Maya's alarm went off at a sharp 6:00 because yes she must still workout even when on a beautiful vacation with some of the most important people in her life.
Carina knowing that Maya would be waking up early to workout had planned the night prior to meet up with Meredith and Andy in their room to discuss the proposal plan without Maya being around to possibly over hear.
"Baby I'm gonna go down to the gym and work out. I won't do a full workout so we can have enough time to go on an early morning beach walk just the two of us" Maya said giving Carina a quick peck on the forehead. "I love you bambina" Carina mumbled in her half asleep state.
As soon as Carina heard the door click she jumped up and quickly threw on some clothes so as to run across the hall. Meredith opened the door.
In a quick,jittery, out of breath tone Carina started on with the plan. " Okay so here's the deal Maya will finish her workout at about 7:15 she'll then come to the room and shower so we can go on a beach walk and make it back here by 9 for breakfast and we'll meet up with you guys. I think she wants to do some island shopping and just check the place out. So I figure we'll just do cocktails and some snack type things through the day if that's cool with you guys" " There's a place that has fried shrimp that I've been dying to try since we got here" Andy added "Oh I love fried shrimp" Meredith chimed in. " Guys!! Back to the main topic here" " Okay future misses clipboard" Andy grumbled which received an intimidating glare from Carina. "Anyways we'll do that and come back to the hotel around 3 so we can take a little cat nap." Andy smirked and looked at Meredith " napping isn't the only thing they'll be doing I can promise you that" which was received with laughter from all three women
" We'll then all meet at Valentino's at 7. Andy at this point you will have the ring and then we'll go from there." Carina said running out of breath
"So what is my job in this grand scheme?" Meredith questioned. " Look stunning and be Andy's arm candy. But most importantly record the proposal" Carina replied.
"Well do we get to at least see the ring before we agree to all this? Because you aren't proposing to my best friend with an ugly ring I would be doing her an absolute disservice as her best friend if I didn't speak up and ask to see it before she commits to forever with this thing."
*skip to dinner that night*
" This Tagliatelle is so good" Andy commented. "If you think that's good you should try Carina's it's to die for." Maya stated " ahhhh stop it bambina you are too sweet." Carina said leaning over pecking her lover on the lips for the last time as her girlfriend. Carina could feel her chest tightening she was getting more and more nervous by the second. She knew Maya was going to say yes they had been discussing marriage for months now but still. The building up the anticipation the what ifs? Carina shared a knowing look with both Andy and Meredith and Andy took that moment to pull the ring out of her purse and hold it close in her hand waiting for Carina to start speaking Meredith pulled her phone out to start recording. " What are you doing Mer?" Maya asked laughing slightly. At that moment Carina turned to Maya looking into her steal blue eyes for the last time as her girlfriend knowing her forever person was inches away from her and she was about to ask her to spend the rest of their lives together. Never had Carina been more sure about something in her whole life. She pulled Mayas hands into hers. " What's going on why are you guys acting weird?" Maya asked getting slightly worried.
"I never thought I'd reach this point in life. I never saw a happily ever after. I didn't see the big white dress and a wife but with you.... I'll never forget the first time I looked into your eyes it was such a breath taking moment. I remember thinking wow this person is extraordinary. And I get to wake up everyday looking into your eyes still thinking the same thing. I didn't fall into love with you. I walked into love with you, with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way to be with you. I believe in fate and destiny but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose to do anyway. And I'd choose you in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in a hundred universes, in any version of reality I'd find you and I'd choose you. So today I'm doing just that I'm choosing you because I'm so madly in love with you Maya. Will you Marry me?" Andy slid the ring across the table.
Carina got on one knee and between sobs Maya got out a simple " yes, yes of course I'll marry you" Carina placed the ring on Mayas finger and kissed her with passion neither of them had ever felt before. At that moment they were the only two in the restaurant.
Swept up in all the love Meredith looked over at Andy and placed her hand on the underside of her cheek and pulled her in for a soft sweet and tender kiss. both pulled away seconds later " Wow that was unexpected" Andy stated
"I'm so sorry I didn't mea-" Meredith started " No don't" Andy said pulling her in for a deeper more meaningful kiss.
" HEY!! WOAH!!! HEY!!!" Maya shouted " I missed a whole chapter here. When did this? what even is this?" Maya and Carina questioned " You haven't even finalized your divorce"
"First of all he cheated" Andy replied " Secondly I don't know it was a first and I don't know anything about what I'm feeling right now except that I hope it happens again" she said turning to Meredith
" Oh this will most definitely will happen again. As long as its okay with you. You're fresh out of a relationship and I mean obviously take things slow I have kids and ya know also the fact that neither of us knew where this came from" Meredith said smiling
"Well congratulations guys!!!!" commence the celebrations!!!!!
