“Coming. Sorry, I was trying to find the right earrings,” she says, putting one in.
“You look gorgeous,” I tell her for probably the twentieth time.
“Thank you,” she says, giving me a quick kiss. “I’m ready now.”
“About time,” I tease as I link our fingers together and lead her out of our bungalow. We walk down the path to the main resort turning when we reach the T that will take us to our spot for the night. As we approach the cabana, it is all lit up with tiki torches. They’ve spread rose petals along the walkway, and all over the floor. In the center is a table for two, champagne bucket to the side and a sitting area near the edge that looks out over the water where we can watch the sun set.
“Good evening,” our server greets us. “Can I offer you a glass of champagne?” he offers, holding up a tray with two glasses.
“Thank you,” Carmen says, taking one of the glasses before he moves it slightly so I can grab the other one.
“Please enjoy the view, we’ll serve the appetizers down by the water’s edge in approximately five minutes.”
“Thank you so much,” she tells him again, then takes another sip of her champagne. I lead her over to the water’s edge. My palms start to sweat as I think over the words that have been on my mind since well before we arrived here earlier this week. The ring in my pocket has been burning a hole since I bought it weeks ago, but I knew that I needed something big and grand to take place when I asked her to marry me.
I set my glass down on the small table, grabbing hers and doing the same. I hold her while we look out over the water, until I realize that I’ve got to do this if I want the pictures to be perfect.
I turn us once more, this time so we’re facing one another. I look down in her eyes and see nothing but the immense amount of love she has for me shining back.
“Carmen,” I start, my voice cracking slightly as my emotions catch up with me. “I know our start was rocky, it’s safe to say you hated me when we first met,” I say, and she chuckles. “Thankfully, I pulled my head out of my ass and stopped being childish. I wanted to prove to you that I wasn’t the man the media portrayed me to be. I wanted to prove to you I was a man who could be trusted and one who could sweep you off your feet. One that could be trusted to love you and show you the world.” I drop to one knee, pulling the ring from my pocket as I do. I open the box and hold it out. I look up at her tearful, yet happy smile, “Carmen Gibson, will you make me the happiest man on this earth and marry me?” I ask as she launches herself at me.
“Yes!” she screams out. I wrap my arms around her, lifting her up as I stand. My lips somehow find hers, devouring them as I kiss my fiancée for the first time.
We finally break the kiss, and I pull the ring from the box, sliding it onto her ring finger. It fits perfectly and looks damn good on her.
“Holy shit, Lucas. This thing is the size of a baseball,” she says, looking at the rock I just placed on her finger.
“Damn straight, baby. Only the biggest and the best for you,” I tell her, kissing her once more.
