Lesbian couple. Natalie and Zara. Natalie's POV
I've been with Zara for 9 years. We met in high school when we were 16 and we're both 25 now. I knew I wanted marry her ever since I first saw her, so 9 years has felt like an eternity. I would have proposed to her as soon as we turned 18 but I knew that we should probably wait a little bit longer. Now, we're both going into our final year of med school and I literally cannot wait any longer.
Let me tell you a little bit about my wife...well she will be soon. Zara is the most beautiful woman I've ever met. She has gorgeous dark skin in contrast to my pale skin. Her hair is black and it's currently in long beautiful braids with beads at the end. My hair is blonde and slightly wavy. If we're talking about masc vs fem and dom vs sub, I would be the more dominant masc one in the relationship. I don't tend to wear much makeup or super girly clothing. I'm usually bare faced and wearing more masculine clothing. Zara wears makeup but she usually keeps it simple. But unlike me, Zara has curves for days. She likes to show them off. She's the more feminine one in the relationship.
We're currently in Greece on our last summer trip together before starting the semester. We've always wanted to come here on vacation, so I thought it would be a perfect place to propose to her.
We arrived at a beautiful outdoor restaurant that had a stunning view of the ocean. We walked up to the balcony and looked over at the view.
"It's so beautiful here, Nat" my pretty baby said to me. I love it when she calls me Nat.
"It really is." I said, looking at her and thinking about the ring in my back pocket. "Let's go find a seat, okay baby."
"Ok!"
We sat down at a table. We looked over the menu and after a few minutes, a waiter comes to take our orders. We told him what we wanted and he left.
"Zara" I got her attention and said, "we should go take a walk while we're waiting for our food." I started to get up.
"Ok perfect!" She got up too. This was good because now I could propose to her before we ate. We could have our first date together as an engaged couple. Finally.
Zara grabbed my hand and we walked over to the railing of the balcony. We slowly walked along the edge, looking at the beautiful sunset. Not as beautiful as my girlfriend though.
We reached an area where no one could watch us. Now was the time. Zara had always talked about wanting a private proposal because people always ruin important moments and I agreed.
She was holding my hand and pulling me along, so I slowed down and she turned to me, looking confused.
"Zara..." I started. I was so nervous.
"Yeah baby?" Here we go.
"Ever since I met you, I knew I wanted to be with you forever." Realization spread across her face and her eyes started to water. "I can't imagine life without you. I feel like I was made to love you. I've never loved anyone as much as I love you, Zara."
She was fully crying now and I found myself starting to cry too.
"Please..." my voice cracked as I cried. "Please baby. Can I be your wife?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Oh, I love you more than anything in the world, Natalie!" She squealed as she continued to cry. I pulled the ring out of my pocket and grabbed her hand to slip it onto her finger. It looked so right.
I grabbed her and kissed her. All of a sudden people started clapping and cheering for us. I guess we weren't as hidden as we though we were. Zara and I looked at each other and then at everyone else and giggled.
