It was really quiet in the hotel room that Daniel Bryan shared with his longtime girlfriend, Brie Bella, who was already asleep in the huge king sized bed. Daniel, on the other hand, was wide awake and he couldn't help but to observe his girlfriend as she lay resting in his embrace.
Inhale, exhale. Brie's chest arose and fell with each breath she took. The smell of her fresh honeysuckle shampoo lingered in the air as Daniel held her. She looked ravishing in the moonlight that shone through the hotel room window, with her chocolate-brown waves of hair disheveled around the pillow. Her skin was a very pale white, almost ghostly as if she would disappear in seconds. The bearded man tightened his muscular arms around her, and smiled to himself. He truly cherished Brie. She was his soul mate, his true love, his other half; all the clichés rolled up into one.
Daniel wasn't questioning Brie's love for him, not at all, he just hoped she felt all that and some more for him. After all, what was the point of one-sided love? But he knew that she loved him back. They had talk about marriage, and having kids, and just painting a future outside of the WWE together. It was what he wanted, and she wanted it too.
It's not like Daniel had been in a lot of other relationships, but the ones he had been in weren't too serious. Nothing more than a couple of dates, and then he would say that the girl was too different and it wouldn't work out. But with Brie, everything was different. He felt complete, for lack of a better word, and he felt at home.
He knew he was being cheesy and corny, but come on, what man wouldn't marvel if he had a mate like Brie? She was perfect, in every single way, and that's why he couldn't take his eyes off her in this moment. That's why he was watching her in her sleep, wondering what in the world she could be dreaming about and hoping that she was dreaming about him.
Daniel knew that he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life, and that Brie Bella, was in fact the one for him. He tightened his hold around her slender waist, and that's when her eyes fluttered open. She smiled at seeing Daniel's sleepy face.
"Is something wrong?" Brie asked as she propped herself up on her elbow beside her boyfriend. Daniel chuckled, of course she would think that something is wrong. She was always so caring about other people and hardly thought of herself. She was a beautiful person; inside and out.
"Nah." Daniel answered. "I was just thinking." He added.
"Thinking?" Brie questioned as she ran her small hand through his beard. "About what?"
"You." Daniel breathed, answering her question with a simple answer.
Brie laughed, "Good thoughts, I hope."
"They are." Daniel reassured.
"Care to share?" Brie asked.
Daniel shrugged, "Just that I love you." He answered simply again.
"I love you too." She replied. "Now, come on, there has to be more than that." She teased. "What else were you thinking about?"
"I was just thinking, that Brie," Daniel started. "I want to marry you." He finished and it was quiet in the luxurious hotel room. Brie didn't know what to say. "Did you hear me?" Daniel asked as he looked over at his longtime girlfriend.
"Y-Yeah, it's just... I wasn't expecting that." She replied quietly.
"I've been thinking about it for a while now." He said.
"Oh my gosh, Daniel, are you proposing right now?" Brie asked as stared into her boyfriend's eyes. Where was this all coming from? Did he magically just have a huge realization while she was sleeping?
"I guess I am." Daniel replied with a small smile. "Brie, will you marry me?" The bearded man asked.
"Of course." Brie answered as she pulled her significant other in for a chaste kiss.
