I slumped down on the sofa of my best friend Olivia’s house and cradled my head in my hands.“There must be something that I’ve done to him.”
“What makes you think that babe?”

“Well, he’s ignored my calls and text messages since yesterday morning. I must’ve said something to piss him off so now he’s not talking to me. It must be that. He’s probably going to break up with me when he gets home from tour.”

“Honey, you’re over thinking it. He’s on tour. You know that. He’s probably busy. I’m sure he’ll ring you before he goes on stage tonight or something and there’s no way he’ll be breaking up with you.”

“You think?”I asked, wiping a few stray tears from my face.

Olivia nodded and gave me a bright smile.“Yes, I do think that.”

For the first time today, a real smile on my face appeared.

“There’s the smile I’ve been wanting to see. Don’t worry about it London. Matt will ring you. I know he will.”

I nodded and hugged her tightly.“I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

Olivia laughed and hugged me tighter.“I know baby girl. Now, let’s have a movie marathon. Tim Burton?”

My eyes lit up and I let out a small squeal.“Yes!”I squeaked out.

Olivia giggled and nodded her head.“Thought so,”She smiled.

She walked over to her movie collection and pulled out Sweeney Todd and stuck it in the DVD player.“I’ll be right back. I’m just going to make some popcorn,”She spoke with a smile.

I nodded and slipped off my vans before getting comfortable on the sofa. “Just hurry up,” I smirked.

Olivia flipped me off and walked into the kitchen. I lay there on the sofa and wondered if I should text Matt one more time, just to say sorry for what I did, if I did do anything at all. I pulled my phone from my pocket and slid my hand across the‘Slide to Unlock’bar and tapped the‘messages’ app. I bought up Matt’s contact and opened up ‘Create a new text’.

‘Matt, I’m sorry if I did anything for you to ignore my text messages and calls. I love you so much <3 xo’

I pressed‘Send’ before locking my phone and snuggling back into the sofa.

***

As Olivia grabbed a bag of popcorn from the cupboard and stuck it in the microwave, her phone beeped. She picked it up from the table and saw ‘Matt’ flashing across the screen. She unlocked her phone and opened up the text.

‘How are things going? She just sent me a text message saying she’s sorry for whatever she’s done. I’ll be finished here soon. I’ll text you when I’m ready for you to send her over.’

Olivia smiled and texted Matt back.

‘Sure love. She’s totally clueless to what’s going on but she had a sneaky suspicion that you’re going to break up with her when you get back from ‘tour’ but I got her out of that mindset. Now stop texting me and get back to the surprise ;).’

She chuckled as she sent the message and locked her phone before grabbing the bag of popcorn out of the microwave and pouring the popcorn in a big bowl. She sprinkled a bit of salt and added a bit of butter before leaving the kitchen and taking a seat next to me. She passed me the bowl of popcorn and pressed ‘Play Movie’ and we both waited for Johnny Depp to show his sexy face on the screen.

***

A few hours later, we had watched Sweeney Todd, The Nightmare before Christmas AND Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. I sat up and stretched before looking over at Olivia and smiled.“I feel much better. Thank you.”

Olivia grinned.“You’re welcome love. Look at the time, you should be heading home. Bella needs feeding, doesn’t she?”

I nodded.“I suppose you’re right,”I murmured, slipping my vans back on my feet.

I stood up and slipped my leather jacket on and grabbed my car keys before hugging Olivia and saying goodbye.

***

A few minutes later I arrived at home and parked my car in the driveway. I frowned when I noticed a limo parked curbside in front of my house. I climbed out of my car and made my way over to the limo, only to find a familiar face dressed as a limo driver. “Brian, what the fuck are you doing here? Aren’t you meant to be on tour? And why the hell are you dressed as a limo driver?”

“Hey London, no we finished tour. The last show was canceled because of the weather so we came home early. I’m dressed like a limo driver as a favor for Matt. Now, please stop asking questions, take this note and be back here in 30 minutes.”

I frowned but took the letter anyways. I opened it and pulled out the card, automatically recognizing the scribble that was known as Matt’s handwriting.

‘Hey baby,

I guess Brian has already told you that we’re back from tour. Please go inside and get dressed. Wear that dress I love so much, the shoes that I love ;) and your hair the way I love so much.

Love Matty xo’

I smiled and shook my head at his cuteness before turning on my heel and making my way up the path to the front door.

***

I looked at myself in the mirror and fixed my hair a bit. I was wearing my black and red Alexander McQueen Stripe Snake Jacquard Knit dress that Matt loved so much, my Giuseppe Zanotti Strappy Sandals that Matt always wanted me to wear when he fucked me good and hard and my hair was in a side ponytail, which, of course, Matt loved.

I smirked at myself and grabbed my clutch before leaving the bedroom. I made sure my house keys and phone were in my clutch and locked the house before making my way down the path to the limo where Brian was standing with the back door open.

