addison's pov
dixie and i had been together for 4 years and i couldn't be happier. we'd both just graduated college and moved into an apartment together in L.A. things took unexpected turns that we never could have imagined.
dixie had become a big shot photographer over here. i got signed with a modeling agency, and our followers were growing at the speed of light. it was crazy that this many people knew who we were. i mean we went to college and moved out here not expecting anything but just happy to be with eachother.
we'd graduated and went to different colleges. our life's consisted of facetiming every night and going months without seeing eachother. we still had fights. hell sometimes we wouldn't talk for a week just waiting for the other person to apologize. we've had highs and lows but i couldn't be more grateful for her. after everything i still love her.
speak of the devil. i felt dixie start to shift and open her eyes slowly.
"good morning beautiful." this is how i started off every morning.
"good morning love." she gave me a small kiss and rolled out of bed.
and by rolled in mean literally rolled. i heard her hit the floor. she pushed herself off the floor and walked over to my side of the bed.
"its saturday right? what time is it?"
"like 10:45." i answered her.
"just checking, that means i don't have work and that means i don't have to put on actual clothes."
"i swear your favorite thing to do is walk around me half naked."
"no, i'm just most comfortable this way."
"yeah let's go with that." i got out of bed.
"you literally have no room to talk, your also half naked so shut it." i gave a small laugh.
dixie's pov
words could not explain how much i love this woman. that's why today i was going pick up the engagement ring i'd been looking at. i was ready to call her my wife and spend the rest of my life with her.
"dixie!" she yelled dragging out the e.
"yes addison." i said walking back into the other room.
"i wanna go on a run."
"okay, but we're stopping for breakfast after." she nodded.
i walked over to our closet and pulled out a pair of joggers and a sleeve less shirt. addison put on a pair on leggings and sports bra and a t-shirt.
"now we pray that we don't get seen by the paparazzi." i joked.
don't get me wrong i love that people know who me and addison are and i love that we get to preach love is love, but getting bombarded with cameras on date nights or in general isn't my favorite thing.
she giggled and dragged me out of our apartment.
we ran quite frequently and occasionally stopped for breakfast.
"last person there pays." i said bolting down the road.
field hockey payed off for something. i slowed down because i knew addison was a good ways behind me.
that's when i saw him. the one and only hollywood fix guy.
(did i just include the hollywood fix guy? yes yes i did)
"dixie! dixie!" i stopped running and looked to the guy who's name in think is fletcher.
"hey, what's up?" i said.
"nothing much, the fans wanna know what's up with you and addison lately."
"well right now we're on a run and i decided to race her so she was behind me." i turned to look behind me a sure enough there she was.
"actually there she is." i said to him and addison continued to jog, only stopping when she got to me.
"hi!" she smiled at the guy and the camera.
"so like i said the fans want to know what's up with the two of you."
"you know we're really good. we're on a run, staying healthy, and enjoying life."
"yeah, we're just spending some quality time this weekend before work picks up again on monday."
"okay. okay. well i'll let you guys finish your run. i just wanted to say i think your a really cute couple. any last words to say to the fans?" he says.
"we love you guys and just remember that love is love." i said to him.
we smiled and said our goodbyes before starting to run again. we ran with eachother not continuing our race.
upon arrival i opened the door for addison.
"looks like you're paying." she said walking up to the counter and ordering her stuff.
"we knew i was paying even if i was first."
i ordered my coffee and sat down with addison.
i felt her hand slip into mine, and i smiled.
it's was crazy that we'd come this far together. we'd come from strangers, to best friends, to strangers, to soulmates. it was insane to think i ever thought i didn't need her, when i reality i did.
i heard our order get called so i walked up to the counter to grab our stuff.
"a bagel and water. how very addison of you." i joked.
"make fun of me all you want, but i'm not the one drinking iced black coffee."
"i feel attack, and first off i have sugar and cream in here."
"yeah dixie, barely."
"but it's still there." i said.
"whatever." she rolled her eyes jokingly.
we finished our breakfast and took and uber back to our apartment. we headed straight for the shower.
"i gotta go run out a pick up to equipment for my camera after we get out of here, but i want to take you out tonight. we haven't had a date night in a while, so what do you say?" i asked.
"that sounds great dix, now can you pass the conditioner because i've asked you like five times for it."
"oh sorry." i chuckled passing her the bottle.
i quickly finished showering giving addison a kiss on the cheek as i exited to go change.
i walk into the closet and grabbed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, then putting on some white shoes to pull the outfit together.
"okay addi i'm leaving now! love you!" i yelled before shutting the door and walking to my car.
i got in. i drove to the jewelry shop. upon arrival i parked and locked my car.
i pushed the store door open and walked to the desk in the back.
"hi, i'm here to pick up a ring under the name dixie d'amelio." i smiled at the person behind the counter.
