Mine (Cristiano Ronaldo Fanfic)

Chapter 23

Aria's POV-

I was sitting in front of the small mirror in our room. There was a beautiful aroma of lavender flowing in the room as Sam partially converted our room into spa. It was so calming and relaxing. No doubt people like to spend whole day into spa. I never really had the opportunity to visit such places. Since mom's health was never stable, I used to help her in shop after school and college. I never really had time to do all the fun stuff. I used to feel sad but never regretted it. I loved spending time with mom. We used to have fun discussions over random topics or just chit chat about my progress, occasionally helping the customers who stopped by. Those discussions over a mug of hot, streaming coffee were my favorite. I missed those days, as I hardly got time call her, let alone go and meet her.

My eyes were closed and Sam was doing something on my hair, occasionally brushing something on my face. This is life, I thought and unconsciously drift off to sleep. And later I was woken up by a furious Sam.

"So you weren't listening to me all this time? Are you kidding me." She said, her eyes were big and I thought her face was kinda red.

"Woha! Calm down tiger. I am sorry OK. I fell asleep and your constant chatting worked as a lullaby." I said. She just stood there, tapping her foot on the ground. And I took out my mobile to text mom.

"You know I am ignoring you right?" She said. "Yes I know. I said sorry. Ok fine....I'll treat you with dinner this weekend." I sighed. And her eyes lit up with happiness.

"Now that's what I called a good friend. Now come on, let's get you in the dress so I can do the final touch ups." She said and practically dragged me to bathroom. My dress was a beautiful cream colored gown. It was so beautiful that the first Sam and I laid our eyes on it, we knew it was the one.

After half an hour I was ready to go. It was almost 8 PM.

"Ok here is your purse. And make sure you keep me updated on each and every moment. Oh gosh and if you see Harry Styles or Selena Gomez please call me. I'll be there ASAP." Sam gave all the instruction for the 100th time.

"I know, I know. Let me go first." I laughed at her over enthusiasm. And I bid my goodbye.

Cristiano's POV-

Everything was set.  All arrangements were done. The atmosphere was warm and beautiful. The table was set in the middle of the small garden. Small lights hung from the pavement. Table was set for two. There was some kind of flower arrangement made by the decorator. Small breeze was flowing. I ordered the best wine. All her favorite food items were going to be there. James called me. I picked the phone.

"She is here bro. And I swear she is looking......" The line was cut and I heard muffled voices. And then Gareth's voice was on the line.

"Don't hear what the knucklehead is saying. See it yourself. We'll be going now. Good luck mate." He hung up. I chuckled at the extremely small conversation.

"Umm why there is no one for the opening?" Came a delicate voice from behind. I turned around and saw her. My heart skipped a beat. She was looking breathtakingly beautiful. Stunning as always. Her hair were set in a bun on the head. Loose strands were hanging artistically around her face. Her lips were a shade of red. Her eyes were looking amazing. And the dress was making her more beautiful. Some sparkly earrings hanging from her ears. That light make-up looked perfect on her.

"So beautiful." It came out involuntarily. She blinked at the statement. I could see her cheeks turning a shade of pink. She gave me her beautiful smile.

"I mean it. You are looking stunning." I repeated the statement. And stepped closer to look at the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, blushing under my gaze.

"There is no opening ceremony. I wanted to spend some time with you....and tell you something." I said. Where is this confidence coming from. I took her hand and gently placed a kiss on it, and led her to the table. She was looking confused but she looked so adorable. Waiter served us champagne. All my life I waited for a moment like this. Sure I dated a lot of women. But they were either interested in my looks, fame or money. No one tried to look past that thing. No one but her. My heart was beating fast. I was sure she was feeling it too. She was constantly trying to put that strand behind her ears. I decided to spill it out of me. I took a deep breath and said,

"Aria, there is something I've been trying to tell you. I know it's sudden and you'll probably think I am such lunatic to say such thing. But I want you to know....... That I like you so much. Yes I do. Since the very first day I saw you in that café. You were so adorable, I mean you are still adorable. You know what I mean right? Haha...so yeah I want to tell you how amazing you are. You bring peace in my life. Just your being there makes me feel relax. Whenever some problem comes up, I just close my eyes and your images come up. And somehow that solves everything. Every freaking problem." I saw tears were flowing from her eyes.

"You are special to me Aria. Special to my son. For my family. I like everything about you. I like how you like your coffee with extra milk, I like how your eyes twinkle when someone compliments you and I like those small crinkles around your eyes when you smile. That smile; I am in love with that smile. And I think..... I think I am falling in love with you. So I wanted to ask you that, would you like to be my girlfriend?" I asked her as I got on my knee. She let covered her mouth and let out a sob. Everything went in complete silence.

"I.....I can't. I can't do this." She said. "I'm sorry, I can't." She was crying and she got up, and ran away. Leaving me behind, with a broken heart. It started raining soon and even the rain couldn't hide the tears I cried.
