Lucas’s POV

“Angel” I called her name to get her attention.

She turned to me and froze in her spot when she saw me on one knee.

“Lucas?” she said in pure shock with wide eyes.

I spoke confidently and affectionately “Despite the very short time we’ve known each other in, we fell in love pretty fast. Faster than normal I may admit. But it was pure, real, honest, and so damn deep. I love you so much and I find no reason why we shouldn’t make it official. Marriage or not, you’ll always be my angel, my light, my soul, pretty much my everything. But I want the whole world to know that I am yours, and that you’re forever mine, and only mine. Will you do me the greatest honor, and marry me Angelina?”

At the last word, I pulled out the ring box and opened it in front of her, revealing the ring I’ve chosen for her to wear. It has two angel wings, one overlapping the other, hugging a halo shaped diamond circle with a big floating round diamond on it. The wings were decorated with very small diamonds as well. It was perfect for her.

Her eyes teared up quickly and didn’t waste a second before they fell in streams down her face. Her tears didn’t make me falter, on the contrary, they were an indication of how much my surprise affected her, in a very positive way.

She came closer until she stood right in front of me, cupped my face so tenderly, sending warm tingles to spread throughout my body, and said emotionally “Yes of course I’ll marry you, Lucas. It would be the easiest decision I ever had to make in my entire life”

I took her right hand and slipped the ring into her finger. It was a perfect fit. I stood up, held her face passionately, and kissed her with every ounce of affection I could put into it.

I pulled away and wiped her still streaming tears with my thumbs “Don’t cry, baby”

“I can’t help it, I’m so happy Lucas. Your surprise is really amazing” she said through her teary chuckles.

“Congratulations, we’re all very happy for you two!” mom hugged us happily.

Every one took turns in celebrating the good news with us. After that, we had a celebratory dinner outside in the front yard, despite the harsh cold weather. Alex was prepared for that as he brought over a large bonfire that kept us warm all through dinner and dessert.

For this special occasion, mom and Sara went all out with their menu. Green salad, French onion soup, chicken parmesan pasta, roast beef, and garlic grilled shrimps.

Jenny was in charge of the most delicious cinnamon roll cake I’ve ever tasted in my life. I ate more than half that thing on my own.

We laughed, smiled, joked, teased, and spent such a happy time that I’m sure will be always remembered and cherished, not just by me and Angel, but by everyone as well.

Angelina was glowing so much through the whole celebration. Her smiling face never changed the entire evening. Every now and then, she would touch my hand and squeeze it, a gesture that we came to use almost all the time these days as a sign of love and affection to the other one. Her gazes to me were making my heart melt, they were full of passion and adoration.

After the celebration was over and we started moving everything inside, I heard Alex pull Jenny aside and ask her to take a late night drive with him. I knew exactly what this was about.

He also had a surprise for her that he has been preparing for the past month.

Her gym is finally fully equipped with everything. It just needed its owner to come take a look at it. I’ve been there a few times in the last month and I have to admit, the place looks incredible. Jenny is going to lose her mind when she sees it.

When everything was cleaned up, I took Angel’s hand and made her climb the stairs with me, but instead of going to my room; which technically became our room, I stopped in the middle of the hallway between our room and the room that she used to sleep in before.

“What’s going on, why are we standing out here” she asked in curiosity.

“I have another surprise for you” I said gently with a small smile tugging automatically on my lips.

Her eyes glazed with excitement “Another one? You’re so full of them today. I need to step up my game and do something here, I can’t let you keep surprising me on your own” she said teasingly.

“I love surprising you Angel. Seeing you happy makes me feel worthy, that I was able to put a smile on those gorgeous looking lips” I said softly.

She circled my neck and said quietly “I love you Lucas, even without surprises, I love you so much and I don’t want you to ever doubt that or question if I’m happy with you or not because the answer will never change. As long as you’re with me, I’m going to be happy”

“So you don’t need to see your surprise then? Is that what you’re saying?” I asked playfully.

“Oh no, I want to see it…please” she said cutely.

“Since you asked so nicely, it’s right behind that door. Go ahead” I pointed at the guest bedroom she used to stay in.

She gave me a puzzled look trying and failing to figure out why her surprise is waiting for her in there, before she turned around and walked towards it with hurried steps.

She opened the door and walked inside slowly.

The room was completely transformed now.

It had a big, white desk set in front of the huge window. On top of it was a mac laptop, a large sketch book, various pens, pencils, and coloring tools needed for her to design all the best clothes she could come up with.

In place of the bed, there was a modern, much larger, and newer version of her sewing machine that I convinced her to leave behind in Seattle.

On the wall behind the sewing machine, there was a large, empty, white billboard for her to hang all her designs and sketches on.

To the left side of the machine, in place of where the wooden closet used to be, there was a huge storage cabinet for her to keep all her files, books, notes, fabrics, and accessories necessary for her work. While to the right side of the machine, in place of where the dresser used to be, there were two naked mannequins, and a long empty clothes rack for her to hang her finished work.

Angelina’s mouth was hanging open with awe as her wide eyes wondered all around the room.

“Lucas!......it’s so…..oh my god it’s absolutely amazing!” she squealed so loudly and threw herself at me with a tight hug that made me chuckle so hard at her spontaneous, genuine reaction.

“I’m glad you like it” I said joyfully as I hugged her back snugly.

“Like it! I freaking love it!” she said excitedly as she held my face and showered me with long, passionate kisses that made me so hard for her.

I finally pulled her face back and said in a grunt “we need to go to our bedroom…right now because my dick is dying to bury itself inside you, Angel. We need to celebrate our super beautiful night in a very special way”

“I have no doubt that it’s going to be special. Because every single thing with you is already special my love” she said softly.

She was right about that. Every single moment with her, no matter how mundane it is, is still very exquisite to my heart. Because whenever I’m with her, I feel special and I feel complete.
