Her eyes misted over as she stared at the happy couple. "Do you think that'll be us one day?" She sighed, leaning back into him. 

Leaning down, he nuzzled his face in her neck and wrapped his arms around her middle, breathing in the vanilla scent of her shampoo. "My heart beats for you and you only. I'll stand by your side no matter what, for as long as you'll have me."

She turned around in his arms in lightning speed, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Did you just propose to me?"

"It depends whether you want to be proposed to or not." He shrugged, pulling her closer to him as their bodies swayed to the rhythm of the slow song.  

She attempted to scowl but couldn't control her smile. "I guess we won't know that until it actually happens."

The song came to an end then, and all couples pulled away to clap for the newly weds whom had just finished their first dance. 

Once it had quietened down and the live band started the next song, he merely smirked in response, untangled himself from her and began walking in the direction of the open bar. "I guess so."

Paper Flowers by RandomKaahani

Featured by @Romance .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. "Why do you make these paper flowers?" He asked, looking at her through the mirror. "They don't wither like the real ones." She replied, aligning the entire bunch of paper flowers. "But they don't have the fragrance." He politely challenged her. He was a soldier. Chivalrous was his middle name. "These paper flowers, they stay with you for as long as you want. You don't really have to throw them away like people discard the real ones. They pluck them for the fragrance and colors. But once that fades, they throw it away." She said, finally looking up at him. "Not everyone!" He added almost immediately, taking one more step forward. It could be his height or his longer stride, or maybe the room was too small as it only took him two steps to reach her. "Yeah! Of course! Exceptions are there, like poets and people in love." She walked in a different direction, putting those flowers on the table. He rolled his eyes with a defeated sigh. She was a teacher. Arguing with her was as futile as making a sand castle on a seashore. "You know, gone is the era when people used to preserve the flowers of their loved ones. We don't have people like that anymore!" She said as she faced him. "We don't have that kind of love anymore." He said looking straight into her eyes. She held his gaze through the mirror for a while, trying to read through him. "I agree." Murmuring under her breath, she turned around. Taking a deep breath, watching her retreating figure, he brought out his favorite poetry book from the shelf. After he was sure she was not looking, he ruffled through the pages till he found a dried Hibiscus. The very same one which had fallen from her bag when he first saw her. With a small smile, he cautiously caressed the petals. He closed the book with a fond sigh and found her looking at him. She couldn't hold his gaze for long and looked down, crimson covering her cheeks. He shook his head with a chuckle.

Alexis' Diary (Tom Hiddleston fanfic/romance story) by EllietheKillerQueen

Alexis is 19 and has recently got into university when she bumps into the man of her dreams but her anxiety haunts her as they develop their relationship. Over time she learns how not to be afraid as much with his help. Hey guys I just want to say before we start, even though this is a Tom Hiddleston fanfiction story, you don't have to be a fan of his to like this. It can just be a story of two people falling in love, because this isn't based on his fame. This story does deal with anxiety and stereotypes, so if you are sensitive to it then be warned. Lately, August 2020, I've been having panic attack because of going to sixth form, so the panic attacks are based on what I feel when I have one. I don't know if they are actual panic attacks, so please don't come at me for it. I also want to mention I don't know Tom Hiddleston at all, this is just fanfiction. I really value your opinions so please comment and share your thoughts. Enjoy ;)

What the Heart wants (BWWM) | Wattys2016 by motorkay

Elizabeth Brooks Sam's restaurant, LA "With love comes happiness and heartache. If it's done right, it'll be worth the entire trauma and the pain. If it's done wrong, it will stay with you forever. "Remember, you can love a fool or let a fool love you, but never let love fool you. You are stronger than you think. You are wiser than you illustrate and you have more passion than your heart is able to handle. Are you listening, Lizzy?" Sara looked at Elizabeth from across the restaurant table after scanning the menu. "Sorry, my ears reject all bullshit. Love isn't real, it's an illusion. Only pathetic losers fall in love, remember that!" she spat, signaling the waiter. Sarah looked at her best friend with sadness and pity in her eyes. Jake Carter CarTel Inc., LA "Jake" Jason called as he spotted his exit from the elevator. "What is it now Jason?" Jake asked not bothering to look over his shoulder. He collected his messages from his secretary and entered into his office. "I need a favor" Jason smiled guilty "When do you not?" He sighed, sitting behind his large desk. He rested his leather briefcase on the ground beside his chair and turned back to his best friend. "What?" "Can I get the rest of the day off?" "Did you finish the Lodge Hotel proposal?" Jake wondered. "That's where the favor comes in. I'll have it for you tomorrow early in the morning but I have to get somewhere..." Jake placed his head in hand and groaned "I should fire you" Jake muttered. "That's the beauty of a partnership, you can't. Plus, you're lucky I'm giving you a heads up instead of just leaving" Jason chuckled, sitting on the front of Jake's desk. Jake leaned back into his chair as he bit down repeatedly on his pen. "I feel so fortunate. Tomorrow, I'm serious Jason. No more fucking a round. I need this done." Jason raised his palms up in defense "you have my word." He promised standing to his feet.

