A/N: Hey there! You wanted a 2nd chapter, so here it is. First off...Sorry if I ruined the first chapter...That's why I didn't write one in the first place :)
So enjoy...and everything that happens at night is up to your own imagination ;)
This had been the best night E V E R. I didn't want to be alone, so Sky stayed with me. I woke up, my head on his chest, but I didn't dare moving, 'cause I didn't want to wake him. As sound asleep as he was, he looked totally adorable. A dimmed light glistened through the colored window and created beautiful shadows on his bare chest.
I didn't know if he was awake or not, but he put his arm around me.
I just enjoyed the way he held me, while I was thinking about last night.
Thinking 'bout how he looked in the moonlight, thinking 'bout what he said to me and so on. I was lost in thoughts about my wonderful boyfriend...sorry, I meant fiancé. Strange word, but still a wonderful imagination. I repeated the word in my head again and again. I thought back to Andy. If he'd still be my boyfriend, I don't think that I would have accepted the engagement.
Even if I knew that I was a fairy, I wouldn't. Even if I went through all I've been through, I still wouldn't. Andy was just a boyfriend, a sweet guy, a crush. But Sky was so much more.
I realized that once more when he pulled me closer to him and kissed my cheek.
"Good morning and a merry Christmas, sweetheart." I could hear the smile in his voice. A very sexy smile.
(;D)
"What time is it," he asked when I didn't respond.
"I have no idea."
"And I don't really care," he whispered.
I smiled and turned around, so I could actually see him smile, not just hear.
"So what do you wanna do now, my dear fiancé," he asked, emphasizing the word.
"I have no idea."
"Whoa, Magix to Bloom! Can you say anything else?"
"I have no idea," I laughed and he smirked.
"Sorry, but you are pretty distracting the way you are laying there."
"Oh. Then wait a sec, I'll fix that." He sat up and pulled a shirt, matching his sweats, over his head. He turned his head into my direction and looked down at me.
"Now. What do you want to do now?"
I shrugged my shoulders and stood up too.
"Whoa," I muttered when a wave of vertigo hit me. I stumbled and made a very elegant landing on the floor, head first.
"Bloom, are you okay," Sky asked worriedly, helping me up.
"Oh c'mon. You know me. You should have expected something like this," I laughed. "Thanks I'm fine, I just stood up too fast."
"Well, okay, but I don't trust you at this." He picked me up bridal style and carried me to the bed. He obviously wasn't serious, because after he put me down, he swung himself next to me. He leaned over and bent down to kiss me, but I just slipped away, so he ended up kissing the pillow. I started laughing hardly and he looked at me smirking and also burst out laughing.
"I get the feeling, my fiancé doesn't want to kiss me," he smiled.
"Oh, I do wanna kiss you. May I show you?" I leaned in to kiss him and started a pretty awesome make out session.
"I never knew you had it in you," Sky told me teasing.
"Me neither," I admitted.
We laughed again and it knocked on the door. I still wore the silk top and my sweats, but I didn't wanna let the person wait, so I went to open the door.
I didn't know the person standing in front of me, but he looked like staff of Sky's family.
"Good morning," I said slowly.
"Good morning Miss Bloom. Merry Christmas! I hope I didn't wake you, but the majesties would be pleased to have you for brunch in an hour." He looked past me, saw Sky and nodded as Sky walked next to me.
"Thanks Cade, we'll be there."
After we had closed the door, he told me to be ready in 45 minutes, so he could pick me up and then went to get ready, but not without pecking my lips first.
I watched him walk away and then rushed to the mirror.
"Damn," I muttered as I saw my "hair", or rather haystack.
I brushed it (and probably lost half my hair, according to the amount of single hairs on the bathroom floor) and straightened it a little (which made me lose even more of my hair)
Then I bound it into a ponytail and showered. Unfortunately there hadn't been time to wash my hair too.
I got up and chose an outfit. This time I had to settle with a mint green dress and black tights.
I had ten minutes left, so I went to the bathroom and put on some make up and when my hand reached up to apply my mascara, I saw the beautiful ring once more and I stopped in midair to adore it. After I had brushed my hair a last time it knocked on my door.
"Hey beautiful," he greeted me smiling.
I pecked his lips and he took my hand.
"You don't look too bad yourself," I said smiling.
"Oh c'mon. Don't be so hard. Everyone would look ugly standing next to you!"
"Bootlicker!"
"I like to call it enchanter."
"I have to admit, you sound pretty charming."
We both laughed and I was totally relieved, because it took most of my nervousness away.
