Ariayes (sequel)

Chapter 10 | I'm Coming Home

Aria's p.o.v.

"Hayes." I say, barely above a whisper. A tear rolls down his cheek as we embrace in a hug.

"I missed you so much! My life was hell without you!" He says into my shoulder. My wet tears fall into his shoulder, leaving smudges of water on it.

"M-me too..." I say, crying more. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him tighter.

"Remember when you called me the day you were taken?" He asks, looking at me.

"Yes of course!" I say, leaning my forehead in his.

"Well you can say it now..." He says. Of course I remember. The day I was taken, hayes told me not to say I love you back until he saw me and I was safe. God he was so amazing.

"I love you too." I say, a tear falling. He leans down and kisses me, making it feel like the first time we kissed. All of a sudden I hear a cough from behind us. I look over Hayes's shoulder to find an awkward Nash.

"Hey Aria... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you the day Matt came." He says, looking at me sadly. Oh no here come the water works again...

"Nash it's not your fault! It was so brave of you to stall like that! Don't you dare think it was your fault!" I say, hugging him shortly. The policeman who stayed behind said we should get going. We head to the car and I realized that my life was perfect. We arrived at the airport within an hour and were boarding a plane in no time. Hayes and I sat next to each other, never leaving each other lonely. Without Hayes, my life would be so plain and I'd probably be in school still working on some degree that I never really wanted. He was my all in all. And I'm so glad to have him back.

"Aria are you ready?" Hayes asks from downstairs.

"Yes I'm coming just hold on!" I smile, putting my lipstick on. I stood back and took one final glance in the mirror. My black dress fell to a little above my knees, showing off my curves. My make up was done perfectly by the one and only Haley who came to visit with taylor and their daughter Ava Rose. I quick smiled to myself and walked down the steps.

"Woah..." He says staring up and down my body.

"What?" I ask, twirling around.

"You look beautiful... You know in a way where I want to rip that dress off you right now... But yea beautiful." He says, biting his lip.

"Thanks... I guess." I smile, I walk over to the door and put my black high heels on. He grabs my hand as we walk out to his car. He quickly runs to the other side and opens the door for me.

"For you madam..." He says, doing a bow. I curtsy and giggle back in reply. He walks over to his side and we head to this mystery destination. We arrive only 13 short minutes later. He leads me to this area and then stops me all of a sudden.

"What?" I ask as he stands in front of me.

"Close your eyes." He says, going back behind me. He covers my eyes and then a few minutes later he stops me again.

"What now?"

"Take off your shoes." He says, I obey and hold them in my hand. Suddenly my feet hit sand and I smile.

"Hayes, I swear if you kill me-"

"You can open them." He says, letting his hands go. As soon as I saw the sight in front of me, my hands immediately flew up to my mouth.

"Hayes it's perfect!" I say, looking at the view. It was dark out, lights were set up perfectly and cast a romantic glow on the table. There was a dinner set out for us which looked AMAZING! It was so perfect.

"Shall we eat?" He asks, pulling a chair out for me.

"We shall..." I reply, smiling uncontrollably.

Hayes's p.o.v.

My hands were shaking like crazy. I was so nervous, I'm surprised she hasn't noticed my weird behavior yet. We sit and eat and just talk and talk for an hour. This is it. My moment.

"A-Aria?" I ask. She looks up from her food and looks at me.

"Yes?" She smiles. God.

"Listen. We've been together since the 8th grade and I just got you back. I love you with all my heart and I always will. You lighten up my days and when Matthew took you, I couldn't take it. Knowing what he did to you? No woman should ever be treated like that. When I'm with you, you drive me crazy! But when I'm not with you, it drives me even crazier. Aria, I love you. Our relationship has gotten serious and I think it's time to take the next step. Aria... Well what I'm trying to say... It's... Aria Rose Whitam. Will you marry me?" I ask, pulling out the ring I got for her. I slide it on her finger, she looks at me and starts tearing up.

"Of course Hayes! Yes, yes, yes! Everything you said describes my feelings perfectly. I love you! You are my all in all, I ant even put it into words on how much I love you! God Hayes, your perfect. Benjamin Hayes Grier- or Hayes Benjamin Grier, whatever it is, I will gladly want to be your wife." She says, tears falling from her eyes.

"Oh my god. I'm not your boyfriend anymore..." I smile, kissing her softly.

"You're my fiancé..." She says, wiping the tears away.
