LIZZIE'S BIRTHDAY
"Y/n?"
"Hi baby" she smiles softly, approaching me and hugging my hips.
I gaze at her intently, taking in every aspect of her beauty, and i can't help but question if this is all just a dream or if it's actually reality.
Your outfit:
"What-what are you doing here?" i ask, my confusion evident.
She flashes me a smile and steps closer, planting a gentle kiss on my lips.
In that moment, it feels like i can finally breathe again.
"Did you honestly think i would miss this day?" she whispers in a deep, husky voice.
My mind races, trying to process her words
"So it's not true that- well, that-"
"I told you a huge lie, sorry baby.
But i needed to organize this day perfectly and surprise you without you finding out anything" she explains, as she tucks a strand of hair behind my ear and gazes into my eyes, i can't help but feel a mix of emotions.
"Are you mad at me?" she asks, her voice filled with concern.
I don't answer immediately, taking a moment to gather my thoughts.
I playfully give her a light punch on the chest, and she pretends to be hurt
"Ouch" she says while rubbing her chest.
"You need to stop lying to me" i say, pouting and crossing my arms.
"You're absolutely right, my love. But trust me, it was all worth it. Come on, let's go" she says, grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers.
"Close your eyes" she demands me
As we walk, she guides me for a few steps, and i can hear the sound of our feet trampling on dry leaves and branches.
"Honey, i don't think my heels are suitable for this situation" i warn her, and her giggle fills the air.
"You're right" she says, and without hesitation, she lifts me up in her arms.
"Keep your eyes closed, princess" she tells me, and i nestle into her chest, feeling safe and loved.
After a short while, she stops and gently places me back on the ground.
She wraps her arms around me from behind, leaving sweet kisses on my neck.
"Ready?" she asks, and i nod eagerly.
"Good, then open your eyes" she says, and i slowly focus on the scene in front of me.
I'm amazed by the effort she put into creating this special moment just for me.
"Happy birthday, my love" she whispers in my ear, and my heart fills with joy.
Surprise:
"So, do you like it?" she whispers in my ear, gently nibbling on my lobe.
"It's perfect" i whisper back, taking in every intricate detail.
"I can't believe you did all of this for me" i add, tears welling up in my eyes.
She grabs my arm, turning me towards her side,
our chests collide, our noses touch, and our breaths become heavy with excitement.
"You deserve it, i'm serious Liz. This is the love you deserve, and i hope i can always give it to you.
You are the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me in my lif-" i can't let her finish, throwing myself onto her lips, savoring her delicious taste, feeling so safe and protected in her arms.
"I love you, idiot" i say with a smile, and she smiles back.
"How did you organize all of this?" i ask curiously.
"Oh, well, i had a lot of helping hands" she says with a grin, and i shake my head, chuckling.
"Come on, let's go before the food gets cold" she says, taking my hand and leading me to the table.
Like a true gentlewoman, she moves the chair to make me sit at the table, rearranges it, and leaves a kiss on my head.
"This is for you" she says, handing me a red rose.
"I went to Marlene and asked for the best roses she has, just for you" she explains.
It's so incredibly romantic.
I thought the worst, but instead, she was just busy preparing all of this for me.
As she takes her seat beside me, i can't help but notice the way the candlelight dances in her eyes.
It's like if time slows down, and it's just the two of us in this enchanted moment.
The aroma of the delicious meal swirls around, her hand gently brushes mine, sending a delightful shiver down my spine.
I watch as she reaches for my hand and interlace our fingers together.
"Cheers to us, my love, and to this beautiful night" she says, her voice fills with tenderness, lifting her glass toward mine.
I raise my glass, meeting hers in a toast filled with love.
I take a sip, savoring the taste of the wine on my tongue.
With a soft smile, i meet her gaze, my eyes reflecting the devotion i feel for her.
"Thank you honey, for everything" I whisper, my voice fills with an echo of love that lingers in this enchanting place
"You're truly outdone yourself, miss y/l/n" i add playfully, she chuckles at my words
"It's my pleasure, professor" she teases me with her damn beautiful face and my heart swells within my chest
We enjoy the moment, just the two of us and that's enough for me, it's exactly what i asked for this day.
Her laughter dances in the air, filling my heart with warmth
"What? Why are you looking at me?" I ask her, she smirks
"Come here" she grabs my chair and drags me close to her
"I can't believe how lucky i am to be here with you" she whispers, her eyes sparkling with desire
I gently squeeze her hand, she leans closer, her lips brushing against my ear
"You make me happier than i ever thought possible baby" she adds, the soft touch of her breath on my skin sends shivers down my spine.
I moan softly, feeling her teeth sink into my skin
"Calm down baby, it's not time yet" she chuckles against my neck and i'm a little disappointed when she pulls away from me.
She stands up and holds out her hand towards me, i tilt my head and look at her confused.
"Come with me, i have another surprise" she says smiling and i shake my head smiling like a fool
Hand in hand we go further into the woods, immersing ourselves in the darkness.
In a situation like that i would definitely have been scared, but i feel safe next to her.
We stop and... I don't see anything
"Honey, it's all dark i can't see anything" i point out to her
"Wait here" she kisses my hand and disappearing
Ok now i'm scared
To be honest, the dark really freak me out
"Y/n? I'm scared" i admit, hugging myself tightly
"Give me a sec!" i hear her voice shouts but i have no clue where it was coming from
But then, just like magic, some lights flicker on, revealing this stunning little gazebo all decked out with flowers and candles all around it.
