[C] In Your Arms

proposal

"Ainsley, will you be my girlfriend?"

My jaw literally dropped. I was literally not breathing for 5 seconds and then I let out a heavy sigh.

He was just there, standing in front of me, waiting to hear my long-awaited yes.

The music was just perfect for the occasion. There were lights around, setting the mood to an intimate one.

It was...so surreal.

He was my only crush, my lifetime. I never thought he was the one I've been waiting for. My dream husband is now becoming my boyfriend...how surreal. This moment is dreamlike. I can't even think how all of this became possible.

And so I focused on the present. He was still waiting for my answer, his eyes staring intently at me.

"I...I can't believe that I only see you in front of the TV. You were my dream. You were my dream husband. I never thought a day would come and you would say this. I never thought that I would meet you and...fall in love with you. All of this...I think I'm living in a dream. I...I am..."

Tears began to fall from my eyes.

"I...am thankful for you, Anderson. Thank you for making my dream come true. I could have never asked for more this Thanksgiving."

"Please tell me your answer," he says, holding my hand tight. I feel the coldness of his hands. He must have prepared this for a long time.

"Yes, Anderson."

He smiles at me and hugs me afterwards. We begin to dance to the beat of the music.
