Chapter 23

Jennifer's POV

"A gym? Seriously Emerson? Of all the places in Venice.. you brought me to a gym" I was fuming over him and he was busy lifting dumbels.

"Babe we need to focus on our health also.. and you should work out too.. you know you are getting so heavy"

"Me? Heavy? Then how can you lift me so easily?" I said placing both my hands on my hips ready to fight.

"Easily? It isn't easy babe.. whenever I lift you I feel like I'm gonna die under your weight" he said putting down the dumbel.

"I will not kiss you anymore" I said

"It's okay.. I'll kiss you" he said smiling and winked at me.

He opened his shirt and lifted another heavy dumbel..  don't know why these boys are gym freaks.

I looked around and found a few women drooling over his body.

But you know what. HE IS ALL MINE.

I went towards Emerson and asked him to wear the shirt back.

"Why? Those women are enjoying me.. let them" he said.

"Okay.. " I smiled and went to the treadmill near.

I removed my overcoat and was now only in my gym clothes which had a short crop top and shorts.

I started running on treadmill and could see one or two men smiling at me. I smiled back and continued.

"Wtf are you doing" Emerson came after a few seconds.

"Workout babe.. trying to lose my weight" I said innocently.

"Wear your clothes" he said covering me from the sight of those men.

"Why? Those men are enjoying me.. let them" I whispered the last part in his ear.

"You are only for my eyes" he said stressing on each word.

"Understood?" he asked and I nodded.

I wore my coat back and he was back in his shirt. He held my hand and pulled me out of the gym.

"Let's go somewhere else.. what about boating in the canals?" he asked.

"I love it!!" I said jumping and he laughed.

I have always loved floating. And this place.. there aren't lanes. One has to go on boats to other places and that's one of the reasons I love this place.

"Are you enjoying babe?" he asked smiling at me when I was enjoying the waters.



"Yes..  a lot" I said throwing my hands in air making him laugh.

"What's next?" I asked him.

"I have two dreams.." he said.

"What are they..,?" I asked.

"I want to kiss you at two places..

First is the St. Mark's Square here." he said.

"And second?" I whispered.

"Below Eiffel tower" he whispered and I smiled.

"Well... France is far. And we are in Venice now" I said and he smiled.

Emerson's POV

I brought her to the Square and she looked excited and happy.

She is running holding my hand and I couldn't take my eyes off her.



"This is amazing.. this place is very beautiful.. " she said and I nodded.

"Now.." I said pulling her towards me.

"I have to live one of my dreams" I whispered and she blushed.

"There are many people here, Emerson" she said looking around.

"That's what I want babe.. to tell the whole world that you are mine and show them that I only I can kiss you like this" i pulled her without any warning and claimed her lips.

We parted after a few seconds and she was breathing heavily.

"That was..."

"Amazing" he said completing my sentence and pulled me into his arms.

"This is the safest place for me" she said looking at me.

"You will be safe forever. Do you think I'll let you go out of my arms? You are mine Babe.. MINE" I said stressing on mine and she just laughed at me.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked her.

"Nothing.. leave. So... Pictures?" she said pulling out her mobile and we were pouting and posing like maniacs.

I received a call.

"Hello!"

"Everything is ready sir"

"Okay thanks.. we'll be there"

I kept my phone back.

"Who was that?" she asked me.

"Let's go" I said pulling her.

"There's something more?" she asked excitedly and I nodded.

We reached back home and she was still confused what's next. I assured her that this would be the most beautiful thing in your life.

"There's a dress for you in the room. Go and change" I said kissing her cheek.

"What?" she looked confused.

"Just do as I say" I said pushing her towards the room.

Now ... It's your turn to get ready Emerson.

Jennifer's POV

I am confused. What's going on with him. He literally pushed me to the room and i found a box on the bed when I entered.

"What are you planning Emerson?" I thought and opened the box.

"Oh... Wow!!"



I was mesmerised with dress. It was a light pink sleeves gown with floral above.

"This is so beautiful" I said and ran to change into this dress.

It looked amazing on me.

I must say Emerson has some great choices. I was blushing myself thinking about Emerson's reaction when he'll see me in this.

There was a knock at the door.

"Ms. Winget" one of the lady staff came.

"Please follow me.. sir is waiting for you down" she said and I smiled and followed her.

Emerson was waiting downstairs.

When our eyes locked we both stopped and stared each other.

He looked delicious. Yeah.. he was in a grey suit and he looked like a model in this.

"Emerson" I called him bringing him back to reality as he was still staring.

"Uh. Yes.. you look beautiful Jennifer" he said placing his hand on my face.

"You too look good Emerson" I said and he blushed. Yes he blushed. For the first time.

"Come" I curled my arm in his and we started walking.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

He pointed towards the garden



"Emerson" I whispered coz I was lost of words.

"When did you even planned all this?" I asked him and he smiled. I went forward and admired how beautiful it was looking.

"Please!" he said pulling out a chair for me.

"Thank you" I said taking the chair.

We enjoyed my favourite food he prepared for us and even thanked him a lot for making this evening so beautiful for me.

"I enjoyed our time here Emerson.. I'm happy" I said and he got up

"Well.. there's the last thing for this evening." he said and bent near me. I got up in shock. He pulled out a box from his pocket and opened it to reveal a beautiful diamond ring.

I covered my mouth with my eyes grown bigger.

"Jennifer.. thanks. For everything. For making me what I am today. For making a Playboy to a responsible man who is now ready to take all the responsibilities but I can't do this alone. You accompanied me till here and I want you to stay with me forever. I love you Jennifer. I can't even think of a second without you. You are my everything babe..

Will you marry me" he asked with the most innocent eyes which was waiting for my answer.

I was quiet for a moment. Not because I had some doubt but because I wasn't expecting this to come.

"Yes" I whispered and a huge smile appeared on his face. He placed the ring in my finger and pulled me in his arms.

"I love you Jennifer"

"I love you more Emerson"
