The One For Him

The One For Him ~ 26

It was the best vacation ever. We leisured ourselves visiting some historical sites and tourist spots around. We devoured all of the mexican delicacies we could find.

Dieting was the last thing on my mind. He teased me I was gaining weight but he stated the heavier, the better. It would make deeper penetration when I was on top. My naughty man.

Then we went snorkelling, scuba diving, paragliding and even swam with sharks. It was terrifying. I felt the adrenaline moving thru my veins but being with him, I felt safe.

My Alex, my divine being, the man I love.

We had so much fun, but the part I loved the most was when we would cuddle, sitting at the shore while watching the sunset. Me sitting in front of him and leaning against his chest. There were few people around doing the same thing we were doing. It was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen in my life and being there alone with him, in a tranquil and romantic mood, life couldn't get so much better than this.

"Have you ever seen such a more lovely sight than that?", I sighed. Referring about the sunset.

"Yes, of course."

"Really?"

"I'm holding her now."

I turned my head around and looked at him. He was smiling. I gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"Thank you."

"You're most welcome", he grinned.

I snuggled closer to him and observed the sunset again.

He took a deep nervous breath then slowly disengaged his arms from me and stood up. I looked up at him, frowning. He reached for my hands and assisted me to stand, too.

"We're leaving already?", I pouted. Slightly disappointed. I still wanted to stay and gazed at the sunset.

"No", he started to look pale. He wetted his lips with his tongue.

I frowned.

"Baby, aren't you feeling well?", I immediately felt his temple to wipe the sweat off and to checked if he was running a fever.

He grabbed both of my hands and I felt his hands were moist, too.

"You are sick! Come, let's hurry back to the—"

"No, no, no. Stay baby, please", his grip became firm and pulled me towards him again.

I shook my head at him.

"A-Alex—"

"Clarissa, there's something I was longing to ask you for a long time now", he looked at me intently with those gorgeous hazel eyes of his.

I caught my breath, he was starting to make me nervous but aside from that, his silhoutte by the sunset was mesmerizing. Here, standing before me was the most beautiful man, I too had ever laid my eyes upon.

He brought both my hands unto his lips and kissed my knuckles softly. My heart started beating loudly. He whispered something against them but I could barely hear him. My blood was flowing faster. Without removing his gaze from me, he slowly went down on one knee and took a parcel from his pocket.

In it was a little heart shaped, blue velvet box.

I swallowed.

It can't be? Can it be?

My eyes went huge.

He slowly opened the box and inside was a big pear shaped nicely cut diamond, platinum ring.

"Señorita Clarissa Rebecca Thomas... Miss Claire... Will you marry me?"
