- Just shut up – He pulls me towards him.
He laughs silently and then brings us closer together. We dance to the music while looking at each other with a smile.
He sticks to my ear.
- Have I told you that you look beautiful?
I smile at him.
- Yes. You told me...
- Well then you look gorgeous and sexy - winks at me.
This time I'm the one laughing.
- You are terribly irritating and tender at the same time...
He looks at me with pride.
- You forgot to say handsome, imposing and a fucking good kisser
Once again I can't help but smile, until his hands press against me.
- And you Grace are completely and only mine, no one, listen to me well, no one but me can admire your unparalleled beauty...
I look at him seriously and then I dare to say:
- Good. Then Frank - I hold his cheek - if I am yours, you are mine and let it be very clear to you that I do not share what is mine...
Once again he shows that fucking smile. He brings his face closer with the intention of kissing me but just at that moment one of the waiters approaches Frank and whispers something in his ear. He nods and just like that the man leaves in a hurry.
The music stops in a matter of seconds capturing everyone's attention.
- Stay here Gracie... - he says and then he walks away from me.
He passes in the middle of the crowd, the women look at him cheekily while I roll my eyes in annoyance.
Frank climbs the steps to the stage, one of the musicians hands him a microphone.
- I hope you are having a good evening. I thank you all for your presence tonight. The party we are celebrating today is to welcome our new partner, Mr. Collier.
Everyone applauds with a smile.
- But, it also organizes this evening with a very special purpose. After so much time I have decided that it is time to formalize my relationship. To that end, Grace, honey... - extend your hand.
Everyone is stunned by what they just heard, including me.
The crowd looks at me without being able to believe it, it is then that I do not wait any longer and I walk towards the stage.
Frank helps me up the steps and then holds me by the waist to pick up the microphone again.
- My love, I never thought you would be the one, I never thought you would be the lady who would steal my heart. For that and many more reasons that if I told you I would never end, I have the honor to present to all of you the fiancée of the king of the mafia, now she is officially mine, now she is my queen, now she is the queen of this city...
Everyone applauds with joy and surprise at the same time.
Frank takes my hand and pulls out a small black box. When I open it my eyes open like they never had…
He slowly slides the ring along my finger, look at how beautiful it is and then look at Frank.
