Chapter 1: Pastas and proposal
Roman proposed to Emery in her shed, where they first met, where she saved his life, where they had made love for the first time. After all they've been through – defeating the Trags and the Red Hawks, convincing the Atrians that Roman would still be a devoting Iksen and finding their way back to each other – he thought it was a good way to end their trouble. He had prepared two bowls of cold pastas and he had hung the star she made for him on arrival day. He hardly convinced Emery to be blindfolded because his girlfriend was really skeptical about it. He lead her into the shed, Emery was staggering a little. When she saw the little table Roman set up with the bowls of pastas and the star, she couldn't help but smiling. It was absolutely adorable.
"What it is for?" she asked, facing him and leaning for a soft sweet kiss.
"Do I need a reason?" Roman answered then he kissed her.
He was feeling more and more nervous about what he was about to do. Not that he had doubts; he knew Emery was the one for him. Still, what if she says no? They both sat at the table and started to eat their pastas. Emery teased Roman about his cooking skills and they discussed about everything and nothing. When they finished their delicious meals, Roman took Emery's hand in his own and started talking:
"Emery, I have to tell you something. I love you Emery but you already know that and pretty much everyone in America humans and Atrians knows that…" Emery laughed quietly, it had been hard at first when she had realized what it would be like to be with Roman. But it was worth it; everything was worth it.
The young man's voice was trembling a little bit.
"And yet, this isn't enough for me… Even though everybody knows that we entirely belong to each other… I just want them to know that I'm yours, forever."
"Roman…" Emery was beginning to understand what was going on and she was about to panic. Could it be…?
"Emery Whitehill," Roman was looking at her with all the love of the world in his eyes, he had no doubt, not at all. He took from his pocket the little box he had carried with him all the time for almost three weeks now. "Will you make me the happiest, luckiest man… or alien on earth by becoming my wife?"
Emery was struggling to catch her breath. She felt tears running through her cheeks, but at the same time she was beaming with joy. She wanted to answer except that she had a lump in her throat so she simply nodded several times before she was able to whisper a little "Yes".
"Yes," Roman repeated like he couldn't believe it. He was grinning, he put the ring on his now fiancée's finger. Emery pulled Roman into a hug. It felt so right, so safe in his arms. Her scent was sweet in Roman's nose, with all his Atrian senses, he could feel every inch of her. He could feel her heart beating so fast in her chest, her blood rushing through her veins and though he knew that she was his, in that very moment Roman wanted her even closer. So he kissed her passionately, and Emery responded to the kiss. They laid on the floor which was covered by a blanket. Emery put her hand under Roman's shirt as the young man was slowly kissing every inch of her skin from her neck to her earlobe. Emery groaned softly while Roman was now leaning toward her breast.
As she was once again getting off her clothes in her parent's shed, kissing with avidity the boy she loved, Emery knew she was home.
A few moments later, Emery's naked body was tangled with Roman's. A warm ray of sunshine was lightening their skin. Roman was slowly caressing Emery's auburn hair like he had never seen something so lovely, and he hadn't actually. The young girl's eyes were glowing, she was happy.
"What are you thinking about?" Roman asked, seeing she was thoughtful.
"I was just remembering the first time we met," she confessed. "I would have never imagined that we would end up like this!"
Roman chuckled, "Me neither. It's one of my favorite memory on Earth."
"Really?" Emery asked him gently. "What are the others?"
"Well let's see," Roman said, "I was bleeding out to death and got saved by the most gorgeous girl I had ever seen." He revealed.
"It seems that you have a lot of memory in this shed," Emery smiled.
"Who said it was here?" Roman teased her. They both laughed softly.
"Mmm," Emery started but she didn't say anything else.
"Mmm?" Roman repeated questioningly.
"I was just thinking that our story started on arrival day," she explained. "I mean, it is the day we met and ten years later you told the world you wanted to be with me..."
"So?" Roman asked.
"So I was thinking maybe it would be a good date for a wedding," Emery blushed. It felt ridiculous saying that so soon. They have been engaged for less than two hours and she was already talking about setting a date! What was wrong with her?
"Forget that," she said. "It's stupid…"
"No it's not," Roman answered. "Actually, I've thought about it too." He admitted, feeling his cheeks flushing. This was very sappy.
"So does that mean that we really have a date?" Emery seemed to not believe what she was saying.
"I think so…" Roman nodded. "We're getting married on Arrival Day!"
"You realized that's only eight months from now?"
"I know," the young man smiled. "Which means we should start by telling our friends."
He stood and put his clothes back on for Emery's disappointment. She would have enjoyed stay there a little longer. But eventually she sighed and got dressed as well. She took the hand Roman was giving her. He tenderly kissed her knuckles and her engagement ring. She smiled and then leaned to kiss him slightly. They walked out the shed together, impatient to tell everyone the good news.
So that was the first chapter, what did you think? :D
