Perfect. Just Perfect.

future. Italics show someone's
thoughts.
When Belle
entered her dorm room that night, she couldn't help but smile. Everything was going great. She was a senior in college, was getting
good grades, and had the perfect boyfriend.
Shawn. Just thinking about him made her heart skip
a beat. He made her feel whole. It was like he was a part of her. She loved him so much, and the amazing thing
was that he loved her back. Totally and
completely. He was her soul mate.
They had
played the just friends game until their junior year in high school. They were crowned King and Queen at the Last
Blast dance. Afterwards, they realized
their feelings for each other. They had
been together ever since.
Belle
smiled at that memory. Most of the time
they were inseparable. Except for that
one time.
It was when
they were freshmen in college. They
were doing pretty good until their old classmate, Jan Spears, transferred to
Salem University. Shawn and Belle had
always hated Jan, and Jan had always had a thing for Shawn. Jan had tried to split them up. She flirted constantly with Shawn, which
made Belle extremely jealous. They
ended up having this big huge fight, and Belle left crying. Shawn ended up coming to her dorm and
singing a song for her saying that he was sorry. That was when he gave her the promise ring that she always
wore. Despite the harsh beginnings of
that particular memory, it always made Belle smile because of the happy ending.
Well,
it's no use thinking about the past now.
I should probably go to be. I
have a big day tomorrow. With that
thought, Belle went to bed.
The next
morning, Shawn woke up with a smile on his face. Today was it. The day he
was going to propose to Belle. Belle.
The love of his life. He had loved her
for so long. And tonight, he would show
her just how much.
He
smiled. Sure, Belle was expecting
something because it was their anniversary, but she wasn't expecting a
proposal.
Yup. Today is a big day.
Hours
later, when Belle was getting ready for their date, she realized that she
didn't know where they were going tonight.
Oh
well. I'll have fun. I always do when I'm with Shawn.
With that
thought, Belle pulled a dress out of her closet that would definitely make
Shawn go crazy.
Shawn was
slightly nervous as he knocked on Belle's door that evening. He knew he didn't have anything to worry
about, but he was still nervous.
Just then,
Belle opened the door and Shawn caught his breath. Belle looked… amazing.
Beautiful. Stunning. Perfect.
She was wearing a pair of light purple heels. Her dress was a form-fitting, short, halter-top dress in the same
color as her shoes. The dress had
purple flowers embroidered on it that were scattered everywhere. Her make-up was done perfectly and her hair
was slightly curled and hung loose around her face.
Belle's
reaction to Shawn was just about the same as his to her. Oh my god. Shawn looks SO hot!!
He was wearing a pair of black pants.
He held a single red rose in his hands.
He had on a royal blue turtle neck sweater that showed off every muscle
and brought out his amazing brown eyes.
Shawn found
his voice first. "Belle. You look amazing, beautiful, and
stunning. Perfect," he breathed.
"Well,
Shawn, don't sell yourself short. You
look great yourself. Are you ready to
go?"
"Yeah, I
am. This is for you," he said, handing
her the rose. "Happy Anniversary. You
deserve it."
She smelled
the rose and smiled at him before saying, "Thank you. Happy Anniversary to you, too.
You also deserve it. Where are
we going anyway?"
"I'm not
telling. You'll just have to trust me
and see," Shawn replied as he and Belle walked out of her dorm room. "Oh yeah!
I need you to put this on." He
pulled out a blindfold from his pocket.
"Why?"
"Just cuz."
"Fine. I'm getting very suspicious Shawn." Belle put on the blindfold and got in the
car. She was really excited. But then again, just being with Shawn always
made her excited.
Shawn was
beginning to get really nervous. What
if Belle doesn't feel the way I do? Oh
that's just not true Shawn, and you know it.
But what if… NO. She loves you. She'll say yes.
Belle felt the
car stop and she realized that they were here.
"Shawn?"
"Yeah,
Belle?"
"Where are
we?"
"You'll
just have to find out for yourself."
With that he got out of the car and helped her get out. He grabbed her hand and they walked a ways
before he reached behind her and pulled off the blindfold. "Happy Anniversary, sweetie," he said as
Belle gasped in surprise and content.
They were
at the park that they used to go to when they were kids. Shawn had set up a picnic at the park. There were candles, food, and a cd
player. "Oh Shawn. You did all of this for me?"
"Belle, I
would do anything for you."
"Thank
you. Thank you so much."
They sat
down and Shawn pulled out some strawberries and whipped cream. He dipped one in the whipped cream and Belle
leaned forward and took a bite. She did
the same with him.
Then Shawn
nervously cleared his throat. "Belle,
there's something I want to ask you." Okay. Here it goes. "We have been together for a long time. Over this time, I have grown to love you
with all my heart and soul. You make me
feel whole. You make me want to be a
better person. You make me happy when
I'm with you. You brighten my day. I miss you when you're not around. I think about you all the time. You're the first thing I think about when I
wake up. You complete me." He dropped to one knee and pulled out a box
from his pocket. He opened it and said,
"Belle, I love you more than words can say.
I want to spend the rest of my life loving you and making you
happy. Will you do me the honor of
becoming my wife?"
"Oh
Shawn. I feel the same way. You are my soul mate. My match in every way. Yes.
Yes! Of course I will marry
you!! I love you Shawn, so much." Belle said this with tears in her eyes, and
she noticed that Shawn was about to cry too.
All of a
sudden, Shawn gave a big whoop, slipped the ring on her finger, and twirled her
around and around in a circle. They
were both laughing. Shawn gently set
her down and looked into her eyes.
Then, he kissed her, this kiss sealing their engagement.
When the
kiss ended, Shawn turned and put a cd in the cd player and turned it on. "Dance with me?"
"Always."
As the two
lovers swayed in the moonlight, they were both thinking, Perfect. Everything is just perfect.
The End
