You Never Know...

Aftershock

Rose Pov

    The morning I had with Luisa was amazing, I woke up to smell of french toast and the soft humming of Luisa. I was the perfect was to start the day. I was so tempted to see Luisa I didn't even brush my teeth or brush my hair. This week was kinda hard for me because we were telling our family that we were getting married, but I didn't have anyone to tell personally on my side of the family except Joey and Bobby they were my only people I could trust, but seeing Luisa and her family happy for her.

   As soon as I walked into the kitchen, the air felt so much lighter. The sun was shimmering as Luisa hair sways as she moves. I walk up to her and give her a light kiss, like it was a normal everyday thing, and grabbed plates. I grabbed as much french toast that I thought I could digest and I immediately sat down and ate, then I saw a bling coming off Luisa's hand, the engagement ring.

   The immediate thought cam to mind. "Luisa, would you like to walk down the aisle?" I asked shyly. Luisa looks at me in shock "Of course, I just thought that you would want to do it because you would talk about it went we started dating." she said. "No, not anymore I just want to see you smiling and walking down the aisle in your beautiful dress, everyone would be able to look at you, see you, and look at you, but I'll be the only one to get you." and I meant why walk down the aisle when you can watch the person you truly love walk down and smile with their beautiful smile.

    "Okay I'll do it!" Luisa says, "But we still have to pick out a destination." I didn't even think about that I was so focused on just getting married to this beautiful woman. "How about the beach" Luisa says. "We could, but the beach is a little basic, our love isn't basic Lu, our love is different from everyone else, and I want it to represent that." I say with a pouty look on my face. "How about that vineyard we went to on one of our first dates." Luisa says. "It was beautiful and the flowers were some of the most gorgeous flowers I have ever seen." Luisa states mind blown by the fact that she remembered that. "I think, I think that is a beautiful idea Luisa" I say almost tearing because she knew the significance of that place. 

   August 2 almost 10 years ago...

   "Why did you bring me here" Luisa asks. "Because I wanted to show you this place" I say. "Why?" Luisa says in concern. "This is were me and dad used to go before Elena came into our lives. It was a regular thing, my dad and I would wake up early on Sundays and drive out here just to play and have picnics. When Elena came along, we wouldn't go as much, eventually we just stopped. Most of my memories with him are in this place, if it wasn't for this place right here the only memory of my dad I would have is him laying on the ground bleeding out" I say. "I'm so sorry Rose, I didn't know" Luisa said heartfelt. "Luisa, you mean as much to me as this place, actually even more, and I never want to hurt you. I want coming here to be a regular thing for us, because I want to make memories here with you like the ones I had with my dad." I say staring in to Luisa's auburn eyes, they glazed in the sun and you can see her beautiful soul in those eyes. "I want to make memories here with you to Rose." Luisa stutters as a tear falls down her eye. We lay in the grass and kiss and we lay quietly looking up at the sky.

    "I remember how much you liked it, and how you wanted to make memories here with me, but after that a lot of our problems started to pop up and we were never able to make that happen and I want to do that now with you." Luisa leans in looking into roses indigo eyes with a blinding reflective light in them and stares. "I do too." I say to her. We stare at each other for a little longer and we kissed, lips interlocking with each other. I couldn't wait to marry her, the month was to long away, but it will all be worth it in the long run.
