Sick Of Calling You My Girlfriend

Shawn's POV

The ring.

It was the most beautiful ring and it screamed Camila. When first seeing the ring, it was not meant to happen. I was out getting some items for myself when I happened to stumble across a jewelry store that had the most beautiful ring.

Flashback
Shawn's POV

The jewelry store I had just passed on my way to purchase yet another a pair of black, pointy boots, It was decorated with an array of polished diamonds and majestic stones. I knew that I'd be going back there but I wasn't quite sure why.

During the time I was at the shoe store, the jewelry store could not pass my mind. So there I was, pondering the thought of why I was in here and what I was searching for, exactly.

There was a ring. This ring, it was the most beautiful thing besides Camila, of course. It was polished, nicely and cut to perfection if I do say so myself. The gem had a blinding shine as the sun's light shot through and it made my heart skip a beat. I stood there, breathless, transfixed by the enchanting and smooth surfaced jewel.

Standing there, infinite times did I imagine the ring glimmering on Camila's finger with the most entrancing smile. I don't know if I could gather the courage to act upon my thoughts. But yet, here I was, purchasing the diamond and thinking of countless ways I could possibly hide this blinding of a jewel.

Present
Camila's POV

I was awoken by nothing but the light shining in from our hotel room window. But not only was I awoken by the light, I was awoken to cold and empty sheets that didn't consist of a well built, tall, curly haired man that I called my love.

I flinched at the contact of my foot touching the chilled tile floor but didn't let that stop me from making a strong attempt to find him.

"Shawn?" I called out but nothing. My worries died down at the beautiful sight of him strumming his guitar on the balcony. I watched as his back muscles tensed as he strummed but once the melody was made, his muscles relaxed.

I took in a sharp breath when his head whipped around and met my eyes. The smile that was plastered on his face was lazy and charming. "Hey, beautiful." He whispered, gesturing me to come closer. He parted from his guitar and opened up his arms to engulf me in a warm hug. I felt his chin rest on my head before he slowly kissed it.

"I didn't want to wake you...you looked so peaceful." He muttered, capturing my lips into a soft kiss. "Thank you...what were you doing?" I turned my head towards the guitar on the ground of our balcony. "Playing around."

It was incredible that he could do so much with his fingers and I didn't realize how dirty that could sound but I wasn't wrong.

He blinked as his eyes adjusted on me. He squinted, looking up and down my body before licking his lips. "Damn..." he whispered, almost to himself. I chuckled, "what?" I pushed at his bare chest.

"My girlfriend...she's hot." His voice was husky and deep, making me swoon. His hands found his way under my top that was his. I was only in one of his t-shirts that was many sizes too big and just my underwear. He roamed his warm hands over my sides before keeping them there. "My boyfriend is pretty hot."

He groaned, throwing his head back before bringing his head back down to look at me. He locked our lips in a slow and passionate kiss before saying something in between that made my heart stop. "I'm...getting...sick...of...just calling...you my...girlfriend."

I pulled away, a little hurt and taken aback by what he said. "W-what?"

"Oh...god! Not like that...I just meant-" his eyes lightened up before a goofy grin appeared on his face. As for me, I still had the look of confusion. "Wait here." He gripped my shoulders before making his way back inside.

My mind was doing all sorts of jumping to conclusions. I didn't want to but I couldn't help myself. I didn't want him to be sick of me.

I parted from my thoughts, slightly when Shawn appeared back in front of me. One of his hands were tucked in his pocket but it was obvious that there was something hidden in there. I eyed him carefully before realizing that he intertwined our hands.

"Mila...I didn't mean that I was sick of you. But I did mean that I was sick of calling you my girlfriend." A grin stuck onto his face but my eyes dropped down to our hands which I tried to detach but he only held on tighter. "Hey..." he shook our hands, "look at me, baby." I did.

"I love you and I want my forever with you. I know you're the one...you were the one from the beginning, you're the one today and you're the one forever. I love you...but I want to call you my wife. So...if you'll have me...will you marry me?" There was a shimmer in his eye as he bent down holding the most beautiful ring inside the velvet box.

I couldn't help but gasp. The tears ran down my face. Never would I've imagined that he'd propose to me, early in the morning, on a balcony in front of the most beautiful view.

I loved it. It wasn't too much and extra. It was simple and full of love. The fear in his eyes were very visible. "Oh...my god, yes! What the hell? Of course!" I squealed, still not being able to process.

He smiled wider and slipped the gorgeous smooth stone onto my finger. He stood up and I couldn't hold back any longer but I smashed our lips together. This one felt different, this one was meant for a new beginning.

"I fucking...love you." I whispered into his neck after sharing the most amazing kiss.

"I love you, baby. I can't wait for what's to come." He looked down at me, kissing my nose before we both brought our attention back to the ring that sealed our forever.