The gazebo:
A/N:
The music is "Flightless bird, American Mouth" by Iron & Wine
I hear a music, and right after that, she emerges from the trees, making her way towards the stage.
She stretches out her hand to me
"Would you like to dance with me, miss?" she asks me
With sparkling eyes and a heart brimming with joy, i gladly accept her invitation, grabbing her hand, but she scoops me up like a bride and leads me to the center of the Gazebo.
Our laughter fills the air.
"You're absolutely insane" i tease as she gently places me back on the ground.
She wraps her arm around my waist and intertwines her fingers with mine.
Pulling me closer, our noses touch, creating a spark of electricity.
We sway to the music, taking small steps in perfect harmony.
"Yeah maybe, but remember when you told me that you couldn't go to prom? Well, i organized one just for you" she explains, making me do a pirouette and then hug me tightly to her again.
"Did you really remember that?" i ask, genuinely surprised.
She nods, her eyes filled with sincerity.
"I remember everything about you my love- your words, your voice, your laughter, your scent. Everything.
Because you mean the world to me" she admits
As the melody wraps around us, her words lingers in the air, creating a magical atmosphere.
I can't help but be swept away by the sincerity in her eyes.
The Gazebo seems like our private sanctuary, where time slow down just for us.
In the soft glow of the moonlight, our dance continue, we twirl and sway, lost in the rhythm of the night.
The world melts away, leaving only the two of us in that enchanted moment.
"You've always have a way of turning ordinary moments into something extraordinary" i whisper, my heart dancing to the same rhythm as our feet.
"Well, you inspire me to be extraordinary" she smiles, but then she steps back slightly, maintaining eye contact.
With a tender smile, she reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small box.
"And you know what? So many things have happened to us, good and bad and despite this we are still here, sharing this dance.
You made me a better person, you brought out the best in me and I don't know how to thank you.
You've made me the happiest person, and i can't imagine my life without you" she said gently.
My breath catch as she opens the box, revealing a sparkling ring.
"So, i uhm -well, you see... I've been thinking- shit this is harder than i thought" she chuckles nervously, scratching the back of her head.
I couldn't help but giggle at her endearing awkwardness.
"Hey it's not funny" she pounts
"Sorry honey, you're right, take your time" i encourage, a playful smile on my face.
With a determined nod, she finally blurtes out
"Okay uhm let's see-maybe-maybe it's time we take our relationship to the next level and make it official.
So, what i'm trying to say is- would you like to be my girlfriend?" she finishes to say with an adorable smile
"I mean-i hope it's not too much- but you know-"
"Absolutely yes, goofy" i interrupt her kissing her passionately.
She hugs me tightly, lifting me off the ground.
The nervous tension melts away, replaced by a shared laughter that dances around us.
Then she sets me back down, exhaling a breath she didn't realize she was holding and slips the sparkling ring onto my finger with a satisfied smile.
The ring:
"You know you didn't need to buy me a ring, right?" i say to her
"Yeah well, your finger feel a bit empty without something special" she admits with a playful twinkle in her eyes.
I look at it, how it fits like a perfect puzzle piece and sparkles in the dim light.
"It's so beautiful, just like you" i whisper looking into her eyes
"Thank you, you make me the happiest woman in the world" tears begin to well up in my eyes
"Hey there's no need to cry" she says, taking my face between her hands
"It's just- i-i panicked when i saw you with Hailee. I immediately assumed the worst-"
"Did you see me with Hailee?" she asks me confused
"Yeah, in the college parking lot. I thought you were lying to me, and that between you and her-you know..." i trail off.
She gently interrupts me, caressing my cheeks
"Hey, nothing happened. You can trust me. I only lied to you to set up this surprise, and i asked her for help, just like i asked your sisters, Cassie, Tessa, and Julian" she explains
I nod, feeling embarrassed and looking down.
"Hey, look at me. I love you and only you, okay? I could never cheat on you, Lizzie. Never ever." She whispers, softly kissing my forehead.
"I'm sorry. i should have trusted you" I admit.
"It's okay. It's normal for you to have thought that. Is that why you acted that way that day?" she asks, and i nod.
"Come here idiot" she smiles pulling me close to her and hugging my hips
In the warmth of her embrace, i feel a mix of relief and love.
"Thank you, it was the best birthday of my life. I will remember all too well" i murmur, my voice muffles against her shoulder.
"Even my goofy speech?" she asks me as her fingers tracing soothing circles on my back
"Oh shut up, it was perfect, i wouldn't change a thing" i say with a sheepish grin on my face
I pull back, meeting her gaze.
"I love you" i say, my voice steadier.
"And i love you too little bear, more than anything" she replies, sealing our renewed love with a gentle kiss.
We continue to sway to the fading echoes of the music, in this enchanted haven, where the moonlight caresses us like a lover's touch, and the stars dot a celestial blanket, i find myself lost in the poetry of our love, a narrative written in the language of stolen glances, shared dreams, and the timeless magic of being entwined beneath the vast, romantic expanse of the night sky.
And i'm sure about one thing, this moment will forever etched in my memory.
