《The Billionaire's Proposal》Engangement Announcement Part II

"All done." Amelia states as she is done doing my make up.
I look at myself in the mirror and smile up at Amelia gratefully.
"Thank you." I state with a smile which she returns.
We arrived back at Adrian's mansion at four giving us and hour to eat and I took a thirty minute shower (which was a record), and it took me another hour to do my hair and make up. It was now seven thirty and Adrian would be arriving soon since the party starts at nine.
"You look amazing Jane, do you need help putting on the dress?" Amelia asks.
"No, thank you." I respond as I stand up from the chair.
Amelia checks her clock and states, "Well I better be going. I will see you at the party, bye."
I walk Amelia to the door and thank her before she walks over to Adrian's other limousine that will take her home. I wave goodbye before heading upstairs. I walk back upstairs and touch up on my lipstick. I grab the dress that was hanging on my closet door. I take the beige lace dress out front the bag it was in and lay it on my bed being careful not to rip it. I untie my robe and let it fall onto the ground leaving me in only my PINK girl boxers. I slide on the dress and clip it on the neck part before reaching to my back and try to zip it up. Unfortunately my hand wasn't that long so I was struggling.
"Need some help?" Adrian's voice states causing me to jump.
My hand goes to my frightened heart as I state, "Didn't your parents tell you to knock before entering?! What if I didn't have the dress on!"
Instead of answering Adrian walks over to me an turns me around before slowly zipping up my dress his fingers lightly rubbing on my skin causing goosebumps to run down my arms. Adrian leans down to whisper in my ear his breathe tickling me and causing my heart to beat faster.
"If I had walked on you while you were naked I wouldn't be standing here just zipping up your dress." He states causing my heart rate to accelerate. "Instead I would have thrown you on the bed and rocked your world."
I turn around and smirk at him before responding, "We signed an agreement remember? You can't touch me without my permission."
Adrian leans down, our lips were mer inches from touching. I look up into his blue eyes which had turned a shade darker.
"Oh honey, I wouldn't have needed your permission because you would have been begging me to fuck you." Adrian states.
Oh god!
Adrian's eyes moved from my lips to my body and back to my eyes. I swallowed the lump on my throat and I could hear my heartbeat.
"In your dreams." Is the only thing that would come out of my mouth.
"A guy can dream." Adrian states as he walks towards the door. "I will wait for you downstairs."
Once the door closes I let out a deep breathe I didn't even know I was holding in. I close my eyes as I let out a long sigh. I quickly compose myself and grab my beige clutch bag and place my phone inside of it. I look at myself in the mirror and smile before walking out of my room. At the bottom of the stairs was Adrian talking through the phone.

"Yeah dad we will see you there soon." He states before hanging up the phone and extending his hand out for me to take.
He walk out of the mansion and head towards the black limousine. The chauffeur greeted us with a smile which I at least returned.
"Good day miss Hamilton." David stated as he opened the door for us.
"Thank you David." I respond before I climb into the limousine.
Adrian walks in after me and takes the seat next to me.
"Can't you stop flirting for a minute?" Adrian states and my mouth falls.
"Excuse me?!"
"Thank you David." Adrian replies mimicking me and failing.
"That's not how I sound. And I didn't know that saying 'thank you' was considered flirting." I snap.
Adrian just rolls his eyes and takes out his phone. I roll my eyes as well and look out the window.