"i'll have that out in just a second" they walk to the back and came back with the box.
i payed and walked out of the store walked down the sidewalk to the camera store not far from here.
i was approached by a few people and ran into the hollywood fix guy again. i swear this guy was everywhere all at once. i went into the store and picked up the equipment i had ordered. i walked back to my car and drive back to the apartment.
it was about 1:30 at this point so i started figuring out how i wanted to propose.
well i was bringing her to dinner, maybe we could go some place after. i was honestly so nervous i had no idea how to do this. so i called the only person that ever help when i called. kate.
i told siri to call kate and began to hear the dial.
"hello?"
"hey kate we need to talk."
"what did you do this time. i'm not bailing you from jail again."
"that was one time, and i was 16!"
"but no. i'm proposing to addison tonight be i don't exactly know how i want to do it."
i heard an ear piercing scream come through the phone.
"what the hell is going on?" i heard kate's boyfriend's voice.
"sorry ian." i said.
"DIXIE'S PROPOSING TO ADDISON!"
"wow cool, good luck dix."
"thanks ian. now kate i need help."
"i'll leave you two to it. bye dixie." i heard the door shut figuring ian left.
"okay so what do you have planned out?"
"well we're going eat dinner at a nice restaurant, but i don't know what to do after that." i told her.
"well i mean you could propose in a the restaurant, or like on the beach."
the beach sounds perfect.
"KATE YOUR A GENIUS! THANK YOU SO MUCH I GOTTA GO LOVE YOU BYE!" i hung up the call and pulled into my parking space.
i hid the jewelry box in the bag with my camera stuff.
"honey i'm home." i said loud enough so she could hear me.
i got no response so i walk into our bedroom to see her passed out on the bed. huh. that run must've really kicked her ass.
honestly i was kind of tired too. i slipped off my shoes and climbed into bed, a nap never hurt anyone. i wrapped one arm around addison's torso and dosed off.
hours later
addison's pov
i woke up not knowing exactly what time of the afternoon it was so i grabbed my phone and checked the time. it was 5:45 so i still had time to lay here. i went on instagram to pass some time. it was insane i mean there were literally fan pages for us. i just never expected this to happen.
judging by the soft snores coming from next to me dixie must've been asleep.
i took this as my chance to get back at her for all the time she's taken pictures of me sleeping and posted them. i took a quick photo and simply captioned it "nap time with @dixiedamelio" i clicked the post button and my phone instantly blew up with notifications.
i decided to go around and like a couple of comments as the raven haired girl next to me continued to snore.
i laughed at one comment from charli saying "my favorite couple looking adorable while napping? yes i think so."
i felt dixie's arm pull me closer as she moved her head and put it on my shoulder licking her lips before falling back asleep. i clicked of my phone started to thing about my future.
i thought about how one day dixie or i was going to propose, which would most likely be her, but it didn't matter. one day we would have kids. i thought about what the would be like, i would wake up and dixie would be up already cooking breakfast for all of us, and our son or daughter would come running in and hug my leg because they'd be to short. i thought about how dixie would give me kisses on the temple as we overlooked the place below us. i smiled at the thought of all of it.
"come in dix, wake up. it's time for date night."
"mmm really?" she says voice raspy from her nap.
"yeah it's like 6:05 and knowing you, you're going to take forever to get ready."
"but it's so comforting right here." she whined
"i know, but you can sleep more tonight when we come back, i promise."
"okay." she mumbles pushing herself of the bed and onto her feet.
"so where are we going and how do i need to dress?" i asked.
"nice casual."
i walked to the closest as we were back to back looking at our sides.
"colors?" she asked.
"blue maybe, we don't have to match though."
"yeah but i think it's cute when we match on rare occasions."
"aww look at you being all romantic and stuff." i joked with her.
"ouch, i'm not joking."
"i know but your still a fuck girl in my eyes." i laughed.
"WHAT? HOW?"
"not physically but the tendencies are definitely still there."
"i'm offended." she scoffs jokingly and walks away.
"come pixie on we have to get ready."
she walks over to me grumpily.
"hey, you know i was just joking right?"
she nodded and gave me a kiss.

we changed and walked out of the building, i made sure to grab the ring before heading down. i walked over to her side of the car and opened it for her. she smiled and i closed it jogging back over to my side. we drove quietly to the music addison was playing from her phone.
in about 15 minutes we were at the restaurant and the beach was just across the street.
"perfect" i thought to myself.
i grabbed her hand as we walked in the restaurant. she gave me a smile that could melt my heart.
we ate dinner facing no problems and enjoying ourselves. it was time to leave the restaurant, but i didn't tell addison we were going to the beach.
i told addison to wait outside the restaurant as i went to go grab the blanket i brought so we could sit on it.
" where are we going?"
"well i thought sitting on the beach and watching the sunset would be a perfect way to end of tonight."
"you really are a romantic."
"see i told you!" i exclaimed.
i heard her laughter. i swear her laughter the most angelic sound ever, and i always wanted to be someone that could make her laugh and smile.
i laid out the blanket and patted the spot next to me. she sat down and leaned on me placing her head on my shoulder. i placed my head on top of hers as we watched the waves crash into the shore dissolving almost immediately.
