Our Secret Dream 2

The Proposal 💍

Right, I need someone to pinch me right now. Is this actually happening. Today is our 1 Year Anniversary and we are currently enjoying a romantic sunset picnic on the beach in Hawaii of all places. This whole day has been something out of a dream. I have felt like a princess all day. Not to mention at times the child of the devil. To go from a romantic meal, a helicopter ride and then very romantic sunset pic-nic on the beach I couldn't have asked for a more perfect 1 year anniversary.

We have just finished eating, I'd gotten up to watch the sunset my arms around my waist holding Bryan's shirt around my body. Trying to cover myself, not because I'm cold just out of habit. I'm wearing one of my mini sun dresses and some sandals. Bryan has on his dress pants and my favourite white shirt. I should have known he was up to something when I saw how dressed up his was for our date on the beach but it's our anniversary so I just put it down to that.

I hear him cough so I turn around to see him down on my knee before me. My eyes go wide and I look between him and the closed box in his hands. My brain freezing for a moment and making it incredibly difficult for me to process what is actually happening. Once my brain starts to function again I start to put everything together and heart thuds into my chest.
'What are you doing?' I ask my nerves and the thud of my head causing my voice to come out raspy and quite. Bryan's eyes are fixed on mine his nervous smile creeping across his handsome face. The small red wooden box in his hand closed - is he about too...

Bryan 'Skylar Rivers, I have loved you since the first time I saw you here in LA but I knew that I wanted you to always be a part of my life from the moment I saw your first sexy, teasing comment in my live stream. I never knew that the day I first made you a moderator in my chat that I'd later fall madly, insanely in love with you. I guess the world knew that you were the person for me. We have been through so much together in a year and I already know that this, us is everything I could ever want. Forever & Eternity will never be enough time for us to spend together Kitten but I want you and everyone else to know that there will never be anyone else for me. You are my whole world and without you life just doesn't make sense. Before you I was surviving and putting on a fake smile to not only my friends but to my fans. That all changed the moment I met you. You give me so much purpose and strength to make a change in this world, not only for me or you but for Chris and our fandom. I've learnt to fight for my dreams again. Everyday that I wake up to you is another day that I get to fall even deeper in love with you. You are so perfect. You are kind, positive, strong and you work so hard at everything you do that you inspire everyone to do the same.  So, I have something that I'd like to ask you baby. Skylar Rivers, Will you do me the greatest of honours and agree to become my wife. Kitten will you marry me?'

I stand completely still rooted down to the sand beneath my feet. Is this what it feels like to be in shock? Did Bryan actually just ask me to marry him? Oh lord, the world around us has faded away into a distant memory and all I can think about is the rapid thudding of my heart against my rib cage.

As I am lost to this unbelievable moment in time, I try to replay everyone that Bryan just said in his speech. Double checking that he did actually ask me to marry him. I knew that this moment would happen eventually I just never would have guess that the moment would be happening right now. Let alone a year into our relationship. Are we ready to take our relationship to the next level? I know we already live together, practically work together part time and have met some of the family but can we get engaged when all I have seen of his mum is when we have been on FaceTime? Someone from the stars of the moon give me a sign?!??

I can feel the tears stream down my face and I watch him still on one knee, patiently waiting for me to answer. Our eyes locked on each other unable to break away. Letting him know my everything thought and emotion. The thoughts a constant loop inside my head. Is 1 year to early to get engaged? I don't know. All I know is how I feel about him and that's more than enough for me. 'Sky' Bryan nervously whispers from the sand below. I move my hand away from my mouth and smile shyly at him before screaming 'YES. Of course I'll marry you Bryan!'

All the nerves fade away from Bryan and he rushes onto his feet. Pulling me into a hug, He lifts me up and spins me around. I wrap my legs around him to give me more security and to hold my body closer to his. I press my lips to his his before moving my head to rest on his shoulder. 'I can't believe you planned all of this.' I whisper still star struck by everything that happened.
Bryan leans back and looks at me again, pure happiness in his eyes 'Only the best for you my love' leaning in I cover his lips with mine and kiss him passionately. Pouting every emotion and desire I have for him.

We break apart and I get down from Bryan's hold. Putting a tiny bit of distance between us. I watch as Bryan opens the ring box giving me my first glimpse of our engagement ring. My eyes go wide as I take in the white and pink diamond ring before me. It's stunning. It tears all the air from my lungs, demanding my full attention.
The last of the Hawaiian sun hits the diamonds in the ring causing it to glisten and shine in the  light of the sunset. The main Soleste, cushion cut diamond was locked into place with a double halo. First by small pink diamonds and then the white diamonds. The band is white platinum. It looks like the type of ring your would by a future Queen. Though I wouldn't have picked this ring out for myself, it is perfect. It's the most beautiful ring I have ever seen and by far the engagement ring of my dreams.

I watch as Bryan takes the ring out of the box and takes my hand in his. He pushes the ring onto my 'ring finger' making me smile wide when he sets it in place. The ring being the perfect fit. I wiggle my fingers as I stare down at the heavy rock on my finger. The alien feeling that I'd soon grow accustomed too. I look up at Bryan who is watching me intently. 'I love you so much Bryan. I can't believe you had all of this planned. I can't believe that you found me the perfect ring and did all of this without me having any idea. I know that my speech is nothing in comparison to yours but I promise when I say 'I Do' on our wedding day I will blow you away with my vows.' I say still in complete shock. 'I love you Sky. You deserve nothing but the best baby. Including the perfect proposal and engagement ring.'

Bryan takes my left hand in his and together we sit back down on the blanket to watch the last of the sunset. Bryan is sat behind me whilst I am sat between his legs. His arms wrapped around me, our hands intertwined. I lean my head back against his shoulder smiling the biggest smile I have ever smiled before.

As we watch the sun sink beneath the oceans horizon we remain in a peaceful and content silence. Both of lost in the moment of just us.

My mind wonders to the price of my engagement ring the more I appreciate its beauty. I look down at my ring for the hundredth time and try yet again to take it all in. The diamonds alone would have been expensive and I really hope he didn't spend all of his money on a ring. He's been working so hard and he really didn't need to buy me an engagement ring like this. I would have agreed to marry him over a ring pop. I need to make sure he didn't spend too much on this ring, I know when we have talked in the past he's said his budget would be $100k but I thought that would be in 3 years time.

I lean back against Bryan's shoulder again and whisper 'Baby?' I feel Bryan move behind me, tilting my head to the side so I could meet his eye line 'Yes, my love' he replies. 'How much did you spend on this ring?' I ask with a jokiness to my voice. 'Do you really need to know?' I shake my head and then proceed to answer 'I don't need to know, I just wanted to. You know you didn't have to buy me an expensive ring. I would have said 'YES' to a ring pop.' Bryan laughs when I mention how little he would have needed to get me to say YES. 'The ring is worth around $62k but I agreed to a brand promotion for our engagement so I paid around $45k.' I smile and shake my head 'I love it. I love you but you spent way too much money baby.' I say whilst pressing a kiss against his neck. 'I would have spent so much more baby to just find the perfect ring. I love you Sky and I can't wait for the next phase of our relationship.'
