Chapter 16 - Beginning (2/2)

”You could rest. I know you're exhausted. I'll wake you up once we arrive.” He said.

She didn't say a word and just closed her eyes to sleep.

When they arrived, Andrew didn't wake her up. He was staring at the girl sleeping quietly on the passenger seat next to her. She was exhausted and her body aches all over, he knew that.

Last night was the best sex he had. He couldn't get enough of her. He felt like he wanted her even more after she gave herself to him. He would be spending his life with her from now on and he was really happy about it.

He leaned closer and pressed his lips to her slightly parted lips. She curled her lips and he felt her responding to his kisses. He backed away before he lost control again, kissed her forehead and smiled.

”We're here.” He said.

She looked around and saw they were in front of a shop, Hoseki. Her eyes widened. It was the Smith's Jewelry Store.

He pulled her inside the store before she could say something.

”What are we doing here? I don't need jewelry.” She said.

”Don't worry. I won't buy things you don't like.” He said.

When they entered the store, no one was inside except the manager. She frowned.

Andrew asked her to sit on the couch beside him. Then five staff came out holding a total of ten rings, one on each hand.

She looked at Andrew, confused.

”I asked you to marry me but didn't actually give you a ring so I want you to choose.” He said.

Her heart was pounding and dancing with joy. She couldn't understand why he was doing this but she was happy. She smiled at him and bit her lips. She gave him a quick kiss before standing up to walk towards the staff.

All the rings were pretty and sparkling. She knew they were expensive. It was from Hoseki after all.

”This collection was personally designed by Miss Alora Smith.” The manager said.

She chose a simple eternity ring with a 25-carat diamond ring set in a platinum bond.

Andrew held on to the ring and to her surprise, he kneeled down in front of her and smiled.

”I know we started differently, but I honestly wanted to be with you. Katharina Sommers, will you marry me?” He asked.

She was surprised to hear he knows her real name. She thought he didn't know and he didn't care.

She nodded and almost screamed.

”Yes!” She exclaimed, smiling.

Then he put on the engagement ring to her, stood up and kissed her passionately.

When he let her go, she was jumping with joy when she saw her family and Andrew's father.

Her sisters ran towards her, hugging her tight. He saw Andrew walk to her parents and greeted them. She was so happy and was looking at the man who made her heart beat like a drum. Then he looked at her.

They were staring at each other as if no one was around but them and little did they know that their hearts were beginning to beat for each other.
