Our carriage came to a stop right next to the beach. Zoe had a confused look on her face as i stood up and started to step off the carriage. I held out my hand as she held her dress so she wouldn't trip and stepped down.

"Alfie, why are we on the beach?"

"You'll just have to wait and see"

I took hold of her hand and guided her down the ramp towards the beach. The relaxing sound of the waves filled our ears as we took a few steps. We continued to walk along the stone covered beach, Zoe's head rested lightly on my shoulder and my arm wrapped around her waist.

Zoe's eyes lit up as she saw a table and chairs positioned perfectly in the middle of a heart of candles. That was Marcus' idea. A single white daisy and a tall thin white candle was placed on the table. I pulled a chair out, signalling for Zoe to sit down. She took her seat as i walked around the other side and took mine.

"Everything is so beautiful" she whispered.

"You like it then?"

"Of course"

The light breeze danced majestically in Zoe's hair as it swept back out of her face. It was surprisingly warm considering it was quite late at night. Moments later Marcus appeared holding a glass bottle filled with sprite, Zoe's favourite drink, he poured it into two glasses handing one to me and the other to Zoe. She giggled at the sight of Marcus in a posh waiters suit as he left the table. I took a sip of my drink as i gently placed my hand on top of Zoe's. She blushed as we looked into each others eyes, the moon light shining on her face perfectly.

Marcus returned shortly after with a margherita pizza made by his italian uncle and a bowl of mashed potato. He placed the food in the middle of the table, moving the daisy and candle to the far side. Zoe smiled at the weird combination that happened to be her favourite foods.

"You know me too well Mr Deyes" she chuckled.

"Indeed i do Miss Sugg" i smirked.

We both took a slice of pizza and bit into it. Zoe's eyes widened at the amazing taste. My taste buds tingled as i swallowed my first mouth full of pizza. Marcus' uncle really knew how to make a good pizza. After several other bites i had finished my first slice, so had Zoe.

"Thank you" Zoe smiled.

"What for little one?"

"Everything, all of this is just amazing"

"I'm glad you like it, i just wanted to show you how much i care"

"Awww Alf that's so sweet"

I blushed and took another bite of my pizza. I started to get really nervous as the next thing i was about to say could ruin everything. Either that or it could make everything even more amazing. It was a make or break situation.

"Zo, can i ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Well i just wondered...."

"Yeah?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I murmured.

Zoe's eyes filled with tear, this was not good. I had just ruined everything. I can't believe i could be so stupid to think she felt the same way. I coughed to try and stop the awkward silence.

"YES" Zoe shouted.

"What?"

"Yes, i'll be your girlfriend"

I breathed a sigh of relief. I couldn't believe it, Zoe actually said yes. This is what i've wanted since i first met Zoe. I stood up and hugged her tightly. I was never going to let her go again.

We finished the pizza pretty quickly after that and Zoe ate her mashed potato. We also finished two glasses each of sprite and were now enjoying just talking about everything.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" I asked.

"Sure"

We stood up from our table, i took her hand in mine, placed the daisy behind her ear, she giggled and we started to walk. Neither one of us talked but it wasn't awkward at all. The moon reflected off of the sea making it look so much more beautiful. I was pulled out of my daydream by Zoe stopping.

"Are you ok?" I asked confused.

She didn't reply. She placed her hands around my neck and gazed into my eyes. I placed my hands on her small waist and gazed back. She started to lean in and closed her eyes. I found myself leaning in too. Our lips connected and the rest of the world disappeared. We had kissed before but it was nothing compared to that. Every single thought and feeling was put into that kiss. The kiss ended and i slowly opened my eyes. We both smiled widely at each other. I could tell that she had felt the same when we kissed.

As i stared into her perfect blue eyes i reminisced on everything we had been through. I would have never imagined any of this ever happening when we met.
