Seize The Day
CH.35 - Be Mine?
Arianna's POV
Life has been amazing for the past month. Brian has been very supportive of me and help me majority of the time. It's like I am the kid now and it gets a bit annoying when he tried to do everything for me, but i get his intention. He just doesn't want me to get hurt.
Zacky and the guys and Valerie, especially Valerie already brought me loads of gifts, rather its baby clothes to a bed. Hell, i don't even know the gender yet.
I don't know if it was my hormones interfering or stuff but i felt that Brian was acting very weird the past week or so. He wasn't home by the time I am up, he usually comes home late. I thought about him being unfaithful or abandoning me since I am pregnant but I know my thoughts is probably incorrect cause of those mood swings. My mood swings also lead me to think about marriage. I kept thinking that the minute this child is born, Brian would get the hell out of my life. I tried to shook off that thoughts and Brian tried to do anything he could to get me to feel happy and protected.
To take my mind of these things going on, Brian thought it would be a great idea to have a vacation somewhere. Yeah, that would be great, if only my mood swings would stop. Our destination will be at a resort at Bahamas.
Before the flight, Brian assured me that everything will be okay since i was worried about the plane crashing or some shit. STOP IT HORMONES!
The flight went by like the speed of sound, too fast. Once we landed in the Bahamas, i was surprised when Brian arranged a limo to pick us up.
"Why are we in a limo?"
"We deserves the best!"
The limo brought us to one of those resorts that are near the beach. We were checked in to one of those suites that once you walked out the back door, you are at the beach.
We dropped our luggage off and instead of hitting the bed, I walked out to the breezing wind and took a breather. I enjoyed the quiet environment here. Away from everyone as much as I love them. This kind of environment also made me feel relaxed, even around Brian. I guess i stared so long at the blue-tinted ocean that i also fall into it when Brian puts an arm around my growing waistline.
"Wow." I said surprised.
"Sorry babe." He kissed my cheek.
"It's so pretty here. I love it."
"Glad you do honey. We can swim later if you want."
Swimming. One of my favorite thing to do but i literally stopped going to the beach after i discovered i am with child. I feel really weird showing off my belly.
I frowned. I guess Brian noticed too.
"Why are you sad?"
I didn't reply, just look downwards to my belly.
"Honey, you are beautiful and the baby is too. Don't be ashamed of your body." He turned me around and looked me directly in my eyes. "No matter how you look like, skinny, fat, tall, short or anything, I will love you because of your personality."
For some freaking reasons, that simple thing was enough to put me in tears.
"Don't cry, Ari" He pulled me towards him. "It's okay."
"No, it's not. I feel so bad for some stupid reasons. I don't even know what i am doing or thinking and my head is going like a thousand miles per hour. I am just afraid you won't like me anymore"
He frowned when i said that.
He sighed.
"Arianna, no matter what or how you look, I love you."
And since my hormones speaking, i blurted out,
"show me then."
With that, he dropped to one knee and pulled something out of his back pocket. A velvet black box.
"There. I was going to propose to you at the end of this trip but now that the opportunity is here, i just want to say that I love you and this is only way I can show it to you." He paused. I am stunned, shocked. I imagined this happening for so long and i am actually too excited to speak anything. My dream has become a reality.
"I love you from the bottom of my heart. I know i am not perfect but with you, i feel like you are the woman that can make my life perfect. I am glad to have you by my side when I was at my downfall. Without you, i would probably be dead and useless. You are the hope in my life." He paused and look up sincerly, opening the black box in the process, revealing at beautiful heart-shaped diamond ring.
"Would you marry me?"
By this time, my tears are just falling uncontrollably and i was unable to speak. My heart is screaming YES YES YES YES YES but my mouth is just not doing its job. So I did the best I can. I dragged Brian up and even though i know i am a huge mess right now, i pulled him into a kiss.
I let go of him and he looked at me.
"Yes."
"We can get marry now."
"Wait what?"
"Now. I am serious."
"What about my brother and the guys?"
"No worries."
That evening was the best evening in my entire life. Apparently Brian has planned the wedding on the days that he went missing. He didn't cheat on me, he planned this all by himself. Even though it was such a small, simple wedding by the beach, i found it to be perfect. What warms my heart the most was his effort to do so. He even arranged everyone of my friends and family to show up without me knowing. This is the best fucking surprise. EVER. I don't know how he manage to do this but he found the perfect wedding dress for me and him in a suit, just makes my knees weak.
That evening, I am no longer Arianna Baker, but Arianna Haner.
