《The Billionaire's Proposal》Birthday Party Catastrophe (Part II)

"Well I guess that it wasn't Damon we were supposed to be worried about." I state as we walk into the mansion.
Adrian runs a hand over his face and replies, "You should go rest. If you need anything I'll be in my study."
I nod and make my way towards my room. With a tired sigh I take off the beautiful dress off and lay it on one of the mini couches. Before I can take off my make up my phone starts vibrating.
I turn off my phone and let out a deep sigh. I check the time on my phone and it marked . It was still open so we still had time. As I make up my mind I walk towards my closet and take out a simple cream colored floral dress. I put on a pair of open toe pumps that matched the dress before brushing my curly waves and walking out the door. I knock on the dark brown polished wooden door before I could coward out.
"Come in." His muffled voice states and I slowly turn the knob. Adrian looks up from his laptop and his gaze runs over my body. "Y-You look nice. Where are you going?"
"You mean where are WE going." Adrian stared at me with knitted eyebrows and I sigh. "I felt bad that you had to end your birthday on such a bad note so I've decided to take you to one of favorite restaurants in town."
"Jane, you really don't have t-"
"I want to." I state repeating his words. "Think of it as my birthday present to you."
"Fine," He sighs in defeat causing a triumphant smile to form on my face.
"Great! But you may want to dress in something more casual." I point to his tux and he smiles.

"Wait, for me downstairs." Adrian answers. "Unless you want me to change in front of you which is fine by me."
My cheeks turn a light shade of red and I immediately head for the door. As the door shuts behind me I could hear him chuckle. What an asswhole! "He might be an asswhole but you like him." I roll my eyes at my inner self and make my way downstairs. As I descend the stairs David seems surprised.
"Should I start up the car?" He asks.
"It's okay David, you go home and rest." Adrian states from behind me causing me to jump. Woah, he changes fast.
David nods before heading out the door. I look over at Adrian who was dressed in a pair of blue jeans, grayish greenish t-shirt, and brown jacket. He looked handsome, even more handsome than usual.
"Is this casual enough?" He asks as he catches me staring which only causes his smirk to grow.
"Yeah," I reply as I turn around and start heading out the door. Adrian interlocked our hands which caught me by surprise as he led us to the garage.
My jaw dropped as I stared at the various sports cars inside the garage.
"Which one would you like to ride today?" Adrian asks turning his attention to me.
"How about the black Bugatti Chiron?" I answer as I point to the black vehicle. Adrian stared at me surprised and I just shrug. "Sebastian has had an obsession with sport cars so I was forced to listen to his car talk."
Adrian nods and replies, "Bugatti Chiron it's is then."
We walk to the car and Adrian opens the door for me before getting into the drivers seat. We strap our seat belts on before Adrian turns and asks, "Where exactly are we going?"

I type in the direction to the place into the GPA and the directions immediately pop up. Adrian starts the car and it roars to life before we pull out of the mansion.
* * *
The car comes to a stop in front of the four story building and I cheerfully walk out.
"Welcome to La Guayaba!" I beam as I stand in front of the building.
"La Guayaba?" Adrian asks confused.
"Yup, its only the best restaurant in all of Miami!" I reply with a grin.
"If you say it's the best then I'll believe you." He answers as we walk into the Spanish restaurant.
"Jane, it's nice to see you." Pedro, the son of the manager of this place states.
"Hola," I reply. "Can I get a table for two?"
"Porsupuesto! Come right this way." He leads us to our table and places our menu in front of us. "Jane, would you like the usual?"
I nod and Pedro begins writing my order before turning to Adrian, "How about you? What may I get you today?"
"Um...Jane what do you recommend?" Adrian asks.
"The shrimp soup here is to die for." I answer and Adrian nods.
"I'll take the shrimp soup." He states as he hands his menu to Pedro.
"I'll have your order ready asap. Meanwhile I hope you enjoy your appetizer." Pedro replies before walking back into the building.
"Well this is different." Adrian states as he looks around at the outdoor restaurant. Lights decorated the night sky roof and a fountain was place near us.
"Do you like it?" I ask nervously as I chew my bottom lip.
Adrian places his hand over mine and answers, "I love it. Best birthday present anyone could give me."
He smiles down at me and I return the gesture.
"Alright, how about we start of the night with some bachata?" The DJ asks and everyone cheers. Cancioncitas De Amor by Romeo Santos starts playing.
"Come, this is my favorite song." I state as I pull Adrian with me to the dance floor.
"I hate to break it to you but I don't know how to dance bachata." I let out a small laugh as Adrian tried pronouncing the Spanish word.
"It's easy, I'll show you." I respond. I instruct Adrian were to place his hands and what the three steps were. "See, easy?"
"Hey, I am getting the hang of this." Adrian replies, happy with himself.
"I told you it was easy didn't I?" I giggle as Adrian nods and spins me around as we move to the latin rhythm.
* * *
Adrian and I exit the restaurant laughing at how much fun we had. Everything was perfect until a swarm of reporters surrounded us.
"Is what your brother said true?" A reporter yelled.
"Is your relationship just an agreement?" Another one asked as they shoved their cameras at us. Adrian brought me closer to me protecting me from the aggressive reporters.
"Nothing that Daniel said is true," Adrian announces. "Jane and I love each other, and we WILL be getting married. I love Jane with all my heart."
Although his words were just meant to hide the truth they still made my heart leap.
Adrian cupped my face with his hands and stated, "I love you, Jane."
Before I could react his lips were on mine and I naturally wrapped my arms around his neck letting my hands explore his brown locks. If the reporters hadn't been there the moment would have been just perfect.
