Marshall POV
1 week later - May 8, 2020

Loving Avery was a roller coaster of emotions for me, I allowed myself to trust someone and let them into my life knowing it was the scariest thing I have done in years. There was silence between Avery and I as I took a sip of coffee, as I watched her across the counter from me.

She stopped typing for a minute looking up, "what?" she asked as she let out a small smile. I shook my head, "I, just love you" I shrugged before walking over to the other side of the counter, hovering over Avery as I gently pressed my lips to her skin. "Marsh" she said, barely above a whisper.

My lips lingered about her skin, "yeah baby?" I asked as she let out a small laugh, "you're so distracting" she said as she threw her head back, giving me more access as I peppered her skin with more kisses. "You're my person, Av" I said nervously, as she made eye contact with me letting out a small smile.

"What do you mean, Marsh?" she asked softly as I let out a small sigh. "I mean, before you, there was no way I was looking for a relationship which wasn't really a surprise to anyone" I said, "and my friends have made that pretty clear to you" I said as I let out a chuckle. "But when I met you, Avery, I wasn't prepared to meet the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with"

"I love you're the reason behind me never finding a coffee mug in the house, or a clean shirt in my drawer" I said as Avery let out a small laugh, "you're also the one who started our slow Sunday routine, with the coffee and music, and making the pancakes from scratch" I said. "There are a million other things baby, we could be here for hours, but I wouldn't have it any other way"

"But more than all of that, I prayed for you. While I was going through the darkest and shittiest, and maybe some of the loneliest times I prayed that someone was listening and would send me someone" I said on the verge of tears. "Marshall" Avery said softly as she ran her hand over my beard. "Wait, wait give me one second" I said as I ran into the bedroom as Avery furrowed her eyebrows.

I cleared my throat as I stood in front of her, before getting down on one knee, "will you marry me?" I asked as Avery started to cry, falling to her knees with me. I let out a small smile as I pulled her into me, "really?" she asked barely above a whisper as I nodded and pulled her into me, tucking hair behind her ear.

"What do you say, baby?" I asked as she nodded, "oh my god, yes" she said as I slid the ring on her finger.

Avery POV

"I don't fucking believe it" I said as I shook my head, admiring the ring on my finger. Marshall let out a small laugh, "believe it, baby girl" he said he kissed me softly. "I'm happy you love it" he said as we sat there for a minute, "you okay?" he asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"I'm your fiancee" I said as I excitedly jumped on him, wrapping my arms around him as he let out a laugh. "That you are" he said as he grabbed my phone, "now show me that pretty little ring baby, so you can send it to Sam" he said as he let out a sly smile.

"She didn't know?" I asked as Marshall shook his head, "there was technically only two other people, who knew about this" I said as I raised an eyebrow. "I asked Dre to come with me when I picked it, and I asked your dad for permission"

"Then I'm gonna have some fun with this" I said as I grabbed my phone, sending her the picture.

[Hold the fuck up]
[What did I miss?? 😭😭]

Followed up my Sam's panic messages, my phone started to vibrate, "hello?" I said as I answered the call. "What the actual fuck?" she said as Marshall and I couldn't control our laughter. "Is this a joke or something?" she asked as Marshall cleared his throat, "this is not a joke, I bought a ring and I was just waiting for the right time to ask" he said, "and that time happened to be this morning"

"Really?" she asked as her voice cracked. "Yes, Sam" he said as he reassured her.

"God Marshall, its ten in the morning and I'm fucking sobbing" she said as I let out a small laugh as I leaned into Marshall. "Congratulations you guys, I love y'all" she said softly, "love you too" I said before she hung up.

"Marsh, I have a question" I said as I furrowed my eyebrows. "Yeah baby?" he said as he tucked some loose hair behind my ear. "We never went public with a relationship, how are we going to go public with an engagement?" I asked as he chewed at his lip. "Is that something you wanna do?" he asked softly.

"I mean, I don't wanna keep our relationship a secret forever" I said as I shrugged, "its not a secret baby, its just keeping it private. Because the minute the world knows one thing, they wanna know everything" he said as I let out a small sigh. "How about we give Paul a call and go from there?" he said as he dialed him, letting the phone connect.

"Marsh, what's up man?" Paul said as he answered the phone. "Hey, Avery and I just had a few questions and were were wondering if you could help us settle them" he said as he pulled me into him. Paul let out a small laugh, "hello, Ms. Avery" Paul said as the tone in his voice changed.

I cleared my throat, "soon I'll prefer, Mrs. Mathers" I said before there was a small silence, "holy fuck, Marshall did you propose?" Paul asked as we heard the excitement in his voice. "I did, this morning. That's actually what we need to talk about"

"Our relationship was never really publicized besides the pictures that circulated, so where do we go from here?" Marshall asked.

"In my opinion, people who watch your social media religiously speculate something between the two of you already, you already make it obvious. Avery goes back and forth to Michigan, her likes have shot up by the thousands" he said, "there are comments on her posts from your daughters and friends, so honestly, if you wanna post something, I say do it"

"Marsh, I know your a very private person so I don't know how you feel about it" he said before there was a silence. "I'll do whatever Avery wants to do" Marshall said as his fingers grazed my skin. "Either of you could post something, and I promise you, it won't take long for it to circulate"

"Thanks Paul" I said softly. "Congratulations you guys, you two deserve" he said before hanging up. "Whenever you're ready to post something, you have the go ahead" Marshall said as he pulled me into him, pressed his lips to my skin.
