The Sex Tape [One Direction]

Chapter 25. I Love You

STATUS: 1ST EDIT

When the flames of amity consume your soul, everything seems to be accelerated. The days pass on like hours and the love you hold grows stronger through that time.

That moment you know nothing else in the world matters is when the outside world loses its grip on your love. That's when you know you should go all in. When one person is enough to satisfy your every need and want, that's when everything is right and nothing could ever exceed love's touch.

His large hand laced with her smaller one while a smile began to bloom. Her heels thudded against the tiled restaurant floors, Niall's free hand caressing circles into her back while the waiter showed them to their table.

The waiter stopped and looked at the pair before setting down two menus, creating a mirrored reflection. Her hand graced the back of the chair but not long when a rather larger one cupped it away. It pulled the painted black chair out from under the table, creating just enough space for her to sit down at.

"Thank you,"

It coursed from her lips, before she took her seat and picked up the menu in between her hands.

"You really do look wonderful tonight, babe."

His lips pursued, and he sat the menu back down on the table.

"You already know what you want?"

Keeping his gaze only on her, he simply nodded before reaching into his pocket and encasing a box, with the word Tiffany & Co. written on the top in his hands.

"Nina, I've let you get away two times, now I refuse to let you slip past me again."

He was barely able to emit his words correctly, as his hands shook while he held the biggest question he would ever ask someone.

Her hands cascaded down from the table to her lap. Only now did she realize how utterly happy she was; a world with him was all she could ever want.

"These past few months have made me see how wrong I had been before--to let you into the grips of another man, when I knew I still held a fire for you in my heart."

His eyes refocused on her before he removed himself from the dainty restaurant chair, and bent forward slightly on his left knee.

"Nina, will you marry me?"

Time stopped. Everything in that one moment froze against fate's touch, his blue eyes irradiated with hopes of a new future--her eyes were full of comedy and concord for the future that neither of them really stopped to think, but why think when you knew everything inside you was right? Every fiber in both their beings knew everything would be alright if they had each other--forever and always.

The noise began to barrel back, as blurs started to return back to their lives but before anything else could continue, blue eyes pierced into one another, waiting to hear the answer he had been longing to hear for the longest time.

He could already begin to picture them growing old together. Each day she grew older he'd always remind her how beautiful she was and still is. He imagined their future children, family picnic, first Christmases--everything would be perfect.

"Yes, I'll marry you."

His face broke out into the happiest expression he had ever been able to display, while his right hand slipped the engagement ring onto her finger.

"Fits perfectly."

He exclaimed, before pulling her chair back out from beneath the table, and then sitting back in his.

"I love you."

She whispered quietly, barely audible.

"I love you to the moon and back."

He uttered, before knitting one hand with hers and rubbing circles on her bare skin.

"I'll never let you go again."

He cooed, before finally letting it all sink in; Nina would be his wife for the rest of eternity, and that made his heart course full of all jovial emotions.

For once in both of their lives--they both finally feel complete and content.

Short but cute, hopefully. Well I'm really sad this book is coming to a close but also very excited to be able to focus on some other great stories I have begun to written.

If you liked this really cheesy chapter, be sure to shoot me a comment below as well as hitting that lovely button with a star.