He closed the door once I had climbed in and made his way around the car to the driver’s side.“Brian, where are we going?”

Brian pulled another note from the glove compartment and passed it to me.“Here’s another clue babes. By the way, you look absolutely gorgeous.”

I blushed and smiled at him.“Thank you Bri.”

He smiled and started the car before pulling away from the curb.

I leaned back in the seat and opened the note.

‘Babe,

You’re probably asking Brian where he’s taking you. I’ll give you a clue. Do you remember where we first met?

Love Matty xo’

-Flashback 12 years ago-

I was new in Huntington Beach and decided to take Lucky for a walk. “Mom, I’m taking Lucky for a walk along the beach. I’ll be back later.”

“Okay sweetie, be safe.”

I clipped the leash on Lucky’s collar and slipped my shoes on before leaving the house.

As I walked along the beach, I thought about things. I was glad that we had moved to Huntington Beach. My dad had a better job. I needed to start fresh and so did my mom. I was thinking a lot about things that I didn’t notice the football heading straight for my head. I let out a groan once it connected with my head and fell to the ground, letting go of Lucky’s leash in the process. All I remember was someone racing over to me and kneeling beside me before darkness took over.

A little while later, I woke up and sat up, gripping my head.“Oh thank fuck. Are you okay?”A guy on my left asked.

I looked to my left and found a guy with tattoos scatted all over his arms and I nodded.“Yeah,”I breathed out.“Just hurts like a bitch.”

The guy smiled and helped me up.“Getting a football to the head will do that to you. I’m Zacky.”

“Hi Zacky, I’m London. Shit, have you seen my dog?”

“He’s right here,”Another voice said.

I spun around and found another guy with tattoos scatted all over his arms, holding the leash with Lucky connected to it.“Thank you!”I muttered.

He sent me a flirty smile and handed me the leash.“No problem. I’m Matt.”

“Hi Matt. I’m London.”

-Flashback ends-

Brian pulled the car into the car park of the beach and climbed out, running around to open my door.

“Thank you,”I spoke before making my way to the spot where Matt and I first met.

I reached the spot and found Zacky dressed in a suit, holding a football and another note.“Hi Zacky,”I grinned.

“Hello milady,”He spoke with a British accent, passing me the note and football in the process.

I giggled and took them, thanking him, before opening the note.

‘Babe,

You’re at the beach where we first met. Here’s the second clue. Do you remember where we had our first date?

Love Matty xo’

-Flashback 8 years ago-

“Matt, where are we going?”I asked, trailing behind him.

Matt turned to me and grinned. “We’re almost there babe.”

I looked down at my shoes and blushed. We had only been dating for 2 weeks and I still went giddy every time he called me babe.

“Close your eyes.”

I looked up at him and opened my mouth to say something before letting out a sigh and closing my eyes. I felt Matt move behind me and grab my shoulders before slowly moving me forward. “If I fall over, I’m going to kill you Matthew Charles Sanders.”

Matt chuckled and pressed a light kiss to the back of my neck. A shiver ran down my spine and I bit my bottom lip. The things Matt did to me. “Only, you can get away with saying my full name.”

“That’s because you love me.”

“That I do London. That I do.”

I smiled at hearing that and leaned back against his chest. “A few more steps and we’re there baby,” Matt muttered a few seconds later.

I nodded slightly and continued to take easy steps forward. “Okay, you can open your eyes now.”

I opened my eyes and a gasp left my lips. There was a big beautiful tree that had its roots exposed with a romantic dinner for two next to it and candles all around the table and on one of the plates were two adorable Jack Skellington and Sally vinylmation teddies. I spun around and hugged Matt tightly. “Did you do this all for me?” I asked.

Matt nodded. “Yes, but I did have some help from Olivia.”

I smiled and pressed my lips against his in a sweet passionate kiss. “I love you, Matt.”

“I love you too London.”

Brian pulled up and I waited until he climbed out of the car and opened my door. “Thank you Bri,” I murmured, before making my way down the path to find the location where Matt and I had our first date.

A few minutes later, I reached the location and found Johnny in a suit, like Zacky, and holding a note and two adorable Jack and Sally teddies. The exact same ones that Matt has gotten me on our first date all those years ago.

Johnny smiled and handed me the note and teddies and did a little bow. I giggled and thanked him before opening the note.

‘Babe,

This is the last stop before you reach your surprise. I hope you like the Jack and Sally vinylmation teddies Johnny gave you. I remember how upset you were when the set I bought on our first date broke so when I was in Germany, I found these in a cute little store and automatically thought of you. Here’s your third and final clue. Do you remember where we first made love?

Love Matty xo,’

I waved goodbye to Johnny and headed back towards the car. I climbed in and waited till Brian was in before we set off to the third and final destination.

