the new baller in town

~70~

"you ready," I say opening the door for her, she looks beautiful, I'm absolutely petrified right now.
"Yeh where are we going," she asks taking my hand in hers.
"Well I'm taking you for dinner then we are going for a walk, is that ok love," I say opening the Italian restaurant door for her," ladies first," I say smiling finally relaxed for the first time in months.
God she's beautiful.
It's just us in here, candle lit and roses on the table, I could propose right here but there is a spot on the walk that is amazing kinda by a lake and it look beautiful, especially with the the leaves the colours they are.
We ate and had meaningful conversations, which was amazing, it was just amazing.

"After you," I say opening the door for  her, "was that ok," I ask wrapping my arm around her waist as we walk.
"That was amazing Ella, you seem nervous, you ok," she asks stopping as we get near the spot I want to propose.
"I'm great," I say continuing to walk to the Spot we get there and I make up an excuse to set up my phone so I press film and make sure that the sound is able to be heard and it is working properly. Deep breaths.
"Whats going on Ella," she asks until I slowly go down to one knee.

"Alessia, I have been in love with for longer than it has been legal for me to love you.

I love you because you are the person that made smile even when I was struggling to get out of bed.

I love you because you have a kind heart.

I love you because you are you, you make me happier than I ever thought I could be and if you let me I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way.

you are the most perfect person in the world and if you don't believe that I will show you until you do.

If you have a bad day I want to be the person you can cry, yell and hate in the moments where you can't love me.

It was so easy for me to fall in love with you and when we had our first kiss I felt like I was flying.

I want to build my world with you, one where we can be in our own bubble and stay happy. You are my light in all of the darkness.

Yes we have had many bumps in the road but this has lead us to this point this has lead to me being down on one knee hoping you will accept this.

so marry me.

We can go to the back of the cinema and make out like we are falling in love again for the first time.
Marry me.

We can spend our night when we can't be bothered to cook eating Cereal sat on the dining room floor because we can even though there is a perfectly good table behind us.

Marry me so we can ditch parties and events just to cuddle up on the sofa and watch movies.

Marry me so I can love you forever and always like we said.

Marry me because I want you to be my forever, and I don't want to do this life without you.

Alessia Mia Teresa Russo will you marry me and spend forever with me, will you be my forever and always."

I say letting out a breath with happy tears in the corner of my eyes. She has both her hand placed over her mouth and tears in her eyes.

"Yes, yes I will marry you Ella Rose Williamson, I will be your forever and always,"she says placing her hands on the side of my face and kissing me gently.
" I love you, " I say sliding the ring on her finger.
