ZEEL

Four years later

"Are we there yet, it's been centuries we've been out." She is pouting from the passenger seat. We are driving, actually we are going to Disney land but it is a surprise for her. Not only the Disney land trip but I have one more surprise stored in my pockets, I just wish, it goes as I planned.

"Don't pout, honey. You can sleep, I'll wake you up when we'll reach there. And don't forget it's a surprise and I am not going to melt and slip away." I teased, she frowned but nodded.

Its been five years we've been together and the time we spend together every day still feels like we are meeting for the first time, all I want is wrap her up and hide her in my pockets. Her café is the biggest hit of the town, online and offline platforms are blowing up like crazy shit. I am so in love with her and her kindness, her baking, her music, her lyrics, her lips and her body and her every fucking thing she inherits.

Soon we arrived at Disney land, Lina is quite asleep, I parked the car and shifted in my seat, I don't want to wake her up but the surprise I have for her cannot fucking wait. Sorry, Cat.

"We are there, sweetheart. Open your eyes." I slowly whispered in her ears and she rubbed her eyes and started pulling them open. Her mouth fell open when her she registered, where we are.

"Oh my God, we are at Disney Land. How did you manage this without me knowing. It's a very fabulous anniversary gift, sweet bean. I love you, happy fifth, anniversary." She kissed my lips softly. I grabbed her neck and caressed her skin and tucked the strands of her hair behind her ear.

"Well, what can I say, I charmed my way through your heart, huh?" I teased.

"Absolutely, sweet bean. I love you dang much." She spoke.

"I love you more, sweetheart, now come one shall we begin the tour?" I asked.

"Uh, huh." She kissed me again and exited the car in pure bliss. I knew Lina love Disney land. She visited once with her mom and she adored her time here. I just want to accelerate the experience and make it more special.

We entered Disney land, full of laughter and love. I am but nervous inside, I know this can be the biggest day of our life. We wandered around, enjoyed rides, I mean Lina enjoyed rides, I am still shit scared if those fuckers. Never mind, its lunch time already, we met at the café near the big roller coaster.

"Hey, love. did you enjoy the ride?" I kissed her cheeks when she arrived at the booth and sat beside me leaning her wight onto me.

"Uh, huh. So amazing, I wish you could join me?" she threw her puppy eyes.

"You know, I am shit scared, I will gag if I try to ride those fuckers." I said and she chuckled.

"It's okay, I will ride for the both of us, and you bringing me here is the best I could imagine, thankyou sweet bean." She beamed.

"My pleasure, honey." I kissed her forehead.

"What ya wanna have, I will have fries and burger and you?" I asked.

"Just a smoothie, I am craving sweet right now." She spoke.

"Babe, you own a café and you meddle in sweet all day long, I am afraid how aren't you tired of sweet just yet." I teased.

"That's just between me and my sweet tooth, will ya grab me some?" she asked.

"Of course, wait right here, I will be back in a minute." I reached the counter and placed the order.

I am so anxious of her reaction, I reached my jacket pocket and held that tiny box of our future, I just hope she says YES.

I grabbed our food and reached our table, a guy is trying to talk to Lina and she seems not interested, these fuckers won't let my beautiful girl alone.

"Hey, babe. Everything fine?" I asked when I dropped the food on the table and kissed her cheeks.

She beamed and kissed my held my face and kissed my lips with a piercing kiss, more like claiming me right there in front of that guy. I won't mind, it's us.

"Absolutely, this gentleman is leaving anyway." She made a smug face.

I chuckled, the guy standing to our opposite lane, made grumpy sound and left our table alone.

"I said I wasn't interested; these guys won't take a hint." She said anxiously.

"Sweetheart, it's them, they are useless prick of the world. You are gorgeous, it's like obvious they'll hit on you. But you are mine." I claimed.

"Yes, sweet bean and you are mine too." She chuckled and kissed me, grabbing a chunk of my hair with one hand and holding the corner of my shirt with another, she bit my lower lip and opened my mouth for her tongue to enter and demand my insides. My heart is beating under those ribs as fast as humanly possible. I place my hand on top of Cat's heart and hers is also unsteady and beating staunch. I waved my hands through her hairs, untangling messy strands and grazing her cheeks. I broke the kiss, out of breath, I kissed the tip of her nose and whispered.

"I am yours since the day I met you, baby. You didn't know, I secretly prayed, you'd notice me but when I heard you did notice me and on the same day. It seemed like FATE, I may not a big believer but I will believe if it involves you being with me forever." I slid off the booth, went down on one knee, withdrew the box from the pocket of my jacket and opened it. The glistening ruby jewel making it shine through Lina eyes, which are spread so wide, they might pop out any second now.

"Catalina Paulo, mi 'lady, will you do the honour of making me the happiest women alive by agreeing to marry me????"

I held my breath, waiting for her to response, her eyes are watering, her blues are going ice. I shook that thought away and kept standing on one knee.

"Oh, my God, sweet bean, you don't get to do it, I was supposed to propose you this afternoon after we went home, you ruined my surprise." She chuckled.

I frowned, "Is that a YES?" I asked cautiously.

"Of course, you silly, I will marry you. And wait." She grabbed her bag and withdrew a tiny box of ring; she made me stand and she went on one knee in front of me.

"Zeel Prings, will you be my loving wife and adopt 2.5 cats and be a happy family?" she asked.

I feel tears flowing through the walls of my eyes, I slid my ring onto her finger and replied, "For fuck sake, I will fucking marry you, babe. You are it for me, it's you and me, Zeena remember." I made the reference to the merch we decided to create on our first day meeting.

She slid her ring onto my finger, it is customised, the outer part of the ring reads, 'ILY sweet bean.' My heart is burst into thousand tiny flames, so mesmerised by the beauty in front of me, I grabbed her by her waist, tilted her head and kissed her neck, stabbing myself there, left a dirty hickey, in the middle of the café in DISNEY FUCKING LAND.
