  "Yes?"
  
  "Get up, no training today and you have a hair appointment after breakfast"
  
  "Be down now"
  
  "Ha as if I'm leaving you up here with him. Get downstairs now"
  
  I growl annoyed as Carter chuckles, kissing my lips one more time before we get up and get ready. We start the day with a family breakfast then quick showers before the stylist comes to cut both mine and mum's hair. 
  
  I cry as she butchers my hair lump by lump. I know it's stupid but it spent a lot of time with that damn hair and I was sad it was leaving my head. In the end it was still down to my butt but it was cut into more flattering layers and styled in loose curls for the party. 
  
  By the time that's done it's lunchtime and by the time I had finished running a few errands it was time to get ready and leave. I don't bother with the foundation and just do a light baby blue smokey eye to match my golden ones. I add just a little nude lip and matching blusher and finish the look with just a bit of eyebrow gel and mascara. 
  
  I wear a baby blue strapless sweetheart neckline ball gown. It's corseted at the top and it flows to the floor pulling in my waist and making my boobs look a little bigger than normal. The thick satin material makes it look luxurious and expensive. It's not too wide at the bottom but it gives me a comfortable amount so I won't be tripping on it all day. 
  
  My hair is curled loosely and the front of it is pulled back and pinned, secured with my small golden crown on my head. As for my feet I decided on blue converse because I hated heels and I wanted to be comfortable instead of killing my toes for no good reason. I had been wearing my wedding shoes every day for at least a few hours and they still felt like they were made specifically to murder my little toe. I shiver at the memory and make my way downstairs. 
  
  Carter's eyes light up as he watches me walk down he runs to the bottom step swallowing deeply
  
  "You look so beautiful"
  
  I smile at him stopping a few steps up so we are eye level. He grabs me, pulling me into his arms as he kisses my lips swinging me around. 
  
  "Damn you take my breath away"
  
  He whispers kissing my lips again then he sets me on my feet. He was dressed in a navy blue fitted suit, he wore a white shirt and a skinny tie that matched my dress. On his feet he wore black dress shoes. 
  
  "You look so handsome and so tall, did you grow more or something? Jezz im going to spend the rest of my life with a creak in my neck"
  
  He snorts lifting me up again
  
  "Not if I just carry you around like this all day"
  
  He smirks at me before kissing my lips again and setting me on my feet again. He looks to the stairs as dads come down then he sets me on my feet as they grin at me
  
  "You look good baby"
  
  "Incredible actually"
  
  They both kiss a cheek each as mum emerges from the top of the staircase, she looked incredible and not a day over 21. We stop aging at 25 and we live for forever but mum looks younger but her big brown eyes hold so much wisdom you just know she's older than she looks. Her brown hair was pulled into a beautiful updo with a few curly ringlets of curls falling down here and there
  
  She wore the same coloured dress as me only hers had a see through bodice, covering all her bits and it fell to the floor in layers of soft tulle. She looked so beautiful and I grin when I see she wore the same shoes as me. Dads basically hop on the spot when they see her, so much love and adoration on their faces. 
  
  "Mum you look amazing"
  
  Carter tells her
  
  "Yes incredible mum"
  
  She grins at me as scott runs to grab her but jaxon pulls him back and skips in front of him and he scoops her up. Scott growls
  
  "Give her over its my turn"
  
  "No it's not it's mine now go away"
  
  Mum mumbles something pinching the bridge of her nose
  
  "Jaxon it is so my turn you got her in bed so it's my turn"
  
  "And you got her in the shower now go away"
  
  Jaxon puts his foot out trying to sho Scott away but Scott grabs his foot
  
  "Put her down I don't want to hurt her when I put you on your ass"
  
  "Give me my foot back Scott"
  
  "Why what are you going to do about it? Put her down"
  
  He shakes his foot as dad hops on the spot growling 
  
  "That's enough we are going to a party and you're meant to be the royal family and you're acting like toddlers. Jaxon kiss me and put me down, Scott drop his foot then you get to hug me and kiss me then you will put me back on my feet understand"
  
  She scolds with her finger out, they are so entertaining but damn it must be annoying to share. I turn back to Carter who's grinning at me. Then he steps back to look at me chewing his bottom lip 
  
  "What?"
  
  "Well I have something for you, I was meant to wait and give it to you this weekend but I think it might complete this look"
  
  I grin excitedly, I love presents 
  
  "Oh yes it definitely will, go get it, Scott get the phone"
  
  "Why what is it"
  
  Mum slaps him around the back of his head
  
  "If I told you it would ruin the surprise now do as your told and start recording"
  
  She snaps making me giggle as Carter takes off up the stairs 
  
  "Awch, so uncalled for"
  
  "Scott, do as you're told before I do it again!"
  
  He huffs pulling out his phone mocking her and she growls at him, his eyes widened silencing him on the spot. I snort as he presses record and mum silently laughs at his fear. Carter comes back down the stairs with a huge grin on his face standing in front of me. 
  
  "So I know this should have been done a long time ago but I designed this myself and it took a while for it to arrive."
  
  He shakes himself a little looking at mum and she gives him a reassuring smile then he looks back at me taking my hands in his. 
  
  "Carly words can't describe how much I love you, how much you mean to me. There are no words to describe that, and there never will be. There are only actions so I made this for you so you will always remember that. Remember that words can't describe what we have, but that doesn't mean I will try every day for the rest of my life to find those words. I will spend every day trying to make you smile, to show you that I love you, that I appreciate you and adore everything about you. You are my Carly and I wanted to know"
  
  My heart thumps in my chest painfully as He gets down on one knee. I gasp as tears brim at my eyes as he pulls out a box
  
  "Carly Cleo Mc Gregor, will you marry me and be mine, for forever?"
  
  He opens the box and I can't stop the tears. It was a white gold band completely encrusted with 2 lines of large, high quality, round, white diamonds the entire way around with a huge circular diamond in the middle. It was huge and it took my breath away. I'd never seen anything like it before and it blew me away. 
  
  "Yes, yes Carter I will"
  
  I hold out my hand and chuckle when I realise I'm trembling. He grins, pushing it on. It fits perfectly and it looks even bigger on my hand. He kisses me grinning from ear to ear wiping tears from my face. 
  
  "You designed this?"
  
  I ask him completely choked up with emotions
  
  "Yes, do you like it?"
  
  "I love it so much, it's incredible. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen"
  
  And I meant it. I could spend all day looking at it and the way it sparkles in the light. I look to my parents giddy with excitement and dads look just as shocked as me
  
  "You didn't tell me he was making her a ring"
  
  They ask her, coming over to me and pulling my hand up to inspect it. I swear if they had glasses they would be pushing them up their noses and inspecting the diamonds for any flaws.
  
  "I know, he made a pact with me so I couldn't tell but isn't it beautiful"
  
  "Damn boy you did good!"
  
  Scott tells him pulling him into a headlock and hitting his shoulder with a huge grin on his face.
  
  "It's amazing"
  
  I can't stop looking at it. I'm so enchanted by its beauty. And I get to wear it everyday for the rest of my life. I hop on the spot
