Chapter 96

The girls all gathered in Belle and Shawn's hotel suite and got ready for their night out on the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. Chloe knew that Shawn was planning to propose to Belle that night and she wanted Belle to look gorgeous.

Belle: Why am I so nervous it feels like is our first date or something.

Mimi: Probably cause he won't give you any of the details. And you hate surprises.

Belle: I don't hate surprises I just hate waiting.

Chloe: Don't stress you will have a great time Shawn loves you and he just wants to give you the world.

Belle: You are right so how is my hair looking since you insisted that you were going to get me ready and I didn't have to lift a finger.

Mimi: Belle you look like an angel trust us.

After about an hour of getting ready the girls looked gorgeous. Belle had on a light blue short strapless dress. Her hair was pinned up in tiny ringlets all over her head with rhinestone heart clips holding it in place. Mimi had just put enough makeup on to bring out Belle's eyes and she looked gorgeous.

Jason and Mimi's Room

Jason: Are you sure you don't mind if I propose tonight too.

Shawn: As long as you keep Mimi away so she can't spoil the surprise for Belle I don't mind at all.

Brady: So what is the plan with my little sister tonight.

Shawn: I am taking her to the Paradise Lagoon restaurant for a night of dancing and then we are going to take a romantic walk on the beach and then we will have a candlelight dinner on the beach. I have it all set up and it will be beautiful.

Brady: Belle will love it Shawn but don't forget your camera Belle will be upset if she can't take pictures.

Shawn: I know I all ready thought of that.

Brady: Hey let me see the ring.

Shawn: Nope, no one sees it till it is on her beautiful finger.

Brady: Come on man let me see it.

Shawn: I said no you will see in good time if you sister makes me the happiest man alive.

Brady: All right Romeo go make my sister happy.

Shawn: That is what I live for.

Shawn walked over to the girls room and knocked on the door and handed Belle a dozen white roses.

Shawn: Belle you look gorgeous as usual.

Belle: You don't look so bad yourself.

They left and headed to the Paradise Lagoon for an evening of dancing.

Belle: Shawn it is beautiful here how did you find out about this place.

Shawn: I told the tour guide that I needed to take the love of my life to a place where we can dance and see the beautiful ocean that matches the color of your eyes.

Belle: It is perfect Shawn I love you so much.

Belle and Shawn dance for about 2 hours when Belle's stomach growls.

Shawn: Well I see someone is hungry.

Belle: Well I didn't want to eat in case we were going to eat somewhere.

Shawn: We are headed that way but first we have to blindfold you.

They get into the cab and it takes them to the beach area that Shawn had reserved. It was perfect it was set up exactly how he asked Chloe to do it. Shawn removed Belle's blindfold and immediately Belle jumped into his arms and kissed him.

Belle: Shawn it is so beautiful how did you do all this while we were dancing.

Shawn: I planned it and Chloe took care of the rest for me.

There was a red blanket laying in the sand with a picnic basket filled with salad, garlic bread, and lasagna all of Belle's favorites. There was also a very expensive bottle of wine. The blanket was covered in white, yellow, pink, and violet rose petals. They ate their delicious dinner in the moonlight listening to the sound of the waves crashing into the shore.

Belle: Shawn I have never loved you more than I do at this moment.

Shawn: I love you more each and every day.

Belle: So what are you hiding in that other picnic basket.

Shawn: Well it is desert.

Belle and Shawn sat together silently and ate their strawberry shortcake and then Shawn poured them a glass of champagne. When Belle had her head turned Shawn dropped the engagement ring into Belle's glass