The car comes to a stop and the door is opened. A bunch of lights flashed and I squinted my eyes trying to get them adjusted to the sudden brightness.
"Let's get this show on the road." Adrian states as he gets out first and then turns around to help me out.
I am met by the warm Miami breeze and a bunch of paparazzi. Adrian places his hand on my lower back as he leads us down the red carpet. Many of the reporters yell out questions but we just continue to walk.
"Just walk and smile." Adrian whispered into my ear and I nodded.
The glass doors are opened for us and we enter the huge ballroom. Mrs. And Mr. McKeller are the first ones to greet us.
"Jane sweetie it's so nice to see you again." Mrs. McKeller states as she gives me a warm hug.
I smile up at her and reply, "It's nice to see you too Mrs. McKeller."
"Oh honey call me Anna." Mrs. McKellar answers and I nod.
"Jane is good to see you again." Mr. McKellar states as he gives me a hug.
"Nice to see you too." I reply with a smile.
"Well, we will be right back I want to introduce Jane to some people." Adrian states before leading us away from his parents.
"Adrian!" Comes a voice behind us and we turn.
A girl with dirty blonde hair walks over to Adrian and she kind of reminded me of Gabby.
"Angelica." Adrian replies as the two hug.
Angelica. Where have I heard that name from?
"And you must be Jane." Angelica states as she checks me up and down.
"Yes, this is my beautiful fiancé." Adrian respond with a fake smile.
"Adrian can you be a dear and get me something to drink please?" Angelica states and Adrian nods before heading towards the bar.
"Look Jane, I know my brother well and I know that he would never marry someone like you." Angelica states. "He is probably just using you so he can get the company."
"Whether he is or not it shouldn't be any of your business." I retort.
"Well it is because thanks to you Adrian stopped talking to Jasmine my best friend." Angelica responds.
I roll my eyes and state, "Look I don't feel like fighting with a stuck up rich girl like you so let's just leave at okay?"
Before Angelica can answer I spot Amelia walk into the room and I walk over to her.
"Hey Jane." She states as I approach.