We finally reached the dining room, or rather huge dining hall where Sky's parents were already waiting. I dropped a small curtsy as Sky wished his parents a Merry Christmas.
"Merry Christmas to you too. As I can see at Bloom's hand it's one so far," Sky's mom said cheerfully and I blushed.
"So Eraklyon will have a princess soon? That's great! When do you plan to make it public Sky," his father asked him during brunch.
"I don't know. I think I'll talk to Bloom first."
Aww so sweet. Talking to me about public affairs (well, it's about me, but still)
"I see. Well anyway...Do you like it here Bloom?"
"I do. It's wonderful. I think I'm going to take a walk through the garden this afternoon."
"I'm sure Sky will show you the most beautiful parts. I wouldn't walk through the whole garden, though. It's huge and it's pretty cold outside," Sky's mother advised me.
"Thanks for the advice mom, but I already know where to take her," he said, winking into my direction.
"Then you'd better get going soon. We'll await you for dinner at 7 again!"
He rolled his eyes, grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside.
"Sky! Couldn't we have gotten our coats first?"
"Oh Bloom. You are a fairy, aren't you," he said charmingly.
I sighed and snapped my fingers in order to change us into our winter clothes.
He started walking faster and faster, dragging me with him.
"Where are you taking me," I laughed.
"You'll see, but I'm sure you'll love it."
Suddenly he stopped, turned around, pulled me close and pressed his lips on mine.
"Oh you were right. I totally love it," I told him.
He smiled but kept dragging me forwards until we reached a small clearing in the forest.
In the middle there was a fountain. The snow made everything shine like thousands of small diamonds. But the most stunning thing there was the shape of the fountain. It was shaped like a heart and obviously it was more like a bench, because there were stairs leading to the center of the heart.
"Wow," was all that I managed to choke out.
"I get that you like it," he whispered.
"I love it," I said waving my hand to melt away the snow.
"I had it built after I canceled the engagement with Diaspro. For the second time."
I turned to face him and saw that his cheeks were red, whether from the cold or the thing he just said, I couldn't tell, but I took his face in my hands, whispered a low "I love you" and pressed my lips on his.
He pulled me closer and I nestled up on his chest, so he could carry me up the stairs. We sat down on the bench and as I looked up I gasped. Something was chiseled into the heart of stone. (Literally...don't get me wrong here)
As I looked closer I recognized Sky's and my name, which were connected by a small heart.
I squeaked and started grinning. I let myself sink down on his knees, so I could stare up at him, and grabbed his hand, pressing it to my chest, so he could feel my racing heartbeat.
He bent down to kiss me and whispered "forever".
We stayed there until the sun set. It was 5pm already, so we had to get ready for dinner. After we stopped by Sky's room and got his clothes we went to my room.
I showered while he laid down on the bed. The hot water, in contrast to the cold weather, running over my body was totally relaxing. My tight muscles loosened up and I finally had time to think about what happened.
Tears of joy ran down my face, and mixed with the water. My powers started welling up and I heard the water evaporating. As I stepped out the smell of my banana shampoo filled the big bathroom.
I wrapped a towel around my hair, one around my body, and stepped out into the cold bedroom.
I shivered.
"Why are you shivering? You look hot," Sky told me. I didn't know whether he was teasing me or if he was serious.
"Shut it," I ordered laughing.
When he walked past me he pecked my lips and after he closed the bathroom door you could hear a low groan.
"Mmmh. I love your banana shampoo."
I smiled, but didn't respond.
Hearing the not-too-good-sounding voice of Sky, singing under the shower, I decided to put on my dress already. I opened the door to my wardrobe and searched my dress in the dim light of just one light bulb.
Searching for the blue dress, I found a certain black dress and put it on under my evening gown (Just to adjust the little fat I had on my hips of course).
I was sitting on my bed waiting for Sky (this guy took a longer shower than I did...)when my phone rang.
It was a text from Stella
Hey Bloom
wat'cha doin? U didn't text me all...what's up with u?
R U OK? Call me, text me, anything, but TELL ME!
Love
Stella
"Damn," I muttered when I realized that she was right. I promised to text her anything and I didn't text her yet, so I just called her.
"Bloom dahling. I'm so glad you're calling! Tell me everything."
"Hey Stell. Everything is too much to tell you right now, because Sky should be done showering any minute, but-"
"Showering? Like in your room? Like coming out of the shower soaking wet and sexy and all that like in your room?"
"Calm down Stella," I laughed. "He proposed to me last night."
I heard a noisy and very long squeak and Stella started babbling. I didn't really listen to her, but at some point I just said "Merry Christmas, Stella."
"Ooh you're right. Sorry, how could I forget that? I wish you a wonderful Christmas Bloom!"
