She was feeling battered and bruised but she was still standing in the middle of the sea posing for pictures. Her hair was damp as she wrapped a strand around her finger and laughed as more pictures were taken. Of course she was having a lot of fun but man she felt rough! For the past 2 weeks she'd gone through tables, been hit with chairs and jumped off of ladders all for the entertainment of the fans. They'd loved every minute of it but of course they'd never understand the sacrifices every superstar had to make. There was only so much they could do before their bodies started to protest against it.

And Summer was beginning to learn her lesson and start to wonder how her brother Jeff managed to do this week after week. He was king of extreme and he'd proven that on Monday on Raw when he'd performed an over the ladder leg drop to outside of the ring on Bradshaw. It had been an extreme few weeks and now it was heading up to Wrestlemania, but first they needed to get this photo shoot out the way.

All of the divas had flown to Jamaica to shoot a new DVD, it had been an extremely fun 3 days and today was their final shoot before heading back home to start Wrestlemania week. They had fan appearances pretty much everywhere, some had TV interviews and there were promos outside the ring for the TLC match which was now huge. Everybody was talking about it because of how much all 3 teams had sold it during both Raw and Smackdown and house shows. Tickets for Wrestlemania sold out in seconds because of the excitement of the TLC match, it had completely gobsmacked Vince but he was proud of how all 3 teams were working hard together to make it work.

Steve had also been extremely busy promoting his match at Wrestlemania as well; he'd teamed with Hunter for the past 2 weeks on both Raw and Smackdown to start the feud. So far it had paid off and the fans were really turning against him, at first it was a shock to be booed but he'd got used to it and now he was really having fun. They'd got a lot planned for him over the next few months and it was going to be extremely interesting to see how it would pan out. But he'd decided to have some time out from everything and follow Summer to Jamaica, he didn't need to do anything though.

He was just lying on the beaches drinking beer and catching a tan, plus watching Summer was also pretty hot. She looked delectable in a bikini and Steve was enjoying the view. He could see her posing in the sea and couldn't help but laugh at her crazy antics as she could really entertain a crowd. Having a good sense of humour was one of the reasons why he loved her so much, he loved having fun and causing mischief and she could always join in. They were a strange and crazy pair but everybody knew they were happy and left them alone to do what they wanted.

"Come on Summer another pose and then we'll wrap it up" The photographer shouted to Summer as a small wave came in making her jump in surprise, it was cold! Jamaica was an extremely warm place but the sea was still cold, especially when you'd been in it for 2 hours! She was starting to shrivel up and wanted to get out now and was grateful when she heard that this would be the last pose before she could change into some clothes. So she posed once more before walking out of the sea and into a towel to dry herself off. The sand felt extremely warm under her feet and she smiled when she saw Steve lying on the sand not too far from where she was standing.

"Looking gorgeous as always darlin'!" Steve called over making Summer laugh and head towards him, he looked damn good in his camouflage shorts and blue t-shirt and sunglasses. "You're looking mighty fine yourself" Summer replied as she stood in front of him and the grin on his face told her he liked the view. She was wearing a purple bikini which really complimented her curvy figure and full tan. The weather had been amazing for the 3 days they were there and Summer spent every opportunity she could to soak up the sun.

"Believe me darlin' you're looking much better than me right now" Steve said slowly standing up so he was in front of her, "At least you're wearing more clothes" Summer replied as she wrapped the towel around her further, she'd really started to feel the cold and was thankful she'd finished for the day. All she had left was a small autograph signing and then she could participate in activities set up by the WWF. They included all kinds of things from gymnastics to paintballing to even water fights; they'd really gone all out with activities for them to do.

And Summer was extremely happy she'd got Steve with her, it had taken some convincing to get him to come along though as he wanted to go home to Texas and back to his ranch. He'd been acting pretty strange lately and Summer hadn't got a clue what it was all about. At first he'd been excited about coming to Jamaica to spend some personal time with her without everybody else hanging around. But then 1 day before they flew out he'd acted peculiar about going and Summer spent hours convincing him to come along.

But once he'd landed he was happy and back to his old self again laughing and having a helluva time watching his special girl have some beautiful photo's taken. But It bugged the hell out of Summer what was bothering him because he was still acting a little strange, he kept denying it but Summer wasn't as gullible as he thought. She was going to get it out of him one way or another and she wasn't afraid to shout at him.

"Darlin' you okay?" Steve asked as he rubbed Summer's arm gently to get her to focus, she was starting to shiver from the cold so he pulled her into his chest and smiled when she snuggled against him, "You gonna speak to me?"

"Sorry babe just lost in thought" Summer replied as she pulled back to look at him,

"What about?"

"Steve are you sure there's nothing wrong?" Summer asked and sighed when Steve pulled away and ran a hand over his bald head, "Darlin' how many times must we go through this?"

"I'm just a little concerned about you that's all"

"Why?"

