Chapter 11

Robin's Pov)

I woke up early to set up everything I had planned. After I finish at our house, I go set up everywhere else.

I finally start to wake up. When I opened my eyes there was a beautiful long-stemmed rose on your side of the bed with a note. I immediately smile. I lean up on my elbows and grab the rose. It smelled amazing. I pick up the note and it reads: -Good Morning Beautiful!- with a heart next to it. Further toward the bottom, it read: -had to pick up Roland I'll see you later.-

I get out of bed with the biggest smile on my face. I go into the bathroom to get ready for the day and find another surprise. There was another rose taped to the mirror with a note in red lipstick: -I love you, babe. - My smile was so big and it was only 9 am.

I finish in the bathroom and go into my closet and find another rose. It was sitting inside a dress with a note: -I hope I can take you to dinner in this dress later. ;) - I quickly got dressed to go find him to thank him for the surprises.

I grab the three roses and head down the hall. I approach the stairs and discover rose petals all down the stairs. I began to wonder if he was still here. I follow the trail of petals into the kitchen where I discover another rose sitting on the counter with another note that read: -Regina, I hope you enjoyed your little surprises. Since you can't see me till later today, I thought I would give you something to do. You just have to answer this question. Where were we standing when I told you that you were quit a good kisser?-

I thought about it and remembered the picture. "The hallway at Granny's." I said with a smile. I grab the roses and head to granny's. I walk through the back door and walk to that exact spot. I then find another rose and note. -Hope you're having fun and stopping to smell the roses :) question 2: where were we when I told you I had the best "sleep" I've had in a long time? ;)-

I picked up the rose and quickly ran to my vault. I open the door and climb down the stairs. I see another note with a rose on the floor. I sit on the stairs and open the letter. -I'm so happy you remember this special memory because it is something I'll never forget. Question 3: where were we when I picked you up off the ground (like the queen you are) and threw you on a bed? :)-

I stood up and look at the wall he pushed me against then picked me up. I see another rose and note. I chuckle because he took the time to do all of this. I pick up the rose and note. -Holding you in my arms is one of my favorite things on the planet. This is one of my favorite memories I have with you, because I was in charge ;) question 4: in what particular place did I give you a page with something more than just the number 23 on it?-

I grab the roses I left on the stairs and ran straight to the library. I open the doors and on the table is another rose and note. -Regina, this is the place where I told you you could have your happy ending and I still believe that. Question 5: where did I give you a heart shaped necklace?-

I smiled and ran back to my house. I open the door to find a rose and a note on the table. It read: -I love seeing that necklace around your neck every day. It puts a smile on my face. Question 6: now, where were we sitting when you looked me in the eye and said you never thought you would have this?-

I turn to the living room to see a rose and a note. The note read: -Baby, you have me and you will never lose me. - I began to cry before even reading the question. -Question 7: where did I tell you what we had was true?-

I wiped the tears off my face that fell and ran to Robin's camp. I approach the camp and see little Roland. He walks up to me and hands me a rose and a note. He didn't say a word. All I could do was smile at him because I was so speechless. The note read: -nothing has ever felt as true and real as being with you. Even being apart for a year didn't change the way I felt about you. Question 8: Where were we when I didn't even have to say I love you because you already knew I did?-

I started crying a little harder, but ran to the town line. There was a rose and a note surrounded by rose petals. I pick up the letter and it reads: -I know this isn't our greatest memory, but it was the first time I wanted to tell you how much I love you, but I was speechless because I didn't want to leave you. Question 9: this is my favorite memory, where did our lips first meet?-

I quickly took my 11 roses and ran to the place where we shared our first kiss.

As I approached I saw the 12th rose and a note which read: -our first kiss is something I will always remember. You pulled me by my jacket and then electricity ran through my body when I felt your lips touch mine. This last one isn't a question, it's a clue.-in big letters it read -I CHOSE YOU.-

I start crying again. I grab all my letters and my dozen roses and ran straight to the bench.

As I walk closer, I don't see anything. I lay down the notes and the roses and look everywhere around the bench. I didn't see anything, but when I turn around all I see is you. I smile as you hand me another 2 dozen roses. I put my nose in them to smell them. I was speechless and still had tears in my eyes. You take the roses out of my hands and set them on the bench. I couldn't help but kiss your lips and hug you.

I kiss you back and squeeze you tight. I whisper in your ear, "Sorry baby, I didn't want to make you cry." I pull away and wipe the tears off your face. I then take your hands in mine.

"It's okay. This has been such a beautiful, fun, and surprising day." She says kissing my lips. "Thank for roses. They are beautiful." She said smiling.

I smile back. "Anything for you."

She smiled that elusive but satisfying smile and I knew this was the perfect moment. I'm so glad I decided to do this for her. I squeeze her hands and smile.

"Regina Mills. Where do I begin? You are the greatest thing that has happened to me. Your smile is my life. Your heart is so bright and has given so much love to me and my son. I love everything about you. The way you strutted into my life and never strutted away. You were always there for me. You have done more for me than I could possibly say. I can hold you in my arms for seconds to hours and never get tired. I could watch you smile while you sleep every night. Your hands I could hold for the rest of my life. You are the love of my life and my soul mate. I couldn't think of any better way to spend the rest of my life other than right here in your arms. Because when I'm with you, my heart beats a little faster and my pulse races. The beauty on the outside is not a match to your inner beauty. You are the most beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, sassy, and most remarkable person. When I feel your touch or your lips on mine, I know that what we have is real. All these notes brought you to places that I feel have significant meaning in our relationship. Our first kiss is something I still think about. The first time I saw all of you and knew that it wasn't a onetime thing. The hallway at granny's when we got caught kissing in the hallway by Henry. I told you that you are quit a good kisser. Your kiss is something I can't resist. The town line is where I wanted to tell you that I loved you, but couldn't find the words, but you already knew. You knew I loved you and that's what kept me going. The library when I handed you page 23. The forest before the curse of shattered sight. You told me you were trying memorize me with love in my eyes. Our home, where we had our first real date and I opened up to you and you opened up to me. We kissed and you pulled away. I thought that you were doubting what we had, but you told me you never thought you would have this. And of course this bench. The bench we say on when I told you I chose you. That I was being honest with Roland because I was following my heart to you. This bench is where you sat every day for a year. This bench is where I found you and surprised you. These memories are things that will forever be in my mind. Baby I love you so much. I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side. Wherever life takes us, going on adventures, making new memories, and sitting in front of a fire reminiscing on the old ones." I wipe the tears off her face then I pull out the ring and get down on my knee. "Regina, will you make me the happiest man alive and be my wife?"

I was in complete shock and tears were falling down my cheeks even after you wiped my face. I wasn't expecting you to propose. I shook my head and smiled. I was finally able to speak. "Yes, baby. I will marry you." Your smile was the biggest and brightest I have ever seen. You placed the ring on my finger and stood up. You picked me up and spun me around as you kissed my lips. You put me back on the ground still kissing. I pull away. "I love you too, baby, more than words could say."
