Archie's POV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was so nervous everything had to go perfectly, I had put everything together it was Ruby's big day she had completed her specialist paramedic course and I had a surprise party for her in the Hope and Anchor and I had got us both time off and had
to book a last minute flight to the Maldives, I had even packed for her as we were going the morning after the party. Everyone was in on the surprise except Ruby and Robyn she was an amazing nurse and friend but she could not keep a secret to save her life so she would be let in on it 2 minutes before our shift ended and everyone went ahead secretly to the pub "so how was your day Red?" "good yeah got a bit of a shock when.. " SURPRISE!!!!" everyone yelled Ruby's mouth hung open, I had never seen her speechless "I'm so proud of you Red" i grinned cheekily kissing her cheek she fended me off but smiled and ordered her favourite wine "wait why did no one told me that this was a surprise party" Robyn asked I just glanced at charlie "you're not the best at keeping secrets Robyn' Ruby answered she pouted but our mood couldn't be ruined and when I surprised red with the flight tickets even robyn couldn't contain her happiness.
The next morning was an early one and I had to drive, not that I minded of course Ruby looked so damn cute when she slept. Eventually we were on the flight and a million things were running through my head, as the flight descended I was a wreck of nerves; we crashed into the hotel bed exhausted when I woke Ruby was on her laptop " hey do you want to go for some dinner then a walk or something?" I asked, "that'd be great" she replied. I quickly got dressed and went downstairs to mentally prepare myself for the evening. The food was amazing and afterwards we walked across the beach hand in hand, when we reached a flat rock jutting out in the sea I realised it was now or never I pulled Ruby up on the rock and took a deep breath and got down on one knee "Ruby Sparks, the day we properly talked for the first time I was quite rude to you but you helped me out and gave me a new lease of life, I love you; would you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" she was crying and saying yes over and over I slipped the ring on her finger and it fit perfectly it was a clear cut diamond with a ruby on either side.
Now I had to play a prank on Robyn, the whole E.D was in on it "Hey Robyn " "Oh hi Archie, you know I'm still mad at you for not trusting me" "I know which is why you're the first person I'm telling about this" I said popping the ring box open. "Oh my god are you going to ask Ruby to marry you?" "yep but you can't tell anyone okay" she grinned excitedly and I ran back to the betting pool, otherwise known as the front desk "okay I've just told her, place your bets now" after an hour she cracked and told Noel and Jade "CALLED IT" I yelled, everyone groaned and handed me the money, Robyn couldn't be mad for long and soon joined us in the Hope and Anchor for champagne, I looked over at my glowing fiancé and all my friends laughing and joking together , that moment was pure bliss sitting taking in how lucky I was.
