Chapter Seven – A proposal

Alex Rider's point of view:

After the run in with my classmates we took place in the air plane and in silence we began flying towards the coast. When looking over at Sabrina I can see she is trying to hold her question back and not ruin the surprise. I give her a smile that didn't show all the butterflies that is currently flying around in my stomach

An hour later

When I landed the plane near the coast I could see a man in black waiting for us so I turned the motor off before opening the door to go outside when I discovered that Sabina also was preparing to go outside

"Please wait here and I will soon be back" I said and after receiving a nod, stepping outside.

When I walked up to the man he gave me a deep bow. I handed over my keys to him after signaling for us to move out of hearing range of the airplane

"Contact the pilot, I will need someone to fly us back to the base tonight" I say after making the decision to have a drink tonight. I think I will be need it if I'm going to muster enough courage to asker her. It is a pity that a superspy like my can have problems with a so simple thing but life isn't suppose to be easy

"Yes, your highness"

"Have you everything ready?" I asked still nervous that something would go wrong tonight

"Yes, Sir" he said while giving me a small smile, probably knowing what I'm going through right now

"Ready the boat, we are leaving as soon as possible" I said and after getting a Yes, Sir

I walked back towards the plane and Sabrina. I open the door for her and gently helped her down before slowly leading her toward the docks. When she could see the boat for the first time she was shocked. I know that she don't know the full extent of my wealth or position, I had told her I was a part of the royal family but I don't think she thought I would have this kind of wealth. Helping a still shocked Sabrina onto the boat and to the deck that had a table for two and a low romantic music in the background

Sabrina's Point of view

After we meet Alex's classmates, Alex dragged me to the airplane and before I know it we was in the air flying out into the unknown, or at least the unknown for me. Alex had been surprisingly tight lipped on our final destination so I tried to hold my questions back but I know that Alex knows how much it pains me to be in the unknown. So he sends me a confident smile before returning to fly the plane

One hour later

When Alex landed the plane softly on the ground I could see that we were close to the coast and that a man in black suit was awaiting our arrival. Alex turned the motor off and open the door to the plane when he looked at me

"Please wait and I will soon be back" He said and didn't step outside before receiving a nod from me.

When Alex walked up to the man he got a bow before Alex signaled for them to walk out of my hearing range. They had a conversion that looked it was quit one way before he walked back to the plane and gently help me down. When my feet was on solid ground he lead me towards the ocean and when we walked around a swing I got my first look at the boat

We walked the short distance down to the dock and what I saw there took my breath away, at the dock was a boat that looked imprecisely expensive. I know that Alex had money and was a part of the royal family but I thought he was a distant cousin or something, and I never imagine that Alex would have this kind of wealth. Alex lead me onto the boat and into the deck that had a table for two and low romantic music in the background. Like the gentleman he was he hold out my chair for me before setting himself

Alex's Point of view:

When we began to float out on the ocean, a waiter come and gave each of us a glass of wine that we sipped on while enjoying each other's company and catching up on things that happened since we lasted talked. Soon we was served a fantastic meal but I could see that Sabrina began to realize on how I was nervous so I decided that now was a good time to ask her.

"Sabrina, I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you" After saying that and seeing that she began to understand where this was leading, I stood up from my chair and kneel down beside her chair and pulled out the ring form my pocket

"Will you marry me?" I don't think I've ever been so nervous in my whole life

With tears running down her face, Sabrina throws herself around my neck while canting Yes, Yes, Yes. I don't think I have ever been happier than during that second that I understood that she had said yes. So I carefully took her hand and placed the ring on before giving her a passionate kiss

Sabrina's Point of View:

When the boat began to move, a waiter gave us a glass of wine which we sipped on while enjoying each other's company and just catching up on things that had happened since last we meet. Soon we were served a fantastic gourmet meal but something was up with Alex. It wasn't very obvious to people that don't know him very well but I can with one look know that something is up with him. But once again before I could even think of doing anything, Alex started to speak

"Sabrina, I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you"

OMG, Do he really do what I'm thinking he is doing? And right enough, he gets up from his seat and kneels down beside while pulling a ring out of his pocket

"Will you marry me?" he asks and for once I can hear he is nervous

I began to cry shortly after he asked the question, so with tears running down my face I throw myself at Alex while chanting yes, yes, yes. Alex carefully takes my hand and places the ring on my hand before giving me a passionate kiss that tells me his feeling better than any words can.
