A couple days had passed by and everyone was now in Ottawa. Rachel had just finished her shower when she stepped out of the bathroom. With her towel wrapped tightly around her body she walked across the room and looked around for Brian. "Brian?" Rachel said as she looked around. Dumbfounded of where he could be she walked over to the dresser and picked up her brush. She began to brush out her hair when something caught her eye. A little white note with her name on it was taped to the mirror. Rachel set down her brush and pulled the note off the mirror. She opened it and read what was inside.

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE THE CLOSET. YOU'LL FIND A SURPRISE.

Rachel put down her brush and slowly walked over to the closet. She opened it up to find a beautiful pale blue dress hanging inside. Rachel took the dress out and slid her fingers down the silky fabric and opened the note that was dangling down from the hanger.

YOU ARE MY LOVE AND MY LOVE IS TRUE. BOY DO I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU. GO TO NICK AND KRISTIN'S ROOM FOR THE NEXT CLUE.

Rachel put on her robe and grabbed her dress then walked over to Nick and Kristin's room. After two knocks Kristin opened the door with a huge smile on her face.

"Good you're here! Did you bring the dress?"

"Yeah it's right here," Rachel said as she held it up.

"Okay cool beans. Come in we don't have much time," Kristin said as she yanked Rachel into the room.

"Don't have much time for what?" Rachel asked.

"I can't tell you I promised to keep this a secret," Kristin replied.

"Sit," she said, motioning to the chair. "I only have thirty minutes to give you a complete makeover."

Kristin carefully did Rachel's make up then moved on to her hair. She curled up Rachel's hair into tiny ringlets and pulled them up into a pony tail and bobby pinned the dangling ringlets around her head, using small pale blue and white roses to fill up the space. When she was finished she smiled in satisfaction.

"Girl you look great," she said as she handed Rachel a mirror.

Rachel smiled at Kristin's work. "I love it. It looks awesome."

"I'm glad you like it. Put your dress and shoes on you're almost out of time."

Rachel rushed to the bathroom with a giggle. She quickly slipped on her dress and shoes then hastily came out of the bathroom. "How do I look?" she asked as she did a half spin.

Kristin smiled and hugged Rachel. "You look gorgeous. When Brian sees you he's gonna fall dead in his tracks."

Rachel smirked and crooked up her right eyebrow. "What's he up to anyway?"

"Hey now! I promised him I wouldn't tell you anything. Trust me you're gonna love what he's got planned."

"I'm sure I will," Rachel said with a smile.

"Here take this and go have fun," Kristin said as she handed Rachel a note.

Rachel smiled, took the note, and left the room. She opened the note and read it carefully.

THE BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS IS EXPECTED AT THE BALL SHE MUST NOT BE LATE. GO DOWN TO THE LOBBY WHERE YOUR CARRIAGE AWAITS.

Rachel beamed with excitement as she rushed down to the elevator and down to the lobby. Outside the lobby a limo was a beautiful black stretch limo waiting for her. Rachel drew in a breath of surprise and got in the limo. Inside the limo was a long stemmed red rose. Rachel brought it to her nose and took in the sweet scent. She was beginning to get an adrenaline rush from all the excitement. She could hardly wait to find out what was waiting for her. A few minutes later the limo came to a stop. The chauffeur opened the door for her and she gracefully stepped out then looked around. The scenery was gorgeous. There was a stone structure built around like a ruins of a castle. The stones stacked up almost like a dome but there was no top. The place was faintly lit with candles and there was soft music playing in the background. A light pitter patter was coming from a water fountain nearby. The smell of fresh Italian bread reached Rachel's nose as she continued to scan the place. In the middle of the stone structure was a small table for two. Rachel looked around for Brian, but he was no where to be seen. Just then someone placed their hands over her eyes.

"My beautiful princess has finally arrived. And now she shall receive her gift," she said the sweet, soothing voice.

Rachel smiled as she felt Brian place something in her hands. He uncovered her eyes and stood in front of her as she carefully opened the small rectangular box. "Oh my gosh," Rachel whispered as she saw her gift. Inside the box was a four karat diamond bracelet placed upon solid gold.

"Read the inscription," Brian said softly.

Rachel turned the bracelet over and read aloud the inscription. "My love always and forever....Brian." Tears came to her eyes as she silently read it over again, sliding the tip of her fingers down the bracelet.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

"I love it," Rachel replied tearfully. "Thank you."

Brian placed the bracelet on her wrist then wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. "Ever since your surgery I have wanted to make you feel special. Now's the time," Brian said with a smile.

Rachel smiled back and kissed him lightly on the lips. "I can't believe you did all of this for me."

"Believe it," Brian said with a grin. "Wow you look absolutely stunning."

Rachel blushed. "Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself," she said as she admired Brian in his black tux.

"Aww shucks," Brian joked.

Rachel laughed and linked her arm with his. Brian lead her over to the table and pulled her chair out for her. The two talked and ate dinner. Afterwards Brian stood up and lended her his hand. She took his hand and he wrapped his arms around her waist as she leaned her head on his shoulder. The two swayed slowly to the music. Brian hummed softly with the music and kissed Rachel on the top of her head. They danced for a while longer then Brian glanced at his watch.

"It's getting late we better get back to the hotel."

"Okay," Rachel said with a smile.

Brian paid for the dinner and offered his arm to Rachel. She smiled and linked her arm with his. They got into the limo and went back to the hotel. When they got to their room Brian opened the door and lead Rachel inside. He flicked on the light and Rachel was astonished by the sight. There were red rose petals everywhere.

"Oh my gosh Brian you really went all out didn't you? When did you do this?"

"While you were in Nick and Kristin's room. That whole time I was getting dressed and putting the petals everywhere."

"This is really sweet," Rachel commented as she wrapped her arms around him.

"It's gonna get sweeter," he said as he lifted her up and carried her to the bed.

Rachel squealed with delight as he laid her down on her back. She smiled as she stared him deeply in the eyes and kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you," she said.

"I love you too," he said then kissed her back.

Rachel slipped her tongue in his mouth and ran her fingers through his hair. Rachel began unbuttoning Brian's shirt then slid it off of him. She slowly reached down and undid his belt and zipper when he stopped kissing her.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I wanna make love to you," Rachel said straight faced.

"Are....are you sure?" Brian questioned.

Rachel gave him a seductive stare. "Don't question me," she said as she sat up.

Brian grinned and unzipped her dress. They began kissing as he pulled the dress off of her and worked on her panty hose. "Oh god why panty hoes tonight?" Rachel laughed and pulled them off for him. He continued kissing her as he undid her bra. Rachel pulled off his pants and slid her hands under the elastic of his boxers.

"Have you ever done this before?" Rachel asked breathlessly.

"Once....why have you?"

Rachel shifted her eyes away from him. "No," she mumbled.

"You're positive you want to do this," Brian asked.

"Yeah I'm just a little nervous that's all," Rachel assured.

Brian smiled and brushed the hair away from her face. "I promise to be gentle."

Rachel linked her fingers with his and kissed him passionately. Brian picked up a condom off the night stand and put it on. "Are you ready?"

Rachel nodded. "I've never been more ready in my life," she replied then clicked off the light.
