bonus chapter + NEW STORY

in honor of helping us finally reach 1K!!!! I've made a sloppy trailer, a rushed edit above and a bonus chapter!!!

BECAUSE I'M A HORRIBLE PERSON LOL

I'm sorry about the trailer, it was my first time making one and i've had troubles while making one. I just mashed all the random footage I could find about the girl since no one is playing as her. and sorry about the rushed edit above, I just thought of it minutes before publishing the story. There's always room for improvement so let me hear your feedback!

BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO MADE IT THIS FAR AND NOW WE REACHED 1K!! HERE'S THE BONUS CHAPTER, I HOPE I DIDN'T DISAPPOINT YOU GUYS

seven years later

My hand mindlessly played with the square container, feeling its soft fabric against my finger tips.  With my eyes watching the glass door, I waited for her to come outside the company building. I suddenly shove the material in my pocket when her brown curls and familiar figure step outside the glass door. I honked the car to grab her attention. She smiled at me, fatigue was clear in her expression.

I opened the door for her and she came in with a groan.

"Rough day, love?" I asked, driving away from the parking.

"So... rough." She replied, throwing the folder at the backseat as she pulls her hair up into a ponytail.

"Let me guess, your boss is breathing down your neck?"

"Again, yes! She watches my every move with her large cocky glasses that makes her look like a drugged owl. And it stresses me so much, as if I won't get the job right."

"What's the job this time?" I asked to keep the conversation flowing so I can help my growing anxiousness.

"A picky client about her wedding and she literally wants her wedding to scream perfection."

"You'll get it done, I know you can."

My hand flies to her thigh, rubbing small circles with my thumb. "But don't worry, I got the perfect thing planned for just the two of us."

"Aww. Can't wait, babe."

My hand gripped on the steering wheel with anxiousness as I continue to drive. Minute by minute, I grew more nervous and all I hope for is for her to not notice the sudden change in my actions.

"So where are you taking me?"

"It's a surprise."

She gave up all hopes to take at least a small hint from me to where we were going. I can't spoil the surprise that I'm actually going to propose. To ask her to marry me. To ask her to spend the rest of our lives in each other's arms.

"We're going to the cliff?" She bounced excitedly when she noticed me driving into the woods.

"Maybe." I replied with a cocky smile.

Soon enough, we stopped near the cliff with her excitedly jumping out of the car. I beamed at her with the mixture of anxiousness and nervousness sitting in the pit of my stomach. I'm hopeful that I won't vomit once I bring the ring out.