Her hair was in a stylish chignon and she wore a white too, burgundy bottom dress that really suited her.
"Hey Amelia." I reply as I give her a hug. "You look amazing."
"Thanks." She responds with a smile. "So where is your Prince Charming?"
"Wow, that's three people now that call him that." I reply with a smile.
"Really, who else calls him that?" Amelia asks as we make our way to the bar.
"Well at the diner I used to work at I had two best friends that would always say Adrian was my Prince Charming." I respond as I take a sip of champagne.
Amelia lets out a soft laugh before someone clears their throat and we turn around to find Adrian standing behind us.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you two young ladies but I need to steal Jane." He states.
"Uh sure, I will see you later." Amelia replies before walking off to greet our co-workers.
"What do you want?" I ask as I place my glass on the bar counter.
"In order to make our fake act work we need to be together like the fake couple we are." Adrian answers. "That and also diner will be served shortly."
I roll my eyes before putting on a fake smile on my face and following Adrian to our assigned table. His parents and his siblings (except his brother) where all seated at the table.
"Hey Adrian, long time no see." A girl seated next to Angelica states.
"Hello Jasmine." Adrian responds as he kisses her hand.
So that's Jasmine!
I roll my eyes and take a seat next to Gabby. Instead of sitting next to me Adrian sits with his sweet sisters and her not so Saint of a friend. Wow, he should be sitting with me I am his fiancé fake or not!
"Ugh, I don't get why mom and dad let that bitch in." Gabby murmurs only so I could here. "She thinks she's all that."
"So I am guessing you don't like her?" I ask as I raise an eyebrow.
"Oh hell no! I rather be friends with the devil than her." Gabby answers causing me to laugh. "I still don't get what my brother saw in her."
I smile at Gabby who was giving Jasmine a nasty look.
"Mr. McKeller, Mrs. McKeller so sorry for the tardiness I had some traffic problems but now I am here. My dad sends his best wishes and greetings since he wasn't able to make it." Came a familiar voice I thought I'd never hear again.
I was too scared to even look up in fear that my predictions would be true. I finally gather all my courage and look up. My brown eyes meet with his green eyes. Why don't you love me god? I look away but I could feel his gaze burning a whole on my head.
"Hello Damian, it's nice to see you too take a seat." Mr. McKeller states and Damian does as told.
I really felt like face palming myself. I looked up and his eyes were still trained on me. Thankfully our food soon arrived!
***
Everyone was walking around and talking before Mr. McKeller's voice interrupts us.
"Goodnight everyone." He states. "I hope you are all having a good time. I wanted to take this time to announce that my son, Adrian, will be taking over McKeller industries in only two weeks. Adrian would you like to come up here and give us a few words."
Adrian walks up to the stage and smiles at everyone who starts clapping. Huh, I think that's the first time I have seen him smile.
"Hello everyone. As my dad just told you I will be taking over McKeller industries soon which I am very excited for but tonight I would like to take this moment to tell you something even better. Jane, will you come up here and join me?" Adrian states and I walk over to the stage.
Adrian takes my hand before continuing to talk, "A couple of days ago I asked this amazing girl here to marry me, and she said yes!"
Everyone starts cheering and applauding.
"You are all invited to the wedding and I really hope to see everyone there, we both really hope to see everyone there." Adrian finishes before we walk of the stage.
Many people walk over to us and congratulate us. We thank everyone and tell them they are welcomed to join us on our wedding day.
"Would you mind me stealing him for a minute, okay thanks bye." Jasmine states as she steals Adrian away from me.
"Bitch." I mutter under my breathe.
"Having problems?" Damian's voice asks from behind me.
I roll my eyes and turn around to face him, my ex!
"What do you want?" I ask as I start walking away but Damian's hand grips my wrist stopping me from walking any further and tuning back around to face him.
"Can I have this dance, please?" Damian asks.
I was about to say no but I then spot Adrian dancing with Jasmine. That asswhole! He rather dance with some slut then his "fiancé".
"Fine." I answer and Damian smiles before leading us to the dance floor.
He places his hands on either side f my waist and I place my arms on his shoulders.
"Now I know why you didn't want to get back with me." Damian states initiating a conversation. "Jane, I know I screwed up with you but trust me I've leaned my lesson. Jane I never stopped loving you."
"Damian, not only did you break my heart you also got me fired and it was hard for me to get another job!" I reply. "How do you expect me to forgive you after you yourself told me you didn't love me, that I was just another one of your little flings."
"I know and you don't know how much I regret it. Jane please give me another chance." Damian states as he caresses my cheek.
"Damian I can-"
"Jane, it's my turn to dance with you don't you think?" Adrian states saving me from another argument with Damian.
"Yeah." I respond as I move away from Damian and walk over to Adrian.
Damian moves out of the way with a frown on his face. Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran starts playing. Adrian places one hand on my waist and intertwined the other with my hand. I place my free hand on his shoulder before we start swaying to the music.
"Why were you talking to that guy?" Adrian asks a bit of anger in his voice which causes me to roll my eyes.
"Why were you to talking to that girl?" I ask as I point to Jasmine with my head.
"Touché." Adrian replies with a smile. "But one thing I am going to ask is how do you know Damian?"
I look away for a minute before I answer, "I used to work with him."
Adrian nods before spinning me around.
"I think it's time we gave this a crowd a little show." Adrian states.
Before I can ask what he meant by that he spins me around and dips me making me hold onto him for dear life. He leans down and connects our lips together before bringing me back up not once pulling away from the kiss. I wrap my arms around him as he pulls me closer and the crowd cheers. Well everyone except Damian, Angelica, and Jasmine.

COMPLETED"Seems to me," he whispered, his lips brushing her ear, "that you have two heartbeats." "Oh really?" Dakota raised a brow, unconsciously pressing her thighs together. Alessandro hummed in response, his green eyes dark with lust. His racing suit hung loosely over his hips, the skin tight fireproof showing off his rippling muscles. "One here," he began, pushing a lock of hair off her shoulder. He took her hand, pressing it against her chest. Her heart hammered against her rib cage as if it was threatening to jump out. "Would you like to know where the other one is, Dakota?" Her breath hitched at her name leaving his lips. He spun her around, the two falling back onto the couch that was against the wall. She held her breath as he took her hand again. Slowly, he led her hand down her stomach. Lower. Lower.-------------------------The roar of V6 engines. The whirring of wheel guns. The sweet taste of champagne. All things that made Alessandro's heart race. The thrill of racing on tracks at speeds one could only imagine.
