I'm so sorry that I took longer than expected with this chapter. School is killing me and last week was mock week but everything should be a bit more normal now! Thank you for all the support so far, it's given me a huge push to continue. I also love that some of you are reading the original book that this is based on, it's such a great story.

Note: Based on 'One Hundred Proposals' by Holly Martin, which I do not own.


The next morning Anna received a text message from Kristoff telling her to be ready for 11. She didn't know what was going to happen, where he was taking her or even what type of clothes she should wear.

After showering, Anna got breakfast, did her hair and make up and put on her favorite sunflower dress that Kristoff liked. She found herself doing that a lot, putting on things that she knew he liked. It was almost as if she didn't know she was doing it and even surprised herself.

At 11 sharp, Anna's door knocked and she opened it to see Kristoff in beige shorts and a blue shirt that coincidentally, she loved. He smiled at her and grabbed her hand, leading her out of the building and into the street.

"Are you going to tell me where we're headed for this proposal?" Anna said whilst smirking at him. He was still holding her hand and a part of her wanted to intertwine their fingers, but she held back.

"Shh, you're not supposed to know." He whispered.

"Sorry." She whispered back and they laughed.

"It's very warm today."

"Especially for England."

"Which is why we're going to the park."

Anna smiled and leaned against him slightly. "You're such a romantic." She joked.

He chuckled and grabbed her hand again, but this time it was as if electricity sprouted throughout her at something as simple as his touch. She tried to shrug it off but found it hard to concentrate again.

"...you know?"

"Hm, what?" She clearly had been too busy to even acknowledge that he was talking.

Kristoff glanced at her and saw that she was looking rather flustered. "Hey, if you don't feel okay then maybe we should take you home to bed. We can do this another day."

"No, I'm fine. Let's go!" She held his hand tighter and started pulling him along towards the park entrance, desperate to get this day over and done with.


"You did this for me?"

"Of course I did." He kissed her forehead and put an arm around her shoulder.

He'd lay out a blanket on the grass in the secluded area of the park with trees surrounding them. There was a picnic basket and a small flowered cake stand with a few cookies and cupcakes with swirled icing that looked too pretty to eat. He'd even placed flowers around them which made her feel a slight twinge of happiness, before remembering that this wasn't real.

"Kristoff, this is too much I-"

"Anna it's just a picnic."

She sighed. This is all too much.


For a long time Anna never believed in love, in fact it was Kristoff who persuaded her to date and it was his fault she was stuck in a dead end relationship for a year and a half. It was also his fault that her heart wasn't involved in her past flings because it already belonged to him. No matter how she'd tried to get rid of the feelings they just wouldn't go, not even a whole tub of cookie dough ice cream could help.

"I mean the proposals. Everything is just too much to handle."

"Oh come on! It's a bit of fun!"

For you maybe, the thought.

"Fine. But only because you know how much I love picnics."

He smiled wide and she felt the corners of her own lips tug.

"See, I'm perfect at proposal planning."

Proposal #3
July 4th
Location: our local park

It turns out Anna is a real lover of picnics (I told her I knew that but I really didn't, I just guessed). I think she was pleased with the amount of effort I'd put into this one. She told me that she used to have picnics a lot as a child and that they always made her happy, which was good. It was nice to see her smile.

So after we ate the sandwiches (that I definitely didn't buy from the local deli) and the cookies and cupcakes (that my mother definitely didn't bake) we headed for a walk through the park. It was very romantic, at least that's what Anna said. She said that we should start recommending these for our smaller scale proposals and I agree, I did a pretty good job.

As the afternoon came to an end, we walked towards the fountain that was pretty grand I guess. Anna says that it's one of the oldest ones here but I don't quite see the appeal.

Then I knelt, pulled out a ring that I got out of a cereal box, and proposed. This time she didn't laugh, or smile..

She teared up.

I think I'm finally cracking her.


"Teared up?" Anna peered up from her phone to look him in the eye. "I was sobbing Kristoff. You had to hold me for twenty minutes." He handed her a cup of tea. "People were clapping!"

"Because they thought you said yes." He smiled and sank down into the couch resting an arm casually around her shoulders.

Anna nestled into his body. "I'm sorry, it's just been a weird few days."

"I know. I'm sorry. If you want me to stop the proposals I will. Maybe it was a bit too much, especially if it's reminding you of the past."

Anna shot up and laughed forcefully. "You think that these amazing proposals are making me think of that douche? Heck no."

He chuckled and pushed her back down into his frame, her head resting on his chest.

"Amazing you say? Hmm, I must be getting closer."

"You haven't got anywhere near close yet." She smirked.

"What do you want? A unicorn? Because Anna, I'm afraid to tell you that they don't exist."

