Covid was now taking the world by storm and we have been in quarantine since the end of her tour which Ariana completed at the end of 2019.
When we began quarantine we didn't know what to expect or how to live now that everything changed and this was starting to be the new normal. We both weren't used to almost never leaving the house until now.
But that was then, now it's been months of social distancing and spending every bit of time with my babygirl that I realized I was taking everything for granted. I appreciate everything a lot more and I am infatuated with Ariana and my love for her expands every day we spend cooped up in this house together.
My fingers thread through silky strands of hair belonging to my beautiful girlfriend of almost 2 years that was currently curled up on my lap.
Her curious brown eyes find mine as she takes her focus off of the Truman Show. She looks up at me as her hand cups my cheek, caressing it and my jawline with her thumb.
"I love you, baby." Ariana says, nuzzling her nose against mine.
I sit up and she moves a little to where she's straddling me. I grip her hips firmly bringing her in closer as I bring our lips together.
"I love you more, beautiful."
I cup her face in my hands, my finger tips getting lost in the baby hairs on the nape of her neck.
"I'll never love someone as much as I'm in love you Ariana. I wanna marry you." I grin, bringing my lips to her nose and pecking it softly. My words making her cheeks turn crimson and her dimples deepen.
"It's...it's so crazy how you've held my heart in your hands for so long...and you continue to bring me the most happiness and love in the world, baby. I'm so happy that I found you coming out of my darkest year and you not only brightened my life but you showed me what real, selfless love was. You're in my dreams and in my reality and you're the love the of my life." She says starting to tear up, my thumb automatically wipes away the tears that ran in cascades down her face.
"No...babygirl don't cry." I began placing kisses all over her face until she started giggling and trying to shove me away.
"Baby!!! nooooo your lips belong here!" She says pouting cutely and pointing to her lips.
"Okay, okay. fine." I lean in and capture her lips in a deep kiss.
We both smile in the kiss causing us both to break apart again, blushing like teenagers.
"You're the cutest." She whispers against my lips, pecking them multiple times as I wrap her up in my arms, holding her against me.
She focuses back on the tv and cuddles deeper into me. My lips find her neck as I give it delicate butterfly kisses. They trail up to her ear kissing both the bee and crescent moon tattoo behind her ear.
She laces her fingers with mine while they rest on her abdomen. My free hand resting on her thigh, caressing it.
We laid there for a while comfortable in each other's embrace while I silently gathered the courage to ask the girl I love to marry me. Yes I am a dumbass because I don't have a ring to give her yet I just want to live in the moment and right here in this moment I want her forever.
I don't need to waste any more time. I'm not going anywhere and neither is she. She's mine. She's owns my heart and I couldn't fathom a day without her next to me.
My steady breathing on her pulse point calmed my heart as it wouldn't stop racing.
"marry me?" I whisper in her ear.
She turns her head up sharply in my direction, causing me to sit up straight.
"What did you say?" She says in disbelief not fully believing she heard me correctly because her stare was grilling into mine.
"Will you marry me, baby?" I ask again, but grinning widely.
"Yes! one hundred percent yes! without a doubt." She bites her lip as I cup her cheek and bring her lips to mine, kissing her longingly.
