I wake up to a dark room. Colby must have turned off the television. I create a group chat with Kat and Devyn.

S: Hey girls, are you up for lunch today?

K: totally!

D: of course!

Colby wakes up then. "Did I wake you up babe?"

"No, I'm sleeping." I chuckle and kiss his forehead. He snuggles up to me again and he falls asleep again. I set an alarm for 11:30 and fall asleep again.

I wake up to my phone alarm going off. Colby groans. "Sorry babe, I set an alarm because I am going to meet Kat and Devyn."

"Okay. I'm going back to sleep," he says.

"Okay, I'll text you when I get there." I get dressed and grab my keys. I drive to the store to pick up flowers for Kat and Devyn. I arrived at Tender Greens to find Kat and Devyn waiting for me. The host seats us and we order our meals. After the waiter walks away, I pull out the flowers for them, a red rose for Kat and a blue rose for Devyn.

"Aww, what's this for?" Kat asks.

"Well, I have something to tell you both," I say. They look at me waiting for me to tell them. I pull out my phone to show them the video of the proposal.

The first shot of the video is me walking to the beach where Colby is standing. I walk down the steps towards him where he is waiting for me. I get to him and he offers his hand to me. I take it and he leads me over to the blanket. I sit down as he remains standing.

He takes my hands and takes a deep breath. "Samuel Golbach, I love you with my whole heart, with everything I am. You are the reason for my happiness. This past year with you as my boyfriend has been the best year of my life and I wouldn't trade you for anything. You are my world and I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side. So..." He gets down on one knee, and asks, "Will you marry me?" I said yes, kissing him.

"oh my God. He asked you to marry him," Kat squeals. Devyn smiles at me. "Devyn knew, didn't she?"

"Yes, she did. She helped Colby set up the proposal," I say.

"Aww," Kat says.

"So, what are the flowers for then?" Devyn asks.

"Well, I want both of you to be in my wedding." They both get up and hug me, agreeing to be in my wedding.

"I'm so excited, I can't wait!" Devyn says.

"Do you have a date yet?" Kat asks.

"Not yet, but we will after we visit our families in Kansas and see when they can come out to California," I say.

"As for the venue, we want to do it on the beach. We both love the beach."

We finish our meals and hug as we say goodbye. Then I head back home to Colby.

I open the door to our apartment to find Colby waiting there for me with flowers.

"Aww, that's so sweet," I say, hugging and kissing him. He leads me to the living room where he has moved the furniture. He turns on slow music and pulls me close to him. "What's the occasion?"

"That I love you," he says. I kiss him. I lay my head on his shoulder as he wraps his arms around me and we start to dance. We fall on the couch, snuggling up together. He takes a picture of us cuddled up together.

The Next Day

Colby and I wake up to a knock on our apartment door. I get up and answer the door. It's my brother.
"Hey, bro," I say, hugging him.

"Hey, bro. Hey Colby," he says.

"Hey," Colby says from the couch.

"So, when did you two get engaged?" Ben asks.

"How did you know?" I ask.

"The ring," Ben says, pointing to my ring.

"Oh," I say, laughing. "Ready for lunch?" I say. He nods and I grab my keys. We leave the apartment and I drive us to the restaurant. We place our orders and I say, "so I have to ask you something."

"What is it?" I ask.

"Will you be my best man?"

His eyes fill up with tears, "of course I will, Sam."

We arrive back at the apartment and I help Ben bring his things into the apartment. I bring them to the guest room where Ben will be staying for the week.

I head to the couch where Colby is sitting. I snuggle up to him.

"How was the lunch with Ben?" he asks.

"It was good. He agreed to be my best man," I say.

"That's great babe," he says, pulling me closer to him.

"Aww, you two are so cute," Ben says. We smile at him.

"Do you want to watch with us?" Colby asks. He nods and sits down next to us. Always the sweetest.

"Is there a video of the proposal?" Ben asks.

"Yes," Colby says, pulling up the video and hooking it up to the television.

The video began to play and I cuddle up to Colby.

The first shot of the video is me walking to the beach where Colby is standing. I walk down the steps towards him where he is waiting for me. I get to him and he offers his hand to me. I take it and he leads me over to the blanket. I sit down as he remains standing.

He takes my hands and takes a deep breath. "Samuel Golbach, I love you with my whole heart, with everything I am. You are the reason for my happiness. This past year with you as my boyfriend has been the best year of my life and I wouldn't trade you for anything. You are my world and I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side. So..." He gets down on one knee, and asks, "Will you marry me?" I said yes, kissing him.

"Aww, that was adorable," Ben says, smiling. "Well, I'm tired from the flight so I'm going to bed, night."

We both say good night to Ben as he heads to the guest room.
