-----------------------------------------------

Victoria's P.O.V.

Tears pool in my eyes and I bring my hands up to cover my mouth as I gasp, looking at the diamond ring sitting in the box in Luke's hands.

I'm completely speechless, Luke just asked me to marry him.

He nervously bites his lip and I realize I haven't said anything.

"I- Yes." I choke out, nodding with a huge smile. "Yes!"

The biggest smile stretches across his face before he takes the ring and slipping it on my finger.

When he stands up I press my lips to his and we share the most passionate kiss we've ever had.

The butterflies in my stomach are insane right now.

"I love you." I mumble before connecting our lips again.

"I. Love. You." He says between kisses.

We pull apart and Luke's smile has me smiling even bigger than I already am.

"We're getting married.." I whisper.

"I'm so glad you said yes." He mumbles against my lips.

"How could I say no to spending the rest of my life with you?" I smile, leaning my forehead against his.

"I was terrified you would." He chuckles.

"Well I said yes." I smile. "One question though."

"Which is.." He nervously asks.

"What the fuck is going on with your phone?" I laugh.

His phone has been nonstop going off for the past few minutes.

"Probably the guys and Jess, they knew I was gonna propose so I guess they're making sure I didn't chicken out." He blushes, "Which doesn't make sense, since they could be ruining the moment."

I smile, "We should go see them after to tell them."

"Later we can, yea." He smiles back.

"I'm so happy." I quietly say as Luke pulls me onto a hug.

Then everything starts to set in and I begin to panic, "Wait, what is my mum going to say? What are your parents going to say? What about-"

"Vic." He cuts me off.

"Yes?" I question, looking up to him.

"I talked to your mum already to make sure she wouldn't like, freak out over it and my parents are fine, so you don't have to worry about that." He replies, rubbing my back.

"Really?" I smile.

He nods, smiling, "Really."

I pull out of our hug and admire the ring sitting on my finger.

"You like it, right?" He asks.

"I love it Luke.. It's beautiful." I gush.

He smiles, coming up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Just like you." He whispers, resting his chin on my shoulder.

"You've gotten so cheesy Luke." I giggle.
