it's been a whole year. a year since me and charlotte became a thing. i have a plan set out for tonight after she gets off work. she doesn't know im travelling back just for our one year because im still on holiday. i get a message on my phone.

"𝐲𝐚𝐲𝐲𝐲 𝐱𝐱"
i put my phone down as i was getting on my flight, so lucky i didn't give her any hints i was coming back because it's a big suprise and i don't want to ruin it. i'm so excited to see the look on her face when i pick her up from work. thank god my flight is only a few hours hopefully i'll actually make it back in time. i get to the airport around 5:30 and chars shift ends at 6:30 so ive got some time to get her some presents. i get her galexy chocolate and black roses. i get to the nursery around 6:25 and wait in the office for her.
"𝐦𝐢𝐚?"
"𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞"

i see charlotte walk out the baby room. i turn around so she doesn't realise it's me.
when she gets too agatha's desk i turn back around to face her.
"𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭"
"𝐌𝐈𝐀 𝐎𝐇 𝐌𝐘 𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐃"she jumps into my arms straight away.
"𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤!!"
"𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐢 𝐝𝐢𝐝, 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫, 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮"

we walk upto my car and she sees the black roses and the other gifts i got her.
"𝐚𝐰𝐰 𝐦𝐢𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠"
"𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭"
"𝐨𝐡 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲"
i start driving with my hand in her thigh the whole drive. i drive her to our spot on the beach, i got someone to put stuff together there for us both, a few glasses of wine and a picnic basket.
"𝐚𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭!!"
"𝐢 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧!"
we sit down and have a few drinks and i'm stressing over what is about to happen. i get her to stand up and run towards the sea. we start spinning around and we start laughing. i randomly stop and i slipped over into the sea getting drenched. char laughs so i splash her. it was all so fun...
now it's time. i stand up and grab her hand. i go silent for a minute.
"𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐚?"
"𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐡 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲" i reach into my back pocket of my shorts and i get down.
"𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞..."
"𝐨𝐡-𝐨𝐡 𝐦𝐲-"
"𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭"
"𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞. 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲, 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐞??"
she looks at me with disbeleif. i see her eyes swell up with tears.
"𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐎𝐇 𝐌𝐘 𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐃𝐃"
she falls to the floor crying covering her face. i grab her hand and put the ring on her finger. i hug her tightly and we both fall down lying on the soft sand. i start crying aswell and we just lie there and cry together for hours. i'm marrying the love of my life. i'm so happy. i love her so much.