-Flashback 7 years ago-

It was prom night and Matt said he had a surprise for me. We had said goodbye to our friends and set off to wherever Matt was taking me in the limo Matt’s parents had hired for us.

A few minutes we had arrived at the Hilton hotel and I was taken aback by just how fancy it was. How the hell did Matt afford this?

Matt helped me out of the car and led me inside to the desk where he asked for our key. The reception nodded and handed him a card before he grabbed hold of my hand again and led me toward the elevator. Once the elevator doors were shut, I turned on him and began asking him questions. “Matt, how did you afford something like this? I love that you did this for me but you didn’t have to.”

Matt gripped my shoulders and pressed a loving kiss to my lips. “Yes, I did. You’re the love of my life London. I want to spoil you. I wanted to do something special for you. I wanted to spend our last night together, somewhere where we won’t be disturb and where we can just get caught up in each other.”

I wiped a stray tear that had fallen from my eyes and smiled. What he had just said was so beautiful but sad at the same time. Matt was leaving with his band Avenged Sevenfold on their first big tour tomorrow night. I leaned up on my tippy toes and kissed him hard. “I love you, Matt.”

“I love you too Princess.”

Soon we had reached our floor and Matt led me to our room. Once he had gotten the door open, I walked and a gasp fell from my lips at how stunning the room was.

Matt came up and wrapped his arms around me from behind. “Do you like it?” He asked.

“Like it? I love it, Matt. Thank you.”

He grabbed me by the hips and spun me around, pressing a sweet kiss to my lips. I responded and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him against my body. Matt trailed his hands up and down my dress before slowly pushing me towards the bed. I fell on the bed once the back of my knees came into contact with the mattress and pulled Matt down with me.

We landed on the bed with a thud but our lips stayed connected. I ran my hands down Matt’s suit and began to undo his tie and shirt. Finally, I got them off him and pulled away to catch my breath for a moment. He looked down at me with a loving smile and caressed my cheek. “You’re so beautiful.”

I smiled and pressed my lips to his once more. Matt pulled away once more and stood up, pulling me with him. He turned me around and moved my hair out of the way and unzipped my dress, pressing soft kisses from the curve of my shoulder up to my ear. He grabbed one of my hands and helped me step out of the dress before pulling me against his body and connecting our lips together once more.

“Are you sure you want to do this London?”

I nodded. “I’ve never been surer in my life then I am right now. I love you, Matt. With all my heart. I’m ready.”

Matt nodded and gave me a soft kiss. “If it hurts too much, you let me know and I’ll stop.”

I nodded and reached down to undo his pants. He kicked them off along with his boxers and helped me out of my strapless bra and matching panties. We looked into each other’s eyes before Matt lowered me to the bed and grabbed a condom. He ripped the package open and slipped it over his hard length. I sat up and kissed him before bringing him down to the bed.

That night was one of the best nights of my life.

-End of flashback-

***

Brian pulled into the car park of the hotel and the valet helped me out. Brian sped off and I made my way into the hotel, heading straight to the elevator. I knew exactly what room I needed to go to. I pressed the ‘Level 4’ button and waited for the elevator to reach the floor.

A few seconds later, the elevator stopped on my floor and I made my way to room ‘423’. I stood in front of it for a few seconds before pushing the handle down and opening it. The door swung open and the first thing I noticed were a line of rose petals leading to another part of the room. I stopped and closed the door before following the rose petals in the bedroom. I looked up and had to grip the doorway before I almost fell over. In a suit and down on one knee was my boyfriend of 8 years, Matthew Charles Sanders.

“London Marie Willis, you are the love of my life. We’ve known each other for the last 12 years and I wouldn’t trade those 12 years for anything. We’ve been through thick and thin and it’s only strengthened our relationship more and more. You are the only one for me and I don’t know what I would without you by my side. You’ve been with me from the start of my career and helped me when I’ve needed you the most. I couldn’t imagine my life without you. London Marie Willis, will you do me the biggest honor and become Mrs. London Sanders?”

By now tears were falling down my face as I nodded. “Yes,” I choked out. “Yes, I will marry you.”

Matt stood up and slid a beautiful white gold diamond ring that had ‘’My One True Love’ engraved on the inside of the band onto my finger.

***

-A year later-

“Do you take this man in death for the rest of your unnatural life?’ Zacky asked.

Zacky had become a wedding officiate a few hours earlier to marry us and it was quite hilarious that he spontaneously recited the wedding part from their song ‘A Little Piece of Heaven.’

“Yes I do.”

“Do you take this woman in death for the rest of your unnatural life?”

“I do.”

“I now pronounce you-.”

Before Zacky could finish, Matt had dipped me and pressed a passionate kiss to my lips. After a few seconds Matt pulled me upright and interlaced our fingers together and we walked up the aisle for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Sanders.
