I woke up with the sun shining directly above me. I rolled over and looked over at Blake who was lying next to me, his arms loosely wrapped around my waist. My heart warmed at the sight of his sleeping form. He looked so peaceful, not a single trace of his previous angry, arrogant self. I snuggled closer into him and kissed his bare chest lightly. He opened his eyes, and smiled sleepily. "Morning, sweetheart." He kissed me lightly on the forehead. I smiled. "Morning, sweetie." I yawned and stretched as best I could. "Did you have fun last night?" He grinned at me.

"Yeah, I did." I chuckled. "Well, I hope you like the present I gave you," he said, picking me up and placing me carefully on the bed. "What present?" I asked confused. He chuckled and sat up in bed. He rummaged through his closet for a moment, before pulling a red velvet box out of the back. He held it out towards me and I took it cautiously. I opened it slowly, and my eyes grew wide at the contents. There was a diamond ring sitting inside. It was a beautiful platinum ring with three diamonds in a perfect circle on the band. The center diamond was bigger than the rest. A beautiful, shiny sapphire stone rested inside the ring. It sparkled brightly under the sun. I stared at it for several moments, and then I looked up at him.

Blake smiled widely at me. "Will you marry me?" My heart pounded as I stared at him in shock. How could he possibly ask me something like that? Of course, I loved him so much. What kind of question was that? "Um... I-" "Please say yes." "I love you!" I blurted out. Blake laughed. "Really?!" He exclaimed. "Yes! Yes, I love you so much." I jumped up from the bed, threw my arms around his neck, and hugged him tightly.

"Thank you!" Blake whispered, hugging me back. "Now get dressed so we can leave," he said, grinning. I giggled and hurried over to the dresser. After getting dressed, I hopped up on the vanity. Blake came in and stood behind me, placing a gentle kiss on my shoulder blade. "What am I going to do with you, babe?" I giggled again. "I have no idea. But don't worry, I have some ideas." He laughed."You better have." He moved around behind me and rubbed my breasts gently. I moaned quietly and shifted my body slightly to allow him more access. "How are you feeling today?" Blake asked. "I'm sore, but fine." I shrugged. "That's good," he responded smiling, "I'v missed your tits." I smirked and turned around to face him. He pulled my lips towards him and passionately kissed me.

I moaned softly into his mouth, and wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him closer. We kissed passionately for a few moments until Blake broke away. He pecked my lips.
"Do you still need me to pick up breakfast?" He asked. "No, I'm fine," I told him. He smiled. "Okay, well I'll see you later tonight then," he said. I nodded. "Bye," I said, smiling at him. He leaned down, giving me another quick kiss before leaving the room. I lay back on the vanity, smiling and thinking of how lucky I am to have someone like Blake in my life. Someone who loves me and wants to spend all their days with me. I sighed happily, closing my eyes and resting my head against the back of the vanity.

A knock sounded at the door. "Come in," I called out. The door opened slowly to reveal a maid carrying a tray with scrambled eggs and toast. She set the tray down and placed it in front of me. I grabbed a piece of toast, and started eating hungrily. I ate quickly, while staring out the window. Suddenly, someone walked in. "Oh!" I cried, jumping in surprise. "Hey there, princess." Blake winked at me, leaning against the door frame. I blushed lightly and smiled sheepishly. "Hi," I replied shyly. He moved closer, and sat down on the edge of the vanity next to me. He reached into his pocket and handed me a small card.

"Here," he said, handing me the card. I looked at it quizzically, squinting at the words written on it. "Your driver will be here in ten minutes," he explained. I nodded and put the card back in his pocket. "Are you ready to go?" He asked. I nodded, and began gathering up my clothes. He helped me gather them up and carried them outside where my driver was waiting for us. We hopped in the car and he started driving. "Where are we going?" I inquired after awhile. "It's a surprise," he replied. "But where are we going?" I pressed. "Shh," he whispered, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I huffed loudly and crossed my arms over my chest.

