CHAPTER THREE : DREAM PROPOSAL

It's funny how life can change in the blink of an eye. I used to think that love was something I could never fully believe in again, after everything I'd been through in the past. But Adrian, with all his charm and sincerity, came into my life at a time when I least expected it. I had my doubts at first.

Was I ready for something serious again? Was I ready for another shot at love, especially when it came with the potential for more kids, a deeper commitment, and a blended family?

But now, as I stand here in Kassie's backyard surrounded by family and friends, I'm more certain than ever that Adrian is the one. I still can't quite believe it. A few months ago, we had a conversation about kids and what our future looked like. We both decided that if it was meant to be, we'd let life take its course. And here we are now, standing at the edge of something so much bigger than we ever imagined—something permanent.

I had no idea what Adrian was planning. Not a clue. He and Kassie had been acting strangely for weeks, but I just assumed it was about the pool party they were throwing in early April. Kassie was planning a big "Koko" themed event for me, complete with fairytale touches. It was meant to be a fun day to celebrate life, friends, and family, but little did I know that this would be the day that would change my life forever.

Adrian had asked me to come to Kassie's house for the pool party. As soon as I walked in, I was hit with the beautiful details that made the whole backyard feel like it was straight out of a dream. From the giant inflatable Koko heads to the poolside decor, everything screamed *us*. But nothing prepared me for the moment that would come next.

The party was already in full swing when Adrian took my hand and led me to the center of the yard. The music softened, and suddenly, everything felt still. It was just the two of us in that moment. Adrian looked more handsome than ever in his crisp, well-tailored suit, and as I looked around at the people who meant the most to me—my family, my friends, and even some of Adrian's closest people—everything started to click. *Something big is happening*, I thought.

And then, before I knew it, Adrian was down on one knee in front of me, and my heart stopped.

I swear, I couldn't breathe. I gasped, my hands immediately flying to my face as I looked at him. He was about to say the words I'd been dreaming about, the ones I didn't even know I wanted to hear again, until now.

"The moment I first laid eyes on you, I knew in my core that my life was about to change," Adrian began, his voice steady but full of emotion. "That day, when Kassie introduced us, is etched forever. It was that moment when something, some unusual feeling hit me—that my life was about to change. And true enough, after speaking with you, it felt like I'd known you since forever."

He paused for a moment, and I could feel every eye on us. I felt like I was melting inside, but my heart was pounding so loud that I could barely hear what he was saying. The love in his eyes was undeniable.

"Who would have thought that the stranger in front of me that night would be the person I won't last a day without?" he continued, his eyes not leaving mine. "Today, I want to let you know that you are the person I want to be with for the rest of my life. In many different stages and versions, regardless of the change—good or bad—I want to experience it with you. Khloé Alexandra Kardashian, there can only be a yes answer to this question I'm about to pop. Will you marry me?"

And then, he opened a red box, revealing a stunning thirteen-carat pear-shaped diamond surrounded by two smaller diamonds on either side, set on a platinum band. My breath caught in my throat, and all I could do was stare at the ring. It was more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined, and I couldn't believe it was for me.

"This is the best thing I've ever seen in my life," I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion as tears began to form in my eyes. "I'm gonna cry."

I could feel the tears welling up as Adrian stood up and cupped my face, wiping away a few stray tears with his thumb. The world felt like it was spinning, but I was anchored in that moment. I couldn't believe it. This was real. Adrian was here, asking me to be his forever.

"Yes, I'll marry you," I managed to say, my voice cracking with joy.

The second the words left my lips, a floodgate opened, and I was crying—happy, overwhelmed, pure joy. Adrian slid the ring onto my finger, and as he stood up, he kissed me softly. I kissed him back, over and over again, unable to stop.

"I love you so much," I said between kisses, my heart racing. "Baby, I love you!"

"I love you too," Adrian said softly, pulling me into a tight embrace. I could hear the cheers and claps from our friends and family behind us, but it all felt distant. In that moment, it was just me and him, finally stepping into the future together.

Then, Adrian turned to True and Tania, who had been waiting for this moment too. He handed each of them their marching rings, and I felt my heart swell. This wasn't just a proposal for me; it was for our entire family. It was a promise to them too.

"This is perfect," Kendall said, eyes brimming with happy tears. "Adrian outdid himself."

The tears were contagious. Kris was crying, saying how she never thought this day would come, but that Khloé was always meant to be a wife. Kourtney was holding back her own tears, and I could hear Kylie sobbing with Kassie.

"Did you know?" I whispered to Kassie, who had been standing beside me the whole time, smiling.

"Who did you think helped plan it?" she replied with a grin.

"Thank you so much, Kassie. This was perfect," I said, hugging her tightly.

"You deserve it, Khloé," Kassie said, her voice full of warmth.

And just like that, my world felt complete. Everything I had dreamed of, everything I had hoped for in a partner and in a future, was right here in front of me. Adrian was my future, and I couldn't wait to see where this journey would take us.

Looking at the ring on my finger, I realized that love doesn't come in a perfect package. It comes with all the mess, all the lessons, and all the growth. But when it's real, when it's this deep, everything else just falls away. I had found my person. And now, we were ready for whatever came next.

"Let's get married," I said, smiling through my tears. Adrian laughed softly, nodding. And in that moment, I knew: this was the start of forever.
