How We Met! S.M

Bonus Chapter: The Proposal + The Wedding

Shawn's POV

September 26, 2019

Olivia and I woke up and went about our day, we had to fly out to my next tour destination, but what she didn't know was that I had a whole dinner planned and that I was going to propose tonight. I'm really nervous about how I'm going to ask and how she's going to answer, I hope she'll say yes but I don't actually know what she'll say.

I had bought the ring with my mom and sister when we were in Toronto so I could have a woman's perspective and it was just a nice bonding moment for all three of us. I chose a silver banded emerald ring with small diamonds surrounding the emerald and on the band of the ring. I thought it was very fitting for Olivia because her birth stone is an emerald so it's more personal to her and her personality.

Olivia is more like an emerald than a diamond, still very beautiful but just a little different in the best ways. She still shines bright but is unique and beautiful. I love the ring and I can't wait to see her face when she sees it, god I hope she says yes, but if she doesn't then that's ok to I'll just try again at a different time.

We get dressed and get on the plane and hours later we landed and get settled in our hotel room and it's now 6PM and our dinner reservations are at 7PM so I go ahead and get ready and tell Liv to get ready for dinner as well. I'm wearing a navy blue patterned shirt, navy blue slacks, and black dress boots.

I tell Liv that I'm going to wait for her in the lobby and to come down whenever she's ready. I exit the room and take the elevator down to the lobby, I then take a seat in the comfy little waiting area. After another 20 minutes Olivia exits the elevator and she looks absolutely stunning. Her dress is beautiful, her make up, hair, and shoes are all beautiful and match her outfit perfectly.

We got to the restaurant and got seated and ordered our drinks and a few minutes later ordered our food. While we were ordering our food I pulled the waiter closer to me and whispered for him to put the ring in her drink that I would order for both of us later. I handed him the ring in a small black pouch as sneakily as I could.

He nodded to me and proceeded to his job. Olivia was looking at me suspiciously and I'm literally trying not to give it away because this is a big moment for both of us and it's a big milestone in our relationship. I hope she hasn't caught onto what my plan is, I don't think she is but still I hope not.

After our food arrived I ordered us both a glass of champagne and nodded at the waiter signaling him that now was the time. Ok I'm growing even more nervous but it's now or never so I just gotta go for it. The waiter comes back a few minutes later with both glasses and I can definitely see the ring in the bottom of her glass and I smile softly.

I watch her and wait until she sees the ring and makes the adorable shocked face that I love so much. After she took the first sip of her champagne and her eyes grew wide with surprise at the ring in her glass. She takes her fork and fishes it out of her glass and wipes it off with her napkin.

I stand up from my chair and get on my knee in front of her and gently take the ring from her and hold it in my hands. She covers her mouth with her hands in shock and then pulls them from her face and sets them in her lap. Her eyes start welling with tears. I start my proposal speech hoping more than anything that she'll say yes when I ask her the big question.

"Olivia Mae Webb, I knew from the moment that I met you that you would be one of the most important people in my life. I knew that I couldn't live without you in my life, I know that I still can't live without you now. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever had the pleasure of dating and loving so completely. Not only are you the most beautiful woman, but your the most beautiful human I've ever met, inside and out, you are light in my life and to this world and you always shine so bright. You have helped guide me through my darkest times and have been there for my brightest ones too. I love the way you are around my family and how you already treat Aaliyah like your little sister, and the bond you have with my parents. I love that you get a long with all of my crazy friends and consider them your own, and don't get me started on how much you love my fans. Sometimes I think that you love them more than I do, and you show that by getting to know them at every concert and make them feel so comfortable around you during the shows. It makes my heart beat quicken and fall even more in love with you that I already am. Olivia you have accepted all of me, the good parts and the bad." I say and Liv covers her mouth with her hands as happy tears fall freely from her eyes.
