“Yeah okay,” he replies with a shrug. “That was alright, wasn’t it? We should work together again sometime, maybe on another movie. What do you think?”
I already know that Avril will politely agree, but won’t really do it. The more things she stars in, the pickier she can get with people she works with. Acting with Buzz was too hard for her, that’s why she struggled to find her mojo – well, until I came along anyway – I don’t think she’ll put herself through all of that again. She doesn’t need to anymore, so what’s the point?
“Oh yeah, maybe.” She tugs me closer to her like I’m her barrier. “We’ll see. Erm, I have to go right now, but I’m sure I’ll see you at the after party in a while.”
With that we move away from Buzz, giggling like school kids. This is one of the things I love most about Avril, we can just laugh and be silly with one another. Being in a relationship is fun. Of course, we can deal with all the serious stuff too, but I get to enjoy her.
When we started this over a year ago after three very intense days, I wasn’t sure it could last. I thought we would start to grow weary of one another once we got to know each other better and that the magic would fade. I was willing to throw everything into it, because it felt powerful enough to be worthwhile for however long it lasted, but I didn’t know I would get this lucky.
Now, I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else. We have gone from strength to strength since that day. With Avril, even the bad times don’t seem that bad because I go through them with her. Even when we fight it’s like we’re on the same side rather than against one another. It’s us against the world.
“Oh, my goodness, get me out of here!” she squeals at me once we get outside. “This is nuts.” She pulls me in for a kiss, sending sparks all over my body. I still feel that intense connection and chemistry, even now after all this time. “I don’t even know if I want to go to the party.”
I stare into her eyes for a moment, losing myself in them. As I do I recall the first time I saw her and how even then I instinctively knew that she was going to be different somehow.
“Avril,” I say in a pensive tone. “I’ve been wanting to speak to you about something for a while now.” I reach into my pocket and pull out the little box that’s been sitting there for weeks while I wait for the right moment. This isn’t it, it’s nowhere near romantic enough, yet somehow, it’s perfect. Nothing about us has been normal, so why should this be? This is very us.
“Ooh, sounds serious. What is it?”
I drop to one knee and peer up at Avril, which causes her to clap her hand across her mouth in sheer shock. I’m so glad that I’ve managed to keep this a surprise for so long, it hasn’t been easy.
“I want to marry you,” I say with a light chuckle. “I think I might’ve wanted to marry you from the very first moment that I met you. I didn’t know it at the time, but I’m pretty sure I fell in love with you instantly.” I open up the box to reveal the princess cut diamond ring inside. Avril’s eyes bug out with happiness. “So, what do you say? Do you want to make me the happiest man alive and be my wife? If you want me to ask you in a better way, I will, I just want to know if…”
“No,” she shoots me down with tears in her eyes. “I don’t want you to ask me in any other way, this is absolutely perfect. I would love to be your wife. Nothing would make me happier.”
I slide the ring onto her finger and leap up to hug her. As I embrace Avril in my arms, I think about our journey. We’re a couple that shouldn’t have made it, they say instant spark doesn’t lead to everlasting love, but with us it has. With us it always will. We’ve been through enough together to know that much. I wouldn’t want to be with anyone else, ever!
“I love you,” I gush while kissing over her cheeks. “I always will, so much.”
“I love you too,” she replies, making me as happy as she always does, every single time she says those words. “And I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”

The Valentines Day Proposal
Blurb
He’s the heartbreaker from my past,
Begging for a second chance.
And I am already dreaming about a future!
A future with him…
When Brandon left me a few years back,
I swore to God, I won’t fall for any man – no matter how handsome and nice he may seem.
After healing from a broken heart,
I was happy with my little world,
Until the handsome stranger showed up in my small town,
And turned my world upside down.
