As soon as I got on the stairs, my eyes locked with his and all of the nervousness rushed out of my body.
Nessie took a step to the side so she wasn't actually in anybodie's vision, but she was still making sure I didn't fall.
"He looks like he's never seen anything as beautiful as you." Nessie murmured in my ear.
I began to chuckle to myself, but I didn't take my eyes away from her's. "He's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
Once we got to the bottom of the stairs, he was already waiting for me.
He didn't say a word but he took my hand in his and pulled me through the crowd of people who said 'hello' yelled 'happy birthday' to my turned back.
"Quil- I-"
We'd just stopped outside when I saw it; the lights.
The threes.
The stage.
An actual stage where there was an actual band playing my favourite song.
"You look beautiful, Claire."
My stomach clenched and my heart-rate sped up as his hands placed themselves on either of my cheeks.
"I- So do you," I squeaked. "You..."
His lips were on mine before I had time to say anything else.
And it was perfect.
He was perfect.
The perfect kisser.
The perfect guy.
He put his forehead on mine. "I'm going to marry you, Claire."
And for that moment in time, I could only hope that what he said was true.
