Alex grinned as stepped into the hot shower back at the hotel the next
morning. He had eventually told Milla about his attraction toward her, and
she had surprisingly returned the feelings. This all ended with a massive
make-out session in a park in Rome 'til the early hours of the morning.
Alex's eyes shot open when a banging on the door interrupted his chain of thoughts.
"Hey Alex!"
Alex put his head under the shower of water, wetting his black hair. "What?" he growled.
"What the hell have you been?" Yuri replied.
"None of your business," replied Alex running his hands through his clean hair. He flicked the water off his hair and the dried himself before stepping out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist and a towel in his hands as he finished drying his hair.
Yuri gave him a side-ways glance. "It's always my business Alex, you should know that by now," he replied.
Alex rolled his purple eyes. "If you must know I spent my night in park alone. It was on the edge of some cliff, overlooking the city," he said.
Yuri nodded. "Why did you stay there 'til like four this morning?"
"I needed time to think," Alex lied.
Yuri gave him a I-don't-believe-you look, but decided not to push his luck. "Ok."
Alex narrowed his eyes a little at his friend before walking into his room and changing into a pair of baggy jeans and baggy black jumper with black sneakers and a chain wallet to finish off.
He walked out and followed Yuri to breakfast. Today would be long day, and an especially long night. Tonight was the World Championships Closing Ceremony and celebration. This was where all the most famous Beybladers came together for a reunion type celebration. Everyone had to get all dressed up and look respectful. Today: they were going shopping for their outfits. No, not them, the girls. All they had had to do was get their suits from the year before.
Yuri grinned as he saw the bored expression come over Alex's face. "Thinking about shopping?"
Alex chuckled. "I hope they don't do as badly as they did last year," he said, remembering the fifty bags that had come back from Milla and Emma's last shopping spree in Rome.
Yuri smirked. "At least we're off the hook this year. It's Spencer's turn to take them shopping."
Spencer, who had come up behind the two coughed loudly then smirked. "Not this year my friends, Enrique is taking them shopping.
Yuri and Alex laughed and then shook their heads.
~~~~*~~~~
Kai sat down at the table in Milla's private room. The other's had finished breakfast, but Milla hadn't showed up at all.
They had been lucky enough to each receive their own hotel room, only Alex and Yuri had been the two that shared a presidential suite. It had luckily had two rooms, each with a double bed.
Milla finished showering and dried herself off before stepping into a new change of clothes. She had something different on, a pair of jeans and a black spaghetti strapped top. She stepped out of her room and walked into small lounge area where she noticed Kai sitting.
"Morning," she smiled. "What brings you here Captain?"
Kai immediately noticed the change in his teammate. Her eyes were sparkling and her facial expression didn't carry a dark shadow. She looked refreshed, as if nothing had happened over the last four years.
Kai let a very small smile grace his lips. "You seem better than you did yesterday."
"Got a little more sleep than usual," Milla lied, grinning in her reply.
Kai smirked. "If you say so."
"So why are you here?" asked Milla, pulling out a carton of milk from the fridge and pouring herself a glass before putting it in the microwave for a few minutes to make it nice and warm. She glanced at Kai motioning with her hand at the glass to see if he wanted some.
He shook his head. "Emma thinks you're sick today. And so does the rest of the group, I'll be taking you shopping today."
"May I ask why?"
"I need your help with something," said Kai, his cheeks burning only a little.
"May I ask with what?" asked Milla, taking a drink from her glass.
"I need you to help me choose a ring."
"A ring?" Milla asked.
Kai sighed, she could be so bloody dense sometimes. "I'm proposing to Emma... tonight."
Milla grinned as she looked at Kai who was blushing very hard. "Why didn't you just say so before? Of course I'll help you!" she squealed with delight.
Kai sighed; today was going to be very long.
~~~~*~~~~
Milla pulled Kai into an expensive looking jewelry store. This place was Emma's favourite jewelry store, a little expensive, but cheap compared to what some places sold for. It was actually the office of a diamond mine from Australia, but she didn't really pay attention to the name.
"This is the place where you'll find your perfect ring," Milla instructed as they sat in the waiting room.
A lady called to them, pointing in the direction of the fourth door. "Kyle is ready for you."
Milla nodded and got up leading Kai into the small room where boxes of rings and diamonds were stacked.
Kyle smiled warmly. "What are we looking for today?"
"Nice to see you again Kyle," Milla grinned. "Kai here wants to buy an engagement ring for Emma."
