My smile plastered all over my face from the sight of my loved ones gathered once again here feasting to our heart's content. We're still in the backyard enjoying our family party and we will welcome Noche Buena together. It’s just priceless, I’m not going to trade my family for anything in this world no matter what. I’m so lucky to have them, we're not a perfect family as well but we have each other's back no matter what happens. Even though we're miles apart and we couldn't see each other very often we know if someone needs our help there's no hesitation at all and they will be there. “Dinner’s over it’s game time”. Alice announced eagerly at the table and everyone gets excited. “Woooh, this is what I’ve been waiting for. I will gonna win this year”. Sam screamed excitedly, last year he was the only loser for all the games we played. He’s sulking through the night and called us a cheater coz he couldn't win in any games and we just teased him throughout the night, being the younges

“Princess, I have a surprise for you”. Isaac whispered to my ears while we were still having fun, singing along with my family. “Hmm, what is it? I looked up at him waiting for his answer. "Guys, let's start the countdown". Sam cheered to all of us, but my attention is on Isaac still waiting for his answer. "Patient, princess let's do the countdown and look at the sky". Isaac whispered again with his signature smirk. We start our final countdown, with the happiness and joy where visible to one another. "10...09...08...07...06...05...04...03...02...01". After we finished our countdown I looked at the sky and different colors burst and shine beautifully. "Wow, amazing it's beautiful". I uttered happily with my eyes still fixed on the fireworks in the sky. "Yes, it is beautiful much more beautiful". Isaac said but when I looked at him he is not looking at the sky instead, he is staring at me with full of love. "Is this your surprise love? How did you do that? "Hmm, I made an arra

Bettany POV “I can’t still believe we’re going to Paris it is like I'm just dreaming”. I uttered still in shock when Isaac said that he have another surprise for me. We're in my bedroom at my parent's place. “You're not dreaming so believe it now princess, tonight we’re flying there. Ryle and Hannah are waiting for us”. Isaac said softly with his eyes full of affection. "Oh my god, this is the best Christmas I've ever had. I'm so excited to see both of them. I'm happy for Ryle and Hannah they're engaged now I can't wait to congratulate them in person. They deserve each other. Wait, I still need to pack my things if our flight is tonight. I need to prepare a gift for Hannah and Ryle as well. Why you didn't tell me sooner now I don't have time anymore". I said pouting only 5 hours remaining before we left for Paris and we were still in my parent's home. "Relax princess, I already arrange everything you needed. I asked Tamara's help to pack your things at your place and she agreed. If

It’s been four days since we came to Paris and four days without any proper rest, I am roaming around the City with Isaac and sometimes together with my best friend Ryle and Hannah. My body couldn't feel the tiredness when we were outside but after we come back to Isaac’s place I feel like my energy got drained to the point that I don’t want to move anymore. We’ve been to Louvre Museum a historic landmark in Paris, France. We also visited Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. We’ve been also to Musée d’Orsay another popular museum in Paris. Isaac and I enjoyed visiting places like museums, we love seeing the arts, it gives you the feeling of the artists when they did it. You can connect to their emotion and read all of it. “Princess, it’s our last day here before our flight to New York tomorrow, do you want to shop for some souvenirs? Isaac asked when we were having breakfast. We stayed at his place here in Paris and the moment I first saw i

“Princess”. he said and to my shock, he kneels on one knee in front of me. To my surprise, I froze in my seat and don't know what to do but I couldn't take my eyes off him. He holds my hand while he's still on one knee. "Princess, I'm a man with a broken past who escaped to his own world. Surrounded by the darkness and suddenly a beautiful woman who is smiling brightly piques my interest. I glimpse a light peeking into my dark world. The day you open the door when I knocked at yours, the darkness surrounding me started to crumble one by one and for the first time, you made me feel my heartbeat again. I thought to myself who's this girl, why she's affecting me this much? At first, I thought it was just a coincidence after I saw you at the restaurant and I'm still convincing myself but when I saw you at the company I started doubting myself once again. I think it's not just a coincidence anymore. Every time I saw your smile I felt very much alive and it says something more, each passin
