Cheryl's POV

Toni and I have been dating for a while now, which is amazing.

I fall deeper in love with her, every day. We haven't said those words to each other, but we're working on it.

"Hey baby!" Toni called.

"TT!" I giggled. After we graduated from high school, Toni had left for a bit.

And I missed her like hell, but she was back.

"I missed you so much." I hugged her tightly.

"I missed you more. Ugh, I'm glad long distance is over. I hated it." Toni giggled.

"Same. But we made it work." I smiled, pecking her lips.

"And something I haven't said... I love you, baby. I love you so much, and hell, we've been dating for almost 11 months and we haven't even said those words yet." Toni said.

I smiled, my heart-melting. "I love you too, Toni. So much." I squealed when Toni picked me up and spinning me around.

Once she put me back down, we shared a passionate kiss.

"You are in for a treat." Toni smiled.

"Mmm, and what treat would that be?" I asked.

"Dinner. With your one and only." Toni smirked.

"Really? Yay!" I cheered, letting Toni lead me out of the train station.

"This place is amazing, babe." I smiled.

"Of course. I couldn't bring you anywhere else. This place is the best for the amazing." Toni smirked.

I giggled with a blush before looking down.

"God, it's like you just got more beautiful. I was only gone for 10 months, baby." Toni said.

I shook my head, "What are you planning?" I asked with a raised brow.

Toni's POV

To propose. Cheryl and I have been together for almost a year now. She was my first time, my first love. And I want her to be my last.

"Nothing..." I shrugged casually, "I just love you." I smiled.

Cheryl chuckled shaking her head as the waiter came to take our order.

"I'll have the shrimp Lomein, with sauce. Also red wine please." I said.

She nodded, writing it down before turning to Cheryl.

"I'll have a steak meal please." The redhead beauty smiled.

"Great. Your orders should arrive shortly." She missed before walking away.

I smiled at Cheryl before, taking her hands.

"You don't know how badly I missed you." I whispered.

"Me too. Some nights I could sleep." She chuckled.

"How's Mr. Blossom?" I asked, drinking the water they set out for us.

"He's doing great. He's barely around since I moved in with you. I mean, duh, but I mean as in out of state around." Cheryl chuckled.

"That's good to hear." I smiled as the food arrived.

After we ate I lead Cheryl over to the beach.

"TT, Why are we in the middle of the beach?" Cheryl giggled.

"Well, I wanted to ask you something very important." I said.

Her face turned serious, as she raised her eyebrow.

"Are you going back?" She asked.

I giggled shaking my head, "No, they don't need me back. The school is shutting down." I explained.

I wanted to ask you... This." I whispered, pulling out the box.

I saw Cheryl gulp as I got down on one knee, my knee cap buried in the soft sand.

"Cheryl... I met you in high school, and I must admit that you were my first ever crush. I know I bullied you half of the school years, but I'm glad that you forgive me to give me this chance. You are and always will be the love of my life. So Cheryl Marjorie Blossom. Will you marry me?" I asked.

Cheryl covered her mouth in shock as she frantically shook her head.

"Yes?" I asked excitedly.

"Yes! Of course, TT! Yes, I'll marry you!" Cheryl cried.

"Oh my God! Yay!" I cheered, standing up before pulling her into a kiss.

Cheryl smiled into the kiss, her salty tears mixed with it.

I smiled at her as I pulled away. I then slipped the ring onto her finger.

"I love you, so much." I whispered, pecking her lips once more.

"I love you, too, baby." Cheryl said, staring at the ring.

"It's beautiful, TT." She giggled through happy tears.

"Best for you, baby." I kissed her temple.
