Chapter 20~ the Ring

The boys call us onstage of the last concert of tour in Spain. Niall convinced the managers to make the color white. Before walking onstage, I glance to my right, where Bella stands. She wears a simple white sundress and sandals. To my left Hazel wears white skinny jeans, a white tee shirt, and white converse. Her hair actually pulled up in a white ribbon. My white, lace, knee length spaghetti strp dress matches the bow that holds half of my hair back, other than my bangs that I, out of nerves, sweep to the side. my white strappy heels have a lace pattern on top. We walk onstage and I take Niall's hands.

“And let’s give it up for these lovely ladies!” Louis says excitedly. Cheers rise up. Being that Hazel is from Spain, there are mostly cheers, but you can still hear the boos in the crowd. We all hold hands and do one final bow before walking off stage.

“Meet me on stage in an hour.” Niall whispers in my ear before running off and disappearing.

I slowly walk onstage, my heels clicking along. A single table sits in the middle of the empty stage, lit by candles and set for two. A small stereo plays nothing on you by Bruno mars.

“You like it?” the voice behind me causes me to jump. I turn around to Niall who stands in jeans and a white polo shirt. He flashes me a dorky smile. I nod, the curls of my hair bouncing along. He leads me to the table and we sit. He awkwardly smoothes the table cloth and sits his hands in his lap.

“What is it Niall?” I ask, bringing his head up.

“What?” he says more than asks.

“You’re nervous. You’ve never really been nervous around me, or at least you haven’t showed It.” he gives me another nervous smile. I take a bread roll from the center of the table and tear off a piece and setting it in my mouth.

“Ok,” he says, fleeting out a long breath. “I am nervous.” He admits, staring at his fidgeting hands in his lap. “I am so nervous and I had this whole speech planned out.” He stands up and I stand, stepping closer to him. “But, Im just going to come out with it. Kadessa Brant, I love you, and I can’t even fathom a world without you. Your smile lights up my days and I want to be with you till my last breaths.” I watch in shock as he gets down on one knee and pulls out the little velvet box from his pocket. He slides it open and my hands fly to my mouth. I feel tears well up in my eyes. “Kadessa Brant, will you marry me?” I stand, in shock. The beautiful yet simple ring he holds out to me holds my attention. The single diamond is shaped as a heart and sits on the silver band. As a tear forces itself free I nod, at a loss for words.

“yes.” I choke out. “Yes, yes, yes, yes” I squeal. He stands up and I hold out my shaking left hand. He slides on the ring before taking me into his arms. He quickly yet passionately kisses me, a smile over taking us both.

“I really just did that.” he says in shock, through the smile.

“We really just got engaged.” I say, giggling with joy. He twirls me around, the smile not leaving his face. Truly Madly Deeply comes on the little radio and Niall wraps his arms around my waist. I wrap mine around his neck and his forehead comes down to grace mine. “I love you.” I whisper, widening his smile.

“I love you more.” he whispers back at me. “Now, we have dinner to get to.”

“I just want to go home,” I admit. “And cuddle.” I add, that being my favorite thing to do.

We walk into the hotel suite, hand in hand. The girls give questioning looks, but we just keep walking.

“Im gonna go take a shower.” He whispers before opening the door. He gives me a quick kiss before disappearing behind the door. I slid along the now closed door until I am sitting on the floor, twisting the sparkling ring on my finger.

“What happened?” Bella asks, Hazel smiling like a dork behind her. I slowly stand up, tear in my eyes again. “Is everything okay……” she drops off her question as I hold up my hand. We both scream, jumping up and down like girls meeting one direction. We hold each other’s hands while still jumping. This brings the other boys out of their rooms. Harry and Liam looking worried at the piercing screams. “You’re engaged!!!” Bella yells.

“Im getting married!” I squeal, still jumping. I stop, quickly turning and hugging hazel.

“You’ve got to call Jace.” She says. Oh, yea, Jace went back home to settle down, so that we would have somewhere to stay once tours over.

“Phone someone?” Liam is the first one to pull his out. I quickly dial Jace’s number and put the phone to my right ear. I twirl my hair with my left hand as it rings.

“Hey Liam” jace's voice rings in my ear.

“Jace?!” I practically yell.

“Oh, hey Kadessa, what’s up?” He asks.

“Do you have a suit?” I ask.

“No…… why?” He says, extremely curiously.

“Im getting married.” There is a long pause. “Niall just proposed, im getting married!” I squeal.

“That’s amazing!” he says, clearly happy for me. “Get back down here so I can hug you.” He says, joy in his voice, and with that he hangs up. The door opens and Niall stands there in sweats and a tee shirt. By now, the only ones standing there are Liam and Bella.

“Im getting married.” I say again, loving being able to say it. With that I go into our room and disappear into the still steaming bathroom to quickly change into sweats and a tank top. I crawl onto the bed and lay next to Niall, my head resting on his chest. “We are going to get married.” I can’t help but say it again. The TV blares away, and I snatch the remote, instinctively switching it to the wedding channel, where a couple gets married. The dad walks the bride down the aisle. I sit up, the realization suddenly hitting me.

“What’s wrong?” Niall asks, reading my face.

“He’s not going to be there.” I say, in a numb tone.

“What?”

“He isn’t going to be there. My dad isn’t going to be there to walk me down the aisle.” I feel a tear roll down my cheek. He quickly brings up his hand to wipe away the tear.

“Im so sorry my love.” He says the pain in his voice. “I wish there was something I could do.”

“It’s ok,” I sadly admit. “He will smile on and will always be there in my heart.” I say. Niall lies back down and I do the same. He takes my left hand in his, kissing the ring before laying our hands on his chest and dozing off to sleep.
