592 Halo & Pretty Wings
Xiu heard the loud sound of the propellors and said to Darren, "Your best friend is going overboard but only for today, I'm willing to overlook." Even though she thought the expenses for one proposal had gone over her stingy budget list, she was gonna overlook. It wasn't her money but she still felt painful about wasting it like this.
Darren laughed at her heartily before saying, "Then I should really reward my wife for having self-control over her temper for my best friend's sake."
Xiu shrugged her shoulders, "It isn't for his sake. It's just that I don't want to ruin this mont for him." She took a brief pause before adding, "But I will collect that reward of mine happily."
Darren pressed his lips together before saying, "Aww... Such an angel you are."
Xiu rolled her eyes before saying, "Dear hubby, your wife isn't an angel! I'm a demon but with a big halo and pretty wings." She winked at him cheekily as she asked, "I'll see you at ho. Bye!"
Darren couldn't help shaking his head at her description. But he didn't find any flaws with it either. She was indeed a demon who just happened to have a big halo that made people love her.
anwhile, Xiu gathered her emotions and walked up to the big piano that had already been placed at the side. It wasn't that close to the canopy decorated with sheer white cloth and fairy lights that gave it a dreamy feel. But the piano wasn't that far either. Either way, it's direction was set in a way that the person playing the piano couldn't be seen from the dinner table.
When Dylan led Cali towards the dinner table, she couldn't help raising her brows in surprise. Until now, Dylan hadn't been doing anything particularly romantic. He had been very subtle with each date but this one was exaggerated and even she could tell that sothing was special about it.
"You prepared this all for ?" she asked as she stepped on the flowery path lined with candles that led to the dinner table.
Dylan cleared his throat as he spoke dryly, "You're not even impressed."
Xiu who heard the grumpiness in his voice couldn't help snickering but slapped her hand over her mouth. She already knew that Cali wasn't soone who would get touched deeply with this romantic set up. She ca from a very affluent family and must have seen such affairs all her life, was there really sothing unique about it. But she didn't roll her eyes because she knew Dylan's trump card, in other words, Xiu was the unique part of this proposal.
On the side, Cali had also sensed that she said sothing she shouldn't have and tried to salvage the situation by saying, "I an to say that I really like this."
Bringing her to the heart created with roses and candles, he took her hands in his own and took a deep breath before saying, "Actually, I think you've already noticed that sothing is different about this date." Cali nodded her head carefully observing his expressions. "It's really a special date because I have sothing to tell you." Cali's heart thudded in her chest violently and she had to use all her willpower to keep herself from having any wayward thought.
Dylan turned his head and took a huge bouquet of white roses from an attendant who had been in the shadows. He held it and clicked his fingers. That was a signal but...
"Try harder, I can't hear you," Xiu was muttering to herself even though she knew it was her cue to start playing the piano. Knowing that Xiu was being intentional, Dylan clicked his fingers again. Deciding not to ss around anymore, Xiu placed her hands over the keyboard as a soft lody fleeted around in the air.
Cali turned her head and only noticed the piano now but just then a very familiar, but slightly raspy voice entered her brain and set her heart ablaze...
?Blue ocean, yellow flickering candlelight
I adorned this path with roses that are white
Starlit night but it's rather dark
I lost my heart to your little spark
When I look into those beautiful eyes,
They always take by surprise
And I feel like losing a battle
It brings the feelings I don't dare to deny
I must be going crazy but
All I have to say is, I love you
All I can ever say is, I need you
And I need you more
I left love in a hopeless place
I hid my tears and feelings in a dark space
Then you walked through an open door
And the light you brought made my heart soar
I heard love can often go to waste
So feelings can never be replaced
But your love lit a fla to guide ho
And I found the ho in your heart that I have been looking for
It's feelings I can't deny cause
All I have to say is, I love you
All I can say is, I an it from the bottom of my heart
Blue ocean, yellow flickering candlelights
I hope to make the stars to bear witness of tonight
You and , our everlasting feelings like a dynamite?
As he held the bouquet up for her, his eyes were sparkling but all she could see was her own reflection in his clear eyes. There was no guise, no impurity. All she saw was his feelings as clear as those white roses in his hands; unblemished, pure, and beautiful.
