Celestia
Ramon brought everyone over and Steph, Lu, Rose, and I stayed in one room while Ethan, Luke, James, and Ramon stayed in another.
"I wonder why he's invited all of us as well," questions Steph as she zips up the rest of her dress.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNfXiuABe6
"I definitely know, but I'm keeping my mouth shut." smiles Rose.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4sdBoscCa
"What?" I say as I whip my head around to look at her. "He told you where he was taking us?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfrPSjwMXY
"Yep, all I'm going to say is that it's far and we have to take his jet. But that's all I'm giving you. This is your surprise after all."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKoRc0gwpM
"Awe dammit, can't you at least tell me the place we're going? Y'all know I hate surprises. Hence why I was scared finding out that I'm growing an actual human being in my stomach." I reply as I point to my belly.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBxSNZkUKn
"Girl, you'll be fine, It's a cute surprise," she says.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFUgAUHqOL
"Yeah, it's gonna be so adorable!" perks up Lucy.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TF8hxt8YO
I gasp as she places the last pin in my hair.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUR830nPo9
"Don't tell me that you're in it too,"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY5Aw0SAOj
"I am, I had to help him with something, you're not getting anything out of me," she says as she spins me around in my chair to give my hair and makeup a once over.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6nOzT9J2k
"Am I the only one here that doesn't know?" I pout.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84AwysDfpP
"Yep, well besides Steph of course, but she'll find out later," replies Rose.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eIxumNM5N
"Y'all are so cruel to me."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskbMakbTfu
"It's for your own good," Lucy laughs as she glides the makeup brush across my cheek. "Alright, all done, go put on your dress."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUBxHlYJjw
I get up and go to the closet to pull out the white dress hanging in it. It was one of the whitest dresses I've probably ever worn. It has a slit on the right leg, both sides near the waist were open with a diamond-like pattern to show off my skin. There were no sleeves and the top of the dress almost looked like the ears of a cat. I take it off of the hanger and Rose helps me inside of it, zipping me up. I look at myself in the mirror and smile. Lucy comes next to me and lays her hands and head on my shoulder.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT6Q3hez5j
"You look absolutely breathtaking C,"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxRT1fLhd1
"Thank you, this dress does take my breath away," I sigh.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIlBfELdMw
"You're so lucky, your man has taste in fashion." giggles Rose. "Step out with me Steph,"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmftT4jQlj2
I put on my silver earrings and bracelet and the new white-collar Ramon gave me this morning. It was a simple thin collar with a silver heart in the middle.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchDbr0AV3I
When Steph and Rose step back into the room, Stephanie had a smile on her face from ear to ear.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5cPQsNn77
"Damn, not you too," I pout again.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpCmtcWMAt
"No pouting, you're gonna mess up your face," says Lucy as she uses her fingers to gently lift up my cheeks.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTWiM9L9bA
"Okay, okay, no more pouting."
We then hear a knock at the door.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0N6ywValb
"We're all dressed, come in," says Rose.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4up4BPyJ3T
James opens the door and I catch him smiling at Lucy before he enters the room.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hT8rG0eGU
"You all look beautiful, Ramon wants to know if you all are ready to go."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoscCmD62mm
"Yeah?" questions Rose as she looks back at us to confirm.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhAhME7IrY
I nod my head as I slip on my flats and grab my purse in one hand and my heels in the other. We leave the room and follow James downstairs to the living room where the others were waiting.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydmfwqi3Gm
Luke whistles in approval and Stephanie giggles. Ramon walks up to me slowly and smiles at me, kissing me fondly.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuHK0LLBp2
"Hi, Queen,"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRWtIeST7
"Hi King," I smile back.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9EqJctA5k
"You ready?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVGJ6S47iE
"Always,"

Seven or so hours can make you think quite a lot. I wondered about the baby that I now had growing inside of me. I wondered about how far Ramon and I came along. And I wondered about how proud my dad would be to see his little girl all grown up.
