Only Time Will Tell

we fell in love in october

It is finally the month of October, and it just so happens to be my favorite one. This year is going by so insanely fast, it's scary.

Today was going to be a busy day, I've been planning today for a while with the help of Scarlett and the twins. I'd managed to get up early enough to make breakfast before Liz woke up, I want today to go perfectly.

"Good morning sunshine." I quietly say while sitting the breakfast on the table.

Liz slowly sits up, allowing herself to adjust to the light. "Aww, thank you. What is this for?"

I smile widely at her reaction, "Today is a special day, Ive prepared you this amazing breakfast, then we have a bunch of places to go."

"I'm excited!"

"That's good, I'm excited for you to see what I have planned." I say while giving her a kiss on the cheek.

She raises an eyebrow, "Well, what do you have planned exactly?"

"That's for me to know and for you to find out." I wink, knowing I'm using her own words against her.

Liz puts her hand to her chest, acting hurt. "Wow, using my own remark against me?"

"Yup."

As we arrive at the lake, I could see Liz's eyes widen in excitement, causing a dark red to spread across my face.

"Come on!"  She exclaims, taking my hand. Well that definitely made my heart skip a beat.

All I could do was smile at how happy she was. "Baby, we have to go get the swans."

She gasps, "Swans?"

I nod, intertwining our fingers again. "I rented out a boat for the lake."

I could see her bite her lip to hold back a smile, it was so heartwarming to see her this excited.

"It's okay, my love. Just take my hand.

We'd finally gotten to the pier, and Liz was extremely nervous to get in the peddle boat.

She slowly nods, taking my hand as I help her inside. "See, that wasn't so bad."

Once I'd finished putting on our lifeguards, I made sure everything was secure before we started. "Okay, so just put your feet here and peddle like it's a bike, alright?" 

"Okay."

As we started peddling, I took a quick glance at her reaction, it made my heart flutter at how widely she was smiling. "Look!" She yells while pointing at the rainbow colored water fountain and baby ducks.

All I could do was stare in awe at her, completely lovestruck. "Y/n? What's wrong?" I hear her ask me, releasing me from my trance.

I smile, taking her hand. "Nothing.. this is just perfect. You're perfect." Before I could say anything else, I was shut up by a heated, affectionate kiss. Much like our first one, but it seemed different.

"I love you, Y/n Feige."

"I love you more."

She shakes her head with a smile, "Not possible."

Time really does fly by when you're having fun. After our boat ride, I took Liz to this amazing street food and we were now onto my next suprise. "Close your eyes love." I say while putting my hands over her eyes.

"Where are you taking me?" She eagerly ask.

"Remember what I told you earlier?" I hear her grunt, which causes me to chuckle.

-

"Now, open."

I see her eyes shimmer in the sun as she takes in her surroundings, "This is so cool!" Her excitement made me more than overjoyed. just when I thought I couldn't fall in love with her anymore, she continued to prove me wrong. "Let's go!" I say, taking her hand and leading her to the hot air balloon.

The pilot spent about 20 minutes explaining everything, including safety precautions and info about the ride.

"Ready?" I ask her while taking out my hand to help her inside the basket. "Ready as ever."

We had to wait a few minutes for the pilot to check everything and get us in the air. "Oh god, y/n." Liz squeezes my hand tightly as we go into the air.

I see her expression change from nervous to excited as we get higher into the air. "Look!" She happily taps my arm, pointing to the city beneath us.

There were times where I had to stop and take a few glances at her, she was so effortlessly beautiful. I couldn't help but admire how her hair flowed through the air, how the sun reflected on her emerald green eyes, everything about this girl had me crazy in love.

"That was so fun!" Liz exclaims.

Taking her hand,"I'm glad you liked it. Come on, I have one more spot to show you."

To end this perfect day, I decided to take her to see the view of the city. Leading her up the mountain and stairs, I see her eyes beam with excitement, the smile never leaving my face as I watch her reaction. "This is so beautiful, Y/n."

To be quite frank, I didn't care about anyone else or the view in front of me, I was only looking at her. Nothing brought me more joy than to see her happy. She has my whole heart.

"I-uh-I knew you liked views like this, from when you took me to see the city in New York."

She sighs, reminiscing on the past events. "I can't believe that was almost a year ago."

"Back then, I never would've thought I'd be with the girl of my dreams right now. I explain, caressing her knuckles. "It feels like a dream."

She plants a gentle kiss on my forehead, putting both my hands into hers. "I can assure you, this is not a dream sweetheart."

At this moment, both of our foreheads are touching, fingers intertwined with eachothers, and the absolute perfect view. She was my soulmate, and I was hers. The love I have for her is like no other, and I wouldn't trade this feeling for the world. Nothing was going to break us apart.

"I'm the luckiest person alive." I murmur.

"We both are."

"Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Robbie. Do you understand the plan?"

"I do."

"Good, then let's get started."
