Engaged

"Before you go, I have something I want to talk to you about." I froze. He wasn't going to break up with me, was he? How could he? He led me over to the bench at the end of the park. It started to rain slightly, he handed me his jacket. It smelt just like him, god, I loved his smell. "Rachel Green, you make me happier than I knew was possible. I know we are meant to be together." I let a tear escape down my cheek. I knew what was coming next.

"Will you marry me-"

"Yes" I barely let him finish. I kissed him on the lips as he produced a small, black box. He pulled my hand onto his lap, and the box opened to contain a shimmering ring, ruby in the middle, a cluster of tiny diamonds all around it. "Oh!" I didn't know whether I was oh-ing because I was surprised he had proposed, or that I thought he knew my favourite gem was an emerald, not a ruby. Oh, he probably just thought it was the best ring in the store. Why should I care about the ring anyway, when the most wonderful man jut proposed to me? He kissed me gently, and then whispered "Let's go."

We hurried back to his apartment and soon we were connecting in a way that was different from before. I ran my hands through his hair as he caressed my body gently. His lips traced down my face to my neck, he kissed my softly at first, then rougher as we went along, this was so much better than the other times, I was sure of it. We slept until dawn, when we heard the birds chirping from the trees outside. I could lay here forever. I soon felt fingers smoothly tracing the curves on my back. I turned over to face my future husband. "Hey honey"

"I can't wait for you to be Mrs Lucas Ford."

"Rachel Ford, wow that will take some time to sink in!" I laughed.

"We have all the time in the world." He whispered, and then kissed me on the forehead as I snuggled into his chest, his arms wrapped around me. In my magical wonderland, the trees rustling softly, the birds tweeting happily. Yes, I could stay like this forever. Forever…

Finally my life makes sense. I got over him. I found the love of my life and I will stay with him forever. It was meant to happen like this, no matter what the others thought. All my life I have been waiting for this man and here he is. But accidents happen…
