Thanks for those who reviewed the last chapter!
Samantha~ Thanks!
RoscoCody~ You're too kind! But I have to be honest; I'm not a big Harry Potter fan so I guess you won't have me as your loyal fan for that story! LOL! I thought about that and I think I have an idea that is sort of like that. Oh you'll see.
Author's Note: Ok well yes only 2 reviews, but that didn't stop me from updating! Hope you guys enjoy this chapter! And I hope everyone had a blessed holiday season!

Chapter 6~ My True Love
"Sure baby, do you want something to drink?" Vince said as he closed the door.
Angela nodded as Vince headed into the kitchen area. As she sat there, she took time to catch her breath and gather her thoughts. She knew what she had to do, and it was going to be terribly hard on her, but she had to do it and that was that.
Vince came back out and sat down across from Angela as he handed her a glass of iced tea.
"Thanks," she said with a slight smile.
"So," Vince started, "what did you want to talk about?"
"Um well ok, we need to talk about us," she said as she looked down at the floor.
"Oh," Vince said as a look of concern crossed his face, "Well what about us?"
"Well, our relationship," she said as she bit her lip, "I'm not so sure about it anymore."
"Well what are you unsure of? Maybe I can help?" he said as he moved over and sat down next to her.
'Can you make this easier for me to do,' she thought to herself. "No it's not you that's causing me to be unsure. It's my heart, I'm not sure what it's telling me right now."
"What do you mean," he asked sounding confused.
"Vince, I, oh this is so hard," she said as she turned to face him and took both his hands in hers, "Ok, um I'm not so sure that I can marry you anymore."
"Why not?" he said trying not to sound upset.
"I'm just not sure I'm in love with you. And I don't want to get married feeling unsure, it wouldn't be fair to you or me," she said.
"Oh," he said quietly. What else could he say, the person he loved and thought had loved him had just broke his heart.
"I'm so sorry Vince, I never intended on hurting you. But I'm gonna go now," she said as she got up and let herself out.
As the door shut, Vince looked up and quietly whispered, "Good-bye Angela."
As Angela walked down the sidewalk of Paris, she felt like a weight had been lifted. It hurt her to watch Vince hurt but she felt it was the right choice. She knew what her heart was truly saying and she had to follow it. She kept walking as her cell phone started ringing.
"Hello?" she said.
"Hey Angela," she heard Shawn's familiar voice say.
"Hey Shawn. What's up?" she asked
"Well you said you would call and explain but I figured when you're done, you could just come over to where I'm staying. Then maybe afterwards we could go to dinner," he said.
"Oh well I'm on my way home from Vince's now," she explained.
"Vince's?" Shawn asked.
"Yea, but don't worry. I actually told him I couldn't marry him because I wasn't in love with him anymore," she further explained.
"Oh," Shawn said, "Well are you in love with someone else?" he asked hoping for a certain answer.
"Yea this guy that I dated for a few years in high school and college," she said as she smiled at all the memories her and Shawn had had.
"Ok, well why don't you still come over and then we can go out to dinner," Shawn suggested.
"Ok, where are you staying?" she asked.
"The Hotel de France, I'm in room 725," Shawn told her.
"Ok well I should be there in about 15 minutes," she paused, "I love you."
Shawn smiled. Those words were music to his ears, "I love you too. I'll see you in a little while."
When Angela arrived at his hotel room, she knocked quickly.
"It's open, come in," Angela heard Shawn say.
She slowly opened the door. As it started to open, she realized there were no lights on. 'He must be in the bathroom finishing getting ready,' she thought. When the door was completely opened, she saw candles lit everywhere. She walked in and saw Shawn sitting on the bed waiting for her.
"What's going on?" Angela asked as she headed towards the bed and sat down next to him. 'Is this what I think it is?' she asked herself as she fought back tears for fear that she might be wrong.
He took her hands and looked her in the eye. He took a deep breath and started to speak, "Angela, I love you, I have always loved you. But I was never sure if you loved me. Today on the phone, when you said you loved me, I was overcome with joy. When I came here, I had something that I had wanted to do for so long but wasn't sure if it would happen. But when you told me you loved me, I was overcome with confidence and it reassured me that this is what I want." He opened the drawer in his nightstand and pulled out a velvet box. He got off the bed and knelt down on one knee on the floor.
It was happening. Angela couldn't believe it as she could no longer hold the tears of joy in. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" she kept saying over and over because she was in a state of shock. She never would have seen this coming but she was glad it was.
Shawn looked into her tear-filled eyes as he opened the velvet box, which revealed a beautiful gold ring with a brilliant diamond on it. Angela covered her mouth with both of her hands, tears now coming a mile a minute.
"Angela Moore, I love you, I have always loved you and will always love you. Will you marry me and make me the luckiest man in the world?" Shawn said.
"Yes!" she exclaimed through all her tears as Shawn slid the ring on Angela's finger then slowly leaned up, cupped his hands on her face and passionately kissed her.
As they pulled back, Angela, who had finally stopped crying, looked into Shawn's eyes, "I love you so much."
"I love you too," Shawn said, "Now let's go out to dinner and celebrate."
Angela nodded as they both stood up and left for the restaurant to celebrate their engagement. If she had any doubts about breaking it off with Vince, they were all gone now.

Author's Note: Ok I originally wasn't planning on having Shawn propose but it just worked out so well. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm not sure how much longer the story will be. I have an idea for a twist involving Vince, sort of like what RoscoCody suggested, all though a little different. But I don't know how far I want to carry it out. Anyways, it'll go where my writing takes me. Well leave a review and lemme know what you thought!
