Chapter 34:

Small Black Box

"It's so beautiful!" I said as I stared.

It was just past sunset so the sky was an array of purples and darkblues. The entire tower was lit up along with the lake and all the area around it. It was absolutely magical.

"Come on" he said as he pulled me through all the people.

He skipped the ticket line and the long winding line to the elevators but headed doff to a private section that was decorated very fancily.

"Le Jules Verne restaurant, Jacob Black" he told the person that was standing there.

He checked the list and then nodded, letting us pass. The elevator was called down and the waiter was already there, ready to take us up.

"Paris view, right?" he asked Jake who nodded.

I looked confusedly between both of them but then just let it go. He took us up to the second floor of the tower.

"Imagine climbing this by stair" Jake said and my eyes widened. "you'd have to climb 600 steps" he said with a chuckle. (I went to Paris once and we were stupid enough to climb the stairs up. It was one of the most exhausting things I ever did)

"Wow . . . that sounds . . . painful" I said as I watched the people struggle up, sweating, gasping, their legs trembling.

The waiter laughed as the elevator arrived. I gasped when I saw the restaurant. It was super fancy; everyone was dressed like royalty. The waiter led us to a table by the window.

"Paris view" he said and Jake nodded, sitting down.

"This is amazing" I said as I looked out the huge windows that surrounded the restaurant. I could see almost all of Paris from here.

"Incredible isn't it?" Jake asked and I nodded.

The waiter brought us water, soda, wine, bread and salad.

"Vous avez choisi?" the waiter asked in French.

"What?" Jake whispered, confused and I laughed.

French was one of the millions of languages I'd learned.

"Are you ready to order?" I repeated to Jake.

"Oh . . . yeah, I'll have this" he said as he pointed.

"Deus steak frites, s'il vous plaît" I told the waiter. (2 steak dishes please)

"Comment voulez-vous le faire cuire?" he asked.

"How would you like it cooked?" I repeated to Jake.

"Medium-well" he answered.

"À moyen et à tous deux nous og"I told him (medium well for the both of us)

He nodded and ran off.

I nibbled on the bread as I watched Paris bustle under me. The cars looked like ants and the people like little specks.

"Do you like it?" Jake asked.

"It's . . . there are no words to describe it" I told him.

The food came a while later, it was incredible. I ate every last piece.

"Voulez-vous un désert?"

"Desert?" Jake guessed and I nodded as the waiter set down the desert menu.

"What about these?" I asked Jake. "Profiteroles - baked puff pastries filled with cream or ice cream" I read and he nodded.

"Nous aurons une profiterole avec de la crème à partager" I told the waiter and he nodded, walking off. (We'll have one Profiteroles with cream to share)

He came back a couple minutes later with a bowl of the puffs and 2 small spoons.

"Mmm" I said as the puff split open in my mouth.

Jake nodded, popping 2 in at the same time. When we were done, Jake paid with his card.

"Hold on" I said as I wiped cream from his lips and then kissed him. "Thank you, it was amazing" I told him.

"I'm glad you liked it" he said, anticipation in his eyes.

"Are you okay?" I asked again for about the 5th time today.

"I'm fine" he said as he rolled his eyes.

"Okay" I said as we took the elevator down. Once we were down, Jake led me over to a small park in front of the tower.

It was beautiful. It had a big lake which was all lit up and shinning in the moonlight. The grass was a perfect green with flowers, bushes and trees growing all around it. There was also a small fountain and a couple benches.

He stopped me right next to the fountain and turned me to face him. There was a glint in his eyes. A mix between nervousness and again, anticipation.

"Jake what is going on? You—" the next words got stuck in my throat as he slid down to one knee.

Oh my gosh.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen, I have loved you with my whole being from the second I laid eyes on you. I always think about you, every second of everyday and I never want to let you go. Will you marry me?" he said, his eyes full of love as he took out a small black box and opened it to reveal the most amazing ring I had ever seen.

