Dream

-Marina

Today's my birthday and I haven't been talked to.

At all.

By no one.

Not even by bae.

Not Luke.

Luke is bae.

Bae?

Hours pass. And it's now around ten at night and still not a word from no one.

I can't tell what hurts more. My head or my heart. My phone vibrates.

lukie pukie: GO TO TIMES SQUARE RIGHT NOW! :-D

marina&diamonds: wut? whyyy. how could I find you?

lukie pukie: its a surprise. It won't be hard to spot meeee

marina&diamonds: ew. Surprises. Okayyy. Love yewww

lukie pukie: love youu

I don't know what that dork could possibly want, but I know I must come to him.

I change into winter clothes and I internally cheer for deciding on living in a place so close to Times Square. I only have about a block or two to arrive.

I can only imagine what he has planned.

He was right. It was hard to spot him. He brought along his band and filled up the mini stage with 5SOS fans.

"Over there! I found her! I won the 20 bucks!" Michael shouts happily and Calum walks over to hand him the cash.

The crowd screams.

"That's unfair! I'm in the back hidden behind a drum set!" Ashton frowned.

The crowd 'awww's.

Soon a camera was pointed at me and my face was on various screens throughout Times Square.

I look around me and take it all in. Luke comes off stage and hugs me. Which is hard when an acoustic guitar is between us.

"What's going on?" I ask him.

"I love you." He kisses the top of my head and pulls me on stage with him.

"Luke. Guys. What's happening?" I ask and the three shrug and Luke turns to the mic.

"Hello everybody!"

"Hey, guys!" Ashton leans into the mic.

Luke continues. "Today is a very special day. It's Marina's birthday! And boy do I have a surprise." He smiles to himself

"Let's do this." Michael says deeply into the microphone.

Luke plays the beginning of 'Long Way Home' and then they all join in.

Not only can I not believe that they're doing this, but Luke knows that that's my favorite song of theirs. It's only my birthday. No big deal right?

I can't stop looking around everywhere. My face is on almost every screen and I'm in absolute disbelief.

"We're taking the long way home..." They wrapped up the song.

"Marina?" Luke taps my shoulder and I turn around to see him slowly going down onto his left knee.

I look around at everyone in confusion. "L-l-luke. What-" I look back to see him tying his shoe and my heart rate slows down.

"Marina." Luke says. I look down to see him holding a small light blue box.

"Luke. What's going on?"

"Babe, please listen. I will kill the spiders. I will share my fries with you when you've finished yours and you are still hungry. I won't ever pop my collar. I will never be rude to your tummy- when I hear it growl or gurgle. I promise to bend down and reply respectfully. I will eat the mushrooms when we order supreme pizza, even though I don't like them very much either." He says and the crowd laughs.

"I will kiss the paper cuts and the door-slammed finger, and the counter-bumped hip. I'll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions and comments during movies. I will be the big spoon. I will let you win at wrestling, sometimes. Other times I will not. I will pull when you want and tease when you don't. I will send you random texts and leave you silly gifts. Not always. Not on schedule. Just whenever I feel you deserve it. Which will be a lot." I smile.

"Whenever I think you need one, or seven, they will be there. I will check your tire pressure. And remind you to take your car in. I will hold your hand. I will be your home. I will love you. And love you I will. Marina, will you do the cliché thing and marry me?" Luke asks and everyone laughs.

I inhale deeply. "Luke, you've been my home since forever. I don't even like supreme pizza very much anyways. You already do these thing. And I love you very, very much. I'd be stupid to not marry you." I smile the deepest smile.

He slides the small ring onto my finger and jumps up. He picks me up in a hug and twirls me around in his long arms. Luke puts me down and peppers my face with kisses.

"I love you."
