.
"Fabian?" I asked.

He blinked, "Oh, yea let's go inside." He pushed the front door open and we stepped inside. "She, said she would meet me in the living room." Fabian walked towards the door and grabbed the handle.

I rolled my eyes, "Just open it Fabian. She is an agent. Not a man eating monster."

Fabian nodded, and shoved the doors opened, I stepped in.

"SURPISE!"

I nearly jumped back into Fabian. I blinked.

"Happy birthday Nina!" Amber cried.

I blinked again.

"Here you go," Patricia said putting a party hat on my head.

I turned around and looked at Fabian, who was leaning against the door frame. "You set this up?" I asked.

"With a little help, but yes," Fabian said.

I ran to him and hugged him and kissed him, "Fabian! You are the BEST!" I turned back around to the faces of: Patricia, Eddie, Jerome, Mara, Amber, and Alfie. "Thank you guys."

Amber smiled, "You are welcome Nina," She leaned around me and looked at Fabian, "Fabian why don't you go get the cake."

I turned and looked at Fabian, "What kind of cake?"

Fabian laughed, "Chocolate and vanilla mixed." He walked past me and into the kitchen.

I smiled at my friends, "Thanks guys," I said again.

Amber hugged me, "It's not over yet, don't thank us, yet." She grabbed my shoulders and spun me around.

It took me a second to see what I was suppose to see, but then I looked down. Fabian was holding cake, in one hand. And he was on one knee. And there was a ring on top of the cake.

I started crying.

"Nina Martin?" Fabian asked, "I love you so much. And would you please, please make me the happiest man there ever was and marry me?"

I was crying so hard as Fabian handed Amber the cake and took the ring off it. "Is that a yes?" He asked.

I wiped at the tears and nodded, "Yes times a million Fabian."

Fabian smiled and took my hand and slipped the ring on. "I love you."

"I love you too," I kissed him and everyone clapped.

"Now it's cake time," Alfie said snatching the cake from Amber and went twirling into the kitchen.

I laughed, "Alfie, that's my cake!" I called.

"No it's all mine!" Alfie called back.

I shook my head, Amber sighed, "I'll go stop him!" She ran into the kitchen.

Patricia smiled at me, "Come on birthday girl, let's go get your cake."

I took Fabian's hand, "Cake?" I asked.

Fabian nodded, "Anything you want."

I smiled and together we walked in the kitchen, followed by my friends.

And as the all sang happy birthday to me, I just smiled right at Fabian. This had to be the best birthday ever.

Author's Note: Yea, Joy wasn't invited to this party. Remember Nina and her hate each other in this story. AH! I've got to write the epilogue now.
