"Bianshay by Request"
What? You don't like my cliffhangers? LOL!
I wrote a lot this month, as a matter of fact, I have written over half a million words for Emaya&Bianshay Fanfiction in just a year and a half.
I would love to update everyday but that's just not humanly possible. I do what I can and I truly appreciate your patience! ;)
So, let's find out if there will be "I do's or I don't's"…

We turn our backs to each other. We take out our gifts. We take a deep breath and let it out slowly. At the same time we turn around, at the same time we drop to one knee, at the same time we open a blue velvet box, and at the same time we ask,
"Will you marry me?"
Chapter 24: The Proposals
Bianca POV
I hear myself say the words but did Shay just say the words too! Is this really real? Did we just ask each other to get married at the same time?!
Our heads rise slowly. Our eyes are all aglow. Our tear ducts create moisture. The corners of our mouths turn up. I tilt my head in disbelief that she asked the same question not because I know how it gets to her when I tilt my head but because I can't believe we are so in sync! I look at the ring in the box she's holding, it's beautiful it's exquisite it's perfect and most importantly it's from Shay…
Shay POV
Did she just ask me to marry her? Oh my god! I can feel the tears welling up! I can feel my heart pounding with love and excitement! And for a split second I think, I almost fucked this whole thing up! She was going to ask me this whole time! But I had to be selfish and I could've lost her and this moment forever!
Oh! The ring! The cut, the carats, the color, the clarity, absolutely perfect! Perfect because it's from Bianca!
Bianca POV
We laugh and we hug and we kiss! My arms are wrapped around her neck and her arms are wrapped around my waist. I kiss the tip of her nose and we smile. I kiss her lips softly, warming them.
I look into her eyes, my voice a bit shaky and I ask, "Shay Mitchell will you marry me?"
She in turn, takes a quick breath and asks, "Bianca Lawson will you marry me?"
Our smiles could light up the world as at the exact same moment, we look deeply into each other's eyes and give a resounding, "Yes!"
The tears roll down our faces frosting our cheeks with tiny crystals as the sun makes them sparkle almost as brightly as the diamonds on our rings. The rings!
"Shay baby, let me have your hand."
We take off our gloves and she places the ring she got for me on top of them.
I take her left hand slipping the diamond over the appropriate finger. It gently glides to the place it will remain for the rest of our lives! And with it a most perfect fit! It truly belongs there!
"I love you baby."
Kiss.
"And I love you."
Kisses.
She gazes at the ring, holding her hand up watching it radiate against the sun's rays.
"You were made to wear that," I say.
"I was made to wear this but only coming from you," she bites her lower lip letting it slowly slip away from her clutch.
We kiss sweet soft kisses.
"Oh B! I love it! I love you. I love you so much. I'm yours."
Kiss.
"Okay B, now it's my turn to give to you."
I release my hand to her and she slips the ring she got for me on my finger. It's an almost exact replica only a different shape. Hers is a round cut, mine is a princess cut.
"I love it baby! It's exactly what I would've picked for me."
"I'm glad you like it cuz I was originally gonna give you that jacket you're wearing! And I'm so glad I didn't!"
We can't stop laughing! Minutes pass, my sides are aching, that is, until our laughter finally subsides and Shay takes that moment to smother my mouth with her kisses.
I gently push her away, "Wait a second. This wasn't your original gift for me?" I stare at the ring then look at her smiling because she's so freaking adorable!
We sit back on our heels…
"No it wasn't. B, I knew when I decided to fly back to LA that something was missing. That something was this ring on your finger. I was on my way to the airport when it hit me. I had to get off that shuttle so I pulled the brake hard, so hard, I think everyone stumbled forward then back! I flew down the stairs and ran across the street! I came to a skidding halt as there it was, in the window this whole time begging me to buy it! I knew as soon as I saw it, that I had to have it, I had to take a chance that you would want to take this next step with me."
"Oh baby, I've known for a while now that I've wanted to take this next step with you and I'm so glad you feel the same way," I gently caress her face.
"I do."
"Yes, you do. And you will remember to say those words when you marry me!" I jest.
"I will. I love you so much B," she gushes.
"Come on," I take her hands and we help each other up because we're freezing from kneeling in the snow but it was so worth it!
Our gloves back on, our arms wrapped around each other, our lips meeting to confirm our commitment to one another, a commitment we plan on for life.
"Ahem," Daniel politely interrupts. "Would you like a picture to capture this auspicious moment?"
"Oh thank you Daniel, that would be wonderful," we hand him our cell phones.
"You'll have to take off the left gloves," he smiles.
