"I Promise"

32

Alex's POV

"Why isn't the plane here yet?" I asked anxiously.

"They said in fifteen minutes Alex and only ten minutes have passed" Pablo laughed at me.

Today was my one year anniversary with Skylar and I was anxious. Everyone was coming here to celebrate with us especially since I am going to propose.

I smiled at the fact that from tonight she will be my fiance and then my wife. I bought her ring last month and I have been planning this ever since. I knew I was ready to marry her ever since we got back together but the feeling became clear when she lost our baby.

Even though she tried to stay strong, I knew she was hurting. Making her happy is all I live for. So I thought about it, ever since I met her, she always wanted to go to Paris and I knew this would be the best gift and proposal and even more perfect it's the city of love.

"They're coming" Pablo said and I came out of my thoughts.

I stood up and I spot my parents, our friends and her mother with Ethan. They were all smiling at us and I felt myself getting anxious. They all knew the reason why we were here but Skylar never knew.

"Hey guys"I called and everyone came towards me.

Hugging each of them one by one, they all asked for Skylar and I told them she doesn't know they were here. Emily cursed me out as usual but I am used to it.

"So what's the plan?" my dad asked and I explained to them.

I could see all the ladies smiling brightly at my plan. The boys actually helped me planned this so I knew it would be good.

"Wow she is going to cry" her mom said and I nod.

"Alright so I will meet you guy at the Eiffel Tower at 9 pm " I said ad they nodded.

Hugging them goodbye, I quickly checked my phone and I tried to hurry home before she wakes up.

Arriving back at the hotel, I ordered breakfast and more roses and entered the room. She then stretched and slowly sat up.

"Happy Anniversary"I shout and she laughed.

"Happy Anniversary to you to babe" she rubbed her eyes.

When she finally stopped, a big smile spread across her face and she stood up. I gave her the roses and placed a soft kiss on her lips. She then smiled at the food and the little note and gift.

"Open it" I said and she squealed. She first opened the note.

'Today is a day I cherished since we got together and I don't regret anything. My first gift to you is this trip to Paris. I knew you always wanted to go here so I made it happen. In the box holds another gift that represents my favorite memory and your last gift will be given to you tonight'

I can see her getting teary as she looked up at me and crashed her lips into mine. Everytime she kisses me, I still feel my heart quicken just like the first day I saw her.

"I love it and I love you" she kissed me again.

We part and then she slowly unwrapped the box. Opening the box, her face lit up as the necklace glimmered in the light.

"My grandmother gave that locket to my mother before she died and well I had it redisgned a bit" I said and she smiled.

She opened the locket only to see the picture of us on the beach. That day was my best memory because that's when I knew I couldn't live without her.
