Isabella was making her way to her car when Santo called her.
“Moretti.”
“Tesoro, I have decided a way to make things up to you.” Santo said.
“Have you now?” Isabella questioned, arching an eyebrow.
“Yes, Brock will take you to Armando’s where you will prepare yourself to be swept off your feet.”
Isabella saw Brock approaching and nodded at him, he indicated for her to get in the car by opening the door and she did.
“Well Santo I can’t say no to that now can I?” She giggled.
“No tesoro, enjoy and see you soon.”
Isabella said goodbye and leaned back in the seat as Brock drove Isabella to Armando's apartment where Maya was waiting. Maya started with Isabella's hair which was done in an hour. Isabella looked in mirror and smiled.
“I love it Maya, you're amazing.”
Maya hugged her and smiled.
“You have an hour before Armando is ready.”
Isabella waved her hand in the air at Maya’s comment. “He's still slouching around like an idiot.”
“True okay, how are you?”
Isabella knew Maya was referring to today, Isabella had phoned Maya after Santo left her office. Maya had stated to just ignore Brooke and focus on Santo.
“I'm good babes.”
“Alright, well have fun; I need to meet Hugo, bye.”
“Alright be safe, bye.”
Isabella went to the cupboard and took out her make-up. It took her half an hour to be done with that. She was putting on her jewellery when Armando came in. She turned to look at him.
“You're looking pretty dapper, why?”
“I have plans with Jamie, sheesh.”
Armando leaned against the door and drank his coffee.
“Well my compliment still stands.” She said.
“Thanks, why you still half naked?”
“I just finished my make-up, didn't want to mess the dress.”
“You have 30 minutes then we're leaving.”
“Okay but you need to help me with my zip.”
Isabella put the dress on and Armando came to help zip up her dress. He smelt her neck.
“Is that la est vie belle, you have 30 minutes Izzy.”
Armando laughed as he left the room, Santo was going to be speechless. Isabella put on her shoes and packed her purse. She left the room to join Armando, who took her arm and smiled. He guided her to the vehicle and Brock dropped them off at the restaurant.
“Don’t you have a date?” Isabella asked as they entered the restaurant.
“I am under strict instructions not to leave your side until my brother arrives.”
Isabella laughed at that, “Okay then shall we share a glass of scotch?”
“But ofcourse principessa.”
Santo looked the yellow square diamond ring once more before he placed it in his pocket and walked in the restaurant. He had been keeping it for the last 4 weeks now, carrying it around waiting for the right moment. He had asked Armando to bring Isabella so she could meet him inside the restaurant, when he walked in he saw them sitting by their booth. He went over to Isabella and pulled her into his arms.
“You look incredible tonight mi amor.” Kissing her forehead.
“Grazie mi amor now will you tell me why you’re spoiling me?”
“Come with me first.” He held out his arms and she took it. Santo regarded his brother, “Grazie hermano.”
“Prego Santo, enjoy the night kids.”
Armando left them as they took the elevator, when they did he rushed up the stairs till he got to the rooftop. Santo owed him his life after this trip. When he got there he greeted everyone and told them they needed to hide because the couple was on the way.
The elevator dinged, indicating the couple had arrived. Isabella looked around and held her hands to her mouth in shock. There were fairy lights surrounding them, with flowers at every turn. There was a huge table at the end of the roof decorated beautifully. The couches were filled with pillows of her and Santo’s pictures together. The view of the city just ahead of them and it was simply gorgeous. She turned around to thank Santo but stopped in her tracks. Santo Moretti was on one knee, presenting a ring box to her.
“Marry me Isabella.”
She looked up at him, mouth open.
“I know we haven’t known each other that long but mi amor for me it’s long enough. I love you too much to lose you. Marry me il mio amor.”
“Santo yes.”
He heard her say while grinning at him, taking the ring out he put it on her finger. Santo grabbed Isabella and kissed her breathless.
