Romance: My Italian Prince, Undercover Love: Sweet Romantic Comedy (14 page)

Alex voice suddenly became all wobbly with emotions and Vanessa reached for his hand and clasped it tight.

“I’m not angry at you Alex. But I am at myself for not trusting you.”

Alex's hand clasped her back, his hand felt warm and firm and felt like it was anchoring her. She never wanted to let it go again. For a moment they didn’t say anything, just looked into each other's eyes. Without warning tears watered her eyes, she had longed for this moment ever since she left him. How she regretted not trusting him.

“Can you ever forgive me for not trusting you?” She asked with her voice unsteady due to the lump in her throat, and Alex swept her into his arms.

“Come here,” he said against her wet cheek. “Of course I forgive you, I love you.”

“I love you too,” Vanessa managed to say in between sobs.

Meanwhile, Raffi had managed to find them all a limousine and Mitch had arranged for a plane to stand ready at the airport to take them back to New York. He missed his yoga lessons and he and Kat had already made plans to start up their own yoga studio where he would be the master of soul searching in between his film sessions, or something odd like that. He had explained it all in an ecstatic voice in the limousine, where they now sat all four of them. Vanessa and Alex close together on one side and opposite them Kat and Mitch sat with their arms and legs around each other’s.

“What are you two going to do in NY?” Kat asked Alex and Vanessa.

Vanessa who still held Alex hand in a tight grip didn’t know what their plans were. She was just happy as long as they were together.

“I’m going to visit Vanessa's parents,” Alex said as if it was something they had planned for ages.

Vanessa looked at him in surprise,
where was this coming from?
Alex turned so he faced her completely and took both of her hands in his.

“Since we have already been introduced as Husband and Wife by these two maniacs,” he nodded towards Kat and Mitch who didn’t listen anymore, too busy making out.

“I would like to ask you, Vanessa, would you be my wife?”

To say that she was in shock was quite the understatement but somehow she managed to gather herself and with tears of joy streaming down her face, she kissed him.

“Yes, yes” She mumbled in between kisses.

“Okay, that's sweet and all, but I feel a bit awkward right now,” a strained voice from the backseat interrupted them.

“Raffi? I didn’t know you were back there,” Alex said in surprise. Don’t sit back there sulking. Get in front and find us some champagne in that mini-bar.” Alex said to Raffi with laughter in his voice. Raffi did as he was told and climbed over the seats and ended up next to Mitch and Kat, and grabbed a bottle of champagne.

“Cheers for us!” Alex toasted and kissed Vanessa. “Cheers to my beautiful bride to be.”

Vanessa laughed and kissed him back.

This was amazing! She would marry Alex, she would marry a prince! Oh God, what would her parents say, and Aunt Steffie and Uncle Marty? What if they would suggest for the wedding to be held in her parent’s backyard in Queens. Oh no, she felt sure they would.

Would she be a princess now? How did one plan a royal wedding? Thoughts circulated in her brain in top speed.
No, Vanessa, stop now. Take it easy. It will all work out smoothly
, she told herself.

For now I will just enjoy being engaged to My Italian Prince
, she thought and felt that she was the happiest she had ever been.
