They napped for a while after their morning activities then shared a much more innocent shower together. Zee was glad his plan didn't really start until tonight. Today was just a go with the flow kind of day and so long as Saint was happy Zee was happy. "Shall we go out to get food or do you want to order room service?" Zee asked once they were both dressed. He knew food was always a good idea for Saint. "Can we go out please? I saw a cute little cafe I wanted to try." Saint said in a sweet voice. Then leaned in and whispered "If you can walk ok that is..." Zee blushed furiously at his words. "Hush you, cheeky Bunny!" He said still blushing. "Let's go."

They walked hand in had to the cafe, stopping to take selfies of photos of things that caught their eye. It was so nice to just be together and take their time just having fun. Once they reached the cafe they ordered lots of food, after all it was past lunch time and they'd worked up a big appetite. While they waited for their food Zee excused himself to the bathroom. He found a quiet private spot and pulled out his phone. He had to make sure everything was still in order for tonight and thankfully it was. The butterflies in his stomach returned but it was 99% excitement. He calmed himself then headed back out to the man he loved.

They ate slowly while chatting about anything and everything. That was one of the things Saint loved most about being with Zee, no matter what they were doing or talking about, he was never bored. Just sitting in silence together was enough to make him happy. It was times like this that Saint realised just how much he loved Zee. No one had ever understood or accepted him the way Zee did and the way they clicked in every sense just blew Saint away. As if reading his mind Zee said "I love spending time with you Bunny. It makes me so happy." He, quickly pecked Saint's cheek. "I love you." He said quietly making Saint grin. "Me too." He replied returning the kiss.

Once they finished eating it was around 3pm and Zee's plan didn't start til 7pm so they decided to just wander around the shops for a while. They tried on funny hats and picked out a few gifts for family. Of course they got an an ice cream to eat while walking around and of course Zee had to dab some of his on to Saint's cheek. Which resulted in a hilarious wrestling match which Zee let Saint win, he got a nose full of Saint's ice cream as forfeit. All in all it was a really enjoyable few hours.

By the time they had dropped their stuff off at the hotel it was 6.30pm and time to put the final part of his plan into action. "Hey Saint, will you come to the beach with me? I feel like a stroll." Zee asked. This was the first time he'd considered the chance of Saint saying no and for the few seconds it took for him to answer he panicked. "That sounds lovely" Saint siad with a smile and Zee breathed a sigh of relief. "Great! Someone told me about a beach cafe so we can eat if you're hungry" Zee said with a hugh smile. "Let's gooo!" Saint said pulling him towards the door. "I just have to go to the bathroom. I'll be one second." Zee raced to the bathroom and retrieved the small box he'd hidden in the cupboard with spare linen in. He walked back to Saint and said "OK, lets go!" Zee said trying to stop his heart from beating out of his chest.

Once they got close to the spot Zee turned Saint  around to face him. "Ok my love, I have one last surprise for you. Is it ok if i cover your eyes?" Zee asked softly. "Oh Zee this trip has been so amazing, haven't you done enough for me already?" Saint asked, feelimg emotional. "I could never do enough for you, you deserve the world. So is it ok" he asked with a smile. "Of course it is." Saint said before kissing Zee "I'm so glad you love me as much as I love you." He finished with a smile. Zee turned him back around and put his hands over Saint's eyes. "It's not that far now, just trust me and I'll guide you." He whispered in Saint's ear. "I trust you with my life." Saint replied.

When they reached the spot Zee stopped and just looked for a second. It was perfect, they'd set it up exactly as he'd asked. He just hoped Saint liked it. He removed his hands from Saints eyes "Ok, you can look now." Saint blinked a few times letting his eyes adjust for a second. When he saw his surprise he burst into tears. Torches had been set up in the shape of a heart and in the middle their was a canopy with a blanket and pillows in the middle. It was so beautiful and thoughtful that he couldn't speak. He turned and grabbed Zee, hugging him tightly. After a moment he managed to mostly stop crying. "Why are you so good to me?" He asked staring into Zee's eyes. "We're good to each other." Zee replied leading him into the canopy.

Zee helped Saint to sit down, making sure he was comfortable before sitting next to him. "I hope you don't mind but I picked the food for us tonight." Zee said trying to sound calmer than he felt. A waiter arrived with two plates of food under covers and placed them between the two of them. "I don't mind at all." Saint replied. Zee lifted the lids to reveal omelette and rice on one plate and stir fried pork on the other. "Just like our first date!" Saint said with glee. "I'm glad you remembered." Zee teased. They shared the food together, occasionally chatting or sharing gentle kisses. After they had finished eating the waiter removed the plates and returned with a huge plate of strawberry shaved ice. Saint grinned remembering their first date. "This is from me this time." Zee said with a smile.

By the tine they finished wating Zee was just about ready to burst. He'd practiced this a million times but he was still scared he was going to mess it up. While Saint was looking at the sea, Zee got down one knee and pulled out the small box he'd collected from the jewelers before this trip. "Saint." He said getting his attention. Saint gasped when he saw what Zee was doing and his hands flew up to cover his mouth. "Please let me say this before you say anything. I'm so scared I'm going to mess this up." Zee said. Saint nodded slowly keeping his hands covering his mouth. "Even before we met, I had this feeling that you were special and when we met I realised I was so right. You are a literal ray of sunshine who lights up my life. My love for you grows every single day and I can't imagine a world where we aren't together. Saint I want it all with you, I want to share a house get married and spend the rest of our lives together. Which is why I had this made." He opened the box and revealed two simple silver bands with a small diamond in each. On the inside was inscribed 'Forever' "Now I know you love me too but if this is all too soon for you, would you please accept this ring as a promise that no matter what I'll love you forever?"

Zee finally looked up at Saint and found he was sobbing silently. "Who cares about too soon! I want all of that too! Of course I say yes!" Saint said before tackling Zee to the ground and kissing every inch of his face. Then he sat up and put his left hand up. "Come on then!" Saint said smiling. "Make me officially your fiance." Zee slid the ring onto his finger and kissed his hand before putting on the matching ring on his own hand.
