Supercrossed.
I don't own anything.
Congratulations to Calzonafan123 for being the ninety-ninth reviewer (ninety-ninth cos I wanted to be different, Lol), please enjoy the amazingly, super awesome, invisible box of chocolates that I just sent. I hope they taste good ;) x
Also I'm obsessed with the song Beautiful by Patrick Nuo, every time I hear it, Jess Capshaw pops into my mind. It is literally the perfect song for her.. (dreamy expression).
Enjoys =] x
Chapter Forty.
Arizona POV.
"So.." I trail off. Mr. Torres just standing across from me in the kitchen.
"Teddy tells me you are planning on proposing soon?" He asks quietly. I nod confirming what was said.
"Any ideas of when yet?"
"Well, um.. I was thinking after the final race sometime. Maybe take her out or something." He just nods as I add. "I was definitely gonna do it before everyone leaves, so we can all celebrate.. Assuming she says yes that is."
"Oh don't worry about that, she'll be saying yes. I've never seen her this happy with anyone." The knowledge that I make Calliope happy brings a wide dimpled smile to my face.
"Come on, before she sends a search party in looking for you.." He jokes, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and escorting me out.
Exiting the room, my eyes immediately fall upon my gorgeous latina. I make my way over to the arm chair she's in and carefully place myself on her lap, snuggling into her warm embrace.
"You okay, Baby?" I hear Calliope whisper, concern lacing her voice, into my ear.
"Yh," I reply looking into her brown orbs, thoughts of my future with this woman flash across my eyes and I don't want to wait any longer. I lean in and capture her lips in a soft, sensual kiss.
"Go out with me tonight?" I whisper as I pull back a little.
"Always.." She responds laying a quick kiss on my mouth and then my forehead as she wraps her arms tight around me.
Knock Knock
"I'll get it." My Dad says getting up and heading for the door. Coming back, he has Derek in tow.
"Morning everyone!" He announces. "Callie, Teddy.. Good to see you again."
"Good to see you again too." Calliope replies still holding me, her hands rubbing slow circles over my lower back, lulling me into a drowsy state.
"Hey D-Man.. What you wanna talk to us about?" Teddy questions.
"Oh just wanting to let you know that some of your sponsors are going to be hanging around these next few days, so be careful what you do, they know who you are and are watching you. I think their just making sure your representing them decently." He laughs. "So no unfriendly like conduct, okay? No matter what."
"Sure Derek, no problem." Me and Teddy responds earning a small snicker from Timmy.
As the afternoon drug on everyone dispersed leaving me and Calliope to get ready for our date tonight. I told her to dress casual and warm. Not telling her why. Earlier I had got away for 5 minutes and managed to ring down to reception and ask them to get me a picnic together. Champagne, strawberries covered in chocolate, little nibbles, but enough to fill us up and of course not forgetting a piece of double chocolate fudge cake with vanilla frosting.
"So where are you taking me in jeans?" Calliope emerges from the bedroom looking stunning as ever as she makes her way towards me.
"You'll have to wait a little longer and find out." I comment, heading back into the bedroom myself to grab the most important part of the evening.
The ring.
Tucking it into my jacket pocket and doing the pocket up, I tuck it under my arm as I come out and take Calliope's hand in mine.
"You ready, Baby?" I ask receiving a hum of approval. We make our way out and down to the lobby.
I leave her leaning against a chair near the door as I walk to the receptionist to collect my pre-made picnic for the two of us. Walking back to her I take her hand again and lead her outside and help her into the rented car, with driver from the hotel, so we can both have a drink, hopefully in celebration.
Driving away from the hotel and out of the city a little way, Calliope once again questions where we are going. I just take her hand in mine bringing it up and brushing my lips across the back of it and sending her a dimpled smile.
"Be patient. We'll be there in a moment." I whisper in her ear as the car comes to a stop. I ask her to stay put for a second while I set everything up, which she agrees to.
Coming back to the car, I take a deep breathe before opening the door and extending my hand to help Calliope out. As I re-close the door, we make our way over to where I set up the picnic. Hearing a gasp. I turn and see Calliope's eyes take in what I have down. It's a simple blanket placed on the floor with some cushions for comfort. A couple of candles so we can see, food spread out a two champagne flutes next to an ice bucket.
"Wow.. This totally trumps the first date.." She breathes.
"Good." I say jokingly, taking her hand in mine and leading her to sit down. Once settled, I offer a glass of champers to my girl. Gladly accepting it from my hands, I then turn to get some food for us.
A while after eating, we lay back, holding hands, looking into the night sky.
"It's so beautiful out here." She whispers, a shiver running through her body.
"Are you cold, Babe?" I question already reaching for my jacket to wrap round her shoulders. As she sits up she asks if there is any more champagne.
"Yh there is. But .. There's um, something I uh.. want to ask you first." She nods urging me to continue.
I sit up and take a deep breath to calm my sudden nerves, I fell her take my hand and run smooth patterns across my skin.
"What's wrong?" She questions obviously sensing my nerves.
"No, no, nothings wrong." I say turning to face her. I take another deep breath before starting.
"Okay so, since the first moment I met you and our eyes locked, I haven't stopped thinking about you. The way your eyes glow when you talk about something with passion, how your smile lights up your face. The way the moonlight bounces of your features illuminating your beauty past perfection. How your hair shines in the sun and the way you look at me in the mornings, I can't get enough of it.
I think your amazing, awesome, badass, whichever you prefer." I joke. "I find you stunning, your gorgeous. I find you miraculous and well.. I've been thinking. A lot. About you and me, the future. Our future." I pause as I reach forward and into the pocket of my jacket, still wrapped around her.
I retrieve the small box, placing it between us as I open it slowly. Our eyes interlocked, never breaking, not even blinking, for a single second.
"Calliope Torres, perfect, stunning, insatiable Calliope Torres." I smile as the next words come out in a soft tone.
"Will you marry me?"
…
I hope you all liked that and it was to your satisfaction.
I like to keep you all happy, it makes me smile inside =]
