WITH YOU....

Chapter 17: The Proposal (Will)

I took her to the beach. She kept on asking me where were we going but I didn't reply to her.  I just kept on smiling at her. After reaching the beach i left her in the dark.
"Will??!!!Where did you go ??!!WILL".
Suddenly the beach lit up into a beautiful shape of a dream catcher. Above the sand their were white lights arranged in the shape of a dream catcher. Looking at it Louisa gasped. She smiled. The most beautiful smile i have ever seen. She called out to me again. "Will?". This time with a smile on her face. Behind her another click and the part of the beach behind her was suddenly alive.

She turned . Behind her was a lit up passage that went towards a small table under a cylindrical marble with a dome on top. Inside the cylinder was a table arranged for two people. With a champagne bottle. "Will....". She called out to me again smiling.
"Will what is all this ?". "Will?". I came out this time.  Behind her . I took off my bow tie. It was time for me to do it. I had to do it. If i didn't i don't know what i would do....

"Would it be ok if I took some of your time?
Would it be ok if I wrote you a rhyme?
Would it be ok if I opened my heart?
Would it be ok if I took on the part
Of being your man and showed you a view,
One that only a real man could do?
Would it be ok if I could make you smile?
Would it be ok if I held you awhile?
Would it be ok if I kissed your face?
Would it be ok if I were to replace
All the men in your past that just wouldn't do
And vow to be faithful and always be true?
Would it be alright to look in your eyes?
Would it be alright to never tell lies?
Would it be alright to find a way?
Would it be alright to long for the day
To pull you close and whisper in your ear
And tell you our feelings are nothing to fear?
Would it be ok if I took some of your time?
Would it be ok if I wrote you a rhyme?
To tell you there's nothing I'd rather do
Than spend my whole life loving only you.."

"Amazing and beautiful,
not a flower or a tree.
Much prettier than that,
and only I can see.

Loving and caring
right down to the core.
Filling me with happiness
and so much more.

Eyes are so stunning,
cannot look away.
Gorgeous and shining
all throughout the day.

Here in your arms 
is where I belong.
The beating of your heart
is like a beautiful song".

"Before I met you,
I felt that I couldn't love anyone,
That nobody would be able to fill the void in my heart,
But that all changed when I met you...
Then I came to realize you were always on my mind.
You're funny and sweet,
You make me laugh and smile,
You take away all my anger and sadness,
You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen,
More beautiful than any flower that I have ever seen,
You made me weak when I talked to you,
Then I started to write poems about you,
Now, I have come to realize that I am Hopelessly in love with you."

I walked towards her. She stood there shocked and amazed. She had tears in her eyes.

I held her hands in mine. I entwined her fingers with mine.  She was teary eyed and smiling.

"I hear a million voices in my head
Telling me the things I should have said.
I don't know why I let you go
Oh I learned it the  hard way
Please Tell me it's not too late.
Now my arms are open wide
They're hanging forever, there
Waiting forever, for you
I won't give up on you this time
Cause I ain't holding up, for nobody else
It's gotta be you
When you walked away my
Heart tried to replace ya
With someone like you
But I could never find it
I don't want to fight it
It's gotta be you
I wish I could turn back the time
The power is yours and not mine
Maybe with time you'll see that
I can give you all the things you missed.
Now my arms are open wide
And I ain't holding now, for nobody else.
It's gotta be you....".
"And it can't be nobody else....." I whispered into her ears.

She was crying and laughing.
"Louisa ". I said walking backwards.
"I don't know what you did to me.  I don't know what happened to me. But I've changed. I've changed and I've changed for you. I never thought of getting back to my normal life. I never thought that i would get an opportunity to get back my normal life. I was an arse back then but I'm not one now..... Its all because of you. Maybe if i didn't have an accident i wouldn't have met you and that would be the worst thing come to think of it now. It would have been the worst thing of even imagining that our paths Wouldn't have crossed. And now i think that all that pain and exhaustion was worth it. If everything that happened in my life in these past two years has led me to this moment .....It was totally worth it. "

"It was worth it to meet you. To see you everyday. To look at you everyday as if you're the most cheerful thing in the world. I was a man who had lost hope but you became my hope. You changed me. You made me a better person. And i would rather die than stay away from you. I still remember , the night when you kissed me on the beach and i had told you that you couldn't change my mind . I still remember the pain the guilt the remorse i felt after you left. I was so helpless. So today , i have again brought you to a beach. To apologize for what i had done a few months back. To tell you what i have too.... Louisa Clark you're the best thing that's ever happened to me....You're the first face that i see and the last thing i think about. You're the reason that I'm alive you're what i can't live without...... So I'm asking you one and only one thing. Louisa Clark please marry me...... Because i can't bare to spend this life without you. I can't bare to stay away from you......".

"Louisa,will you marry me ?". I asked getting down on one knee. I took out a ring box and opened it . It had a beautiful platinum ring inside it. She was crying. She was smiling. She was really emotional. "Will I......". She hesitated. A sensation of fear started to build inside me but suddenly it faded away . "Will I am so relieved that you think the same ....." She said blushing. "So does that mean a yes ?".
I asked excitedly. She nodded laughing. It was the best feeling ever. I really didn't know how to react. I was so full of happiness that i would have exploded. As she said yes i put the ring on her finger and picked her up in my arms . I kissed her. I finally kissed her with all my rights.  She was finally mine.  Finally she was mine !!.

At first our kisses were short we pulled back and smiled at each other. But then i put her down and held her face in between my palms.  "I love you Louisa Clark".
"I love you too Will Traynor".
She replied with a smile. And then our lips locked. The relaxation in my body was so evident that i sighed while i kissed her. I didn't want to let go. I didn't want to let that sensation fade away. We kept on kissing until we were out of breath.

" I'm not going anywhere Will.  This isn't our last kiss".
"But i want to kiss you every time like it's our last". I kissed her again. Finally she was mine.
