This is Love

Chapter 10

It has been a week since Trevor and I vacationed in my hometown. Trevor has officially moved into my apartment. We decided that it was best for him to move in here since mine was bigger. It had more space. I loved living with someone, it wasn't so lonely. Trevor said it gives him an excuse to cook for someone. I have published my latest book, it is selling really well. At the gym I got a promotion. I know I am the assistant manager. I still do my classes. Since the book release my classes have become full. My life has been great. I'm happy.
I'm not the only one who is having good luck. Trevor has now tested almost twenty different video games on his channel. Which has earned him many different sponsors. We have even made our own fitness workout channel on YouTube and Instagram. I finally feel for once that my life is complete.

I slowly get out of the bed. I look at the clock I have at least an hour before I have to be at the gym. I get up and get dressed. Putting on a matching black leggings and sports bra set. I put my hair up in a high pony letting a couple of my edges frame my face. I don't bother putting on makeup. I put some mascara on and that's it. I walk out into the kitchen. Trevor was up before I was. I expected him to be out here but he is nowhere in sight.

That is strange, he usually stays at least to tell me goodbye. I shrug my shoulders, he must have had to be in early and not wanted to wake me up.

I walk over and start making some toast for my breakfast. I start eating my toast and looking through my emails. Most of which are from my publicist. She is asking about the squeal to the book I released. I email her back saying it's in the works, hopefully the first draft will be done next month. As I finish emailing her back I notice that I have an email from Greg. He is Trevor's friend, the one who owns the gym, and also my boss.

Hello April,

I'm writing this email to tell you I have scheduled an early class for this morning. It is 30 min before your original class starts. It's just a wake up yoga class. It would be awesome if you could make it.

Greg.

After I read over the email I check the clock, I have at least twenty mins to get there. I get up shutting my computer off. I put on my running shoes, grabbing my workout bag and yoga mat. I walk out the door walking to my car. I get in and drive over to the gym.

When I get to the gym I park in my parking spot. I get out my things and walk inside.

"Good morning April." I see Greg sitting at the front desk with a cheeky smile on his face. I give him a smirk. "Good Morning Greg. Is my space open?" He nods his head. "Yup go right in, your class should be at any moment." I nod my head mumbling a thank you.

I walk into the normal room where I teach my classes. No one is here yet which is expected because I'm early. I walk to the front of the room and lay down my mat. I take off my shoes and slip on my yoga wraps. I start stretching and calming by breathing.

I hear the door open but I keep stretching not really paying attention. "Just grab a mat and start stretching." I stand up and walk over starting the calming music. I walk back and notice a couple more people have entered the room. I don't really look at the faces as I walk back over and take my place at the front of the class. "Okay everyone we are going to start, so please lie on your back in a resting front pose." I look around the room and I start to notice some of the faces in my class.

The first person I see is my publicist. I know I have a look of shock on my face. She has never been to one of my classes. Next I see Greg, which wouldn't be weird if he wasn't participating. The next person that catches my eyes is my Uncle Eric. I start to feel weird about what is going on. I feel confused. I start to see that the whole class is made up of Trevor's and I's friends, but Trevor is nowhere to be seen. He is always the first one in my morning classes.

I start to laugh, but continue with my class.

We are about twenty minutes into the class, when the door opens. I look up from the position I was in to see Trevor walk inside. I furrow my eyebrows as I stand up from the ground. "Keep going guys. I will be right back." I start to walk towards him but before I could get there he grabs my hand and pulls me back to the front of the class. Now I'm really starting to get confused. My heart starts to race.

Trevor turns to me. "April you are probably wondering why almost everyone we know is here in this class." I nod my head giving him a nervous smile. "Well April I have called your closest friends here because there is something I have wanted to ask you since the moment we started dating." He grabs my hands, turning me so I'm looking at him. My heart is beating out of my chest. Trevor can probably hear it.

"April you have inspired me. You are the strongest person I have met. Your kind, caring and loving. You always put someone else before you, and I love that about you. I love the way that when you are nervous you bite your lip and a blush creeps to your face." I start to laugh as I'm doing this habit right now. Everyone in the crowd laughs. "I love the way that when we first met I was head over heels for you, so I took every class you were teaching. I tried everything to get your attention, but I was too chicken to talk to you. But you stormed up to me and asked me out. At that moment I knew you were the perfect girl for me." I start to feel tears coming from my eyes. I look at Trevor who is beaming with joy.

Trevor slowly gets down on one knee. My breath catches in my throat, as a shocked expression spreads across my face. Trevor takes out a small box and opens up. I see a beautiful silver ring with a small white diamond in the center with two smaller black diamonds. I finally start to breathe again, tears streaming down my face.

"April, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to celebrate everything with you, I want to hold you when you are feeling sad, I want to laugh at you when I do something stupid as always." He lets out a laugh as the whole crowd laughs. "But most importantly I want you to be mine forever. April Leigh Young, will you do me the honor of spending the rest of your life with me, and marrying me?" I started to nod my head before he could even finish the sentence. "That's not a yes ladybug." I hear my uncle say as everybody laughs including Trevor and I. "Yes, Trevor Warren, I will marry you."

Trevor slips the ring onto my finger before giving it a kiss. He stands up and I grab his face on both sides bringing his lips to mine. I feel his arms snake around my waist lifting me off of the ground. After I break the kiss I'm still off the ground in Trevor's arms. "I love you." I whisper to him. "I love you too, Mrs. Warren." I start to blush as Trevor sets me down on the ground.

I hear clapping around us. I forgot we were surrounded by people. I look around and all I see is smiles. I wrap my arm around Trevor's waist as I hear people say congrats. I look over at Greg. I point my finger at him. "You knew about this, didn't you." He starts to smile. "Oh I was the one who gave him the idea." I laugh at him. Of course he did. He is always the one to set up these sorts of things. I give him a small hug. I look around the room and my eyes fall on my uncle. I quickly walk over to him as he picks me up and gives me a hug.

"I'm so happy for you bug." He says into my shoulder. "Thank you. I can't believe you came all this way." I sets me down on the floor as Trevor walks over and shakes my uncle's hand. Trevor entrelacs' his hand with mine. "I wouldn't miss it for the world. When Trevor told me what he was planning I immediately jumped on board." I turn and look at Trevor, "When did you know he was planning this?" I say asking Eric. Trevor starts to turn red. "He asked if he could marry you during your trip back home." I look at them both in disbelief. I could not believe that he had this planned since the trip. It brought tears back to my eyes. I wrap my arms around both of them. "Thank you both."

I look around the room and I see all the people who care about me. It hurts that I couldn't share this moment with my parents and sister like most people do. They made it clear that they didn't want to be in mine and Trevor's lives.

Somewhere in my heart it hurts to not have them here, but I know it's for the best. They have only judged me instead of support. I will still invite them, hoping for a change.

I look around the room and everyone is there for Trevor and I. Everyone of these people love and care for us. They are the definition of family and love.