"Steve you've been acting pretty strange lately and I'm worried, it took me hours to get you to come with me on this trip"

"It didn't"

"Yes it did, you were more than happy a few weeks ago but lately you've been acting very strange and just want to go back to Texas"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Well... nothing but you were excited about coming with me"

"I was"

"So what changed?" Summer asked confused as she stared up at Steve, he wanted desperately to tell her about his marriage proposal but held back from it and remained silent. Summer looked at him hoping he had answers but instead he held back and she could see him shutting down right in front of her eyes. So she just pushed past him to go and get changed, "Summer, baby" Steve called after her but she ignored him and carried on walking towards the changing area to put her clothes back on and get ready for her autograph signing. She couldn't quite believe how Steve was acting lately, it was their anniversary in 2 days and he was behaving like this!

"Asshole" Summer mumbled as she walked towards her little booth to get showered and changed and away from Steve, who was still standing on the beach. She knew he must be feeling bad about this and she knew he wouldn't just pack up and leave, he'd promised he wouldn't hurt her anymore but he was doing exactly that. He'd lick his wounds for a couple of hours and then apologise, this wasn't the first time they'd had an argument and it won't be the last. Summer just sighed and then started to prepare herself for the rest of the afternoon's activities.

She'd signed hundreds of autographs and had more photo's taken with fans and was now extremely tired and wanted to go back to the hotel to sleep. But she still had more activities to do with some of the divas but in a way she was looking forward to it. Amy had flown out to do the diva shoot so Summer was happy to be spending some time with her.

"Summer why are you so down in a beautiful place like this?" Amy asked after noticing Summer was looking so glum while they were waiting to do some rock climbing, they'd been set up in their harnesses and were waiting for the all clear to start climbing.

"Me and Steve had a bit of a disagreement" Summer said as she adjusted her shorts out and then looked at Amy who gave her a sympathetic smile,

"You'll work it out, you always do"

"I'm not so sure"

"Care to explain?"

"He keeps hiding things from me"

"Oh right"

"I know something is bothering him but he refuses to tell me what it is and its really affecting him because he's not been his normal sarcastic self"

"Yeah that is a little unusual, even I've noticed that when I've seen him in and around the hotel... seems to favour his phone a lot"

"What?" Summer asked confused, she'd never seen Steve on his phone all the time he was around her,

"Yeah he seemed to be glued to his phone talking to somebody"

"Did you catch any of the conversation?"

"Not really, just that there was nothing he had to offer or something like that" Amy replied leaving Summer completely confused, he had nothing to offer? What was that about?

"That man get's weirder and weirder" Summer said as she started to climb the rocks with Amy beside her, it was a beautiful evening and they were happy to be relaxing before flying home tomorrow where the madness of Wrestlemania started.

"Don't fret about it Summer, I'm sure he'll come around and tell you what's bothering him"

"I hope so because it's beginning to really piss me off"

"That bad?"

"Yes, he was more than happy to come here with me but a day before we flew out he started behaving oddly saying he'd rather we go back to Texas to his ranch"

"Why would he say that?"

"I don't know but he was adamant that he wanted too, it took me hours to convince him to come with me"

"That is really strange" Amy said as she processed the information Summer had given her, it was a bit of an awkward situation to be in and Amy wished she had answers but this time she didn't.

"So I'm just a bit confused with it all" Summer continued "I just wish he wouldn't clam up and shut down on me because it's so frustrating"

"Just let him get on with it Summer, don't let him bring you down. Look at what's coming up in the next week! Wrestlemania! Your huge TLC match! All of the promos that you've got with your brothers, it should be an exciting time not a miserable time!" Summer listened to Amy and then smiled at her words,

"You're right I shouldn't feel so down"

"See there you go girl! There's so much more in this world besides men" Amy replied making Summer laugh and start to feel better about things, the clouds were lifting away and things seemed brighter.

"I'm sorry Amy I didn't mean to be so down"

"No worries babe, we all have our rough days and I know it's difficult but Steve will come round, there's no way he'll let you go again"

"I'd be devastated if I lost him" Summer said with as much honesty in her voice as possible, her life would be incomplete if she lost Steve there was no doubt about that.

"You won't lose him Summer, maybe you should go and talk to him?" Amy suggested as they'd both reached the top of the wall and had to wait to come back down.

Summer thought about that as she plucked at the rope that was supporting her, "Alright, fine I'll go and talk to him"

"See there ya go" Amy said making Summer smile as they were both lowered to the ground to start climbing the wall again. Summer felt a lot happier now that she'd aired her problems out with Amy, they were becoming good friends and the smile on her face was genuine throughout the rest of the evening.

Summer made it back to her hotel room and felt like flopping down on the bed and falling into a deep sleep. She expected Steve to be in the room but it was empty which did worry her a little bit. She hadn't seen him all evening and wondered what the hell he was doing, but then a sudden surge of panic went through her... had he packed up and flew home? Had he left her here alone?

Summer quickly darted through the room and sighed out of happiness when she saw Steve's bags next to hers. Maybe she was overreacting a little bit; he wouldn't just pack up and leave! She knew he could be a complete jackass at times but there was no way he'd just pack up and ditch her.