"So how are things going between you and Brandon," I asked.
"Well, my father doesn't like him very much yet. But as soon as they get to know each other he'll like him. I'm sure about that."
"Me, too. I wish you good luck then Stella, but I've gotta go now. Sky just stopped singing and I guess that means he's done showering."
"Are you wearing the black dress," she asked mischievously.
"STELLA!"
"So you are. Well then. Have a good day Bloom, bye. Love ya!"
"Love you too," I muttered and hung up.
After a few minutes Sky came out, wearing just his boxers. And damn, he was muscular. I mean, not that I haven't noticed before, but...WOW
Well, he's a specialist, so he must be training hours a day. I guess that comes with the job, I thought to myself.
"I see you're ready," he said smiling.
"Well, it's half past 6...You should get ready too."
He gave me a look that said WTF half past 6?
"Yeah. But at least you're totally clean now," I laughed.
"This was a bad joke, you know."
"Yeah I know. And for you insulting my joke I get to dry my hair first," I smirked.
"Fine. If you wish, princess."
After we had dried our hair, I put on some make up and Sky changed into his outfit and we headed off for the dining room.
And I stared at the room as I saw all the people sitting at the table.
"Why didn't you tell me," I whispered at Sky, a fake smile on my lips.
"Oh it should be a surprise," he smiled. Then he raised his voice. "Dear guests. I wish you all a merry Christmas and a wonderful time on Eraklyon. This year I want you to get to know my fiancé. Bloom, princess of Sparx."
The crowd clapped and I blushed. He just introduced me to a bunch of very important people. Had he lost his mind?
After a quite awkward dinner Sky wanted me to "connect" to the people. Yeah right. Like I could connect to people like that.
The only one I really connected with was Brandon, who had to come to Eraklyon for Christmas.
When an elder lady from Eraklyon talked to me, I heard Brandon and Sky talk.
"Congrats bro. But you do realize that married men seem pretty old, right," Brandon teased him.
"Well I don't care, you know. And I bet Stella wouldn't care either," Sky shot back.
"Oh believe me. The time will come that I'll propose to Stella. Actually I already have a date in mind."
I bit my lip. Note to myself: Don't tell Stella ANY of this. Don't ruin the surprise.
Suddenly arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me back.
"Oh. Good evening Sky. Your fiancé is lovely. When I think back to when you were still a baby it seems impossible to stand here talking to your future wife. But she sure is lovely."
"Thanks Mrs. Brennington. I think she's lovely too." He smirked down at me.
"Oh there she is, the princess of Sparx, soon to be princess of Eraklyon," another old man addressed me. All evening people I didn't even know talked to me. And about things...you don't wanna know. This was pretty awful, but it was Christmas, Sky was near, he proposed to me, and we would have the night to ourselves, so I put on a smile and nodded and responded when necessary. After hours, which felt like eternity, all people were gone. The only ones left were Sky's parents, Brandon and obviously Sky and me.
"Now that was exhausting," I stated and Brandon laughed at my face.
"Don't you dare laughing, Brandon," I said jokingly. "You talk to loads of people you don't know, wearing a tight dress and high heels and then we'll see how you look."
"You did great," Sky's mom told me. "Mrs. Brennington and lots of other people told me how lovely you are."
I had to giggle. Either I really was lovely, or Mrs. Brennington thought it was lovely to use that word.
After some minutes of talking Sky dragged me back to my/our room, Brandon tagging along, since his room was near.
Finally there, I collapsed on the bed before Sky could even turn on the lights. He giggled.
"That's not funny," I muffled into a pillow.
"Right, but it's lovely."
I groaned.
"Goodnight."
"Oh come on Bloom. You don't wanna sleep in that wonderful dress, do you?"
I groaned again, reached up my back and opened the zipper. I didn't want to move to much, so I just shrugged out of it. Sky smiled mischievously and finally asked "What exactly are you-?".
But he stopped talking when he saw the black dress I wore under the other one.
"Well...that dress doesn't look like night wear either," he smirked.
"Fine. I'll go change if you let me sleep then," I finally gave in irritatedly.
I was heading for my closet when Sky's hand grabbed my wrist, spinning me around, so he could kiss me.
I moaned as I melted like wax in his arms.
"Every time you kiss me, I know why I said yes," I whispered after he had ended the kiss.
"And every time I kiss you, I know why I proposed to you in the first place."
"Well then...let's remember once again," I teased him, pulling his face closer to mine.
That's it...I really hope you liked it, and if you did or want me to know why you didn't leave a review...It would mean a lot to me!
Love