I look out and see the Eiffel Tower, gleaming with lights, as we fly by it.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7wlHOLn76
"You brought us to Paris?" I whisper to Ramon, my head laying on his shoulder.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNhXiCesog
"I did, your mother told me that you've always wanted to come here."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYXADlGnXK
"She did?" I reply, looking up at him.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfejvZCllV
"She did. And she told me every embarrassing thing that you've ever done. Including the time when you had your first period." he smiles.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q9WMEuCVM
"She. Did. Not." I say as my eyes go wide.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7aGwUiqcH
His grin gets wider and he just nods.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaHZlRpssd
"Oh, God. Kill me now," I whine and turn away from him.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Pyqf0k6U
Ramon laughs and only pulls me closer to him.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y0z5kUzaq
"Why would she tell you that?" I shake my head.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMllyeZK9tB
"She got on the memory train and I couldn't stop her, plus being able to see your baby pictures was fun, you are so cute," he replies as he nuzzles his head in my neck.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIXi6cjtQm
"Better I wasn't there then, I would've been so embarrassed," I say, putting my face in my hands.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfvGMTOgmH
He chuckles a little then turns my face to face him. He lightly kisses me and smiles down at me.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyRtOIbKW0
"I love you," I whisper to him as I look him in the eye.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs5UBPqoJp
"And I love you," he replies kissing me again.

We were staying at another place of Ramon's. I'm convinced that he has a place in every country at this point. We went out to eat and now we were on our way to Versailles, France after an afternoon in Paris. 259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ESGmAxnAz
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcrCPPzt9V
It was dark out now, but all the dim lights looked like little stars that had fallen from the sky. 259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa0qi9xNnb
"Are you going to tell me where you're taking me?" I ask Ramon as he takes my hand and helps me out of the car.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXieGwEEoc
"Nope, you'll find out soon enough," he smiles.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOP14KLJ5e
I look to my left and Lucy gives me a small wink.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqthx5POxY
"I love how easily gullible you are," she says and giggles.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6eFTuayIs
"Don't tell her that!" James says and he pulls her away from me.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneC5M9FQCE
Ramon wraps his arms around my waist and we walk for a few minutes in silence. As we walk, I notice that we were in a garden. A very large and spread out one at that. As the walkways came from different sides and connected in different places it looked like we were going through a maze.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8kCLyHQCA
"We're in the back of the Versailles Palace, my love," he whispers to me as he notices me looking at the huge architecture.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo23rCkjEtR
"It's so beautiful, I've only seen it in pictures-oh, what's this?" I ask as I see a string quartet playing in the middle of the garden right behind the large circle of water. My friends were already dancing together and I smile, remembering the first time we were like this.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk21TayEixG
"Another night of dancing," he replies and holds out his hands.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZhFo6ctBk
I smile, placing my hands in his, and he spins me into his arms.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqEk2KRs4V
"Can I ask you a question?" I ask mid-dance.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqXg7TkhAS
"Yes,"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXavaaUxYM
"Is there a reason behind all this or did you just want a lovely night out with your girl and your friends?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllYnqKQ2KL
"Both," he grins.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoJAWnQvd4
"Awe, come on, you gotta give me something baby,"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEL3v3e3P7
"Nope, as I said before, you'll find out soon enough,"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQwMmy4QkP
I sigh and he pulls me closer and places my head on his shoulder as we move back and forth.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ8mPTvk3A
The song seemed to be coming to an end and I notice that James had vanished and come of them were sitting by the bushes.
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Ws6EKalr
"Remember that day when I brought you a few gifts before you went to the club?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaD9FQ9Rs0
"Yeah?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw3jBSJ1VL
"Remember what you guessed it was?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyUQBxypf0
"Uhh," I look up as I think back to that day. "I don't remember."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBcPJ2WqW3
"Well, you ask for something and today, I brought it for you." he smiles. "Turn around."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWZp1mPBHE
I turn and gasp at the small Maltipoo puppy in the arms of James.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsorLbOkrBv
"A puppy?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTJgeEeJYh
"Not only a puppy," James says and gives me a wink.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRgkqx3Z8U
He lets the dog go and it jumps from his arms and runs over to me. I scoop it up in my arms and gently pet its head as he licks my face. It was the cutest thing ever.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtUD43w6yh
"I can't believe you actually got me a puppy. What in the world could be better than this precious pup-?" I question as I turn around.
Ramon was on one knee. With a ring box in his hand. With a beautiful ring inside of it. With a wide smile on his face. Tears start to form in my eyes and my lips start to quiver.
"Celestia, for years I have quietly watched you from afar and the biggest mistake I have ever made was not talking to you sooner. I am so glad to have met you and I am ready to spend the rest of my life with you. I can't wait to start a family with you. And I can't wait for you to be the first person I wake up to and go to sleep to. So, Celestia Hadleigh Crowe, will you marry me?"
"Yes, a million times yes!"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoGhLHMecp
