Ben's POV
"You go first." We said again at the same time.
"Come on." I said leading her through the crowd.
"Where are we going?" Mal asked resisting against my grip.
"You'll find out soon." I tell her.
"Good luck Ben." I heard Evie say from 10 feet away.
"Thanks." I mouthed back to her dragging Mal out of the castle. With her hand in mine I lead her to our place to call home. The house is cottage like and it has a lot of charm to fit our lifestyle.
"Ben what is this place?" Mal asked with a puzzling look on her face.
"Oh this? Just a project I've been working on."
"What's it for?"
This is it I'm gonna ask her.
"Mal, I will never forget the day that I fell in love with you." I say leading her to the couch. She looked at me confused.
"Yea, I won't either. That love spell was something else." She takes a seat while I remain standing.
"It was, but that wasn't when I fell in love with you." She just stared at me giving me the signal to go on.
"Then when was it?" She asks tugging on my sleeve for me to sit down but I keep my stability.
"When you first arrived to Auradon, when I first shook your hand and seen those green eyes sparkle I knew that you'd be the death of me. But one moment when everything became very real to me was at my coronation. When your mother tried to destroy everything I realized that all you wanted was to feel loved and appreciated and well...happy." I tell her sincerely.
"Aw, Ben." She begins.
"I'm not finished." I interrupt her
"Oh, continue." She says flashing that beautiful smile of hers.
"I have a couple of questions for you." I say with my heart beating out of my chest.
"Then I have some answers."
Gosh I love that smile.
"Do I make you happy?"
"Yes."
There's one.
"Do you love me?"
"Of course."
There's two.
And...
"Then, will you do me the honor of marrying me?"
"Ben do you even have to ask? Of course I will!"
Score!
Mal's POV
Dang it he beat me to it!
"Ben do you even have to ask? Of course I will!" I squealed.
He slid the ring on my finger and kissed my hand.
"Well then shall we take a tour of this beautiful house my queen?" It felt weird being called a queen but I kinda like it.
"We shall my king." And with that we walked into the kitchen. All but one picture sat on the counter.
"Do you remember that?" Ben asks turning to me.
"How could I forget?" I say remembering our first anniversary.
Flashback
Mal's POV
"Ben where are you taking me!" I screeched as Ben threw me over his shoulder.
"It's a surprise!"
What is that? His catchphrase?!
When we finally reached our destination Ben put me down. I had a blindfold on so I couldn't see anything. He took the blindfold off and I opened my eyes and knew exactly where we were. I turned around and seen the concrete island where Ben and I had our first date. Everything looked the same except a gigantic 60s style movie screen.
"What's the screen for?" I asked sitting down in one of the chairs.
"You'll see." He said coming to sit by me. He pressed a button and a slideshow started to the tune of "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5. All the pictures were of us and I remembered every one of them.
We started to sing along with the song.
Then Ben started to sing by himself. Oh no its the love spell all over again. I thought. "I don't mind spending everyday out on your corner in the pouring rain. Look for the girl with the broken smile. Ask her if she wants to stay awhile and she will be loved and she will be loved." By the end I was almost in tears. And I knew I would remember that day forever.
End of Flashback
Mal's POV
"I can't believe I'm finally getting my fairytale ending. Thank you." I say to my fiancé Ben. But I know my fairytale isn't over yet. I look up at the man next to me and can't help but smile. I know he will be an excellent husband and an even better father one day. One day. One day we'd finally have our family.
"What are you thinking?" Ben asks smiling back at me.
"I'm just thinking about how much I love you." I say pecking his lips.
"I love you too."