It was silver with a heart-shaped amethyst gem in the middle and small diamonds around it. But I didn't care about that at the moment. All I cared about was Jake. Jake, the love of my life, the reason for my existence.

"Yes" I whispered, tears forming in my eyes. "Yes!" I said.

He got up and I threw my arms around his neck, brining his lips to mine. His lips molded around mine, pouring all his love into me. Finally we pulled apart so our foreheads were touching. His dark as bored into mine, filled with the love I knew was reflected in mine.

"I love you" I whispered.

"I love you" he said back, bringing his lips back to mine.

Time stopped, as if the world had stopped turning. It was just Jake and I in our own perfect world. When he pulled away again, he straightened, taking the ring out of the box. I extended my hand and he slipped it on my finger.

"I can't believe I got engaged in Paris! In front of the Eiffel tower to the best man in the world" I said as I watched the gem glitter in moonlight.

"When did you get this ring?" I asked him as I slipped my hand in his.

"I had it before the trip" he as we began walking.

I turned to look at him curiously.

"I was waiting for the perfect moment" he said and I smiled.

We stayed in the park for about an hour, walking around and enjoying the night. Finally though, we headed back to the hotel. I changed out of my fancy clothing and into my Pajamas. I fell asleep in Jake's arms, my ring still on my finger.

"Ness . . . Ness, wake up!"

"Waffles" I murmured as I turned around.

I heard a chuckle beside me.

"Ness!" Jake said as he shook me.

"What . . .what!" I said as I opened my eyes.

"Come on, you have to get ready. We don't wasn't to mis our flight to London" He said and I nodded as I got up.

Last night's events came crushing back on me suddenly and I quickly looked down at my hand. The ring was still there, forming perfectly around my finger.

"I'm going to take a shower, wanna come with me?" I asked Jake.

"Sure" he said as he got up, his hair sticking out in random places.

I undressed and stepped in under the warm spray. Jake walked in seconds later. It was incredible. I shampooed Jake's hair while he covered my body in soap. Then we switched. I had to admit, I didn't want the moment to end. He kissed me once before grabbing a towel and stepping out. I grabbed another towel and followed after him. I put on jean shorts with a yellow v-neck blouse. I put on a big yellow headband and white ballets.

"Are you ready Little Miss Sunny?" Jake asked, looking at my outfit.

"Just about" I said as I ran around, collecting the last of my stuff. "Now, I'm ready" I whispered, suddenly behind him.

"Then let's go" he said but his lips did a whole another thing.

We pulled apart when we were both gasping.

"Let's go then" I said and he nodded, following me out.

It wasn't until Jake had checked us out and we stepped outside that I realized it was still dark.

"What time is it?" I asked Jake as he loaded up the bags in the car.

"5:00am" he answered.

"Ah" I said, trying to keep the surprise out of my voice.

"We have to be 3 hours early for an international flight but I think we'll be fine with an hour" he said.

I nodded, climbing in quickly. The drive was relatively short, only about 15 minutes. Jake had already checked us in online so all we had to do was drop off our bags and pass through security.

We got to cut both lines because of being First Class; that got us to the terminal early. It was full but Jake was right, there would've been no point in coming 3 hours earlier. At about 6:00am they began boarding and at about 6:15, the plane took off; it was only going to be an hour long flight. I had, again, sat with Jake instead of in my seat. After about 45 minutes, I brought up something that had been troubling me.

"Umm . . . Jake, what are we . . . am I going to . . . with the . . . dad and . . . " I couldn't really explain but Jake got the idea.

"With the ring and with Edward after all that's happened?" he said and I nodded. "It's you're call" He said. "I've waited years so I think I can wait a little longer. You can wait until all this calms down and then . . . well . . . we can tell them or we can do it again or—"

"I'll wait" I said, interrupting his nervous rant. "I love you" I told him sincerely.

I just couldn't believe that this amazing person loved me. Unconditionally loved me, willing to wait, to hurt, to go or do anything for me. It was just . . . almost unbelievable.
