The Affair

Chapter 8

-Anniversary Night-

Sam's POV

I got to the Santa Monica beach and I saw absolutely no one there, which was so suprising because usually there is tons and tons of people. Probably Aria booked something for only us. I kept walking and walking around the beach until I saw Aria with candles surrounding her, a basket of food, rose petals, the sound of the waves, and of course Aria. She was wearing a teal maxi dress that when she stood up she looked perfect. Her hair also looked different. It was getting lighter on the ends and then her beautiful smile. When I got closer I saw that the sand said Sammy & Aria est. 2013. She wrote it write where you could even see the sunset. It was amazing.

"About time you showed up handsome." Aria said.

I gave her a kiss. "Well, I'm here now beautiful."

She chuckled. "God, you look amazing Aria."

"And you look pretty dandy yourself Mr. Wilkinson."

We ate some tiny sandwiches and I brought a bottle of champagne.

"Cheers to one year."

"Cheers." I said.

Aria's POV

Sam immediately stood up.

"Sam, where are you going?"

"Aria, there's something I need to tell you." He held both of my hands and looked at me straight in the eye.

"Aria..." He went on one knee.

"I love you. And I hope you know that. And I know your dad isn't really okay about us but all I know is that I love you. Your dad, your mom, your brothers even your dog can't change that even though you don't have a dog but I know I am not good at these kind of things but what I know is I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to be with you. And only you. From the first time I met you I thought you were some 24/7 angry lady but once I got to know you, how adorable you were, your laugh, your personality, your smile... god I can go on but I love you Aria Gonzalez. And I am asking you to be the person I spend my life with, make babies with, and to love for the rest of my life. Will you be my Mrs. Wilkinson?"

I was crying and then I was laughing and crying during his speech. So I said. "I love you Sam! YES!" I kissed him and we both ended up on the blanket we were sitting on. He put the ring on me and then we both stood up and I leaped right into his arms.

Later that night, we were running around chasing each other and then of course we got wet. Sam splashed me and then I laid on the wet sand. Sam followed me and laid down next to me.

"I love you so much." Sam said looking at me.

"I love you too that words cannot explain how much I do."

"Well, I love you sooo much that it would take me my whole life maybe even more just to show how much I love you." Sam replied giving me a kiss on the forehead.

We soon went home and I just had the most biggest smile on my face.
