The Law of Attraction

At Grey Mansion

Jorge was getting nervous as he looked at the small box in his hand. He had asked Miley to visit him at his family villa for dinner because he was planning to propose to her that day.

He heaved a long sigh as he looked at the set-up in his garden, then grabbed his mobile phone to call Miley.

"I'm almost there. Yeah… Why do you sound so excited to see me? I will be there in five minutes." Miley commented with a chuckle.

Soon her car arrived at the gate, and she drove inside the mansion. "Wow… what a beautiful arrangement of the lighting?" she murmured as she drove at the pathway. 

"Isn't it early for a Christmas decoration?" she added as she instructed her driver to slow down and opened her window to enjoy the blinking of a variety of colored lights.

She smiled seeing Jorge was waiting for her at the parking space.

"Hey why are you standing here and waiting for me?" she beamed as soon as she went out of the car. Jorge pulled her into a tight hug.

"I missed you so much," Jorge whispered in her ear. Miley giggled as she felt the butterflies inside her stomach. It had been three days since they last saw each other because she had to go abroad to represent their group. She came back this morning but her schedule was very tight so she told Jorge not to see her and agreed to have dinner with him tonight.

Jorge wanted to pick her up, but thinking that would be a hassle for him, she said she would go to his mansion after office and meet him there directly.

"I missed you too." she mumbled and snuggled more into his chest, holding him with both her arms.

"So warm…" Miley commented.

"Don't you want this kind of warmth with you every day, Miley?" Jorge murmured.

Miley, with her face still buried in his chest, responded, "Yes, I do. Isn't it obvious?"

"Then... let's get married… As soon as possible." Jorge whispered next.

He gently released Miley and took out the small box kept hidden in his pocket. He was supposed to propose to her later, after the wonderful dinner that he had arranged for them both, but he felt as if the timing at that moment was just right for the proposal and he shouldn't wait anymore.

Miley was shocked to see the box, and she excitedly grabbed it from him and opened the small box from Jorge's hand.

"Ohhh Jorge. It's so pretty. What took you so long to give this to me?" Miley murmured as tears swelled and flowed out from her eyes.

Jorge scratched his head… He did not know what to say. He cursed himself for being so slow in the past.

Miley looked at him with narrowed eyes and pouty lips as she burst, "Why didn't you arrange something as special as what my brother prepared for Lana?"

Jorge smiled as he gently wiped the tears rolling on Miley's cheeks, making her look more adorable and cute.

He then took the box from her hands and got the ring and gently put it on Miley's finger while saying, "I have prepared something… Didn't you notice those lights as soon as you entered?"

"That's it?" Miley mumbled in disbelief. Jorge chuckled at her disappointed look and he could not help but say, "I thought having me alone will be enough for you, and proposing to you alone like this with all my heart and soul will be overwhelming for you to agree to the proposal?"

Miley did not respond, but looked at her ring instead. "How much this must cost. Do you have enough money to buy this?" she whispered. The pink diamond ring with a high quality colour was flanked by two trapeze cut with white diamonds on a platinum band. She knew that this was one of the most expensive rings in the brand's catalogue he bought the ring from..

"How much ever it costs, but the cost means nothing more than how much the woman who is wearing it right now means to me…" Jorge whispered and added, "It looks so good on you, Miley."

He held Miley's hand and said, "Let's now go and see if you will like what I have prepared for you."

Jorge led the way to the garden and Miley gasped, seeing the lights as she stepped their way towards the romantically set table for them. But what caught her attention was the projector that suddenly started playing and a picture showed up on the screen in front of her.

The shots kept changing and more and more pics came up on the screen, making Miley widen her eyes in surprise. It was all her photos and even a few videos that were played on the screen.

"Are these all stolen shots and videos?" she burst.

Jorge timidly nodded and said, "Ever since I realized my feeling towards you. I always make sure to take a few of your pics and videos everyday…"

"Oh Jorge, you're scary. You were practically stalking me all these years." Miley teased, seeing some shots from her high school time as well.

And yet she thought that Jorge was like all her classmates during all those times who played a lot of games on their mobile phone during that time whenever he was with her.

"You see how much I liked you so much since then. You were always mad and wanted to see what I was playing on the phone, when in reality I just wanted to take pictures and videos of you all that while…" Jorge whispered.

He hugged Miley from behind as they continued watching the compilation of Miley's various photos and videos he had taken in all the years he was in love with her. He could feel her sobbing while she watched and read the captions he had written on the videos.

One of them was her graduation day video with the caption, 'the time when I wanted to hug and kiss you in front of so many people as you rejoiced and looked at me with those eyes sparkling with your achievements. How I dreamed of screaming that I love you that day.'

"I know I'm at fault, Miley. It took me so long to confess… And I am sorry for being so slow all that time. But please believe me when I say this, that nothing in this world could ever make me more happy than being your legal husband as soon as possible. So Miley Sy, today I want to take this opportunity to ask you.... will you marry me now?" Jorge asked. There was no response for a moment, and Jorge felt his heart sink. 

He then whispered next, "There's no rush. I'm willing to wait once you are ready…"

Miley smiled and sniffed, "okay, but we will stay at Sy mansion after our marriage and not live here."
