He'd been on tour forever. It'd seem like centuries but in reality, only a couple of months. I just wanted to hold him. It's weird because I never thought just the sound of someone's name could make me grin so wide. His tour ended today and I honestly can't wait to see him. He'd text me late at night when concerts would just end, and we go on video chat for hours at a time. But it just wasn't the same. I just wanted him to hold me and wrap me all under the covers. The best thing was when I'd fall asleep in his arms and awaken to his face again in the same spot, untouched.
"Good morning beautiful" he'd say and I just smile and smile.
I honestly just wanted to be with him. Right now at this moment I wanted him. The group was ending the tour in a city a couple hours away. He didn't think I was coming, but I was going to surprise him, for us. I started to drive.

I pulled up in the parking lot for the small stadium. The town was small so it wasn't going to be the biggest turn out. It was dark but the stadium lights shined enough to make out everything.
I sang along backstage. And knew every song by heart of course. He still didn't know I was here. I would surprise him after, when all the fans had left, and the band was heading home for the first time. They ended with I Can't Say I'm in Love. I searched the small backstage for his face, those chiseled cheeks, perfect eyes. I couldn't find him anywhere. But suddenly someone picks me up from behind my waist and I smile so wide because I know it's him.
"Rocky" I whisper
"Baby girl" he says back
Then at that moment he picks me up "just married" style.
We drive away, our hands never letting go. I realize we're off the normal route. "Babe? Where are we going?" I ask
"Somewhere" he says and smiles so big I can't help but smile too. We arrive at the beach. But it looks quite different. There's lights everywhere and rose petals all over and it's gorgeous.
"Rocky?"
He just smiles and keeps on walking.
Only until I get closer do I realize the rose petals spell out
"Marry Me"
I start to cry because I feel like I've found the one person out of the 7 billion or something that's made just for me.
"Yes!" I shout 1000 times
He kisses me, his lips so crisp and...

"Baby?" he says coming into the room.
"Yes babe?" I say
"Are you telling the kids the proposal story again?" he says with a light laugh
"They wanted it, and I needed to remember it again." I say drifting off asleep in his arms.
