RYDER'S POV

I know I love him.

I know I'm going to marry him one day.

Hopefully.

At least I know I'm going to be with him forever.

"Go and get ready, I have a surprise for you." He said.

"Fancy?" I asked.

"I think the dress I packed for you will reveal the answer." He winked.

I playfully rolled my eyes and dug through my suitcase.

I went into the bathroom with the dress in hand.

I put it on and looked in the mirror.

"So sexy?" I asked from the bathroom.

"More or less." He said as I pictured him smirking.

He had packed a black skin tight strapless dress that pushed my chest area up.

I smiled to myself as I did my hair and makeup.

"Babe, did you pack shoes for this dress?" I asked coming out of the bathroom.

He couldn't stop staring at me.

"Staring is bad, Luke." I said.

"What was the question?" He asked blushing.

I giggled, "Did you pack shoes for this dress?" I asked.

"Oh yeah. In your suitcase." He said.

I found a pair of black heels. 

"I-I didn't realize how good that dress would fit your body." He stuttered.

"Aw. Am I making someone nervous?" I asked.

"N-No." He blushed again.

I laughed as he took my hand.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked.

"It's a surprise." He said.

Twenty minutes later, it felt like we were trespassing onto private property.

"Are you sure we're supposed to be here?" I asked.

"Yeah. I know the guy who guards the beach. It's private but he let me do this." He said.

There was a small table with a candle and two plates.

"Luke, I'm speechless." I said looking at the little setup.

"I just wanted to do something nice since it's our last night here." He said.

"Oh yeah." I said disappointed.

"If you're worried about seeing them or flying, don't be. Remember, it's you and I against the world." He said.

I couldn't help but smile at that.

He always knew just what to say.

We watched the sun set as we ate dinner.

"I just wanted to say how much I love you. I know I say it quite often, but you're the only man that's ever treated me like this. I always thought I was incapable of being loved, but you proved me wrong." I said as he held my hand.

"I love you so much more, Ryder. Thank you for showing me what it's like to love." He said kissing my hand.

I posted a picture of us when we got back to the room.

He was carrying me bridal style while holding my heels.