The ride was silent for awhile. Blake looked nervous, which made me wonder what he would be bringing me. My curiosity had only increased when we arrived at the restaurant. "This is amazing," I gushed once we entered. "Happy birthday, darling." The hostess showed us to our table and I smiled at Blake gratefully. "Thanks," I said happily. "You're welcome," he replied. Our waiter came by shortly to check our drink orders.

He left soon after, and I couldn't help but notice Blake seemed quite nervous. "What's wrong?" I asked concerned. "Nothing," he assured me. I frowned. "Blake, talk to me," I requested softly. He hesitated for a moment before sighing deeply. "Alright, it's just.. This is gonna sound crazy," he admitted. "Try me," I encouraged. He bit the inside of his cheek nervously. "Remember the first time we met?" He asked. I thought for a moment, trying to recall the memory.

Then i remembered. We were having lunch in London one day. We hadn't even known each other that long, so it wasn't very surprising that we'd never really talked. "Yes..?" I prompted, unsure of where this was going. He cleared his throat. "I may or may not have proposed to you that day.." He paused. "I know what you're about to say, baby, and I already rejected you, remember?" I reminded him. His face darkened for a second. "Yeah, yeah. You rejected me. But, you also said you wanted to get married..." He trailed off. "Blake," I interrupted. "Let me finish.

When I said no, I wasn't being serious, babe," I reminded him. "But, I still meant it. And I didn't actually reject you," I pointed out. "I've been meaning to say that for a while now, and I think now is as good a time as any. I want to marry you," I finished, blushing slightly. He stared at me shocked, clearly surprised by my sudden confession. "You mean it?" He asked incredulously. "Of course I do." He smiled widely and leaned in, kissing me again. I smiled into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist as well. Once we parted, Blake continued to stare at me in amazement. "So, does this mean you're marrying me?" He asked hopefully.

I giggled and shook my head. "Not yet. I want you to propose first, you dork." He rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone. "Okay, here goes nothing," he muttered to himself. He pressed a button and suddenly a holographic image appeared in front of us. It was a picture of us, both standing on a huge balcony overlooking the ocean, in the middle of summer, with our hands intertwined and smiling widely. We were both wearing swimsuits underneath our suits, showing off our toned bodies. I laughed aloud at the picture. "I love it." He grinned excitedly and hugged me. "I'm glad you liked it," he murmured. "Can I give you a ring?" he asked hopefully.

I giggled softly. "Maybe if you promise to take a photo of it with my camera first." He grinned broadly. "Deal," he answered enthusiastically. I got up from my seat and held out my hand to him. He pulled me onto his lap and kissed my forehead gently. Afterward, he took my camera and sent the picture to himself. After he put my camera away, he pulled out a ring box. He popped open the lid and slid the diamond engagement ring on my finger. I gasped and covered my mouth with my hands. It was absolutely gorgeous. The diamond was surrounded by small pearls and was sparkling brightly under the light.

I felt tears forming in my eyes. I looked up at him and gave him a watery smile. He smiled back and kissed my forehead again. "Well, are you happy?" He questioned. "More than happy," I replied, nodding. "Good, because I have something else to show you." He pulled out a small velvet box and lifted the lid. A gold necklace rested in the velvet box. There were several diamonds hanging from the chain and they sparkled brilliantly. I swallowed hard, afraid that if I spoke I'd start crying. "Victoria, will you marry me?" He whispered. I looked up at him, and nodded.

"Yes, of course I will," I exclaimed, jumping up and wrapping my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close against his body. "Thank you, Blake," I breathed out happily. "For everything." He smiled at me. "You don't have to thank me," he stated. "I know, but I want to." I said. He kissed me sweetly and picked me up bridal style. I shrieked in delight and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Put me down!!" I demanded laughing. He chuckled lowly and started heading upstairs.
