billie was taking me out again. it was close to our 3 year anniversary

by now i recognized the road she was taking. the long stretch of trees against the coast line.

we were going to my flower field again.
we came here on special occasions.

she hadn't said alot this car ride which honestly scared me. the cold november air made me layer with jumpers. she parked the car and when we stepped out we were hit with the cold again. 

a dusting of snow was over the grass as we walked hand in hand. i laid my head on her shoulder and she kissed the crown of my head softly. by now the grass was over grown but the scene was still breath taking. 

we reach the rocks where we first sat and i go to sit down but my hand falls from hers so i spin around confused. 

there she is, down on one knee holding out a box to me. 

my hands cover my mouth instantly as tears begin to fall down my face. 

"marley, from the moment i saw you, i wanted to get to know you. i never anticipated to absolutely fall in love with you. you have a beautiful heart and from the moment we met, my world has been brighter, my heart fuller, and my life richer. Every day with you is a reminder of how lucky I am to have found someone who truly understands me, who makes me laugh when I need it most, and who supports me in ways I never imagined possible. through every late night adventure and every challenge we've faced, you've shown me that love isn't just a feeling—it's a choice, a promise, and a journey. You make me want to be the best version of myself, I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Marley i love you now and always, so, will you marry me?" 

my head was nodding before she even finished speaking. "yes! oh my gosh billie of course i will, i love you so much" i pulled her to stand and jumped into her arms before she could even put the ring on my finger. i held her tighter than i think i ever have. i didnt want to let go incase this was all in my head. 

she eventually put me down and i looked to where she was putting the ring on my finger. i admired it in disbelief. "this is my promise to you, that i will spend the rest of my life with you" she kissed me again. "the ring was just a pretty present" i laughed and wrapped my arms around her again my heart never calming down. 

i laid in her arms by the rocks still in amazement. the waves crashed against the rocks and i cant help but imagine our lives together now. 

i started giggling out of no where and rolled over in her arms. "what?" she questioned with a smirk. 

"nothing, im just exited" i laughed sitting up to straddle her lap. 

"yeah?" she said licking her lips and looking up at me. i bit back a grin and rested my head on her shoulder. 

"you have no idea" i whispered against her ear. kissing under her jaw. all of a sudden she stood up and placed me back on the floor then took my hand and started walking back to the car. 

when we got there she opened the back door. 

that night i spent it at billies, today however i was going to go home and see how long it takes the girls to notice the ring on my finger. 

we didnt get alot of sleep last night so i didnt wake up until 11am. billie had already left for some meetings but i faintly remember her giving me a kiss before she left. 

so i grabbed my stuff and headed for my car. 

at home the girls were just making lunch in the kitchen. i couldnt help but smile as i walked in. i greeted them but headed to my room to put my stuff down and have a shower. 

when i came back out i was in fresh pyjamas and my hair was freshly washed. now lyss and willow were cleaning the kitchen so i offered to help. "and where were you all day yesterday" they asked me with a smile. 

"oh you know, around" i laughed reaching for more stuff to put away. all of a sudden i hear a scream. then alyssa grabbed my hand. 

"MARLEY! OH MY GOD YOU GOT ENGAGED AND DIDNT TELL US" 

"WHAT" i fell to the floor with laughs as willow hit me with the tea towel. 

"no way, youre just a baby how can you be wifed up already" willow groaned grabbing her wallet to hand alyssa $50. 

"what dont you guys bet on" i shook my head looking at my ring again. 

alyssa crushed me in a hug on the floor and said how happy she is for me. 

"WAIT NO, does this mean you're moving out" she then exclaimed pushing my shoulders "you're not allowed to move out, ill miss you too much" 

"im barely here anyway" 

"i dont care, you're not leaving" willow decided. i sighed and looked at them both, tears in my eyes. 

"im going to miss living with you guys, promise we will still do games night?" 

"of course we will, and this isnt goodbye, we still live in the same city" alyssa shook her head. 

"this isnt goodbye"
