See I could do without a tan on my left hand where my fourth finger meets my knuckle…

The room became still and all I could hear were those words repeating themselves…

Kiss me like you wanna be loved…

“Love?”…. His voice sounded so far away.

My thoughts clouded my vision and tears formed under my eyelids.

“I knew I shouldn’t have done this…” he mumbled sadly as he started to close the box.

Cause lately I’ve been waking up alone…

“Yes”…. My voice sounded suddenly small in the large room.

Ed looked up at me between tears and reopened the box with a smile.

“Well then, here’s to the future Mrs. Sheeran”, he murmured as he kissed the top of my hand.

I laughed amidst my happy tears.

“Mrs. Sheeran huh? I can get used to that”, I said with a smile and grabbed his face and kissed him hard.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my face into his neck.

We just stood there for a while; his arms wrapped around my waist, our eyes interlocked, like nobody could come between them. It was us… And it would be us forever.

“Well, you ready to go home my love?” Ed asked, kissing my nose lightly.

I yawned. “Yeah, it’s been a pretty full day… Plus I do have work in the morning and all”, I sighed.

“What would happen if you just didn’t go?”Ed asked suddenly.

“W-what do you mean? I have to go… It’s my job”, I said slowly.

Ed grabbed my hand. “Come with me to London”.

My eyes widened. “But my home is here…”

Ed chuckled slightly. “But now that we’re getting married and all, don’t you think we should live together?”

Damn I really should have considered all of this before I said yes…. Everything was just happening so fast, my thoughts were caught in a whirlwind.

But it was truly a beautiful whirlwind…. One I was willing to take.

This is the start of something beautiful… This is the start of something new…

“I’ll go into work tomorrow and give my two weeks notice” I said suddenly, the words seemed to tumble out of my mouth.

Ed smiled and squeezed my hand. “I can’t wait to show you all the possibilities there are… We’ll do it together.”

Butterflies filled my stomach. I wanted so bad to believe they were good, but I couldn’t help but feel sick to my stomach that I had just made a terrible mistake…
