I've been waiting

Chapter 17

Sabrina POV

I am still floating on cloud 9. Not only last night did Michael propose to me, but today he took me to the theatre. We have just finished watching the play and I have to admit, I did cry. I am a sook, I know. 'Romeo and Juliet' was absolutely beautiful. I am still gushing over the fact I have seen my first play and at the Royal Theatre, of all places.

Michael holds my hand on the way back to the car. "Are you ready for our next stop, Doll face?" That means he has more planned for this evening and even though I hate surprises, I am looking forward to this.

We get back into the car and start off on our next adventure. The ride is silent. I am just basking in the happiness that is surrounding me. The smile on my face is now a permanent feature. I finally took notice of where we were. The road was dark and quite bumpy. "Is this where you drop me off and make me walk or even kill me, Michael?" Michael starts laughing "No baby. I would never do that to you. Who would keep my bed warm at night?" "You're disgusting. Is that all I am to you?" I couldn't contain my laughter at this point.

What felt like hours of driving, we finally stop driving. I take in the scenery before me and notice we are at the beach. "Ummmm Michael, why are we at the beach. Are you going to drown me?" Michael scoffs. "Just get out of the car and walk with me please". We both jump out of the car and start walking towards the sand. I stumble forward as my heel sunk in the sand. I put my arms in front of me to save me from eating sand but the fall is stopped by strong arms around my waist.

"I should have mentioned to take your shoes off" Michael is laughing at me. "Such a loving and caring fiancé you are. Thank you for saving me" "Baby, I will catch you every time you fall". We start walking down the sand along the shoreline hand in hand. The water is soaking the bottom of my dress and my feet were freezing but being here with the love of my life, nothing else mattered.

Michael wraps his arm around my shoulders and whispers in my ear "look straight ahead Doll face" I slowly raise my head up to look straight ahead. What was in the distance caught me by surprise. "Oh my god" I lifted the bottom of my dress and ran forwards.

Up ahead in the distance are my 2 best friends. Jayla and Shane are also dressed up to the nines standing up near the pier. I run straight into Jayla's arms as the tears are falling down my face. Michael finally approaches us and he and Shane bro hug.

"I'm so fucking happy for you Sabrina. You have no idea how hard it was to keep this secret from you" Jayla's arms were still wound tight around me. "I am still so shocked and over the moon about this La. It is like everything I have ever dreamt of is actually coming true" "You deserve it babe"

Jayla lets go of me and hugs Michael with everything she has. Shane grabs a hold of me and hugs me tight. "I am so happy for you Sabrina. You deserve all the happiness in the world" I lean up and give Shane a kiss on the check. "Thank you so much Shane. It means the absolute world to me that you guys are here"

I break away from Shane and make my way to my fiancé. I throw myself into his arms and kiss him with everything I have "Thank you so much for tonight Michael. You have made me the happiest woman alive. You have no idea how much this all means to me especially having Jayla and Shane here" "Sabrina, I would give you everything you heart desires. Plus I couldn't have pulled this off without Jayla's help"

We spend the rest of the night eating, drinking and laughing together as a group. This whole weekend has been amazing in every sense. Michael asking me to marry him. Taking me to the theatre to see Romeo and Juliet and then spending tonight with my all my favourite people. This is the time where I know I have people in my corner.

Making it back to the hotel was a bit of a struggle. I had one too many drinks and poor Michael has had to carry me from the car into our room. My giggles are not contagious to everyone around us. I think they are more annoyed than anything else. The only way Michael can keep my quiet is by placing his mouth on mine.

The next morning we check out of the hotel and make our way to a small café on the way back home for brunch. My head is pounding from the hangover I am currently suffering with. All Michael can do is laugh at me. "It's not funny babe. You should have stopped me drinking. I feel like my head is going to explode" I whine at Michael, even though it is my own fault. "Oh Doll face. I love you so freaking much, but you're absolutely hilarious when you are drunk" Michael smiles at me and raises his eyebrows.
