Chapter fourty

Europe

Jakes said "so you and my sister are friends now?"

Laura said "No, we just trying to get along still early days for that."

Jakes said "thank you for talking to her, whatever you said to her, made her see the light."

Laura said "just told her not to mess with my man."

Jakes said "well your man is glad you did that."

Laura said "so, we are here for a month, staying in hotels for a month that's spending too much money."

Jakes said "relax, babe you will love everything here and what I have in store for you."

Laura said "surprises, I'm dying to know already."

* Jakes booked two separate rooms, 2 weeks in Belgium was great, touring the place and decided to go to Italy. Where the big surprise was. *

Laura said "can this get any better, I am in Italy just unbelievable, and this feels like we are in our honeymoon."

Jakes said "I'm glad you're happy just imagine how our honeymoon will be like, only the best for my Queen."

He was treated Laura like a Queen, treated her like his wife and things were great could only get better. Having this kind of foundation and love getting married and living together would be easy right jakes thought. Cinque Terre Italy the place is paradise, romantic and everything here was breathe taking, magical. Laura story started to sound like she was in a fairy tale, jakes was her prince charming and she was like Cinderella. They were hiking yes Laura was so nervous because of her fears but Jakes was there holding her hand and reach on top of the mountain, Jakes was excited and nervous.

Thinking about Forever

(Just wondering if you are thinking about me babe)

Jakes said "we are here."

Laura said "I never thought I will be hiking one day, standing on top of this mountain so filled with so much joy and I can't explain or thank you enough for this. You're incredible I love everything about you, I used to hate going to the beach while I was there the sun heating my face and being barefoot. The waves this is life and this what it means to live and being free. I'm so in love with you Jakes Smith. "

Jakes said "I love you too, I was thinking about what I am going to say and how to say it. How am I going to top what you just said babe."

Laura said "laughing out loud, not competition babe."

Jakes said "Thinking about waking up next to you, spending my life with you and you being the mother of my kids, you being my wife. Just thinking about forever do you think about me Laura about our forever, If you are, do you want to keep thinking about us forever, you & I forever. so will you marry me Laura Black?"

Laura said "oh my, yes I do I love you babe."

Jakes said "never been this happy in my life, standing on top of this mountain, anything is possible when you believe and I will conquer the world with you love."

Laura said "I can't believe this, it is so beautiful and fits perfectly you put a lot into this darling."

Jakes said "I'm just happy everything went well and so perfectly, you are perfect."

Laura said "you went on and on, in my mind I was like please just say it pop the question already."

Jakes said "I had this speech prepared and then I just spoke from the heart."

Laura said "Inspired by Thinking about you song I know the song love it, we are getting married and I will always be thinking about you love."

It was a romantic place to be, everything was fantastic the food, the sea and the mountains. They spent time hiking, going to different places in Italy, eating amazing food and reading books while in the beach they meet a stranger.

Jakes said "last day here we had so much fun, it was great."

Laura said "it was awesome going back home with this rock here, just in two days its new year and just feel like we skipped Christmas being not there home with family."

Jakes said "my father has been calling me like crazy, your sister is here we should have spent the holidays together and it is not like she is going anywhere."

Laura said "he is right but I'm not complaining about any of this here it's magical we can stay here forever."

The stranger said "the sun is out you're reading the wait book and how I wish all these young people will do that."

Laura introducing herself and jakes, I'm Laura and this is my fiancé,

The stranger said "I know, just want to tell you that when you believe all things are possible, you will have two girls and God has always been there he hears our prayers just because we face hard time doesn't mean he is not there. The pain you went through will make sense one day."

Laura looking at jakes, what on earth she is on about.

She went on to say this is a message gave them 2 scriptures

"For the lord your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you."

Deuteronomy 15: 6

"you may say to yourself, 'my power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me, but remember the Lord your God , for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today."

Deuteronomy 8 verse 17-18

Be well, and take heart she went away.

It was strange for them for such things to happen, Laura thought you will meet angels talk to them if you're only Christian she didn't realise they were called and destiny for greater things in life. As for jakes he was so excited full of joy. Well, you should know by now that he is full of surprises. You think you have him all figured out then this.

Jakes said "what just happened, the last time I went to church was when my Mother passed away."

Laura said "her presence was something else, can't explain it."

Jakes said "angel, our first encounter with an angel how bless we are."

Laura said "I didn't know you believe that deeply about it, we talked about spiritual life, God and church just didn't think you are religious."

Jakes said "I'm not religious, I will pray for you babe well I always do."

*Jakes was so thrilled and had this crazy joy can't explain and just wanted Laura to feel and see what he was saying*.

Laura said "so you believe all that women said, she could be a psycho, demonic, antichrist or something else."

Jakes said "I know what I felt and I know you did too. Just imagine what it could be like in God's presence just unbelievable and why can't you just let yourself believe babe?"

Laura said "I don't know, I used to pray when I was a kid and nothing changed. My childhood was horrible and I'm grown now I don't need God can handle myself now."

Jakes said "I don't think it works like that, you think I have strength to do this" wait thing" on my own you are so attractive not easy and I pray at night. God is not who you think he is, you have this ideas about him and they're all wrong."

Laura said "how do you know him jakes you don't go to church are you even Christian?"

Jakes said "I may not know much, my mother used to preach to me, read the bible to me daily and she would say that it is not just a book son it is the word of God."

Laura said "did it save her from depression, my mother dying from cancer and my life was a mess where was this God you're talking about?"

Jakes said "I don't have all the answers I'm not a pastor or Christian yet, you sound like you're mad at God."

Laura said "yet?"

Jakes said "I have been thinking about being Christian, well I prayed to have you in my life I should know God not just pray at night."

Laura said "Fine but don't force me to believe or pray with you at night all this is because you were sleeping with Emily."

Jakes said "Really, if that's easy on you how about we share a bed now."

Laura said" I don't want to."

Jakes said "that's what I thought, me praying has nothing to do with Emily and can we never bring her in our matters."

Laura said "Fine, sorry just you are full of surprises love."

Jakes said" don't deny it you like it babe that I'm so full of suprises, interesting and lets enjoy ourselves."

Laura said" No fighting no talks about God or your past life."

Jakes said "Past life i was just doing all that in months ago before I met."

Laura said "Really, jakes you don't want to talk about Emily but quick to remind me you were sleeping with her months ago."

Jakes said "just kidding, you should make peace with my past and not worry about it. I love you not Emily or any of those girls in college."

Laura said "I love you too clown."

Laura was thinking that she and jakes talked about everything asked each other tough questions? Questions to know before getting married and they both had the same response about spiritual questions. They don't want to be involved in any religion, yes Jakes told her that he believes that there's God and now him wanting to be a believer was shocking. Like everybody who look at you your past and be like how can you believe there's God and how can you of all people preach to me about God? She didn't say it out loud but she was thinking about it. Jakes and God wow.