Kyle grinned and nodded. "How much are you willing to pay Mr. Hiwatari?"
Kai shrugged. "As long as it's not overly expensive."
Kyle nodded and pulled out two boxes with the ring size written neatly on top. He began showing Kai all of the ones that Emma had pointed out the year before. He grinned secretly as he pulled out a gold ring with a single perfect large red diamond.
Milla grinned. "This is her favourite ring," she said as she showed it to Kai.
Kai nodded. He immediately like it. It was so Emma, it was something she would never take off. It was perfect.
"I'll take it," he said.
Milla grinned and squeezed her hands together as she squealed with delight.
~~~~*~~~~
"Will you shut up already!" growled Milla. "You're the one who volunteered to take me shopping!"
Kai sighed. They were shopping, and Milla was trying to find the perfect dress.
Milla suddenly stopped. Kai looked up at her and then looked at the object she was looking at. A dress, a very nice one at that.
"It's perfect," she whispered, walking into the shop.
She grinned as she came out with two bags, one that had her dress and shoes, the other had her jewelry.
"Right, we're done," she exclaimed.
Kai sighed with relief. Thank God it was over.
~~~~*~~~~
Milla grinned as she fixed Kai's bow. "You are going to be so perfect together," she said.
Kai actually smiled. "Thanks. To tell you the truth I am so nervous."
"I'll keep the others busy while you ask her," said Milla.
Kai nodded in thanks.
Milla grinned as she brushed a fluff off his shoulder. She smiled and then hugged him. Kai froze at first, but patted her on the back. "Good luck, I hope it works out for you. I'll see you after she's said yes."
Kai nodded in thanks as Milla left his room.
~~~~*~~~~
Milla quickly pulled her dress on after she attended to Kai. Her hair was done up in a bun with clips that had crystal on them holding her hair in place. Around her neck she had a silver choker with a clump of white diamonds weaved into an intricate pattern.
She smiled as she slipped on her black heels. Tonight was going to be wonderful, she just knew it!
~~~~*~~~~
Alex, Yuri, Spencer, Ian, and Kai stood waiting in the lobby for the two girls to come. They were a few minutes early, but the girls would probably be late.
"What do you reckon Milla looks like?" asked Yuri, nudging Alex in the ribs.
"You'll see soon enough," said Kai as he watched her come down the stairs next to Emma.
Emma looked stunning. She had a red dress on that hugged her figure and then flowed down loosely around her legs, it brushed the ground as she walked. Around her neck was a gold necklace with a small red phoenix; something Kai had given her for last years victory. Her hair was pulled up into a complicated style, but it suited her well.
Milla on the other hand had a black satin dress on. It hugged her small figure, but went loose and poofy when it reached her waist and it was a strapless.
Alex almost melted as she blushed and looked at him in his black tuxedo.
Kai took Emma's hand and guided her to the limousine that would take them to their destination for the evening.
~~~~*~~~~
"Come on, leave them alone Ian. Go find your girlfriend and keep her company," Milla growled.
Ian wanted to go and mess up everything because he was just like that, but Spencer and Yuri had gone socializing, leaving Alex.
Ian sighed and went to go and find his girlfriend who was sitting by a table waiting for him patiently.
Alex smirked. "Something going on that I should know about," he said while sliding his arm around her waist and pulling her closer.
Milla grinned and kissed Alex softly on the lips. "Come on, let's go dance."
~~~~*~~~~
Kai led Emma away from the group as soon as they arrived, and they were now sitting by themselves outside on the balcony overlooking some of the city. He turned to look at Emma who was curled up in his lap, her head resting on his shoulder.
He quickly sent a silent prayer to Milla (odd but hey, she did help the guy) and placed Emma on the bench before getting up and turning to face her.
Emma looked at Kai as he stood in front of her, staring in deep thought. He then suddenly got down on one knee, and pulled out a red velvet box.
"Emma Valkov," he started. "Will you do me the honour of..."
Emma squealed with delight and knelt on the ground looking deeply into his eyes. "You don't even have to ask! Of course I'll marry you," she smiled, tracing his jaw line with her finger.
Kai smiled, his eyes filling with love and relief as he slipped the ring onto her finger.
He stood up and pulled Emma to her feet, pulling her into a deep and passionate kiss.
~~~~*~~~~
"Milla Kuznetsov, I give you this ring so that all those jealous guys out there know you're taken," Alex smiled as he slipped a plain silver ring onto Milla's finger.
Milla hugged him as he slipped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. He leant down and caught her lips in a passionate kiss.