"Oh right!"
We each take off one glove. We face each other. I slip my fingers under hers and she curls hers under mine so both of the rings show clearly. We look at the camera and smile. We look at each other and we kiss…
"With that background and the two of you, the pictures came out beautiful!" Daniel enthuses.
We snuggle close stepping up into the sleigh readying ourselves to be taken away from this most memorable scenery!
She spreads the blanket over our laps, gloves back on. Arms entwined. Lips kissing…
"Shay?"
"Yeah B."
"There's more that I wanted to say to you."
"More? Okay," she says giving me her undivided attention.
I clear my throat and begin to tell my tale of falling in love with someone I never expected to fall in love with…
"Shay, we held onto a secret for some time. A secret of emotions. A secret that needed to be told in a different way. So we told our secret to our mouths with a kiss and another kiss and another kiss instead of telling it to our ears with words and more words and more words. I wanted to tell you that secret for a while. And I think you had the same secret you wanted to tell me. It was burning a hole through your soul. I could feel the scorch marks you left behind and I knew. I knew the burning secret we had to tell together…"
I can feel her love for me with every word I say…
"At times, I thought I wanted this feeling to slow down but it wouldn't. Every time I saw you smiling, it filled me with a feeling I never felt before. And when I couldn't hold it in any longer, I gave that feeling to you. Everything you do just makes me fall a little more in love with you. You are the reason for my smile. It's amazing how every day you make me feel so good."
I breathe in and out slowly making sure to take my time to find the right words…
"And then there's that word. Love. All my life I've read about it, dreamt of it, waited for it, cried for it, needed it. Now with you, I've found it. What good is beauty without brains, looks without charm, money without happiness, a smile without feelings, and a life without you? I feel you in my heartbeat, I find you in my thoughts, I see you even with my eyes closed, I miss you without reason, but mostly, I love you as you are."
As the sleigh glides across the packed snow, Shay's emotions say it all. She tries to speak but her mouth shivers and her lip quivers. Her eyes gloss with teardrops reflecting the feelings of love we share. I kiss her under her ear. I kiss her cheek. I kiss her trembling lips soothing them with my own releasing her from her emotional burden.
"She pulls away slightly if only to say, "I'm okay. I, I'm so spoiled by your love. Everything you said is everything I feel. I didn't think I could love you anymore than I already do but I was wrong. Oh B, I love you with every beat of my heart and every whisper from my soul. You are the only one I could ever love and I want to be the only one you could ever love."
She cups my face with her gloved hands and kisses me longingly.
As our lips part I say simply, "I love you baby, only you."
But she turns serious, "B, can I tell you something?"
I smile with an endearing head tilt because I know she's going to attempt to speak from her heart though I'm not sure if she'll get through it. But I'll let her try…
"B," she giggles and it's so cute! "B, I've had a little secret too. I had a mad little crush on you," she giggles some more and it's just so adorable! "I wondered if you noticed. I wondered if you could tell. I wondered if one day you would want to dance with me."
There are no more giggles. I listen to her. I feel her words and how much they mean for her to say them to me…
"And when you walked away during season one, I was like, I need to see you; I need one more glance of you. But I was too afraid to wonder out loud what my chances would be with you. I knew I was crushing on you but I didn't know I was falling in love with you too."
I'm about to say something but she stops me because she doesn't want to get lost in her emotions again. I nod silently encouraging her to go on…
"I thought about you more than I ever imagined I would. And when you came back for season two, I looked at you and a rush of feelings flowed through me making my heart beat again. I felt like a little kid whose eyes light up at Christmas time," she looks down and back up again. "B, I'm stuck on you. I didn't know how to handle myself around you. I was so nervous all the time. I thought I should just give up on these feelings, stop trying. But then you'd look at me and smile with that damn head tilt of yours," we both giggle, "and just like that you make my heart beat again, pulling me right back in and I knew that there was no way I'm letting this feeling go. That feeling, in my gut, that needed your fire in my heart to ignite my love for you. I love you so so much."
Her head drops again and I lift her chin needing her to look at me as she continues to pledge her love for me…
"I thought…where has love been all my life? I was looking for the answer to a question that didn't exist. I couldn't find love because I already had it, with you."
I attempt to say something, "Baby…"
But she doesn't let me, instead, she says exactly what I was thinking, "It just gets better every second we're together. You and me, it feels so right. Our new beginning, it starts tonight..."
We cuddle into each other, me resting my head on her shoulder and she resting her head against me just enjoying the sleigh ride back to the lodge while our words sear forever onto each other's hearts…
