Prologue

So many of my smiles are because of you.

Prologue

"Hey there, may I sit here?" He asked.

"Sure, do whatever you want." Willow said not looking up from her assignments that she is currently doing in the cafe.

"Hey, you're Mr Beckett's daughter right?" He asked, trying to start a conversation.

With that question, she raised her head up. She looks around cautiously to see if there is anyone who is looking towards her direction. Knowing that there is nobody looking at her except for the man that is sitting opposite her, she let out her breathe.

"How do you know me?" Willow asked after seeing that it was Mr Aston's son. A corparate heir to a company.

"Well, I've seen you in the newspaper before about your family. I must say you look more beautiful in person." Gabriel stated while sipping his coffee.

"Uh, thanks I guess?" She replied not really knowing how to reply to a stranger's compliment.

"What are you studying in?" He asked, getting more interested in her.

"Business and fashion." She replied plainlessly, putting her attention back towards her assignment.

"I am sad to say that I have to go to my class eventhough I would like to get to know you more. I'll see you soon!" Gabriel said getting up and waving at her.

She looked towards his descending figure. They were in a cafe near their college where Willow likes to spend her time there. She smiled. She kinda likes the way that Gabriel is curious about her. She likes his smile eventhought it was their first encounter.

The week goes on smooth for both Willow and Gabriel as they start talking to each other more. By the end of their college year, they have made countless of memories.

As they confessed their feelings towards each other. After 2 years of dating, Gabriel thought it was his queue to step up their relationship to another level.

Hey babe, i'm gonna take you out for dinner, so put on something nice yea?

Where are you taking me? Feels excited :)

See you later, i'll pick you up at 7.30.

Willow put on a satin red dress with light make up and some accesories. She had a really bad day today as her customers from her boutique was really picky and it made her irritated and frustrated.

A knock was heard that made her curl her lips up to a smile. She made her way towards the door to see her boyfriend holding flowers and a box of chocolates.

She puts them on the kitchen counter.

He extended his arm which she gladly took and made their way towards their dinner reservation.

Gabriel was being extra gentleman today that it made Willow wondered why is he acting like that.

"Is everything okay with you? You seem abit happier than usual." She asked as she saw that Gabriel was breathing heavily.

He got up and went towards her. He bend his knee and pulled out a small velvet box. He opened and it lays a diamond ring. She was surprised. She covers her mouth in shock. He holds the box nearer to her.

"Willow Beckett, ever since I saw you in the cafe that day, I knew you were the one. I like gazing into your hazel eyes, your vanilla scent and your warm hugs and kisses. You light up my world ever since that day where I got to talk to you. I don't ever want to lose you because you are so precious to me and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?" He finished it with a nervous smile.

Willow gets up from her seat, hands still covering her mouth as her tears flow down unconditionally. "Yes." She replied extending her right hand out as Gabriel slides the ring.
