I let out a deep breath and get on one knee. Helena's eyes widened. "Helena.. My Helena. The woman of my dream. What did I do to deserve you. To have you in my life. I am the luckiest girl in the world." I said holding her hand, then I pulled out a velvet box from my jacket and show the ring to her. "Helena, I love you so much. You're the most important thing in my life. I'm not going to say I can't live without you, because I can. I just don't want to. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you and only you. Will you.. Helena Bonham Carter.. will you marry me? This.. doesn't have to end with marriage. This is just a symbol of commitment and promises from me to you, we don't have to get mar-"
Helena cut me off and kiss me deeply. "YES! ABSOLUTELY!" She screams with happy tears in her eyes then hugs me tightly. "Y/n this is beautiful. Thank you so much." I put the ring on her finger.
This might be the end of my story here but it's obviously the new beginning of my lifetime journey with Helena, my Helena Bonham Carter..
✿ ✿ ✿ ✿
After spending a few days at my parent's house, it was time for me and Helena to go back to London. We had already packed and were ready to go.
"Do you really have to go?" My mother asked.
"Unfortunately yes.. Helena doesn't really have much free time. Her schedule is a little bit tight right now. She has to start filming her upcoming movie tomorrow." I explained.
"Yeah.. I'm really sorry. But we promised we'll come back here soon." Helena apologised.
"It's alright Helena.. I understand. Don't worry about it, I'm just joking. Not really joking but.. you know.." My mother laughed. "Just make sure to come back here as soon as you're free from your work. Okay?!" She said.
We both nodded, "Of course we will!"
"Are we ready to go?" My brother joined us in the living room.
"Yes. We just need to say goodbye to dad first." I replied.
Helena and I went to my father's room to say goodbye to him. Then my brother dropped us off at the airport, he left right after we waved goodbye to him.
A few hours later we finally arrived in London, we drove straight back to Helena's house. Once we were at home, we were greeted by Helena's mother, Elena. We went to the living room and had a little chat with her. Helena told her about what happened at my parent's house and the engagement. She didn't say anything at first, she just hugged us tightly and started tearing up.
"Mum, you alright?" Helena asked.
"Yes.. yes.. I'm alright.. it's just.. ahh I'm so happy for you.. for both of you. I'm glad that you finally found someone who loves you, someone that understands you.. can make you happy." She said to Helena. "I just want you two to promise me something.."
Helena and I looked at each other in confusion. "Oookay.. what is it?" Helena turned her face and looked at Elena; she furrowed her eyebrows.
"I know how deeply you love each other, despite your age difference and people's judgement. I really hope you two can be together as long as possible. Together forever. I want you two to promise me that if.. one day you find a problem in your relationship, like a disagreement or misunderstanding. Try to solve the problem. Not avoiding it. Communicate! Find a way to make your relationship work. Don't give up too easily. Understand?" She said.
I nodded, Helena looked at me and smiled. "Yes mum. We understand. We'll remember that."
"We promise." I added.
In the middle of our conversation, Helena's kids showed up. Nell ran and hugged me then her mother. I've been so close to Nell since the first time I met her. She's the sweetest little girl I've ever known. Billy, he's a nice boy too. Not as clingy as Nell but he's very sweet and adorable as well. Helena raised them very well.
We continued talking and spent another hour hearing the kids sharing their stories and how their days went until Elena took them outside to the garden to play with the dogs. Helena and I finally had a chance to go to our room to rest for a bit and freshen up.
"Do you think we should tell the ladies?" I suddenly asked.
"What?" She shouted from the bathroom.
"Do you think we should tell the ladies about our engagement??" I repeated myself.
"Who???"
"The ladies?! Your friends.. Sarah and the other ladies." I shouted back.
Helena came out from the bathroom and lay beside me on the bed. She had already changed to her casual clothes.
"Well.. of course.. they helped us from day one. So they have the right to know our happy news." She said.
"Okay let's make some calls then." I said excitedly.
"Don't you think it's a bit too much work if we called them one by one?" Helena asked.
"Hmmmm.. you're right! Let's tell them in the group chat then." I said.
I sent the message in our group chat then waited for their reply. Yes, I'm part of their gang now. Hahaha..
A moment later, Sarah facetimed me.
Sarah : "Heyyyy ladieesss!!!! My two lovebirds!! Congratulations on your engagement!! God!! I'm so happy for you!! And I'm so excited!!!"
