PARADISE

♡ | PARADISE | ♡ 40: PARADISE

'I've got you under my skin. 

I've got you deep in the heart of me. 

So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me. 

I've got you under my skin. 

I'd tried so not to give in. 

I said to myself: this affair never will go so well. 

But why should I try to resist when, baby, I know so well 

I've got you under my skin?.'

"Oh My."

The room was filled with flowers.

There was a trail of rose petals leading to a quaint table.

This was deeply romantic.

"David, this is so lovely...I don't know what to say." I said incredibly flustered.

David had the most sincere smile on and he took my hand in his.

"Lana, you wanted hearts and flowers.  

You have my heart." 

He planted my hand over his drumming heart. 

"And these, the flowers." He waved around the dreamy scenery.

Oh My, he is so goddamn romantic.

He looked nervous all of a sudden and he dropped to one knee.

I was close to fainting.

"Lana Del Rey. I love you. I want to love, cherish, and protect you for the rest of my life. Be mine. Always. Share my life with me. Marry me."

He wants to marry me!

I was so giddy with joy.

David stared up at me, looking so vulnerable and nervous.

My beautiful cynical man.

From inside his blazer he produced a small box.

The ring! 

I cheered.

David carefully opened it and retrieved the ring.

He delicately slipped it onto my finger and I finally got a glimpse of its beauty.

It was an emerald rock.

It was very extravagant and big... Big.

I felt slightly cheap all of a sudden.

He shouldn't have spent all of this.

I looked at him with kind eyes. 

"David, it's so beautiful!" I gushed.

I continued to admire the ring.

David lifted my hand up to his lips and kissed the ring.

"Lana, if you..don't answer my proposal...I don't know what I'd do..." He stammered impatiently.

I dropped to my knees and kissed him smack on his lush mouth.

He kissed me back and surprisingly pushed me away.

"Lana, Marry me." He repeated firmly.

I smiled at him, still amused at his vulnerable side.

I could tell David had become very frustrated with me.

I wanted to toy with him, before I agreed to 'forever'.

Just to have one last foolish, teenage moment.