"Where are you?" Summer mumbled to herself as she looked around the room trying to find answers to her question, but something caught her eye over by the mirror so she went over to it and saw a note attached to it:

Meet me on the beach

Steve xxxxx

"What?" Summer asked herself as she looked at the note again which Steve had written, how long ago had he written this? He could have been waiting around for hours! So she dropped her bag and quickly headed out the door to try and find where he was.

Steve had been pacing back and forth for about half an hour now, completely filled with nerves and a little excitement. This was it. This was what he'd wanted to do for weeks but could never find the right moment, but tonight he'd found the perfect place and he was just going to do it before it ate him up inside. Steve was finally going to pop the question to Summer, he loved her dearly and wanted to spend every second with her and asking her to marry him was the icing on the cake. Of course he was still terrified of marriage and what could happen between them but he knew Summer was the one, he just knew it!

But right now he was a little worried about whether Summer would show up, she'd been pretty pissed at him earlier because he wouldn't explain himself but he couldn't. He couldn't tell her anything otherwise he'd spoil his proposal so he had to remain quiet. It killed him when Summer walked away from him but he just couldn't say anything, but he saw her earlier with Amy and saw she had cheered herself up.

Hopefully everything would go to plan; he'd be crushed if she said no!

Steve paced along the beach one more time but stopped in his tracks when he saw that Summer was walking towards him. Wearing denim cut off jeans and a cropped pink t-shirt she looked amazing! He could see that she looked a little confused and he couldn't help but grin, "I'm glad you showed up" he called as she headed over and stood in front of him,

"How long have you been out here?" she asked confused and a little worried,

"Not long darlin' don't worry"

"Oh good, I didn't want you to be waiting here for hours" Summer replied and smiled as she admired her handsome boyfriend who was wearing jeans and a crisp white shirt and was bare foot, he looked amazing! But she waited for Steve to speak and was a little confused as he was starting to fidget and shut down again, "Steve what's wrong?" Summer asked making Steve stare at her and he couldn't help himself, he had to get it out.

"Marry me" is all he blurted out making Summer's eyes widen in surprise, "Excuse me?" Steve looked at her and stepped forward and took her hands, "Summer you beautiful mess of a woman I am completely in love with you, marry me and spend your life with me" he was speaking that fast Summer couldn't help but ogle him, was he serious? Was he being serious with her now?

"Oh yeah" Steve added as he sank to one knee in the sand and pulled out a box from his pocket, he pulled it open to reveal a beautiful diamond ring making Summer gasp and put her hands to her mouth in surprise.

"This is why I've been acting so strange lately, I've had this burning question inside me for weeks and couldn't get it out but tonight... tonight Summer darlin' I'm laying it all on the line for you, marriage terrifies me but when I look at you I know that we'll last forever. I want children with you, I want happy memories, I want good times, bad times, fights, make up sex I want it all. Baby you've captured my heart and soul and I want to make you the happiest woman in the world. Marry me darlin' and spend your life with me" Steve looked up at Summer who couldn't stop the tears from falling, he was such a softie!

Those words were beautiful and she couldn't help but say "Yes" over and over again making Steve grin as he slipped the ring onto her finger. Then he stood up in front of her and then pulled her into a hug and spun her around making her life as she kissed every part of his face, "Yes" she said again making him laugh,

"I love you darlin'"

"I love you more" Summer replied as she kissed him deeply and then hugged him once more, he'd finally done it! They were engaged!

"You're so amazing" Summer said as she was placed back on her feet and looked up at her adorable fiancée who was looking sheepish but extremely happy, "I couldn't hold it in any longer, I had to make you mine"

"I'll always be yours" Summer replied making Steve smile down at her, "And this is the perfect location for a proposal and a wedding"

"You want to get married on a beach?" Steve asked very intrigued

"Yes it's a beautiful location and my dream wedding" Summer said as she looked at the sunset which had made the sky turn a beautiful orangey, reddish pink. The sound of the soft waves and the feel of the sand on her bare feet made everything perfect; she would love nothing more than to see Steve standing in front of her like this saying his vows, promising to be her husband till death parted them.

"We can get married now if you like?" Steve suggested making Summer ogle him once more, "I have the money and the power to make that happen"

"Steve slow down! We've just got engaged" Summer replied laughing making Steve laugh with her, "Let's wait a little while and do it right"

"You're right, I'm sorry darlin'"

"It's okay"

"I'm just happy that it's done and we're engaged" Steve said as he took Summer's hand and stared down at the ring on her finger making him grin, "We'll be together forever Summer, I'll do anything to make you happy and to make this work" Summer felt more tears forming at his beautiful words, he was such a softie!

His words were perfect and she wanted nothing more than to make love to him, "I want you to make love to me" is all she whispered in his ear and then looked into his eyes, "Slowly"

Steve smiled and said "Your wish is my command darlin'" then he scooped her up and carried her to the hotel where he could strip her naked and make slow sweet love to her.