"You've just broken my heart." She giggled and began fumbling with the buttons on his shirt. "And anyway, it's not about the grand gesture of the proposal. You'll figure it out."

After she figures it out, she thought.

"And anyway, I'm not being weird because of anything like that."

"Why are you being weird then?"

Lovesick? Was that a thing?

"I've just been feeling a bit under the weather."

He moved a hand to her forehead. "You feel okay."

He picked up a blanket from on top of the couch and lay it across her. She snuggled deep into it, her head still lay on his.

"Take a nap. Maybe it's needed."

"You're the best."

"I know."


"So tomorrow we have Veronica and Matt's proposal in the early afternoon and then Laura and Kyle's at around six."

Anna nodded, quickly writing notes down in her diary.

"And then on Wednesday there's three but we're not required at any of them, they're all pretty chilled... Restaurants, boats, beach, they're not as grand."

"I don't know. I think they sound perfect, except the restaurant one. I don't want to be proposed to somewhere that fancy with loads of people putting down there forks to gawk at my answer."

"Well that rules out the next seven of my proposals." Kristoff said sarcastically. "I'm just kidding. You don't even like going to fancy restaurants."

"Excuse me? I think you're talking about yourself." She joked. "I don't like them that much, that's true. But your hatred for them is on another level."

"I'd still propose there if it's what you wanted."

"Well it's not and anyway, I think the person proposing should also be in a situation that makes them feel comfortable." She paused to take a bite of her panini. "You'd be sweating if everyone was eyeing you up."

Kristoff walked over to Anna and stole her panini, taking a bite himself.

"Don't be jealous of them thinking I'm hot babe."

"Ew, never call me that again Bjorgman."

"Sure thing babe."

Anna pulled a face and looked back at her diary.

"So any more proposals need planning this week?"

"Why?"

"So I can add it to my diary."

Kristoff picked up the diary and threw it onto the couch to dispose of it.
"Do you ever do anything not planned in your diary?"

Anna eyed him up, watching his face pull into a smirk as she realised that she's never done anything that hadn't been well planned out before. Even these proposals were killing her, she didn't know where she'd be at what time anymore. He made her world fuzzy.

"Yes of course I do! I went to-." She stopped. "Okay, there's that time I-"

"See."

"I went to the doctors spontaneously last month!"

"Because you had the highest fever known to man and I practically forced you to go. You still wanted to take your laptop with you."

Anna sighed and began playing with the ends of her hair. "Okay, maybe not."

"What are your plans for tonight?"

Anna walked over to the couch, sat down and opened her diary.

"I'm supposed to be planning Tom and Alice's proposal."

"Not anymore." He sat down next to her, picked up the remote and turned on a film that was just starting. "We're sitting here all night. I'm gonna order Chinese for us and then we're gonna play board games till we fall asleep."

"Kris, I have to work tonight." She went to stand up but he pulled her back down.

"Nope. No work tonight, no proposals, no planning. Just me, you and some spring rolls."

Anna chuckled at the innuendo that he obviously hadn't caught because he gave her a strange look. He then thought back and when he realized, he began to laugh with her.

In the middle of her uncontrollable laughing, Anna managed to get out the words, "Fine, you win" before they settled against the couch, Anna's body resting on Kristoff's. She breathed in his scent and almost began to drift off, before he nudged her awake, smiling at her.

Moments like this were exactly why she loved him.


"Anna." Kristoff whispered, gently moving to wake her. "Anna."

Anna's eyes fluttered open and his heart felt something that he'd felt a lot recently. He compared it to the feeling he got when he first met her, it was like butterflies and even after this long he still felt them whenever she smiled at him.

"Uhuh?" She mumbled before rolling back onto his chest.

"It's late. You should go to bed and I should probably head back."

"Mmm.. No, you're too comfy."

He chuckled and brushed a piece of her hair out of her eyes. "Let's get you to bed."

Anna mumbled something that he couldn't understand and then moved off the couch, her head moving with him and landing on a pillow softly. He turned around and laughed at her current position before gently scooping her up in his arms and turning towards her bedroom. She rested her head on his shoulder, clearly not aware of what was going on. He lay her down, pulling the duvet over her body and switched off her light as he began to leave her room.

"Wait." She shouted. "I haven't planned the proposals."

He walked back over to her and sat down on the bed. "Anna, you deserve a break. I'll sort it okay?" She nodded. "Now go back to sleep."

"I can't." She bit her lip. "My pillow isn't as comfy as my best friend." She smiled, hoping that she didn't break her cover.

"Well we can't have that can we?" He smiled and lay down on the bed next to her before pulling her body close to is and kissing her forehead. "Goodnight Anna."

"Night Kris."
