An Offer She Can't Refuse

*****Eric's POV *****

"Hey, Victor is as clumsy as Violet." Said Hunter making everyone laugh whilst she threw popcorn at him.

All of us were snuggled up with each other on different sofas. I lied down on the sofa facing the TV with violet lying right on top of me snuggling into my chest whilst watching the movie.

The part where Victor ran away from his wedding rehearsal and headed into the woods came up.

Go time!

*****Violet's POV*****

Just as Victor ran into the forest Eric grabbed the remote and muted the TV.

Boy, what the hell are you doing!

" With this hand, I shall lift your sorrows.Your cup will never be empty, For I will be your wine.With this candle, I will light your way in darkness.With this ring, I ask you to be mine." Said Hunter who was down on one knee.

Oh my God...

I stared in utter amusement, he was completely in sync with with the movie when he said his vows that left us astonished.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Exclaimed Diana quickly as she pulled him up so he was now towering over her and on her tippy toes she gave him a sweet loving kiss.

Awe...

I smiled at my dearest brother's romantic gesture. He knew how much the movie meant to Diana and he made it even more special to her.

When Diana was little it was her and her mother's favorite movie but her mother's sudden demise left her shatter, the movie gave her comfort and helped her deal with her reality.

"That's so sweet!" Said Ethan.

"Never thought you had it in you." Said Sophie.

"I automatically feel very lonely." said Camilla making us laugh except the two love birds who seemed to be on their own world.

"Okay, so a toast the newly engaged couple, may your lives be ever so sweet as this orange juice!" I said raising my glass.

"To Diana and Hunter!" We all shouted but not at the same time so it sounded terrible but it made us all laugh.

"I am just a little hurt that you never told me anything but you told Eric." I said to Hunter dramatically.

"Well, I don't know how to say this really, but I like his company more than I like your's." He said jokingly.

"Fuck you." I laughed whilst throwing more popcorn at him.

"Guys, not to be that person but can you all shut up and put the movie back on." said Diana causing us to sit in silence and watch the movie.

Hormones...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I had my head on Eric's chest as I cried my heart out watching the end. I couldn't begin to even imagine what it's like to have your hopes and dreams stolen from you.

"Sweetheart, are you okay?" asked Eric little laugh after credits began to roll.

"That was a wonderfully sad movie." I stated after regaining my composure.

"What I don't understand is how your mother let you watch this as a child? This is a bit dark, can you imagine childern singing about how we all gonna die one day?" asked Sophie shocked.

"I only truly understood the movie when I was a teenager." Said Diana laughing," the main thing for me was spending time with my mother."

"How do you get emotionall attached to a movie? " asked Sophie.

" I don't really, it just reminds me of her, I feel like she is her with me when I watch it. Anyway, I know it sounds stupid but it was my coping mechanism. " said Diana.

"It's not stupid Die, when I watch 'Back to the future' I think about how my family used to be before everything went down hill, to me when I was younger it was kind of the sign of hope, in a werid way." Said Eric.

"When I watch 'RoboCop' , I think about how my dad and I killed that movie before he died on duty. It reminds me of him" Said Hunter, when we were in high school his father got shot saving a pregnant woman, he jumped infront of the bullet before it hit her during a robbery.

I blinked a few times so no tears would fall from my glistening eyes. Today is a happy day, there is no place for tears.

*****Eric's POV*****

"Bye guys, don't forget the Christmas feast next week!" Violet yelled out to them as they got into there cars really to leave.

"Thank you so much, bud!" Yelled Hunt from his car window and I nodded to him with a smile.

"What time do you think Reece and Ella will be home?" asked Violet as we walked towards our bedroom after our friends left.

"They will be home at 2 or 3 am." I said, " I know it's weird but Reece, always stays with me when Ella comes down from London we all stay together." said Eric and we jumped into bed and she just smiled at me. God, that smile makes my heart skip a beat.

"It's not werid, it's family. " She said laughing whilst lying in my arms with her head resting on my bare chest as her fingers gently brushed over my bare chest.

"I love you." She said and placed a gentle kiss on my lips before moving her head back on my chest and with that she was out like a light.

So adorable.

There's not a day that goes by where I don't fall deeper in love with her. She truly is my everything and I know for a fact that my life would be dark without her smile to light up the darkness.

I smiled as I took one last look at my gorgeous wife before letting sleep consume me.

*****Violet's POV*****

The next morning I woke up to an empty space beside me as the snow fell outsides. Just looking out the window made me feel like I was gonna die of frost bite.

I turned to my left hand side and got the shock of my life when I saw my reflection in the long mirror. My hair was everywhere. It looked as if I have a nest on my head.

Well, that sure as hell will keep Freddy Krueger away.

Agh!

I began to try and tame the beast when the bathroom door opened and a very hot and handsome Eric walked out with his towel lowly wrapped around his waist. I felt my throat go dry as I watched the water droplets slide down from his chest to his six pack.

Thirsty much?

" Hey sexy." he said with a boyish grin trying with all his might to keep his laugh in but he eventually cracked.

"Shut up." I said whilst throwing a pillow at his as he burst out laughing.

I jumped of the bed and walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

"Mmmhhhh... What is that heavenly smell." I asked as I entered the kitchen.

"I'm making waffles." Said Eric as he put 4 plates on the granite table in front of me.

" I can so get used to this." I said whilst taking a seat on the black high chair and rested my hands infront of the table.

Eric smiled at me as he leaned forward and placed a sweet gentle kiss on my lips.

"Get a room." said Reece as he entered the kitchen we both pulled away whilst mirroring each other's smile.

"Good morning, so what's for brekkie?" asked Ella as she got into the kitchen.

"I made some waffles." said Eric as he placed one in each of our plates.

"Dench?" she said whilst taking the other seat next to me.

Dench?

Just as I was about to ask her what it meant the door bell rang and I immediately got up the door, but I stood there completely shocked and incredibly happy with the door wide open,"Nonna?" I said as I rushed into her arms engulfing her into a hug.

"Katherine, Tesoro mio!" she exclaimed joyfully, "Mi sei mancata."

(Katherine, my sweetheart !)

( I missed you.)

"I missed you too." I said softly as whilst hugging her, I felt my eyes being to water.

More than you know...
