marry me?

"what's going on?" i ask ethan as he walks me down the hiking trail where we had our first date.

"you'll see," he smiles."

finally, we reach the log we sat on five years ago.

"on our first date, we sat here, in the rain, and talked for hours. that day, i knew that you're just as crazy as i am, y/n," he laughs.

"that's very true," i laugh with him. is he about to fucking propose?

"then six months later we had sex on that bench over there," he points to a concrete slab at the base of the hill.

"how could i forget," i shake my head at how ballsy we were as teenagers.

"wanna do it right now?" he wiggles his eyebrows.

"ethan!" i push his head, laughing at my goofball. "we have an apartment now we don't need to sneak around to have sex anymore."

"true," he nods, thinking with a finger on his chin. "tonight for sure," he smirks.

"maybe," i shrug, smiling lightly.

"ok back to what i was saying," he begins to get down on one knee.

what the fuck?? he said he wasn't ready to get married. what's he doing?

a huge smile creeps onto my face as ethan grabs both my hands.

"y/full name. five years ago today i made the best decision of my life. i kissed you on this log and asked you to be my girlfriend. and by some grace of god you said yes. and over these past five years i've watched you become a beautiful, successful, mature, young woman. and i'm so thankful i got to be by your side the whole time. you're so incredibly loving and caring and i've never met anyone that works as hard as you do, not only at your job, but showing other people how much you mean to them. i've never been very good at expressing my emotions, but i hope that you can continue to teach me to be a better man who deserves all your love. i love you with my whole being and i'm so happy to be able to feel your love to. i love you more than anything in the world and you'd make me the happiest man alive if you would become my wife and the mother to my children. will you marry me?"

i pick my jaw up off the floor and free a hand to wipe away my tears.

"oh, ethan," i smile and sob. "of course i'll marry you!"

he pushes the ring up my finger, positioning it so it sparkles in the sunlight.

he jumps up, grabs my hips, and pulls my body to his.

"i love you," we say at the same time.

we both giggle and he grasps my face in his large hands.

his soft lips meet mine and he kisses me with such urgency i feel like my body's on fire.

he places his forehead against mine, both of us smiling. "i can't wait to marry you," he mumbles.
