Molly was looking out towards the Moroccan sunset on their balcony. It was their final night in Marrakech and they had booked to go to an Italian restaurant within the resort. Molly was in an Embellished Neckline Drop a Dress Size Bodycon Dress from Mark's and Spencer's which hugged her figure perfectly, she also wore pointed toe flats. Charles was in their bathroom using the mirror to finish perfecting himself so he was ready for their final night out.
Molly was reflecting on the past 2 weeks that had flown by so quickly, she thought it was all just a dream. The first week involved a bit of sightseeing. On different days, they had tours around The Souks (a famous Moroccan market in the Old Medina (Old City Walls)) and a bit of shopping there while also looking at different spices and oils in a small medical centre with their group of other tourists from their resort. That took half a day so they then spent the rest of it by the pool. The next day they went to the Majorelle Garden which Yves Saint Laurent owned and where his gravestone is; it took the French painter Jacques Majorelle 40 years to create the garden. Nearby was the town of Guéliz where they learnt how olives were made and a bit of history about Morocco by their tour guide; which again took half a day so they spent the rest of the day by the pool. They had a break from any trips the next day and it involved sunbathing, swimming, eating and drinking. The day after they went on a 4x4 trip to the Atlas Mountains where they seem some beautiful views of Marrakech, half-way up the mountains. That was where they stopped off for lunch and took loads of photos of the landscape and a couple of cheeky selfies. They then went back down the mountain but a different way this time where they seen a variety of small waterfalls. That took the whole day so in the evening, they got ready to go out to the all-inclusive restaurant where there wasn't a specific dress code, but because it was always really hot, they wore shorts and thin tshirts most of the time. The day after they spent 3 hours on the same quad bike, travelling around the Sahara Desert and they saw and visited a suburban village where the citizens were incredibly friendly and Molly and Charles and a small group of other tourists were offered mint tea and a pancake covered in syrup and sesame seeds - which Molly thoroughly enjoyed. They then went the same route back but this time managed to take some photos because the tour guides said they had time to spare. They parked up the quad bike and got back on the minibus that took them and their group back to their resort. That also took the whole day so the did exact the same in the evening. The second week was full of sunbathing, swimming, eating and drinking, walks on the beach, spending time in the bedroom, playing table tennis, volleyball, cricket and pool. Molly was thoroughly happy with thrashing Charles at table tennis and pool.
After Molly reminisced the past couple of weeks, Charles walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around Molly's waist which made her jump, "frickin' hell Charles you scared me."
Charles smiled, "you look beautiful."
"Thanks. Let's see what you look like yourself then handsome."
Charles released his arms from around Molly's waist and she turned around and gawped. Charles was wearing a pale yellow shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a pair of denim shorts and a pair of black Toms. Molly walked towards him and rested her hands on his chest, "have I ever told you how lucky I am?"
"Yeah, but it wouldn't hurt to hear it once more." Charles smiled and winked.
"Stop fishing for compliments."
Charles put his hand on his heart and pretending to be shocked, "me? I would never!"
"Course," Molly winked, "ready?"
"Yeah. Don't know how I'll be able to keep my hands off you though." Charles winked.
"Ditto." Molly replied.
They left their hotel room and walked to the restaurant which wasn't very far from their room.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Charles just finished paying the bill as he kept on insisting to Molly that he would pay for the meal - as he had done with everything else about their holiday. Charles clasped Molly's hand into his own and wanted to go for a late night stroll across the beach for their last night. They kept on walking until they were right in the middle of the beach and faced the sunset, not talking, just staring. The sun was just about to finish setting, 'this is the time and place so where are they?' Charles thought to himself as he was getting more and more agitated. It wasn't until he looked behind him and he seen two people put their thumbs up to him, and Charles nodded sharply in return with a small smile on his face.
He turned to face Molly, gently took both of her hands, she faced him and he went on one knee, "listen Molls. Being in the same room as you makes my heart explode, I lose my breath, I stare, I gawp. As you already know," Charles chuckled and Molly smiled, "when we touch, I feel a spark all round my body, you're the life of my party. When Valentine's Day, your birthday, Christmas and any other special dates come around, I'll always try to compete with myself to make the day better than the last year. I'm always afraid that one day, I will fail you, and that'll be our relationship over, that can't happen Molls. When I first met you, I couldn't look you in the eye. That's why I was so mean towards you and on the second glance we took at each other, I was trying to warn you to stay out of my way, that I needed to focus on the whole platoon, not just one beautiful medic that can mess around with my head, but you didn't follow that order, and I'm glad you never did follow any orders otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today. Even if we're thousands of miles apart, I'll still love you more than the day before, and that day before that. There are many ways to be happy in life, but all I really need is you. Life offers many challenges, but with each other by our sides, I know we can face them together." Charles started biting his bottom lip, he opened up a box from his back pocket. Inside it was a 9ct white gold diamond engagement ring, "so Private Molly Dawes, will you marry me?"
Molly stood still for what seemed like an eternity to Charles. Suddenly, Molly started nodding vigorously and Charles jumped up and hugged her tightly, "yes. Yes of course I will Captain Charles James!"
"Thank you so much Molly, I thought I nearly made a fool of myself then!" Charles laughed as he shakily took the ring out of the box and slid it on Molly's finger, "come with me, I need to show you something."
Charles walked over to the two men behind the wall he looked at previously, and standing there to Molly's surprise there were two cameramen. One was a photographer taking photos, my the other recorded the whole thing, "oh my god! Charles you didn't. Now I can get to see your reaction over and over again."
"Ah I see, so your everlasting pause was planned? For you to fool me?"
"Obviously I didn't pre-plan it, I've just always wanted to do it, don't know why to be honest with you."
"Well at least you said yes!" Charles gave the two cameramen some money and took the film from inside the video camera and the memory card from the photographer. Molly stood on tiptoes and kissed Charles on the cheek.
Charles led Molly by her hand back towards their room, where they would have a heavy and fun-filled night.
Most if this was written at 2:30am this morning, so apologies for any mistakes I've made! And it's been ages since I uploaded! Let me know if you want maybe 1 or 2 more chapters and if you would like to see something in it, or maybe just something crucial that I've missed out, they will be slow updates though! Just warning you now;))
The wedding proposal speech included searching up how to propose to someone, as I have I no idea how it's done - I'm only 15.. :')
But Merry Christmas to everyone that celebrates it, and if I don't upload before the new year, have a happy new year and a good 2016!
