117 - It's Because I Love You

February 2018

Katie P.O.V

"Yes, the Kardashians is on" I said to Brad as he sat down beside me on the sofa, "did you know it's my guilty pleasure but I just don't like telling people that."

"I did know that" he replied, "I also know that your favourite colours are pink and green, your favourite food is cereal and you would have it for every meal if you could, your favourite place in the whole world is London which is why every day here to you is amazing no matter what you do."

"Brad what are you doing?" I asked him but he didn't reply he just carried on talking.

"I know that your favourite kind of date is one where you don't have to leave the house, I know that you practically live in pyjamas and that you hate wearing make up but you wear it anyways because you think you need it. I know that no matter how many times I tell you your perfect you don't believe me and I know this because every time I tell you you hide your face with your hair or you look at the floor."

"I know every single thing about you Katie and do you want to know why?"

"Why?" I asked, both confused yet incredibly touched.

"It's because I love you" he smiled, "I love how you don't care about what others think, or about doing what others tell you to do. I love how when you smile you get a little dimple and how you laugh at about pretty much everything. I love being around you because you can always make me smile and you make everyone around you happy and as cheesy as it sounds I love everything about you, every perfect thing and every flaw. I love you for you, inside and out which is why I am still with you and want to be for a very long time."

"Brad what's going on?" I asked him as tears began forming in my eyes.

"Katie I met you 1520 days ago, now that's a lot time to have known some one and I've loved every second of each day we got to spend together, not only that but I knew I liked you just a short month after that. I've loved you for 1370 days and I told you this 1306 days ago. You made me so happy by telling me you loved me too 58 days after that day and we had our first kiss roughly 18 days later. Our first date was 1197 days ago and our second date was 22 days after that meaning you've been my girlfriend for 1175 days. We broke up on April 25th 2014 which is 1047 days ago just before you left for Australia and we were apart for a total of 83 days. After that we just forgot all about those 83 days and they don't matter anymore because if you don't fall out of love then they don't technically count. Finally you became my fiancé 730 days ago and that makes it exactly two years today. Those are all just dates and numbers but what's really important is that I knew on this day two years ago that you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with even at the age of 20, now that I'm 22 nothing has changed and I still love you, I always will."

"I love you too" I smiled wiping away the tears that were now beginning to fall.

"Your probably thinking that I've told loads of other girls that I love them which is true but that's because I thought I loved them. I've always had this vision in my mind of what love is and what it feels like to love someone and even though it didn't feel like that with those other girls I just assumed that I loved them. It's not until now that I realise I didn't love them, because now I know what love truly is which is why I can honestly say that I love you and I know that I do. This is what I've always imagined it would be like and even more."

"Now before you say anything there is something I need to tell you."

"Go on" I managed to say.

"Well next Friday something very special is happening and it's something both of us have been waiting a long time for but just haven't got round to it. The problem is is that I need to ask you something before it can happen" Brad smiled as he stood up off the couch and bend down on one knee and then the tears starting falling uncontrollably, he took hold of my hands and took off the engagement ring that I was currently wearing.

"Now I know most people say that after 5 years your suppose to re propose if your not yet married but you told me that your dad re proposed to your mum after 2 years because he felt that 2 years is long enough to be engaged which is why today, two years after I first proposed I'm back here again. Katie I love you like I've never loved anyone before and I never knew that the beautiful girl I met in Santa Monica who got knocked down by Tristan in his go kart would still be in my life today but can I just say that I'm so glad she is. My life has changed so much since I met you and we've defiantly had our ups and downs yet I wouldn't change a thing because if I did maybe we wouldn't still be together. Now you've probably already guessed what's happening next Friday but don't worry everything has already been planned with a lot of help from Livi, Megan and the boys."

"Everything?" I asked shocked that Brad would have gone to so much effort.

"Yes, everything" he smiled, "and the only thing left to do is buy the dresses, I thought it was best to leave that to you because I'd only get it wrong. Apart from that there's only one part missing, and that's an answer. So Katie, will you do my honour of agreeing to marry me next Friday and spending the rest of our lives together?" Brad asked as he held up the engagement ring.

I just nodded my head as I couldn't find the words to reply and Brad slid the ring back onto my finger. I stood up of the sofa, flung my arms around his neck and then he began spinning me round.

"Is this really happening?" I asked Brad once he'd finally stopped spinning.

"Yeah, finally this is actually happening" he replied leaning forward and kissing me whilst placing me on the arm of the sofa.

"How long did it take you to work out all those dates?"

"Forever" he sighed.

"But if you thought it was romantic then it was worth it" he added.

"It was perfect" I smiled before kissing him.
