Diamonds

Beginning

"Stop," Mara whispered as Jerome kissed down her neck

"Why?" he moaned into her, pulling away "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong." Mara smiled at him, "I just like to see your face." Jerome grinned, how peculiar.

"My face?" he asked, confused.

"Yeah," Mara nodded, she raised one hand up, and let her finger trail down one side of his face, past his strong jaw line, she let her finger run down past his lips. She raised both her hands to run slowly through his impeccably soft and perfect hair, his eyes fell shut, as he kept still. She tangled her hands in his hair, before slamming her lips onto his, with such passion that he almost stumbled backwards into the window.

They pulled away panting, before Jerome grinned at her "I did something for you," he whispered, kissing her nose. Mara frowned

"Oh no…what?"

"I named a star after you,"

"What?" Mara asked, now genuinely confused. Jerome produced a piece of paper from behind him, as if by magic, and handed it to her. Mara strained to read the writing in the darkness of the apartment living room, but she could make it out. "You named a star after me?" she whispered, shocked, touched.

"Yeah," Jerome led her over to the telescope and she looked through it, and of course it was already positioned perfectly.

"That's my star," she whispered. Jerome nodded, before placing his hands on her shoulders and standing her opposite him. "What are you doing?"

"I need to tell you something,"

"What? Is it that we shouldn't have let Amber and Alfie stay the night? They have to! Their apartment is being cleaned-"

Jerome laughed, shaking his head "No no," he whispered, "This." He took Mara's hand in his own, and bent down onto one knee, looking up at her. Mara's gasped in shock. Her free hand flying up to cover her gaping mouth. "Mara Jaffray," he whispered, producing the blue velvet box "Would you do me the honour, of becoming my wife?" he popped the lid, and there lay a simple golden ring with a small diamond. Mara let out a small whimper. Jerome smiled sadly "I know it's not as big as it should be, but I'm hoping the massive diamond out there-" he pointed to the sky, at her star, and suddenly it all made sense "-will make up for it?"

"Jerome…" she whispered "It's perfect,"

Jerome flashed a smile, and it spread across his whole face "So that's a yes, isn't it?"

"Of course it's a yes!" Mara cried, tears in her eyes as Jerome slid the ring onto her finger. Mara let the tears flow, tears of absolute and utter joy, Jerome wrapped his arms around her. "I love you so much," she whispered, burying her head into his chest "So much,"

Jerome let out a relieved chuckle "I know you do, Mrs Clarke." Mara smiled. Jerome kissed the top of her head, and then lay his cheek against it, looking to the door, to spot Alfie standing there silently, a grin on his face, he stuck his thumb up, an old sign they'd had in Anubis.

Jerome gave him a thumbs up back. Alfie air high-fived him, before smiling, and looking at both of them, and turning to head back upstairs to give them their privacy. Jerome hugged the small girl tightly.

Thumbs up.

Thumbs up indeed.
