Chapter 10 - Flashback: The Moment I Fell Harder

"Surprise!" Kayden uncovered my eyes.

In front of me is an empty apartment, with blank white walls. I turned around to look at him.

"What am I looking at?" I ask, wrapping my arms around his waist and looking up at him.

"Other than the hottest guy in the world?" Kayden asks jokingly.

I smile. "Other than that." I say.

He smiles and turns me around.

"This is our future," he says. I look at him.

"I didn't know you were going to go through with it, I thought it was just conversation," I say.

He tilted his head. "So, you don't like it?" He asks.

I shake my head, "No, no, I love it, it's just a surprise." I stand on my tippy toes to kiss him since he's so much taller than me.

"I want to spend my life with you, living together, even if it's starts off in an empty loft apartment with blank white walls. I want to make a story- our story, together. You're my partner. You're my rock, my soul, my forever. And I want you to be more than my girlfriend," Kayden says.

It normally takes me a few minutes to register a statement like this.

"Just to be sure we're on the same page… are you proposing?" I ask, my heart racing as wildly.

Kayden reaches forward and grabs my left hand, and gets down on one knee. He smiles up at me and pulls a small white box out of his pocket. He lets go of my hand and to open the box, revealing a beautiful rose gold white diamond square centered ring. There's diamonds all around the entire band. The can't-receive-affection in me kicks in.

"This must have cost so much, are you sure you don't want to get a cheaper one?" I ask.

Kayden shakes his head. "I honestly can't believe that's the first thing you said," he chuckled, and cleared his throat. "Danielle Aurora Wilder, will you be my forever?" Kayden smiles, holding the ring in his hand.

I'm still in shock, but I manage a very high-pitched, "Yes. I love you," I cried as he slipped the ring onto my finger. "I love you too," he said, getting up and pulling me into him.

"You will always be my best friend,". I said as he leaned down to kiss me.

I smiled and kissed him again. "Fiancé," I said, just to see how it felt.

"Don't make it weird," he laughed, tilting his head back.

It never gets old, watching him laugh like that. He's a work of art.
