An unexpected surprise

-"Open your eyes beautiful!" I heard Ed whispering while his hand was on my face. Gentle he kissed me on my cheek and I started to feel butterflies in my stomach. I searched for his lips and start kissing him. I wanted more in that morning.

I start kissing and licking his neck as I heard him moan in my ear. I wanted his body next to mine, I wanted to feel him so badly.

-"Hey hey, stop!"- Ed whispered. I stopped.

-"What? Did I make something wrong?" I panicked. Why is he rejecting me?

-"No no... it's just, I thought you would want to go to the beach early this morning. You said yesterday ..."

I couldn't believe this is happening. I simply couldn't let him finish.

-"So for a beach you refuse sex?" I yelled. "Ed... do you find me attractive?" I was in tears. He looked at me perplexed.

-"Blair what are you asking?" his voice was so gentle. "I love you Blair and I love your body. Please don't get mad. Let's go. I have a surprise for you!"

Of course! This surprise thing saved him every single time. But still this time it was like he didn't want me. And let's be honest, what guy refuse sex these days? I was mad and furious, but I didn't want to ruin our holiday. So instead of a discussion i accepted that he wasn't into me this morning. I will remember that, Ed. And when I do...

I put on my swimming suit and a transparent dress, a brown hat and we leave the hotel. On the beach we find a place to stay. Ed orders a frappe for me and a beer for him. I was still thinking about what happened this morning. I mean, he never refused sex before especially when I was the one starting it. Ed noticed my absence.

-"Are you sill mad at me?" he asked, but I didn't heard him. "Blair?... BLAIR!" he yelled again.

-"What?" i respond nervous. Why is he acting like nothing happened?

-"Are you sill mad at me?" he asked softly.

-"I am trying to find an explanation for your reaction. You never refused me before so yeah... I think I'm still mad. And above all, you won't talk about it" as my frustration goes up, I can see him a little embarrassed but for me that wasn't enough.

-"It's getting late. We should go and eat something"

Like that! Like i didn't said anything, like nothing happened. Now I was curious how long can he stay like this? Knowing that I'm mad at him.

In the hotel we took a shower (separately) and we dressed up for going out to eat. I put a black dress and black high heels. My hair was a mess so I tide it up on a pony-tail.

-"I'm ready!" i yelled from bathroom. When he saw me he was shocked. "Do you like it?" i asked

-"I love it! You look amazing Blair!" he exclaimed. I forgot the last time I heard a compliment from him so I thought this is his way to make up to me for this morning. I smiled and I thought maybe this night something will happen.

We went to a restaurant near the hotel. We ordered some light food and when the waiter came I couldn't believe my eyes. There were fireworks everywhere and in the middle of them a tiny box. Ed takes the box and with a big smile on his face he got on his knees.

-"Blair Elena Higgins will you do me the honor to be my wife?" he happily asked. I looked at the people, everyone was staring at us, at me, waiting for my response.

I never thought about this moment. I always assumed that this will happen later as after I finish studding and so on. I was speechless and yet I should give an answer. Do I really want this? Is this the reason he refused me this morning? He was too excited?

My thoughts mingled and I was ashamed and happy in the same time. I always saw my future with Ed in it, but this was too sudden. Out of nowhere I heard a voice "Don't do it". I panicked as I turned around to see who said that but all I could see was people smiling and hoping for the best answer a girl could give in this situation. Who said that? Or was just in my head? My mind told me to say no? I think I'm going crazy.

-"Are you going to respond him?!" a woman with a rough voice asked me. I looked at her and I could see that she's judging me. I realize I stood there for a minute without saying a word and just thinking . Oh well... This is the moment!
