"Paisley." Luke whispered softly. I felt his breath fan against my face which probably meant his face was right in front of mine.

"Hm?" I mumbled and felt his arm next to me so I searched for it and clung onto him.

"Wake up sleepyhead." He said and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"Why are you always waking up so early?" I asked sleepily and curled up in a ball next to him.

"You just wake up so late so it seems like I get up early. C'mon wake up I want to show you something." He said and picked me up and started walking towards the door.

"Wait I have to pee." I said and tried to escape his grip so I could go to the bathroom.

"Hurry up." He said and sat on the foot of my bed while I headed to the bathroom.

  I quickly went to the bathroom, fixed up the nest that was on top of my head, splashed some water over my face, and brushed my teeth. When I walked out, still pretty sleepy, Luke swiftly took my hand and led me downstairs.

  He was smiling like a big idiot the entire walk down the stairs which was making me nervous, but also excited. I don't know what he did, but he must be pretty proud of it if he was so smiley about it.

  He walked me through the living room after we hit the bottom of the stairs and then led me into the dining room. The entire table was filled with different bouquets of flowers, and it was a pretty large table. My jaw dropped at the beautiful variety of flowers that was sitting in front of me.

  I slowly walked over to the table-in slight disbelief that he actually got me this many flowers-and went over to smell them. I've always loved flowers, and I think I've only mentioned it once to him when we were at the park a month or so ago.

"Luke what- you- this is so many flowers." I stuttered out and held one of the petals in between my fingers as I looked at every single one.

"You said you loved flowers." He said and walked up next to me with a smile on his face as he looked at me.

"I do, I love these thank you so much." I said and held his hand that was hanging next to me and leaned my head against his arm.

"You're welcome sweetheart." He said softly and kissed my temple.

"What's this?" I asked and saw a small piece of paper in one of the bouquets of flowers.

"I dunno." He said and shrugged his shoulders, but held a cheesy smile which made me a bit suspicious.

  I unfolded the thick piece of card stock and saw his messy hand writing scribbled on it. 'Will you be mine? Circle yes or no' I couldn't help but laugh at him for being a dork yet again. I looked around to find a pen and evidently found one on the table in front of me. I quickly circled 'yes' and handed him the paper with a smile on my face.

  He unfolded the paper and looked down to see which one I circled. He smiled down at the paper almost instantly and then looked at me with that same adorable smile. He was so cute and now he's mine, and I'm his.

  He brought one of his hands up to my face to cup my cheek while he looked into my deep brown eyes. I felt the pad of his thumb softly graze itself over my cheekbone, sending my heart into a frenzy. I watched his eyes move from mine to my lips, back up to my eyes, and down to my lips again as he softly smiled.

  He slowly leaned his face towards mine and carefully rested his other hand on my hip. I wrapped my arms loosely around his waist and stepped closer to him while going up on my tippy toes like I always did when I kissed him. He even had to lean down too because I was so short compared to him, but that's his fault.

  When his soft lips finally and gently placed themselves over mine I felt fireworks explode throughout my whole body. Our lips moved in perfect synchrony as we held each other close and just enjoyed the touch of the other person. I was truly addicted to him in every possible way. His kisses were always so soft, so gentle, and just truly truly breathtaking, he was truly truly breathtaking.

  He slowly detached our lips for a brief second before kissing me shortly after yet again. Then once he pulled away he kissed the tip of my nose, each of my cheeks, and then my forehead before resting his head on my shoulder and hugging my waist tightly.

"You're mine Paisley." He said, sounding like he almost didn't believe what he was saying was actually real. But it was real, and sometimes I find it unbelievable.

"And you're mine." I said and turned my head and kissed the back of his head before embracing him once again.
