Chapter 27 - Once Upon a Time

Isabelle Orsino

Sebastian showed me the hot air balloon that we're going to ride from the car. I can't help but to smile because I'm so excited for this. This is like a dream come true.

How can this man come to my life and decided to wreck it?

Once the car stopped, we got out and I can't stop looking up seeing the huge hot air balloon. I took my phone out and took a lot of pictures.

"Mr. and Mrs. Grey, please stand in front of the air balloon." I turned to see 2 people bringing their cameras. The woman photographer smiled at me as she gestured me to stand in the middle. Sebastian actually was talking to one of the staff and I walked to the middle starting to pose first.

"How can you start without me?" Sebastian joined. We held hands first and then he wrapped his arm around my waist, I leaned my head to his shoulder. Then he kissed the top of my head.

"Get on my back.." He said and he bended his body down. I jumped to him and he picked me up. We took a lot of photos with me on his back.

"Should we get in now?" He asked as he put me down.

"Yes, let's go." I grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the hot air balloon. He helped me get in and he jumped in. The photographers joined us and I can't wait to see the results.

They prepared the hot air balloon to go up and Sebastian put his arm around my shoulder.

"Are you scared?" He asked.

"No." I turned to him.

"Are you nervous?"

"No." I chuckled because he looked like he's nervous.

"I think you're the one who is nervous and scared. Don't worry, I'm here." I said as I held his hand tightly and he chuckled.

"Thank you, wife."

"You're welcome, husband." I smirked and kissed his cheek.

The hot air balloon slowly started to go up and I can't hide my excitement. I took out my phone and started to take a video of the view.

"The sunset will be so beautiful." Sebastian said and I turned my phone to him.

"I know.. I'm excited." I said and the hot air balloon kept going up higher and higher.

"Looking down felt like you're going to fall." Sebastian said as he looked down to the ground and I stopped the video. I put my phone into my pocket and cupped Sebastian's face. I crashed my lips to his and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

I could hear the camera clicking sound and I turned to the camera while cupping Sebastian face. He pouted making me laugh.

"You're mean." He said and I laughed so hard.

"Mr. and Mrs. Grey, the sun is slowly setting down." We both turned to the sun and Sebastian led me to the side of the air balloon to see the beautiful view better. I took my phone out planning to take photos and videos.

"You should enjoy the moment, the photographers will take it all for you." Sebastian and I turned to him. I smiled and nodded.

"Let me get a short video and a few photos." I said and he nodded. I took 10 seconds video and a few photos. I put my phone back and turned to see the beautiful sun slowly going down.

"I don't know what the future holds for the both us but I hope we can go through it all together cause I want to face the world with you." Sebastian said as the sun hit the horizon. I could feel my heart beating more faster when he said that.

I turned to him and the sunlight hit his face giving me a picture perfect of a husband that I've always dream of. The sunlight disappeared and I turned to see that the sun already drown itselfs to the ground.

I know from that moment that I'm in love with this man.

"Whatever happens, I just hope you don't leave me." I said and Sebastian held my hand tightly.

"I promise." He said and with that I turned to him. He pulled me into a hug and he kissed my forehead. He then leaned down to kiss me and I circled my arms around his neck.

"Thank you for making all of this happen." I whispered as I burried my head to his neck.

"You're welcome, glad that you're happy."

Sebastian Grey

On the way back to the hotel, Isabelle fell asleep. I'm so proud of myself knowing that she's so happy after seeing the sunset from the hot air balloon. I looked outside to see the raindrops on the window.

Yes, it rained.

As soon as we got into the car, it's started to rain and I felt so blessed because it happened after we had fun.

One thing that I love the most about today is what she said as the hot air balloon slowly go down.

"Sebastian." She called me as she leaned to the corner edge of the hot air balloon.

"Hmm?"

"One day, when we're ready.. which we don't know when but when we are.. I just hope we can announce it in front of a lot of people. I really want to see their faces knowing our little secret." She smirked and I chuckled.

"I would pay big money to see their faces." I said and she chuckled.

"Maybe in 10 years?" She asked and I can't believe she said that because a decade is too long. I don't think we can hide it that long.

"How about 2 years?" I asked.

"Are you sure? 2 years is too short, what if we don't make it? 10 years is enough for me to know that we might go forever." She said and I shook my head.

"2 years.. or maybe a year."

"This is a bad idea, I have a feeling we might get caught before we can even announce it." She said as she looked up to the sky.

"I guess you're right. It is a bad idea, I might spoiled it myself."
