4 years later

A lot has changed in my life in a short amount of time.

Not so long ago my world was eternally bleak, never knowing what was right in front of me, how people were looking at me, or how I'd be living my life. I had given up hope by that point on ever seeing again, forever stuck in a world of darkness. Until I found my light.

This small, adorable, and determined woman came barreling into my life. She became my life.

What started out as simply an annoying girl sent to help me around school has become more than I could ever imagine.

After my eye surgery and our graduation we set off nearly immediately for our first destinations. We traveled all over New York state those first few months and as any tourist does we started taking photos of our journey. Of course Bellas always seemed to be some form or another of me looking ridiculous either mouth half open full of local food or bed head so bad you can't even see my face. But according to my Beauty I happened to 'have an eye' for taking some pretty good photos of where we are.

Personally I thought nothing of it, I simply tended to notice the little things more than the average person. Either way she started posting them for our friends and family to see. Then some more people found our travel page. And some more. And even more till we had thousands of followers within our first year.

Now that was all good and fine, a surprise for sure but nothing compared to the first time my 'work' was formally bought and put into an art gallery for half a million dollars. Yeah you read that right, half a Million dollars. And that was only the first exhibit. The shock was so strong I couldn't stop crying. I never expected to get as big as I did and it's only been a couple years. Who knows what the future holds.

Where we once were scraping to be as cheap as we could in our travels to do even more later, we now can get paid to go on vacation as long as I bring my camera, and of course my favorite setting model, my girlfriend/co-worker.

Bella happens to be one of my main focuses in my works. Don't get me wrong I do plenty of shots of just our destinations, but for me, she brings out the beauty and wonder of wherever we end up. The smile on her face when we opened the doors to our bungalow here in Tahiti stares back at me from one of our work laptops and I can't help feeling all warm and tingly inside knowing my next decision has been a long time in the making.

I set up one of my cameras that can take video up on the far side of our room with a new memory card. I don't want this moment in our life to get lost because I ran out of data storage and I'm sure my mother will yell at me for not letting everyone be there when I pop the question regardless but I want this to be just me and Bella. So a simple compromise no one really knows about and I get a 2 for 1 on not having to say over and over again how I proposed when I can just show them. Checking that the entryway is in frame I mentally note in the back of my head how wide of a range it captures for the review I'm getting paid to do on it. I'll admit I'm a little impressed how it manages to not only capture the wide doorway but the entire room as well, definitely a pro to be tested later on the foliage and sea outside.

Once everything is set up my nerves start to kick in and the box in my pocket feels like it's trying to burn it's way out and I start to pace our room. Soon enough I hear footsteps nearing our bungalow and know it has to be Bella coming back from the resort with pamphlets of information and barely have enough thought to remember to press record before I get down on one knee.

"I think we should hike to the waterfall tomorrow as our first stop and then-" head bent over her findings the words on her lips get caught once she finally notices me. I feel like I'm sweating bullets and it has nothing to do with the tropical heat.

"Bella, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. There's no one else I'd rather go on this journey with than you. You've made me the man I am today by always believing in me and what I could do even when I doubted myself. I have watched you get more beautiful as time goes on and I know you'll be even more beautiful when we're old and wrinkly sitting on our front porch watching the sun set. I want you by my side for now and forever. Isabella Walsh, will you marry me?"

In an instant the papers are on the floor as she dives for me crying out her reply "Yes, yes, yes! A thousand times yes!" catching her in my arms I can taste her tears on my lips as we kiss each other. Pulling back I place the ring on her finger before bringing her back into my arms.

Our kissing grows more frantic and needy. Her fingers card through my hair then start tugging my shirt off with a desperation I can't help but copy as I pull her swimsuit cover up as well.

Caressing her sides I pull her tight into my lap encouraging her hips when they start to rock as my lips descend towards the strings holder her bikini top around her neck, nipping at the flesh around it.

Lifting us up onto the bed our mouths find their way back to each other as my hands start tugging the strings off her body while hers frantically pushes my shorts down. Hiking one leg up my hip I rub my cock through her folds earning a whimper each time I brush across her clit.

Soon enough I have her begging me and in the next second I'm buried to the hilt inside her, groaning into her shoulder at the exquisite feeling of her warmth squeezing me. The way she moans my name has me thrusting back in immediately, my pace quickens so fast I'm plowing into her in under a minute holding onto her hips to keep her in place.

Our touch is all over, her hands keep pulling me in encouraging me to go faster, harder, and my tongue is having the time of its life traveling between both of her breasts nipping and sucking her flesh into my mouth.

Neither one of us lasts long, the pleasure is to intense. Bellas legs start to quiver around me, her cries get louder and suddenly her back arches as she lets out one long screaming moan. Her hands digging into my ass pulling me as tight as I could go sends me with her till we both are shaking from our orgasms.

Cuddled up after playing with her hand on my chest I suddenly sit up in bed.

"What's the matter?" Bella asks

"I recorded the proposal." I tell her as I rush to the tripod "And everything after apparently" Finally stopping the camera I turn back to the sound of laughter and can't help but smile at the beauty of her tousled hair and joy on her face as she cackles about having to edit it to be family friendly.

This woman has agreed to marry me. My Bella. My Sugar Cookie.

My Beauty
