Quinn was wrapped in Clays arm as her head rested on his chest. Their legs were tangled together, fingered interlocked, eyes closed and were breathing slowly. They were peacefully asleep in bed, with the glass door open and the only sound to be heard was from the waves crashing gently on the shore.
Clay woke up, but didnt wake Quinn, instead he just stared at her. He had memorized every aspect of her face and thought about how beautiful she was, and how lucky he was to have her. He loved her so much, and knew how much she loved him, they were exactly what each other needed.
As the sun began to rise, Quinn's sleepy eyes slowly opened, and a smile spread across her face as soon as she saw Clay gazing at her.
'Morning baby' Quinn said whilst leaning up to Clay's face, looking him in the eyes. Clay didn't respond, he just got lost in her blue eyes. 'What are you thinking about?' Quinn asked. Clay didnt reply, instead he put his hand on the back of her neck and slowly pulled her in for a kiss. He could feel Quinn smiling in the kiss until they slowly pulled away for air.
'I was just thinking about how much i love you' Clay said.
'Hmm and how much do you love me Mr Evans?' Quinn responded and smiled, she knew he loved her more than anything, but its always nice to hear it.
Clay wrapped his arms around Quinn's waist and slowly moved on top of her, sinker her back into the bed. He looked her in the eyes and kissed her softly on the lips, 'You'll see' he said followed by a quick peck on the lips. Then he quickly jumped of the bed and headed for the shower, leaving Quinn alone in the bed room. He didn't tell her how much he loved her, because words couldn't describe it, but also because he wanted to tease her a little by not actually answering her question.
Clay was in shower went he felt a sudden gust of cold air and heard the shower door open. His eyes were closed from the water but knew exactly what was happening. He felt Quinn's tiny arms wrapped around his waist from behind and felt her kisses along his back.
'What does my baby think she's doing in my shower?' Clay joked.
'Well baby, you left me, in bed, mid way through a conversation, besides I cant cook breakfast, so what else would i do?' Quinn replied while Clay laughed.
'Thats true, you're terrible at cooking' he said, whilst turning around to face Quinn and wrapping his arms around her shoulders and back. 'How about i make us breakfast.. after this lovely shower?' Clay asked.
'The Clay-Delux?' Quinn asked.
'Anything for my baby' he responded 'And tonight i think we should go out, you know, have a nice romantic meal, a bottle of wine or two?' Clay asked Quinn, as he felt the water temperature increase. Quinn liked her showers steaming hot.
'Sounds perfect' Quinn smiled and leaned up on her tip toes to capture Clay's lips in a kiss.
'Quinn, are you ready yet?' Clay shouted from the kitchen to Quinn in the bedroom. He was wearing a black suit and a light blue button down shirt. Quinn was still getting ready, she had no idea where she was going, which made it even harder to decide what to wear. She had seen what Clay was wearing and gathered it was somewhere fancy, because he was in a suit, but not too posh or smart, because he wasn't wearing a tie. She eventually chose a short blue dress with a sparkly clutch handbag and her sparkly Louboutin heels that Clay had got her whilst scouting in Paris.
'Wow, my baby looks beautiful' Clay said as Quinn walked out of the bedroom.
'Thank you handsome' she replied 'lets go' as their hands met and fingers interlocked. They left the beach house to go for a nice night out together. Quinn still didn't know where she was going, and was completely unaware of Clay's plans for the evening.
Clay and Quinn had got out of the car and were walking along, hand in hand, to a restaurant (or at least thats what Quinn thought.) 'If i told you to close your eyes, would you do it?' Clay sweetly asked.
'erm, okay?' Quinn replied and closed her eyes, as she felt Clays hand go softly over them to make sure she couldn't see. She couldn't help but smile as she wondered where he was taking her.
'No peeking' Clay said as he guided her to where he wanted her to be 'okay on the count of 2 i'm gonna let you see where were going tonight. you ready?' Clay said.
'Okay baby let me see' Quinn pleeded. Clay slowly removed his hands from her eyes and took in a deep breath as he said '1...2...' Quinn opened her eyes and saw where she was going. She looked out at the ocean to a yacht in the harbor. It was all lit up and looked absolutely beautiful. She gasped, she loved it. She turned to Clay and wrapped her arms around his neck 'Baby, you know im afraid of the ocean right?' she teased with a cheeky smile.
'Yes i do know that, but you wont have to touch the sea silly, and im here, so you're perfectly safe you goof' Clay chuckled
'i know baby, i'm only joking' Quinn winked.
They were the only two people on the boat, except for the waiter and chef. Clay wanted everything to be perfect. He had even told the chef Quinn's favourite meal and exactly how she liked it cooked before hand, just so that nothing could spoil the night. They sat at a table with a candle between them and a bottle and white wine, Quinn's favourite.
After they had eaten Clay looked at the waiter and smiled, Quinn still had no idea what was going on, not that she had noticed Clay was acting differently. He was panicing that the night wasn't perfect and he was nervous for what came next. The waiter turned on a vinyl as City And Colour - The Girl began to play. Clay knew how much Quinn loved City and Colour.
Clay took a deep breath yet again and got up from his seat and walked over to Quinn, she looked at him confused, but he just smiled. 'Quinn James, i love you.'
Quinn smiled and said 'i love you too baby, but what's going on?' She asked.
Clay knelt down at her side and repeated, 'Quinn James, i love you... so very much, when i see you the weight of my day just falls away, and i never want to lose you, so will you do the honor in being my wife?' he took another deep breath as Quinn started to tear up 'Marry me Quinn James?' he asked as he took out a little turquoise box from his pocket. He opened it up and inside was the most amazing Tiffany's rings, with 'Til Kingdom Come' engraved on the inside of the ring. Quinn burst into tears and smiled at the same time, as she felt Clays fingers on her left hand as he pushed the ring onto her finger.
'Yes of course i will' she replied, she put her hands and his neck and kissed him passionately 'i love you so much' she said. Clay pulled away and used his thumbs to wipe her tears from down her cheeks.
'What do you say we go home and go in the hot tub?' Clay asked whilst standing up. Quinn was still a little shocked and couldn't find words to talk, so she just nodded as Clay led her off the boat and back to the car.
