10- Love nest

"I am so proud of you," Darius beams as we walk into his apartment, "your final dance was incredible my beautiful girl."

"Thank you babe," I grin looking up at him from undoing my shoes.

"I am going to need you to close your eyes babe. I have a surprise for you," Darius lifts me up into his arms bridal style.

"You have always been the king of surprises," I giggle opening one eye to peek at Darius' face.

"Baabe don't peeeek," he grumbles.

"Sowee," I laugh and squeeze my eyes shut. It is kind of disorientating being moved by someone but not being able to see. I tuck my face into Darius' neck whilst he moves about for second. I guess he forgot something.

"I am going to kneel, just thought I'd prewarn you," I can hear the excitement in his voice. He lays me down and the confusion/excitement heightens, "open your eyes."

When I open my eyes, I see twinkly fairy lights attached to the ceiling of a blanket fort. Darius has set up pillows and cosy blankets. He has even set up a projector that is playing videos of us together against the wall.

"Oh my word Darius! This is amazing, I am awestruck. You have put so much effort into this," I sit up to get a better look of Darius' creation, " your surprises keep getting better. How the heck did you find the time between lunch and graduation?"

"Zac helped me," Darius smiles laying down next to me.

"Oh of course," I chuckle. The boys always work together. I remember once Darius had to help Zac set up a whole picnic in their parents garden, there was lights, flowers, candles and lots of blankets. They are both such perfectionists it took them hours.

"I have ordered pizza and it's due to arrive very soon. Baby did you know it is our two and a half year anniversary?" Darius pulls me into his side to snuggle.

"Of course I do. I was just so busy, I'm sorry if you thought I'd forgotten," I tilt my head up to kiss his cheek.

"That is why there are the videos playing," he runs his fingertips over my cheek.

"I had a feeling," I smile, "look at all the memories we have made in that two and a half years. We have been through so much. I am looking forward to the many more to come. Darius you are my best friend and the one I love most. Tonight when I was dancing I wanted to not only express my love for dance but my love for you. You help me to be a better person and encourage me to reach for the stars and I hope that I can be that person for you. I want to walk alongside you and do life with you for the rest of my life," my words cause Darius to pull me on top of him and sit me up so I am straddling him.

"God did the bestest thing ever when he gave me you. I love your heart and your soul. You never cease to show me just how much you love me. It honestly blows my mind that so much love and compassion can fit a in person. I love you to the moon and back my beautiful girlfriend and I intend on making you my wife some day."

I lean down and capture Darius' lips with my own. I can never get enough of his kisses. Our lips move fit together perfectly. Darius' hands move to my hips, then up my back. His tongue darts out to lick my bottom lip before he flips us over so he is lying between my legs. My mouth opens in a gasp when Darius squeezes my hips. He takes this opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth. He explores my mouth slowly before my tongue swirls around his. I will never grow tired of the passion that Darius ignites in me. The inevitable happens and I have to pull away to catch my breath.

"Oh Darius you have scrunched my dress," I pretend to grumble.

"I can stop kissing you if you'd like," He winks creeping his hands up the outside of my thighs.
