Jake's POV
As the sun beat down on both of us, a content sigh escaped my lips as I ran my fingers through my princess' hair. I felt her breathing become even as her body relaxed, her head still resting in my lap. Her body became heavy and I just sat there, staring into oblivion, thinking about the last 5 years.
I remember feeling so scared, it'd taken me the whole of my high school life, but I was finally ready to tell her. It was the last day we'd all be together in Year 11. I had it all planned out. I'd sit next to her in English as we had done since Year 7 and then I'd just casually place my hand on her thigh. But all didn't go as planned. When I slipped my hand onto her thigh, I wanted her to look at me and blush as I rubbed my hand up on down on the inside of her leg. But instead, she screamed and ran out of the classroom. Everyone turned their chairs to face me as I felt a blush creeping up my neck and up onto my cheeks.
Our teacher's eyes connected with mine and I knew she was telling to go after her. I jumped from my seat and ran as fast as I could out of the room, directing a quick nod and a thank you in her direction. Thoughts trailed through my mind as I tried to think of places that she'd be. That's when I remembered her love of music, and knew that if I was to find her and make her mine, I had to go to the music block.
I sprinted there and crept slowly into the extra room where the old piano lay as it had done for years, still and unused by all except her. The one that I loved. Natalia, the one I would make mine. I crept up behind her as she played 'Someone Like You' by Adele, a song I hated with a passion because of the one person who sang it with her, Lewis. God, I hate him, trying to steal my girl.
I remember a period of time when she would come into school with a blank expression, the only time she would smile is when you mentioned that fool or Sunday night basketball at MMU.
Standing behind her, I rested my hands on her shoulders as I saw the corners of her mouth twitch up. I smiled with her as she slowly moved along the stool, allowing me to sit next to her. I crept my hand onto her thigh, this time without her freaking out. She glanced over at me, her smile growing wider.
Natalia stopped playing and rested her head on my shoulder, my grin grew, just as hers had as I played with her hair. I'm rather glad she grew it out again, theirs more of her to love now.
I smile silently as Natalia stirs from her sleep. 'I see you're finally awake.' I whisper into her ear.
She sits up and looks at me smiling. 'I had the best dream ever, it was of that day.'
My smile grows, knowing what day she's on about. I sigh as she rests her head just as she had done that day. Placing my hand on her thigh, I rub my hand up and down. Looking over at me, she smiles and grabs my hand, pulling it away from her. She pulls me to my feet, but instead of standing, I fall to one knee.
Reaching into my trouser pocket, I smile up at her as shock register on her face. As my hand clamps over the box, I pull it out, opening the velvet case that contains our future together. 'Natalia, I know it's only been 5 years. But I can promise you that there will be more years together coming, and that's why I'm asking you. Natalia, will you marry me?'
For a while she just stands there, tears rolling down her cheeks. It takes a while, but she soon realises what I've just said and she throws herself at me, peppering kisses along my jaw. She cups my face in her hands before grinning at me. 'Yes.' She whispers before pulling my face towards hers.
As I kiss her, I can feel our memories flying around us. This is just the beginning of our happily ever after. It's too late now Lewis, you'll have to find someone like her. Someone like my princess.
A/N So Nat, I lied, I've only just written this. Sorry for the really bad play on words, but oh well. What do you think? I don't even need to ask do I? YOU LOVE IT!! Oh and make sure you invite me to the wedding. Look I know you're mad it's not NEWIS, but oh well. I liked the way I wrote this sorta. So yeah.
SORRY IF I ACCIDENTALLY TAG SOMEONE IN THIS, MY LAPTOP IS BEING WEIRD. AND BY IN THIS I MEAN IN THE MIDDLE OF A SENTENCE.
AND FUCK THIS HAS TAKEN SO LONG BECAUSE I HAD TO GO AND TIDY THE LIVING ROOM.
hehehe ^-^
