Theodore pov
I'm nervous. We're taking three days off. We've been busy with our royal duties for the past few months and both of us are absolutely exhausted. I decided to be treated nonetheless. Just for April's sake. I bought a chateau in France in April's name. It has tons of private property and a lake. I'm nervous but happy. It feels good to forget for a moment.
April pov
The sun shines on our faces. He looks so beautiful, with white drivers gloves, a pearl earring and a blue suit. He's wearing mismatched yellow sunglasses, the wind combs through his hair as we sit in the cabrio. The green landscape smells like nature and water. "The chateau is perfect for vacations, it's super private and beautiful, old but has a swimming pool" he says. He lights his cigarette. I smile and grab the cigarette. I don't want him to smoke. The chemo has been going pretty well, he doesn't have much side effects. I'm happy he chose to let himself get treated. The engine sounds a little weird in the back "is that normal?" He nods "has always done that." I laugh. "I love you" I say and lay my hands softly on his. He smiles. "I'll always love you April." This is heavenly I'd ask myself if a vacation full of this wouldn't be perfect, should we just keep driving.
But alas we stop to get some food and petrol. He takes off his gloves and fills the tank. "What do you want to eat?" He asks. "Just get me a coke and something savory." He nods "as you wish, your highness" I jokingly hit him. He laughs and his smile radiates happiness. I look at the view, how is it possible for the world to be so beautiful. I smile. My phone buzzes, my jaw tightens. I shake my head and turn off my phone. I don't want the world to take this moment from me. Theo appears behin me and he buries his face in my hair. He kisses my neck. "It's beautiful here" I say. He looks up. "Well, yeah but You are more beautiful." he pinches me in my side, I hate it when he does that, it tickles. "Come on!" he laughs. "Do you want to drive a bit?" he asks. I nod and we gget in the car. He turns up the radio and Buzzcut from Lorde is playing. He kind stand up and throws his head and hands up in the air, like you see in the movies. I laugh, he sings on the top of his lungs. "That's not safe Theo!" I say while laughing. I wish I could be like him, he doesn't care if he might die. He loves the world and he loves me and I couldn't be luckier to have him.
We arrive at the chateau. It's absolutetly beautiful. I can't believe it, it's like we're in a fairytale. There are dozens little towers. It's somewhere where snow white could live. I can't believe this is ours. "Is this really ours?" He nods. "Everything here is ours, we also have domestic help of course. We have everything you could possibly wish for." "It's perfect." I say. "I made sure of that" he says, I shake my head, "No, it's perfect. Because you are here." I kiss him, I feel free. Like I don't have to worry about the press. I love this man so much. We open the door, it's a beautiful hallway with marble floors. It's something you see in movies. I walk into the hallway. It even has chandeliers. Above the big starcase hangs a big portrait of me. It's beautiful, It's lifelike, I walk up the stairs towards it, theodore looks at me from the bottom of the stairs. the love in his eyes is as warm as always. "Did you make this?" He nods. I'm wearing a tiara his mother used to wear a lot. It's beautiful, I love it. "Put on some good shoes April, we're going to hike to the top of the mountain." I laugh, he always wants to do stuff.
The mountains are beautiful, we see a lot of animals, foxes, deers, wild cats, boars and much more. I love france, I used to go there when I was really young. After two hours of hiking we arrive at the top. It's absolutely mesmerizing. It's like you can almost see the thing people call heaven. I feel tears prickling my eyes. Theo looks at me, he puts down his backpack and grabs something. I expect a waterbottle when he kneels. I can't believe my eyes. "April, my love, my soul, my angel, my saviour, I have never loved someone as much as I love you. Everytime I see you I fall in love with you, over and over. I want to spend my time with you, for the time I still have or if there's something after our demise I want to be with you for all eternity. The whole world can be wrong, if I have you everything is instantly alright. You have saved me April, you enchanted me. I have permission from both the queen and your Mom. Will you marry me?" "Of course! You daft darling. O my god." He puts the beautiful ring on my finger, it's a silver ring with a big emerald. I've never seen an engagement ring so beautiful. I kiss my fiancée, how did I manage to land this angel of a human. My Theodore, my love, he is now officially mine. I'm his. I just made a promise to love him forever and I will never ever regret it. It feels unreal. I feel tears of joy in my eyes. "Did you plan this all along?" he nods. "I love you so much"
