Optimus Prime, was the eldest son of a Duke, Optimus was a very handsome young man, and his family was very respected, and very wealthy.
Because of this, many young women were interested in Optimus, but only because Optimus had a high position and wealth, and Optimus did not like that.
Elita one, was the second eldest daughter of the Duke, Elita was a beautiful maiden, and her family was wealthy, and they had relations with a minister.
Many young men were very interested in Elita, and wanted her to be their wife, for selfish reasons.
Elita's parents wanted Elita to get married soon, but Elita, did not want to marry just anyone. She wanted to marry for true love.
One night, while Optimus was attending some dinner parties, he met Elita there.
When they looked into each other's eyes, they immediately fell in love with each other, during the party, they talked a lot with each other, and realized that they had a lot in common.
The next time they met each other in the park, and after that they started dating.
For three months they dated each other, and their love grew deeper and deeper. They met each other at many parties, and at opera performances.
Optimus's parents were very fond of Elita, and Elita's parents were very fond of Optimus, so there were no problems in their relationship.
One evening, Optimus and Elita were at a party organized by a baroness, a charity party to raise money for orphaned children.
The celebration included dinner and dancing. The banquet hall was decorated beautifully, and the food was delicious, three starters, four main courses, and two desserts.
The wine was delicious for everyone, and everyone enjoyed the party, especially Optimus and Elita, they sat next to each other, and enjoyed each other's company.
Optimus was dressed in a handsome uniform, and Elita in a beautiful pink dress decorated with creamy white silk flowers.
When the other guests looked at them, they thought they were the perfect couple.
Optimus looked at Elita every now and then, and blushed whenever Elita looked at him and said something to him.
And when Optimus answered Elita, speaking something awkwardly, his voice trembled. Elita always laughed shyly, and blushed embarrassedly.
The last dinner was eaten, and the guests moved to the dance floor, the music started playing, and the guests danced, or chatted with each other and drank champagne.
Optimus and Elita would have liked to be alone, but during the party, others wanted to talk to them too. Many handsome young men tried to impress Elita. And many young women tried to impress Optimus.
Finally, Optimus managed to get Elita to take a little distance, so that they could talk to each other.
"Thanks Optimus, I'm getting bored, those men can't talk about anything but themselves, I know they're only interested in my family's money." Elita said.
"Same thing with those women," Optimus said with a smile.
For a while they didn't say anything to each other, just watched the others dance.
"Do you want to dance?" Optimus asked, and offered his hand.
"Yes, thank you." Elita said with a smile, and took Optimus' hand.
Optimus' cheeks started to turn red, and he stuttered something that he soon forgot about, and he felt good and awful at the same time.
Elita felt warm shivers down her spine when she felt Optimus' hand in her own, and she wanted to run and laugh at the same time.
Slowly they moved on to dancing, and as they danced together, they forgot everything else, they just looked into each other's eyes, and were very happy, and they didn't notice that everyone was watching their beautiful waltz.
They only woke up when the dance was over, and the guests were clapping and cheering for them.
Embarrassed, Optimus and Elita bowed, and left for the mansion's garden, while the others continued their dance.
It was a beautiful spring evening, the air was warm and smelled of spring.
In the garden, lanterns shone, and water bubbled from a marble fountain. Elita walked gracefully through the garden and sat down on a garden bench to rest.
Optimus looked at Elita admiringly, and sighed, he had a ring with him, Optimus wanted to propose to Elita, but his courage failed him all the time.
"Optimus! come sit down." Elita shouted.
"I'm coming." Optimus said quickly, and went to Elita.
They sat side by side for a moment, not saying anything to each other, the stars twinkling in the sky, and music playing from the banquet hall.
Finally Optimus decided to speak.
"You look really beautiful tonight, that dress suits you."Optimus said.
"Thank you, and you look...especially handsome tonight." Elita said and blushed. Optimus blushed too.
"Thank you, honey." Optimus whispered, looking Elita in the eyes.
Optimus and Elita looked at each other, and finally they couldn't control themselves. They kissed each other passionately.
The kiss was their first kiss, it was a wonderful feeling, and full of passion.
Optimus felt as if he had just gained wings and was flying high in the clouds.
Elita felt wonderful, and her knees felt like jelly. But they both thoroughly enjoyed the moment.
Finally they stopped kissing, Elita pressed herself into Optimus' arms, and sighed happily, she felt so safe in Optimus's arms.
Optimus hugged Elita and kissed Elita's forehead, and wanted to hold Elita close.
"I...I love you Elita." Optimus whispered. "
And...and I love you." Elita whispered back.
After a while, Elita and Optimus returned to the banquet hall, but before that, Optimus decided to ask Elita something.
"Elita...my darling, I want to ask you something." Optimus said and knelt in front of Elita. Optimus took a ring from his pocket and slipped it on Elita's finger.
"Elita...will you be my wife?" Optimus asked.
Elita cried with joy.
"Oh Optimus...yes..yes! I will be your wife." Elita said happily. And Optimus was very happy.
And so Elita and Optimus were engaged. And a few months later, their wedding was celebrated in grand style, and they became the perfect couple.
End.
