Melanie's POV

I sit on the couch in Zach's apartment in his arms, watching a movie. We decided to have a sleepover, because the world is so hectic and crazy at the moment. I rest my head on his shoulder, and he smiles and drops a kiss to my head.

"I love you, have I told you that?" he says to me. I look up at him, and nod my head slowly.

"You did once or twice..." I reply. He frowns.

"What's wrong?" He asks, his handsome face filled with worry and concern. I shake my head, shrugging him off.

"Nothing." I say, giving him a small smile. He raises his eyebrows.

"Nothing? Melanie, we've been together for nearly four years. I can tell somethings up." I open my mouth to say something but Zach holds up a finger. "Don't give me some bullshit. What's wrong?"

I sigh and slump back, realizing I have to tell him about the one topic I've been holding off on for so long.

"I...I have to tell you something. And you're probably not going to like it, but –" Zach cuts me off.

"I'm not going to judge you, or anything. Just tell me." He says, and I bite my lip.

"Alright. Well you know how I don't ever really talk about my father?" he nods, and I continue. "He left my mum when I was five, and after he was gone we found out that he had been cheating on my mum the whole time they were married. Turns out he also did drugs like meth, and weed, he smoked and chewed tobacco. I didn't want you to know, because I was scared that you would think I was the same. And I know its so stupid, but I was always a little worried that you would do the same, but I never thought you would. I-I just wanted to be sure."

I let out a breath, and wait for his reaction. He sighs and then takes my hands in his, and kisses them.

"Angel...don't think those thoughts, because never in a million years am I going to leave you. There is no one in the world that I want to love besides you baby. I've had these thoughts too, but I've realized that it's ridiculous to push those you love away because you're scared of unrealistic situations. I refuse to leave you even if you wanted me to, so why would I ever leave you for no reason at all?" he raises his eyebrows, and I don't answer, looking at our hands.

"Exactly, I wouldn't. These ideas and what-ifs only bring negatives... they make you afraid to love me and put all your trust in me and that breaks my heart so why break us both with believing in a simple put, bad thought? Mellow, you need to remember I'm right here. I'm always gonna be here and I'm never gonna leave you. I love you too much to leave you alone or leave you forever." He kisses my hands again.

"Those times when you're mad at me and won't talk to me kill me because that means I have less time to spend with you. Every second counts with us and every second matters. Not a day goes by where I don't constantly worry if you're okay or if you're feeling alright. I worry about you more than anything because I love you more than anything. My love for you is different than anything else, my family bond is given with birth but our love is chosen and even more special and meaningful." I feel a tear slide down my face, and Zach brushes it away with his thumb.

"Your love is worth it's, weight in gold and is priceless Mellow Ruth Swanson, my angel. I'm like a peasant and your royalty. I'll be your superhero and you can be my queen. I am never going to leave you, I'm here forever. I'm not gonna cheat on you, do drugs or walk out on you because I love you and only you. There's no other person in this world that is worth breaking your heart for. Our love means everything to me and always will. You understand me in a way that no one else can, you stick by me even after I can be horrible and mean to you. We love each other and we both know that. That dream was just, a dream, and it will never ever be even a decimal of a percent realistic sweet girl." His voice is hoarse by the end of his speech, and a tear slips down his cheek as well.

I bend over and cover my face with my hands, crying, and Zach pulls me into his lap, stroking my hair, and whispers to me.

"Tonight is all about you, okay? We'll do everything that you want. Like remember that time we slid down the stairs on a mattress because we were bored? I didn't want to, but you made me, and it was amazing. I'll do anything you want, angel." He whispers in my ear, and I look up.

"I love you so much." I smile though my tears and he leans down to kiss me. Then I pull back, a cheeky smile on my face. "You'll do anything?"

He nods, then raises an eyebrow. "Why...what were you thinking?"

*****

"I think my eyebrow is coming off. Oh god, it actually is. Melanie, what do I do?" I giggle and take the washcloth and wipe the facemask off of Zach's face, gasping when a section of his eyebrow really does come off.

"Um...it's a good thing we're in quarantine then. You won't have to see anyone but me for a while." I tell him, laughing as he tries to kiss my face.

"Oh well. Hey, come here." Zach grabs my waist, pulling me to him and leaning down to kiss me. I smile and slide my arms around his neck. We kiss for a minute, then he pulls away, a smile playing on his lips. "I have an idea."

He grabs my hand, pulling me into the living room. He disappears for a few seconds, and I hear the faint sound of music. Then he comes back with a speaker and his phone, "Lights Down Low" playing softly. He sets them down on the bench, and grabs my hands, spinning me around.

"Dance with me!" I laugh and dance with him, singing the lyrics. We dance together until he grabs both my hands again, and kneels down in front of me. Then he pulls something out of his back pocket, and I see that it's a ring box.

"Melanie, I love you so much. Sometimes I can't even believe that you're real, because you're so damn perfect. So will you do me the honour of marrying me, and making me your husband?" Zach asks me, and the tears start all over again. I nod, sobbing, but this time because I'm so happy.

"Yes. Yes, I will marry you." I tell him, and he grins and slides the ring onto my finger, before sweeping me up in his arms and kissing me. We wander over to the couch, sharing a few more kisses before watching another movie. I start to fall asleep first, but I feel Zach kiss my head.

"Holy crap, I can't believe that I can call you mine forever. Angel never forget that you're my everything, you're my whole world. Have the sweet dreams and may the sunshine on you tomorrow. Goodnight Mrs. Herron." He whispers.

And I feel exactly the same.

I hope u liked it, and requests are still open : ))
