Rosie's POV, 1 week later
I turned over, and right into Steven's arms. I wasn't even fully awake, but I giggled, and opened my eyes. Steven smirked at me, then kissed my nose.
"Good morning, beautiful." He whispered, kissing my lips this time.
My whole body tingled, and I loved it. Life just makes sense when I'm with Steven, and I couldn't believe I had even thought about being away from him.
I sighed, nuzzling closer to him, hearing his heart beating as I laid my head against his chest.
I felt completely safe.
After a moment, I rolled over to grab my phone, and I checked my messages.
I had a few from Lin, asking if I wanted to hang out today.
I turned back over, showing Steven my phone screen.
"Go for it. Besides, I have some things to take care of." He said, smirking attractively.
I rose an eyebrow. "Oh really?"
He nodded adorably. "Really."
I bit my lip, trying not to smile. "Okay, I'll take your word for it."
Steven ran his hand down my body, all the way to my exposed thigh, caressing it gently.
My skin shivered, but I kept my composure.
"I know you will." He muttered, quite seductively.
I chuckled breathlessly. "That's what you think."
I met his eyes, and he gave me the sexiest look.
"I think...we're not leaving this bed yet."

Later that day, 8pm
"So how are you and Steven?" Lin asked from the kitchen, while fixing us a couple drinks.
I smiled wide. "As perfect as ever."
She walked back into the living room, handing me a glass.
"That's good to hear, considering all you've been through."
I nodded, agreeing. I sipped my drink, as Lin's phone rang suddenly.
She picked it up, answering it.
I couldn't decipher what she was being told but it seemed suspicious to me.
"Okay, bye." She hung up.
I rose an eyebrow at her. "So?"
She was quiet for a second, before finally speaking.
"Come on. We have to change our clothes."
My brows furrowed. "Why?"
Lin rolled her eyes playfully. "Just come on."
I followed her into her room, and let her hand me one of her sexiest outfits. We both dressed relatively quickly, and walked back out to the living room.
Lin pulled something out from behind her back, and held it out to me.
It was a blindfold.
I was confused. "Why are you giving me this?"
"You need to put it on." Lin replied, thrusting it into my hands.
I looked down at it, then back to her. "Why?"
Lin glared at me. "Just do it, you stubborn bitch!!"
I laughed, as she smiled at me. "Okay, holy shit."
I pulled the strap over my head, and my world went black. I sighed, and held out my arm.
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but lead the way."
*******
Lin didn't let go of my arm, but I didn't know how long we had been together or where we were. I could hear muffled screaming, and my heart started pounding.
What the hell?
Suddenly, Lin stopped in her tracks, causing me to stop as well.
There was silence for a moment, and then my best friend ripped the blindfold off, and my mouth dropped open.
Crowds upon crowds of people were cheering for me as I stood on the stage, surrounded by the members of Aerosmith.
Instantly my eyes met Steven's.
I was completely surprised; I didn't know he had a concert tonight. He hadn't told me.
I just stood there, as Steven winked at me, then grabbed his scarf wrapped microphone, and started to speak.
"Now that my lovely girlfriend has arrived, we can get started!"
I rose an eyebrow, as Steven walked closer, stopping right in front of me.
I didn't even have time to think or breathe before he was crouched down on one knee, microphone perched on his other. He reached in his pocket with his free hand, and pulled out a little silver box. He opened it, and my breath caught in a gasp.
My hands started to tremble.
"Rose Raynor, I didn't know any other way to do this, but I have to. I have to make you my wife because I can't see myself living without you. You're the most beautiful woman, inside and out, and I am one lucky son of a bitch. We've gone through more than we deserved, but it only made us stronger. I promise I will never leave your side, and love you for forever. Baby, will you marry me?"
He spoke all of this into the microphone, and I could hear fans' reactions from the crowd.
I didn't know I had started crying until I felt my cheeks, and they were wet.
I laughed, and nodded, launching myself into his arms.
I didn't care.
I kissed him long and hard, and the audience exploded into applause and catcalls.
We pulled back after a minute or two, just smiling and looking at each other.
Steven slid the ring on my finger, and it felt like it belonged there.
I was breathless, and I didn't want to ever let go.
Steven's lips curled into a beautiful facial-haired smile. "Thank you for barging into my hotel room that night in Maui." He whispered.
I chuckled, happiest I've ever been. "Thank you for leaving the door unlocked."
Steven let out an adorable laugh, and I couldn't help but laugh with him.
I knew now:
This wasn't lust, this was something else entirely.
This was love.