Me and Helena : "Hey Paulsonn.. thank youu.. if it wasn't because of you, we probably wouldn't be here.. together. You helped us so much. So.. we really thank you for that."
Sarah : "That's my pleasure.. you two are meant to be together. I just gave you two a little boost. Hahaha.."
Another call came. It was Sandy. I decided to make it a group video call and let her join me, Helena, and Sarah.
Sandy : "Heyyyy!! Congratulations!!!"
Me and Helena : "Thanksss Sandy!!!"
Sandy : "Wait Paulson here too?"
Me and Helena : "hahaha yes.. I guess we started a group FaceTime."
Sarah : "Let's bring Cate here!!"
Helena, Sandy, and I just laughed. Not long after that Cate joined us.
Cate : "Hello??"
Sarah : "Cate! Where's your face? We can't see you!"
Cate : "My face is still attached to my head, thankfully. HOW TO DO IT?? HOW TO SHOW MY FACEE??"
Sandy : "Ohh it's going to be a longgg day.."
Helena and I laughed hysterically while listening to Sarah explain everything to Cate. Sandy just judged them and shook her head in disbelief.
15 minutes later, Cate finally managed to turn her camera on without muting herself or accidentally ending the call. The real conversation started and after a while, it became more chaotic and we started talking about random things.
Sarah : "How about we planned some engagement party for Helena and y/n??"
Sandy : "Well.. I'm down for that."
Me and Helena : "Hmmm.. that sounds like a good idea."
Cate : "I'm down too!!! But.. I'm going to Australia tomorrow."
Sarah : "I didn't say right now or tomorrow. We still have to check our schedule and make some room for that."
Everyone agreed. Then we continued our random talk until Sandy excused herself and ended the call, followed by Sarah.
Cate : "Oh.. before I end the call.. Helena, is y/n free next Saturday?"
Helena : "I don't know. I guess she is.. I don't have any red carpet or any interviews for the next 2 weeks. Why?"
Cate : "I'm going to Berlin next week for a photoshoot. Elizabeth couldn't make it, I just thought maybe she could fill in. Just for a few days. It's temporary."
Me : "Well.. I don't know Cate.. I need to discuss it with my boss first. Hahahaha.."
Cate : "Helenaaa.. could you please let y/n work for me??!! Let me borrow her for a few days?? Please please please!!!"
Helena : "Alright alright we'll discuss it tonight. We'll let you know tomorrow."
Cate : "Perfect!! I can't wait for the good news! Now I really have to go. My daughter just threw her food everywhere."
Me and Helena : "Hahaha.. alright.. talk to you later then! Byee!!!"
Then we ended the call.
"So? What do you think?" I asked Helena.
"Huh? About what?" She looked at me in confusion.
"Cate's proposal? The job opportunity?"
Helena seemed lost in her thoughts, "Ermmm.. can we discuss this later after dinner?" She finally said.
"Alright.." I simply said.
I went to the bathroom to take a shower and get changed. 20 minutes later, I get out of the bathroom and Helena was still lying on the bed, playing with her phone.
I sat on the edge of the bed next to her, "What are you doing?" I asked.
"Checking my schedule." She said plainly.
"Ohh.. okay. Is everything alright?"
"Yeah." She answered without looking at me.
I started to feel like she was upset about something. Was she upset because Cate offered me a job? But why?
"Are you okay Helena?" I asked carefully.
She sighed. "Yeah.. I'm fine. I just got a little bit jealous, I guess."
"Jealous? Of Cate?" I try hard not to laugh at her nonsense.
"Yes!" She frowned.
I burst out laughing, "You're weird Helena.. you know she's married. There is no way Cate will do anything stupid like flirting with me and ruining her friendship with you."
She sighed again, "I guess you're right. But.. why do you want that job? You already have me as your client."
"Well.. first, I just want to help her out. Also.. I want some challenge and to really prove myself. I want to see what I can achieve on my own. It's not like I don't like working for you. But honestly, I kinda feel like you just offered me a job to do me a favour, and to be close to me. I want to be independent. I want to try out something new.. some real challenge. Cate said it herself that it's just temporary. Soo.. I'll still be with you, I won't work for her forever."
Helena went silent for a moment, then she looked at me and smiled, "Okay then.. I'll let you go with her." She said.
"Thank you!! Thank you for your understanding! You're the best!! I love you!!" I attacked her with a bunch of kisses, making her giggle.
A few minutes later, Elena called us for dinner and we walked to the kitchen hand in hand with a huge smile plastered on our faces.
