CHAPTER nineteenth
LOGAN'S POV
Jamie or as the public know her, Leah, and I will be making our first appearance on the red carpet as a couple, of our summer fashion line.
Jamie has grown into a confident self assured woman and I'm proud to have her as my girlfriend, for now.
"Logan's here" Jessy shouts as she opens the door for Justin and I.
Jessy looks beautiful in the red and silver mermaid cut dress gown that I designed for her, completed with silver accessories.
Jerome walked out in his white tux as he will be escorting one of the models with whom he has been getting close to, but seeing that he will be in college for the next four years I don't see it lasting.
Jerome is giving up a scholarship to his dream college so that he can stay with his sisters. I hope to change that tonight.
"Jamie" Jess shouted again, before I could reprimand her, my girl walks down the stairs in a pearl white strapless silk gown that hugs her curves from her breast to her hips flowing lightly to the floor.
Holding the railing, she walks slowly, like my bride walking towards me. Unable to wait or not wanting to wait any longer, Nudging Justin, I put my hand in my pocket, pulling out the small box, without anyone watching me. I held the solitaire diamond ring set in an eternity band and walk towards her before she stepped off the last step.
Holding out my hand, she reaches out to hold mines.
"You're stunning" I said staring into the gray eyes that have kept me captive since I first saw her.
She smiles. shyly ,
Sweating, here goes nothing I thought nervously, Kneeling down in front of her as her eyes widen in shock. I heard Jess gasp, Jer chuckling.
"Jamie Leah Scott, I know that we have only known each other for six months. but in the past six months I've come to realize that you bring out the best of me.
I fell in love with you instantly and have grown to love you more each day. I want to spend this life with you and every life here after.
Would you marry me and make everyday after today, better than it was the day before," I asked nervously. thinking if any of my opposing councils see me now, they would see my weakness.
Raising my eyebrows, waiting on her.
Nodding, "Yes, yes, of course and a billion times yes" with tears streaming down her face. I stood up putting the ring on her finger which she haven't look at yet, as she hugs me to the delight of the 'J's' as she calls them.
The 'J's' run in for s group hug.
After an emotional half and hour of toasting and congratulations, the girls redid their make-up while the guys waited. I've never felt this light and happy before.
"Your parents are going to be thrilled" Justin says.
"You think" I ask him, knowing that they will be happy because they both already love Jamie like their own and already has plans for her at Francis Fashion.
Fifteen minutes later we arrived at the Plaza, where the show was taking place.
Jamie and I walked the carpets many times and tonight is no different. So far no one saw the ring she kept hidden and I said nothing, wanting her to ready on her own. The main thing is that she said yes!
Cameras flashed on us, reporters asking questions mostly to me because they considered Jamie an unknown. Knowing the reporters support us at times, I've learnt to be tolerant.
Just before Jamie and I made it inside, I was accosted and practically pulled from Jamie by a former model whom I used to walk the carpets with, to please my parents.
"Logan, it's been to long, Amy said hugging me, as she poses for the cameras that were eating it up.
My fiancé, stood on the sidelines waiting on me. Gently untangling myself from Amy, I started to walk away, " come, my parents want to meet you";Amy says tugging me.
Her parents Mr. and Mrs. Jacks, walked up to us,
" Logan " how lovely to see you again " Mrs Jack's greeted me.
Untangling myself from Amy to hug her mother, I motion for Jamie to join me.
As Jamie came near, I pulled her to my side, much to the annoyance of Amy and her mother.
"Excuse me" Mrs Jack's said, trying to come between Jamie and I.
I held Jamie tightly to my side, I'm announcing our engagement tonight " i told her.
My security came to speak quietly to Jamie and I. "We have to go" I told the Jack's, walking away with the security, while I held Jamie's hand.
"What the f**k was that" Justin came up to me. because he's the one who sent the security to the rescue.
" Thanks for the rescue man" I told Justin as he walks with us to where my mother and father were seated.
The showcase would be starting soon. I approach my parents whose eyes were on Jaime and mine entwined hands.
Jamie squeezed my hands tightly, while my parents were smiling ear to ear.
Dad brought my mom closer and as she reached Jamie my mom wrapped her arms around Jamie, with flashbulbs exploding inside the venue.
Hugging me, *She said yes"I whisper to my mom". She kissed my cheek
" I'm announcing it tonight " my mom said, with my dad hugging Jamie and I.
After another successful show, champagne started flowing like water, when Jess came and took Jamie to the washroom with her. I sent a security with them.
The Jack's approach me again.
"When will you pop the question to my daughter" Mrs Jack's asked.
Frowning, "I'm sorry. What?" I asked confused because Amy and I were never anything.
"You and Amy, you look perfect together and my daughter express her desire to marry you. if you can't make up your mind, I'll speak to your parents" Mrs Jack's walked off angrily.
Ignoring the Jack's I looked around until I saw Jamie and Jessy walking back, escorted by the security.
When Jamie reached my side, placing my arm around her shoulder, kissing her lightly on her lips.
'I love you" I say.
"And I love you" Jamie tells me
Hearing the sound system go on, I look to see my parents on the stage, with a smiling Amy and her parents, standing on the side.
"Goodnight friends. The Francis Fashion family would like to thank each and everyone of you for your continual support.
There was a round of applause.
Tonight our son. Logan, who already has so titles behind his name, is about to add another one behind his name. Husband" my dad says to another round of applause.
With my eyes on the Jack's , my dad continues. "Tonight join my wife and I in congratulating my son, Logan Daniels and his brand new fiancé and our future daughter, Jamie Leah Scotts" my dad welcomes us to the stage, as the applause continue, with the added sounds of whistles
As we stepped on the stage, to the outrage of the Jack's. I lifted Jamie's hand showing off the ring, to another round of applause as cameras flashes became blinding.
My father had more champagne distributed to make a grand toast.
"To Logan and Jamie and a future of joy and happiness and babies!" my father shouted.
As the applause continue, making our way down the steps, the congratulations continued.
Reporters starting asking questions,
'So did you fall in love while escorting Jamie to functions " a reporter ask me.
"No, I fell in love before we started working together." I said
"Do you love him" the reporter ask Jamie.
Smiling happily,"yes he's perfect"
