Beyond Princess Arabella [COMPLETED]

Chapter 16

Arabella's POV

*The next day*

Me and Xavier spent the day together mainly hanging around the castle, which consisted just laying down on our bed. It was around 5 when Xavier suddenly got up from our bed.

"Baby, we're having a date tonight. I've got everything planned. You just need to get your pretty little butt into the shower and once you come out there will be a box. Put it on, but not any shoes, baby I'll see you later." He said kissing me ever so softly, before he turned around to leave. "Bye princess, get in the shower." He tapped my butt and left the room.

Getting showered, wrapping my body in a fluffy white towel, I walked back into the room to find a box on the bed, exactly as Xavier had said. I opened the box and inside was a beautiful navy-blue dress. Picking it up out of the box, only the top half came out of the box. Then I realised that it was a two piece. 'This isn't that appropriate Xavi, what are you doing.' I thought, giggling to myself. Putting on the lingerie and then slipping the dress on. It looks beautiful on, I then styled my hair into a messy bun on the top of my head. Finally deciding to do nude makeup, I then look inside the box, seeing a letter sitting there I open it.

Belle,

I hope you have put the dress and lingerie on. Remember no shoes! I know that the dress will look absolutely stunning on you, a little inappropriate I know, but your just for my eyes only baby.

Now, walk downstairs and go out the door to get to the private beach and you'll find me there. Love you princess.

Your prince, Xavier. Xx

I slowly walked down the stairs and walked out the door to the private beach. Seeing a table set up in the middle of the sand with roses set all around it. There were tiny candles placed around with giant wooden poles on fire next to them. I slowly walk towards it, I look around finding Xavier standing, staring out to sea.

"Hey my prince." I said as I walked slowly towards him and placed my hands on his shoulders.

"Why hello my princess." He said while turning around to face me. I moved onto my tip-toes and gave him a long kiss on his lips.

"So, baby, do you like the dress?" he asked me as he held me to an arm's length.

"I love it, but isn't it a little inappropriate for a princess to be wearing?" I asked him cheekily.

"Well, yes, it is princess, however it's just me seeing you in this." He said while placing his hand around my waist, leading me towards the table. I loved the feeling of his skin on mine.

We sat down and had dinner with each other, laughing and just chatting away. Not before long, Xavier started to act a little differently.

"Belle, my princess, we have been going out for 5 months now, I know that this maybe too fast for you, but I have always believed that we were the ones for each other." Xavier said to me whilst rubbing his thumb across the back of my hand. "I have always believed that you should only marry someone for love. And that love to be pure, I don't believe in the whole marry for the country bs." He continued. What is he even doing?

"I believe that too Xavi, that you should only marry for pure love."

"Baby, I love you so much, that I would do anything for you. Just for you. I love you from the bottom of my heart, no words can explain how much I do. You're are sexy, beautiful, intelligent, kind, graceful and inspiring to many people out there." He said kissing the back of my hand.

"I'm surprised that no one has interrupted us yet, normally someone will have to come and tell us something. I'm surprised for once." He said causing me to giggle.

"I agree too, I'm waiting for someone to come and call us somewhere." I said laughing. Xavier was silently tapping his foot rapidly. I could feel the vibrations through the sand. Ever since Xavi started talking I was twiddling my loose strands of hair around my finger. Getting nervous about why he is telling me all of this. "Xavi, I love you so much too but why are you saying this? Are you breaking up with me? Please tell me you're not." I said starting to cry again.

"No baby, don't worry I'm not breaking up with you, just carry on listening to me beautiful." He kissed my hand again, wiping away my tears.

Suddenly Xavier let go of my hand and moved around the table. He pulled me up out of my seat and moved his hands to my waist. We started kissing each other softly. After a few minutes the kiss gets more intense. He pulled away, looking deep into my eyes with love swirling in his eyes.

"Ever since we met as kids I knew you were the one, I have always been your night in shinning armour. When we had sent seen each other in a while I thought you were gone too. We have been so close since we were little kids and we have always had this connection. The spark we feel when we kiss or make love. I knew that we have always been destined with each other." Xavier started to pull away from me. My eyes started to well up again, what is happening? Is he breaking up with me? What's wrong? These thoughts were swirling through my head.

"Belle, my princess, Princess Arabella of Roseedge. Will you do me the honours of making me the happiest man alive and marry me?" Xavier said whilst he knelt down on one knee.

I looked at the ring and it was a blue diamond surrounded by small white diamonds. I can't believe he remember the jewellery he brought me. The necklaces and the earrings. All the time we would wear matching clothes which would be blue. I stopped breathing for a second stunned. Looking down at Xavier I start to cry.

"Oh my god, yes. Xavier. Yes of course I will marry you. I love you so so much." I pulled him up from his kneeling position. Quickly smashing my lips on his, we stay like that for what felt like forever.

He suddenly stopped and moved an arms distance away, he took my left hand in his and slipped the ring onto my finger.

"This is why I left you to talk to your aunt and cousin. I got their permission to marry you. I wanted their permission first. I've been holding onto this ring for the past 3 weeks. I love you so much my princess" Xavier said kissing the ring.

"I love you so much Xavi, can you believe it? I am marrying Prince Xavier Whitbeck." I almost screamed. I Jumping onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"I love you too, so much my princess. And believe it baby. It should be me asking if people can believe it. I am marrying Princess Arabella Charlwood." He said wrapping his arms around my back and pulling me into a long kiss.

After a while, we were walking back to the room, when we spotted Aunt Emily and Felix.

"So, I presume congratulations is in order?" Felix asked with amusement in his voice.

"Well, yes, it is. She said yes. I am making your cousin into my beautiful wife. I am making her my queen." Xavier said pulling me by my waist to him, giving my temple a kiss.

"Congratulations you two. Are you going home tomorrow?" Aunt Emily asked.

"Yes, we are, now if you would mind, I would like to have my fiancé all to myself. Goodnight." He said picking me up bridal style.

"Ah, Xavi, put me down." He just shook his head to me.

"Good night aunty. Felix." I said whilst Xavier was walking away.

"Good night you two. Congratulations once again." They walked away laughing.

"Come on princess, let me show you how much I love you. You got on what I gave you in the box?" he questioned me

"Why, yes babe, I did and its just for your eyes." I said before attacking his neck with my lips.

We spent that night celebrating our engagement. Showing each other how much we truly did love one another.
