Saving Belle

Chapter 19

The anticipation was building. I knew he was asking for marriage.

I know my answer and I have since he first said it. But call me old fashion, I still wanted the romance in it.

I had my head tilted to the side and a moan escaped me as Matt nibbled on my ear.

"Remember how this feels. How good this is."

I chuckled. "Are you nervous?"

Matt kissed my shoulder. "No." He lied. "I have complete faith in you. I trust you no matter what."

Matt's lips left my skin and he slowly lifted his hands. I blinked a couple times and gasped.

All those candles we walked past. They said something.

WILL YOU MARRY ME?

He even had the question mark there. I felt the tears build up. It was a beautiful scene.

I turned back to Matt to find him on one knee and holding an open box with a gorgeous diamond ring.

My hands flew to my mouth as I inhaled sharply.

My heart was in a flutter.

"I mean, like we don't have to get married. But stay with me." Matt whispered. "I need you."

He went to stand up but I pushed him back down. "No. I want the whole cliché." I laughed.

Matt went back on bended knee and looked at me, grinning ear to ear. "Sarah Zillman, my Belle. Will you make the happiest man on Earth by doing the honour of marrying me?"

I smiled widely at him as I pounced on him. We went rolling in the grass until Matt landed on me.

"Marry me." He placed a kiss on my lips. "Marry me." He said again as he kissed me again. "Marry me." He growled.

"Yes." I laughed as I kissed him. It seemed like hours that he was on top of me kissing me.

Matt helped me up. "Are you sure?"

I looked at him. "Positive."

"But what if i-"

I gently pushed him and ran. I laughed down the hill as my hair whipped around me and I held my shoes.

I ran around the candles until I felt Matt's arms around my waist. He planted a possessive kiss on me.

"Don't ever run from me." He growled.

"Never." I grinned as Matt pulled me in to him.

"Promise?"

"I promise." I rested my head on his chest.

"Promise me you will never leave."

I frowned. I just did. But I said it again to keep him happy.

"Where are we?" I broke the silence.

"Our future home."

I turned to Matt. "Did you buy this land?"

Matt nodded and squeezed me closer. "You can design it any way you want." I was astonished as Matt kissed my head.

We were nearly at the car when Matt's phone rang.

"Hello?" Matt answered. I watched his glare go cold then his eyes went to me. I stilled as I watched Matt's facial expression change from anger to fearful to rage.
