BLUE SKIES • RICHARD MADDEN

real life

Eleanor was currently in her home, cuddled up next to Richard. He decided he would book a flight on another day so he could spend more time with Eleanor.

She snuggled closer to Richard, in which he looked at her funnily.

"What?" He asked.

"What? Can't I cuddle up to my boyfriend?"

"I'm sorry. You're just so beautiful."

"So are you."

The two leaned in for a tender kiss, it slowly becoming more passionate as they moved closer. Richard pulled Eleanor onto his lap, her legs straddling his waist. The two continued to make out, Richard slightly pulling at Eleanor's skin making her moan.

"Wait," Richard paused and pulled away from Eleanor.

"What? What?" She asked in a panic.

"I'm so glad I got you back. It was a mistake for us to break up. I hated being without you and there is no way I don't want to lose you again. I love you, Eleanor. I really do."

"Richard, I love you too. I hated being away from you too. I can't believe we let something so stupid break us apart."

She moved off his lap and sat next to him, her head facing away from his.

"Love? Are you alright?" Richard asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just- I- I don't want to lose you ever again. Do you promise that you'll never leave me again?"

"This is my promise."

Eleanor was confused by his words. Richard moved from the sofa and on one knee in front of her. Eleanor's eyes widened.

No, no way.

"Eleanor Teresa Mitchell. It may only be six months that I've known you and five, nearly six- that I've dated you and in the time that I've known you, I have fallen truly, madly and deeply in love with you. I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you as a friend, as a partner, as a lover. Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife and marrying me?" He took the ring out of his pocket, presenting it to Eleanor.

Eleanor's hands clamped around her mouth, tears slowly trickling down her cheeks. Richard's mouth formed into a nervous smile, however his body was shaking from fear.

Eleanor continuously nodded her head as struggled to get the one small word out.

"Y-yes." Richard's smile grew bigger as she spoke her answer. He took the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger. Eleanor gaped at the stunning rock that sparkled. She pulled Richard by his shirt and crashed her lips onto his. The kiss was full of pure love and happiness. Richard pulled away and smiled at Eleanor.

"My future Mrs. Madden."

"Fuck, I'm excited."

"So am I, love."
