My Emotionless Goddess

Justin led Miranda to their chairs. He pulled a chair for her like the gentleman he was. After she was settled, he then took a seat on his own chair. On the table was a cake in the shape of the heart and a glass of wine.

” Today is our day Mira, let’s enjoy and forget about all the troubles, just for tonight.” Justin said and Miranda nodded giving her approval.

” Come on, have a taste and tell me if you like it.” Justin encouraged her. The cake was inviting, making Miranda salivate. Taking her spoon, she scooped a little of the cake and ate it. She felt the cake melt in her mouth. It was soft and fluffy, just perfect.

” Mmm, it’s good.” She replied.

” Then eat more. I ordered an appetiser, the main course will be here soon.”

And true to his words, The main course arrived minutes later. Medium cooked steak with fried broccoli toppings. The two lovers savoured the delicious meal together, occasionally gazing and smiling at each other.

After the meal, the two started sipping their red wine. Steak was no steak without a cup of red wine to accompany it. They had a piece of chocolate cake cake for dessert. Even if Miranda never said it, Justin knew she had a sweet tooth and cakes were her favourite. So he made sure to order her favourites tonight, after all it was a special day for the two of them.

” Thanks for everything, I appreciate it.” Miranda said, extending her hand over the table and grasping Justin’s hand on the table.

” The night is still young, let’s have a dance.” Justin said standing up, their hands still joined together.

” But I don’t know how to dance.” Miranda complained and that’s The truth. While other girls were attending dance classes and music classes, Miranda was being trained with guns and knives and how to become the next Royal protector. Dancing was something alien in her world. After the death of her grandfather, she concentrated on running the company and had no time to catch up with whatever she had missed in her childhood, not like she was interested. She never thought a day like this would ever come, she’ll be embarrassed by her lack of dancing skills.

” No need to worry, I have got you covered. Just take my lead.” As much as he was disappointed, he didn’t show it. Being a prince had garnered him a lot of skills with the exception of fighting.

Taking her hand and placing it on his shoulder, he held her waist as they swayed to the music. At first, Miranda was very awkward and continuously stepped on his feet a bit as time moved on, she adjusted. She was a quick learner. One song, second song, the third song, they danced, comfortable in each other’s arms until Miranda complained of her feet hurting. Then the music stopped and Miranda took that as a cue to go and rest but just as she turned to go away, She heard the sound of fireworks. She wondered who could be lighting fireworks in the middle of summer but turned to look anyway and what she saw took her breath away for a minute.

” MIRANDA LAMBERT, WILL YOU MARRY ME”

Those were the words displayed by the firework. For a minute there, she doubted whether she was still sober. The alcohol may have messed up her mind. She had to pinch herself hard to confirm that she wasn’t dreaming then the realisation hit her, this was no dream. Justin was really proposing to her. If someone was to tell her two months ago that she’ll be getting a proposal, she’ll probably brush it off as a wild imagination but here she was, looking at the sky painted her name in capitals.

She then slowly turned to look at the Man standing behind her and was surprised yet again. Justin in all mighty was on one knee, holding a red velvet box which housed a beautiful but simple ring.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

” Miranda, I am not the Man to keeps wasting time. The moment I fell in love with you was the moment I made the decision to make you my wife. In this life, only you can be my wife and the mother of my children. I swear to love and protect you for as long as I live. I don’t have anything fancy to offer to you but I can promise you my unwavering and unconditional Love. I don’t know if forever exists but I promise you a forever together. So Mira will you grant me the honour of growing old by your side?”

At that moment, Miranda felt like Justin destroyed everything after mentioning children. That’s what she feared most. She didn’t think she could ever be a good mother to her children because she dreaded the Idea.

” What if I don’t want to have children?” Sfe opted to ask. She couldn’t promise him that anyways. Justin was taken aback by her question but soon figured out that maybe she was scared of having children but that was no problem. He would help her overcome that.

” It’s okay if you don’t want to have children, we can adopt a few of them.” He said meaningfully.

” That’s not it, I don’t think I can make a good and reliable mother for them. I don’t want to neglect them.” Miranda voiced her thoughts.

So that’s it? Justin clapped inwardly. He had thought for a moment there She was scared of the process of giving birth itself, now it turns out she was most scared of parenting.

” I can assure you that you will be the best Mommy in the world.” Justin consoled her but deep inside he was drafting ways to make her pregnant immediately.

It was until then he realised he was still kneeling and that his knees were getting numb. ” Am still waiting for your answer Miranda.”: Justin politely reminded her.

” Yes, I’ll MARRY YOU” she happily replied.

” Thanks alot sweetheart.” Justin said standing on his feet, slipping the ring on her ring finger and proceeded to seal the promise with a kiss. The kiss this time was long, passionate and demanding. It lasted for as long as they could hold in their breath.

After their kiss, Justin led Miranda to the door exiting the top floor. The night had been long but enjoyable but it was time to rest now. He then informed Miranda that they’ll Soon plan to visit their parents to which Miranda replied that she didn’t have any living members of her family. Justin still insisted that they visit their tombs so that he could pay his respect and ask for their hand in marriage. But who would have thought that that same day, he would uncover something he never knew about.

After they arrived at the house, they bid each other goodbye. Despite being Lovers, the two never shared a room. They both slept in different rooms. Justin wanted to take things slow so he did not push her to move in with him, nevertheless, he would occasionally sneak to her room and spend the night with her. She never complained nor kicked him out so he assumed it was fine with her. He would have loved to sleep by her side tonight but he knew he had to inform his father about the engagement before he heard it from someone else.

Justin took a bath and sent a message to his father requesting for a video call. In no time, his father called him back. Justin was so excited to tell his father that finally he had found his better half. The two might not be exceptionally close but they shared everything about their life. To Justin his father was a buddy more than a dad.
