Wow, only 3 more of the pictures you took of me left, this was another one of the happiest days of our lives, well my life anyway. What am I meant to do when I have no more to look at? What will I do with myself? I don't know yet but I know nothing will stop the pain coursing through my body, you would have stopped the pain but you are no longer here.
September 10th 2012
I wake up to a knock on the door, confused I get up out of bed, I look over at Simons side to see him still sleeping, he looks so cute, his mouth is hanging half open and his hair is a mess.
I walk out of the room quietly, knowing he will be grumpy if I wake him up.
I quickly walk down the stairs and head for the door. I look through the little peephole and see Laura, my best friend standing outside, a massive bag in her hand and a smile on her face.
I open the door and she immediately pushes past me and heads for the living room.
"Uh Laura?" I say as I walk over to her. She looks at me and smiles again before speaking. "Hello Delly, do sit down."
I sit down slowly beside her, feeling a little apprehensive about the situation.
"What's going on Lau?"
"Simon and I have a surprise for you. This big bag here, is full of makeup. All you have to do is sit still and relax. Where is Simon?"
I don't even know what to react to first, I decide to answer her question.
"He's still asleep, it's only 8:00am Laura, do you realise that?"
"Of course I realise that silly! Go wake him up!"
I stand up and go upstairs, I walk into the room slowly and sit on the bed.
I kiss Simon on the cheek, then the lips and then I move to his neck.
He starts to stir so I decide to sit on him to wake him up fully.
Suddenly I feel his hands on my bump, slowly moving them to my waist, then to my ass.
"Oh no you don't mister. Laura is downstairs, something about a surprise."
He sits up really quickly, almost head butting me in the process.
"Shit! Come on get downstairs now!" He says and he picks me up bridal style, with some difficulty as we get off the bed.
"You can put me down now."
He places me down at the top of the stairs and I walk down and sit back down beside Laura.
Simon sits across from us, his hands folded together on his lap, looking like he means business.
"Adele, listen carefully, something very important is happening today, we have a surprise for you. Ms.Dockrill here is going to be doing your makeup while I go to a secret place in our garden and make this very important surprise."
I nod my head slowly and Simon suddenly stands up, he kisses my cheek and heads outside.
"Now let's get started on your face!" Laura says excitedly.
•••
After what felt like forever of Laura poking prodding at my face, she declares that she is finished and hands me a mirror.
"Wow Lau, this is actually so lovely! Thank you babe. Can I have my surprise now?"
She checks her phone and then nods her head yes. She fixes up my messy hair a little and takes my hand in hers.
She leads me to the back garden and I see a little area with a picnic and candles, Simon is standing beside it, a smile on his face.
The moment I stand in front of him he is down on one knee, my hands are over my mouth and anyone words apart from the most beautiful words I have ever heard are blocked from me.
"Will you marry me Adele?"
"Oh you know dang well that I will!"
I put my hand out and he slips the ring on my finger.
I smile widely and hug him, Laura is clapping and I laugh softly.
After another few hours of small celebrations, Laura leaves and Simon and I are left on our own.
I end up in my own little world, the sound of a click taking me out of my thoughts.
"My fiancée." Simon softly says as he hands me yet another Polaroid picture.
I'm sorry this is rushed. Hope you enjoy anyway xx
