"Mhh, do you hear that?", I stroke his nape.
"What?", he raises a brow.
"Exactly, nothing. There's nothing and no one here. We're all alone."
"I like that. We can finally do it again and let me tell you that I won't hold back. I couldn't even touch you when we were with my parents. My balls are turning blue.", he starts kissing down my neck.
"How about we go out first and get some dinner? I'll even wear my red lingerie for you."
"How could I say no to that.", he releases me and disappears into the bathroom.

"The pasta was really good, thank you.", I hand my plate to the waiter.
"That's good to hear. Can I get you anything else?", he politely asks.
"No, just the bill.", Emilio responds. He seems so cold that it makes me laugh.
"Alright, I'll be back in a second.", he nods.

Afterwards we went to the beach. The sun is setting. It looks absolutely stunning.
My mind is blank.
Feeling his warmth and this soft breeze is the best feeling imaginable.
A few years ago I would've never thought that I'd be married by now. I got hurt by boys and took care of my family my entire life, I didn't have the nerves and time to care about boys. I believed that this time would be no different, but Emilio makes me feel the safest and happiest I've ever been.
I don't believe in destiny, but luck.
I'm just a lucky girl.
"Thank you, for bringing me here.", I look at him and then continue to watch the horizon.
"Eliana.", he says in a calm, warm voice. My eyes search for his, when they finally lock.
"You make me the happiest man alive. I've never done this before, I have been waiting for the right one to do this with and when I saw you for the first time. I just knew. You are the person I want to spend my life with. You are the person who will be the mother of my children. And you are the one who changed my life.", he slowly kneels down and pulls a black box out of his back pocket.
"Emilio, what are you doing?"
"Will you stay by my side and be the mother of my children?", he reveals the ring. And I start laughing.
"Oh my god. What are you doing? We're already married, sweetie. And now get up.", I gently grab his wrists and pull him up.
"So what do you say?", his eyes sparkle. They are so beautiful.
"Emilio... I was in a relationship a long time ago and it destroyed me. I thought that I wouldn't be in one for the next 20 years, but then you came into my life and flipped a switch. My entire life was upside down. In that completely different world I fell into these beautiful eyes and I'm never coming out. Emilio, I love you.", he stares at me. He's not breathing. Not moving.
"So, is that a yes?", he slowly grins.
"OF COURSE IT IS, dummy.", I slap his biceps.
He grabs my chin and pulls me into a slow kiss.
A kiss so deep.
A kiss so meaningful.
A kiss full of hope.
A kiss with a future.
People start cheering. When I look around I see that people have gathered around us.
"Sorry. I didn't plan on proposing right now. It's just-", I cut him off.
"Stop apologizing and give it to me already.", he laughs.
"Now we both have rings.", he kisses my cheek and hugs me from one side. I raise my hand to show the crowd that I said yes. And they start cheering again.
"Yes we do. C'mon let's go, someone's getting lucky tonight."
