3 years later... (not an epilogue by the way, just reallyyyyyy big time skip)

It's been 3 years now since Fitz and I have started dating and life has been great. Fitz and I's relationship was at its best. We'd visit our parents together every once in a while, Biana and Tam had finally told everyone about their relationship, and Linh and Dex finally started dating almost about a year ago.

At work both Biana and I got a promotion and there have been nice new recruits that have started working in the company.

I have been feeling like Fitz has been distancing himself from me these past few weeks. I wasn't sure if he didn't love me anymore, if he just wanted a break, or if it just wasn't intentional.

It was a Sunday afternoon and I heard a knock on my door. Once I opened it I found Fitz waiting.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh come on Soph, am I not allowed to see my gorgeous girlfriend?" He kissed me before he headed inside.

"Seemed kind of abrupt, that's all. So what brings you by?" I asked.

"I'm going on a business trip for three days."

"Oh that's great, where is it?"

"Paris, France. And you're coming with me." My eyes widened.

"What?!" He smiled. "Why? How? What? When?"

"Because you're my amazing girlfriend and you've said you've been wanting to go to Europe for a long time, and since I'm going to the capital of love, why not bring my girlfriend with me?" I went to hug him, wrapping my arms around his neck, placing repetitive kisses on his cheeks.

He laughed in response, kissing me.

"Fitz, this is amazing. You're the best."

"Only for the best. We're going on Wednesday, so I suggest packing now." I shook my head, burying my head in the crook of his neck.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too." We stayed like that for a while. "And even better news. We'll be flying in a private jet." My jaw dropped.

"I hate you." He raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"What?"

"I hate you because of how much you spoil me. I wish I could do these things you do to me. You deserve it." He chuckled.

"Thank you darling but you don't have to worry about any of this." I placed more kisses all over his face and neck, not possibly getting enough from him. And not enough kisses could pay for the things he's always doing for me. I love this man with my whole heart and soul.

Fitz stayed over for the rest of the day and once he left which was quite late, I barged into Linh's apartment. And I found her and Dex making out on the couch.

They broke apart, faces red, including mine.

"I should've knocked, sorry." She shook her head, their faces still a maroon red.

"It's okay, what's up?" I smiled.

"I'm going to France!" Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.

"What! That's amazing! But why?"

"Fitz said he had a business trip in Paris and told me I'm going with him."

"Paris? I want to be you right now. When are you going?"

"On Wednesday." She stood up.

"You have to start packing now then." Dex stood up along with her, placing a kiss on her temple.

"You guys have fun, I'm going to start heading out. Good night." He walked over and hugged me, wishing me a safe trip and to text him more about it later.

"Paris is soo romantic, you're going to have a blast."

"I know, and being there with Fitz will make it so much better." We entered my room and entered my bedroom.

"Sophie, you and Fitz have done it right?" My face turned red from the question.

"Why?"

"Have you?" I nodded my head, looking away and getting my luggage from my closet.

"When was the first time you did?"

"A bit more than six months into our relationship, why?"

"Dex hasn't hinted to anything and we've been dating for a year. I don't know if there's a reason behind it or if he's just not ready." She said, laying on my bed.

"So then ask him."

"No way, that'll sound desperate and it's a really weird question."

"I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong. Does he love me?" I roll my eyes.

"Yes Linh. He loves you very much, I've seen the way he looks at you. He's smitten." A small smile grew to her face.

"Yeah, and I guess sex doesn't really matter. It's our love that does." I nodded.

"Yup, now come help me pack, I have no idea what I'm going to bring." For the next couple hours, Linh helped me pack for my trip, and told me to take a bunch of photos.

We said good night and she headed back into her apartment.

Linh's POV

Once I closed the door behind me, I had thought of something.

Fitz and Sophie, in the capital of love together, dating for years now...

HE'S GOING TO PROPOSE!

This is amazing! Sophie's going to get married! I quickly ran to my phone going to Dex's contact.

Me: FITZ IS GOING TO PROPOSE TO SOPHIE ON THEIR TRIP

Dexy: What? How do you know?

Me: Why else would Fitz invite Sophie to go on a trip with him that happens to be in Paris aka the capital of love.

Dexy: Sophie said that it's a business trip

Me: Maybe it's just a front to prepare stuff the proposal

Dexy: How do you know so much about this?

Me: I don't know, but I do know Sophie will come back engaged!

Dexy: That'll be great for them, but I'm going to head to bed. Good night

Me: Good night

I shut off my phone and laid on my bed.

My best friend was going to get married. I'm going to be a bridesmaid! Yay!
