"Daniel." I whispered. I was excited. Flying even! But still shocked. I needed someone to hit me to make sure that I was not dreaming.

"I fell in love with you the day I saw you. You complete me in every way. I want to share every moment of my life with you. I will take care of you and I will never make you cry. I promised that before, and I am promising again because, Amber... I love you." His voice fell into a whisper, and tears filled my eyes as he spoke. Each word cut through my heart as all the horrible days passed by. I never though that I would find someone to love me that way. To care about me that way.

"I promise to never leave you alone. I promise to be with you for life. Will you... Marry me?" He held an open box with a diamond ring in it. When I heard these words, A soft sob escaped my lips as I collapsed on my knees in front of him. I pulled him into a hug without caring if we were causing a scene. I blocked it all out, and it was just the two of us in our small little world.

"I love you so much, Daniel. Of course, I want to share your last name." I sniffled into his neck.

"I loved you yesterday, I love you still. I always have... I always will." I whispered softly pulling away.

"Oh william Blake is right in front of me, or what?" Daniel teased pulling away, I just chuckled pushing him by the shoulder softly while wiping my cheeks.

"Let me do that..." He whispered leaning in while wiping my tears, then I felt his soft lips. I closed my eyes enjoying the moment ignoring everyones whispers, claps and cheers.

I felt that it was all a movie. Yeah, a movie. My life is a movie, and in it, Daniel is my protector... My armor.

"We're still on the ground." Daniel whispered with a smirk.

"Yeah" I said, and he stood up, brushed his hands and helped me up. Finally, the scene was over, and I was no longer a girlfriend but a fiancée.

We were back to the hotel, The one in Walt Disney. I stayed in the bathroom for few minutes thinking about the events of the day. It was all amazing from the first second. There's only one thing that is worrying me. Mum and Edward's reactions. I know that they won't like the idea one bit, but I won't let that happen. It's my life not theirs.

I brushed my teeth, and walked to the bedroom to be greeted by Daniel. He was lighting some red candles which made me smile widely.

"What are you doing?" I aproached him slowly putting my hand on his back.

"No questions. Leave yourself to me" He whispered giving me a light peck on the lips. Seconds later, the soft music filled the room and Daniel aproached me.

"Will you give me the honor to dance with me, ma'am" He smiled cheeplishly, and I laughed at his cuteness.

"Gladly, monsieur" I smiled giving him my hand.

His body moved swiftly with mine, which is strange. He was dancing perfectly, now.

"You really improved. Heh?"

"As you can see." He smiled.

"But how? I mean, you broke my toes few months ago." I teased.

"Oh really now?" He raised a brow as he turned me around making me giggle.

"Yeah really." I smiled as I stood straight, and hugged him tightly breaking the dance. I just felt like doing it.

"you're okay?" He asked pulling away.

"I am perfectly fine. I just... " I paused and my whole mood changed dramatically. I can't deceive him any longer. "I don't wanna lose you." I cried hugging him again while he stood there puzzled.

"Baby what happened? I am here with you. Why are you crying." He walked me to the bed and sat me down in front of him.

I could see the concern and love in his eyes, and that made me feel hundred times worse. I couldn't keep it from him anymore. I couldn't.

"Amber now talk because you're really worrying me." He snapped.

"Why did you do this? Why did you propose to me even when you know that I am keeping something from you." I cried, and the look on his face says that the question took his off guard.

"I-I- because I love you. I can't live without you. You're the one who fixed me after... After she broke me. Yeah, I was shattered, and you fixed me. That's the problem. You don't know what you are to me. You thought that I was strong, but I was far too weak. I want to... Live with you forever even if you're hiding something from me. Marriage is the first thing that came to my mind because... We need a witness to our lives. There's billions people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the mundane things... All of it, all of the time, everyday. You're saying 'your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un witnessed because I will be your witness.'" His eyes were glossy, and I felt horrible for hurting him, but I have to let out the last words, and after that it will be his choice. He could quit or continue this relationship.

"You mean that you won't leave me, ever?" My voice cracked as I asked.

"of course not!!"

"Even if I told you that my real name is not Amber George?" I looked at him straight in the eye waiting for his reaction.
