"Me? You want to marry me?" she questioned, sniffing and frantically trying to wipe the stream of tears that were falling out of her eyes.
Before Charles even had the time to respond she butted in again, looking down at her boyfriend who was still on one knee, his puppy dog eyes looking straight back at her, the smile and cheek in his face and turned into shock and worry. "But I'm Molly, the girl who grew up in a council house, the girl who…" she paused as her shaky breathing, from her crying, prevented her from speaking "I'm nothing like you" she looked away.
He stood up slowly as he had been down on one knee for quite some time, and his injuries to his leg made him much slower and he had started to get cramp. He held her face and gently turned her head so she was looking at him, he then pulled her into his chest and comforted her as she cried. He just held her for a while, this was not how he pictured it would be. Molly lifted her head and begun to speak before Charles placed his finger over her mouth, "let me" he spoke softly, tucking a strand of her luscious hair behind her ear.
He scanned her face, the sadness in her eyes made his heart ache "I don't give a shit where you grew up Mol, your perfect to me and I want to spend the rest of my life with you" he took both of her hands and locked his fingers into hers "I love you for who you are and I wouldn't change you for the world which means I wouldn't change anything about how and where you grew up" he gulped "because…Mol that's made you the person you are today and I'm madly in love with that person".
Her tears came to a halt and that beautiful smile which brought out her adorable dimples appeared, the twinkle in her eyes returning "if you aren't ready…if you think this is all too much too soon then that's okay babe, I don't want to rush you" he removed one of his hands from hers and stroked the side of her face "I also never want to lose you so that's…"
Now she stopped him from speaking, placing her finger on his lip.
"Do it again" she responded quietly, her voice now less shaky.
"Do what?" he questioned, his eyebrows narrowing closer together.
She blushed "What you just perfectly did about five minutes ago before I was a twat and started getting all emotional" she smiled "I'm sorry I ruined that perfect moment, can we forget it" she grinned which brought a huge smirk to Charles' face, the smile that he longed for and made every day worth living.
"Are you sure" he asked
"Never been surer in my life" she replied, releasing her hands from his as he took a step back and carefully got back onto one knee.
He looked up to her and re-opened the box "Will you marry me Molly Dawes?"
"Yes yes yes yes yes" she replied.
He slid the ring onto her finger and they both stood up in unison, Molly jumping up and wrapping her legs around his waist before kissing him repeatedly "I" she kissed him "love" kissing him again "you" repeating the same steps he had done that morning.
"I love you too…fiancé"
"Ooo I love it" she blushed "I could get very used to being your fiancé" she smirked.
"Upstairs?" he smiled wiggling his eyebrows
"I thought you'd never ask" she giggled, a sound she thought she would never make, but that's what this man did to her, made her do new things and she loved that she was going to get to experience lots of new things with him, the man she loved. A piece to her growing puzzle that made up her growing perfect life.
What more could she ask for?