"you know i love you addison. there's nothing i'm more grateful for than you. i'm sorry that i ever hurt you, but i hope that the years i've spent trying to fix that made you see that i truly do love you. through ups and downs no matter what i've always loved you, and it made me realize that i really do need you." i shifted finding the tiny box in my back pocket and held it in a closed hand.
"what i'm trying to say is , addison rae easterling, will you marry me?" i said now on one knee.
she tackled me backwards into the sand and gave me and kiss like never before. she pulled back and our foreheads were together.
"yes. yes. yes. i love you dixie." she kissed me again.
"so do you want to put the ring on?" i asked.
she nodded her head rapidly as i slipped the ring on her finger.
"it's beautiful dixie."
"just like you."
months later
still in dixie's pov
(also call me basic but play "a thousand years" by christina perri)
no way in hell was i actually marrying the love of my life today. this is insane, i'm mean there was a part of my who didn't even think i was going to make it out of high school alive, but look at me. i just turned 22 and i was happier than ever before.
i was standing at the front of the isle smile never leaving my face. i've waited so long for this moment. the moment i get to call addison my wife.
the service started and i watched as the bridesmaids and "grooms men" walked down the isle.
addison chose all girls but my sis wears a mixture of both, but obviously my "best man" or woman should i say was kate.
i knew she's was about to come out and i was trying to bring myself not to cry. i watched as she walked arms linked with her father. he eyes were sparkling and i felt like that same lovesick kid i was in the summer before freshman year. i felt a tear start to slip from my eyes as i quickly wiped it away. this is all i ever wanted. was to finally be happy and i was finally getting that after years of struggle.
she was standing in front of me and i couldn't take my eyes off of her.
(i googled a wedding temple thingy so this isn't exactly my own words)
"addison easterling and dixie d'amelio- today you enter as individuals, but you will leave here as wife and wife, blending your lives, expanding your family ties, and embarking upon the grandest adventure of human interaction. the story of your life together is still yours to write. all those present have come to witness and celebrate your love and commitment this day - eager to be a part of the story not yet told." the officiant paused.
"true marriage begins well before the wedding day, and the efforts of marriage continue well beyond the ceremony's end. a brief moment in time and the stroke of the pen are all that is required to create the legal bond of marriage, but it takes a lifetime of love, commitment, and compromise to make marriage durable and everlasting. today you declare your commitment to each other before family and friends. your yesterdays were the path to this moment, and your journey to a future of togetherness becomes a little clearer with each new day." i knew it was my turn to say the vows.
"addison, i promise to always be there for you, to shelter and hold your love as the most precious gift in my life. I will be truthful and honor you, as I embrace as the most important part of my life. I will care for you always and stand by you in times of sorrow and joy, forever nurturing the love I feel for you." i said looking into her eyes.
the official notified addison that it was here turn.
"i pledge to you endless strength that you can count on when you are weak. i'll be your music when you can't hear, your sunshine when you can't see, or your perfume when you can't smell. you'll never need to look further than me. i'll be your days and nights when you need them filled, your spark of life in the darkness, your hope when you're down and out."
it was time to exchange rings and i was going first.
"I [dixie] give you this ring, a symbol of my love, as I give to you, all that I am, and accept from you, all that you are." i slipped the ring onto her hand.
"this ring is a token of my love. i marry you with this ring, with all that i have and all that i am" she put mine on my ring finger.
"and now, by the power vested in me by the state of california, i hereby pronounce you wife and wife."
"dixie you may kiss your bride." i didn't hesitate to pull her into a passionate kiss.
we pulled back.
"family and friends! i now present to you mrs. and mrs. d'amelio!"
(now everything below this point is my writing)
i started to cry as i pulled addison into another kiss and everyone cheered.
5 years later
addison's pov
it had been 5 years since we'd been married and i wouldn't trade this for anything else.
me and dixie had two kids now. our son isaac and our daughter olivia.
issac just turned 4 and olivia's 3. i couldn't be more thankful for the two of them and their mom.
"momma!" issac yelled coming in the room.
to tell the difference our kids call dixie mom, and me momma.
"yes baby, what's wrong?" i sat him down on my lap.
"where's mom?"
"mom is on her way home from work. she'll be home it just a little bit."
speak of the devil.
i heard the door pen and someone yell, "i'm home!"
"mom!" he yelled excited running out of the room.
i got off the bed and woke up olivia from her nap, i picked her up and walk the the kitchen.
i saw dixie putting her camera bag down as our son was wrapped around her leg. i laughed at the sight and walked over giving her a kiss.
"hi adds." she says softly.
"hi pixie."
"look buddy the sun is setting, let's go take some pictures."
issac would definitely be following in his mother's footsteps with his love for photography.
dixie opened up the doors to the balcony and grabbed her camera. i watched as she lifted our son onto the railing securely holding into his waste as he held her one of her cameras. she looked back and motioned for me to come out with liv.
i walked over to her as she placed our son on her hip and held him there. she wrapped one of her arms around me waist and laid her head on my shoulder.
"hey dix?"
"yeah?"
"if you could go back in time and tell yourself one thing what would it be."
"i would tell myself to stop pushing you away because in the end i need you."
we stood there in silence as the sun dipped below the horizon.