Shut Up And Kiss Me (Loki x Darcy) by EarthAngelGirl20

Darcy has a habit of making questionable decisions, but when she's offered a job that she'll actually be paid for -- and by the Avengers, no less -- she accepts without hesitation, hoping to advance her career and maybe be taken a bit more seriously too. But she didn't realise the job consists of basically being a glorified 'babysitter' (or Mischief-Minder) to Loki, who has returned to Earth with his big brother. Needless to say, neither of them are too impressed by the situation, especially Loki, who's virtually under house-arrest and now at the mercy of a taser-happy intern. Then the most unexpected thing happens. The pair actually start to get along. This is set after Thor: Ragnarok but in an AU (we're just going to forget about all that Infinity War business for now!) Highest relevant Wattpad Rankings: #1 Darcy Lewis #1 TaserTricks #2 LokixDarcy *WARNING* Contains some adult content (scenes of a sexual nature) and infrequent use of mildly strong language.

Unexpectedly yours by coloursofishq

"Who even told you to put up that entire 'I will save this heroine' stunt?" She added further as he looked into her eyes after clipping his watch on his wrist. "So, you are mad because I married you?" He asked frowning after analysing the entire conversation. "Ding ding ding! Happy realisation." She smiled at him ever so sweetly and clapped at him. Mockingly. Ding ding ding? As in Ninja Hatori? He thought. " What if I prove that 'shaadi with me is not equal to barbadi'?" He asked pushing his hands into his pants pockets. "What do I get?" He asked further, slightly leaning towards her face now looking into her eyes at her eye level. "My whole respect and investment into our future." Without thinking anything she just let it out. Wait. What? What the - What did I even say? Bappa! Kay karu mi ya thonda ch? [God! What am I supposed to do about this damn mouth?] _ Anya Deshmukh is 25 years old, an eldest daughter of the family.

Dear Significant Other by RandomKaahani

Featured by @AmbassadorsIN | @Romance .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. "I don't think we will meet, ever! You are just messing around." He texted, frustration evident from his text. "I swear on my camera. This assignment came up last minute! I am so desperate to see you! SERIOUSYL!." Proofreading wasn't her thing. "You mean 'seriously' ?" He added the 'eye roll' emoji. "See! You get me! Now, do you believe me? I ain't fooling around!" She smirked while adding the same emoji. "But I wanna fool around!" He inserted three wink emojis, making his intentions clear. She rolled her eyes, but a pink hue on her cheeks said a different story altogether. "I think we should do this..." She typed as she lay on the couch. "Shoot!" "Whenever we meet, we meet for the full day. From morning to evening, sunrise to moon-set, we can do whatever we feel like doing! We either stay in or go out, whatever our hearts say. But that'd be our first and last meeting!" She hesitated before hitting the send button. "And then we never meet again?" "Nope." "You're suggesting what exactly all guys want from their 'first' dates!" He grinned. "Some girls like that too ;)" She shook her head and backspaced. "I don't know about all boys." "Are" "You" "In?" He could feel her smirk across the screen. Without meeting her or watching her face, he knew her well enough to understand her emotions. "I'm so in! 24 hours and then never again. Sounds so perfect!" "Final then! We only meet once and then never see each other ever again!" She blushed another pink while typing. He smiled reading that.

This Town |NH| by imagine_it_niall

"I want to dance with you in the middle of this street." She laughed at me, "Why on earth would you do that?" "Because I said I would." I twirled her around and pulled her back to me as I began to sing softly into her ear, "If the whole world was watching, I'd still dance with you; Drive highways and byways to be there with you. Over and over, the only truth: everything comes back to you." She pulled away from me and looked at me. "Niall--" "Siobhan, stop. Before you say anything, please let me say this first. I've been wanting to say this to you for I don't even know how long. And it's something I should've said a long, long time ago." She let go of me and stepped back. She looked at me inquisitively before saying, "Okay." I looked at her, she was finally going to let me say everything I had been longing to say. Now was my chance, and whatever the outcome, I would force myself to be content with it. I took a deep breath and began.....

Yours truly{Completed} by Sugarlips501

"You won't f*cking call him?!" She yelled, her voice evolved in a new level of dangerousness and antagonism. I kept on sobbing and shook my head but she just laughed like a psychopath. "Really? You dare defy---" "Stop it please! Calling him is like asking me to kill him. I can't carry his blood on my shoulder forever he's my f*cking boyfriend! My man!" I snapped and what she did next stole breath away from me. She grabbed a handful of my hair and tugged. She pulled me a few feet across the cement floor and I could hear Amina's scream in the midst of the chaos in my mind. "God she'll pull my hair out of my head" I thought I whined as one of her men threw me in the middle of the floor and I crashed to the ground. She finally grabbed my left upper arm and pulled me up to stand on my wobbling legs. Natalie slapped me hard on my face and I fell back on the floor. "I am sick and tired of your brave front! What a stubborn bitch. You've gotten enough on my nerves and I have no choice but to kill you. Now say your goodbyes to this unfair world Miss Conway"
