I can hear the sound of waves and the smell of sand making my nerves calm. I can guess from these things that he brought me to a beach. I am so impatient with the blindfold and the thought of being near a beach. I so desperately want to untie the blindfold and see what Jeon has planned but at the same time, I don't want to spoil his hard work preparing it.
" How long do I have to be blindfolded?" I asked, hearing a chuckle from him.
" I'll be removing it in a second, love!" He stopped walking and stopped me with him and left my hand to feel it behind my head removing the blindfold. It took a second to adjust my eyes but when they did I gasped loudly making my breath hitch in my throat and tears started pooling in my eyes at the scene unfolding in front of me.
Jeon is on one knee holding a ring box with a big smile and twinkle in his eyes. Those are not the only things that made me gasp but we are standing near a beach which is decorated with purple and white balloons, flowers, and lanterns, and in the middle is a table with two chairs decorated beautifully.
" Oh My gosh!" I heard a familiar voice filled with happiness and surprise. I turned my head towards its source to see Andre and Siya are in a video call, tears streaming down her face and a big smile plastered to her face Andre is controlling his tears which are threatening to fall, patting Siya's back to calm her. Seeing them both made me sob because they are the most important people in my life and they are witnessing the most beautiful moment of my life.
My attention turned towards Jeon when u heard him clear his throat.
" I have already asked you last night to marry me but I wanted to ask you with a ring and a proper proposal because you deserve it and much more." Last night was enough for me because the thought and intention count to me more than anything but seeing this beautiful scenery and the thought he put into preparing this for me to ask again to marry him sealed the deal.
" So, Iam asking you again, Enya Francis Bailey! Will you marry me?" This is feeling more real than yesterday because of my friends watching the whole scene and the ring in his hands and him being on his knee.
When Justin proposed to me I was happy but the happiness I am feeling right now is much more than the first time. With Jeon, I am feeling like he is it for me not just for words or things but I can feel it in my soul.
" Don't just stand and stare at him, Enya! Say something fast because if not then his knee is going to break any second." Siya squealed from the phone, excited about my answer. Jeon, Andre, and I laughed at her and I turned my head towards Jeon and held his eyes.
He can see my answer clearly through my eyes but he needs my words too.
" Yes, I will, Jeon! I will be happy to be Mrs. Jeon." Jeon has a big watery grin on his beautiful face. He removed a gorgeous ring that has a purple-colored diamond. I have never seen such a pretty ring that took my breath away.
Jeon put the ring on my ring finger and stood up holding my both hands in his. I showed my ring to Andre and Siya, and they both gushed about how pretty the ring is and about everything.
" Congratulations, Guys! I am so happy for you." Siya congratulated us, blowing a kiss to me, which I returned.
" Congratulations, Mr & Mrs. Jeon!" Andre followed Siya to which we thanked them both.
" Thank you, Guys!"
" Thank you!" We both thanked them before they ended the call. Siya threatened me to call her tomorrow and tell her everything, and with a laugh and a lot of air kisses, she ended the call.
Everything is silent around us, the only noise can be heard from the waves which are coming to the shore and the crickets from the bushes. It's serene and calm.
Jeon and I are standing facing each other with a lot of emotions going through us. We didn't kiss earlier because Siya chimed in between but now there is no one to stop us from kissing, it's a silly thought but I am dying to feel his lips on mine, dying to taste his familiar taste and warmth. It's been an hour since we kissed last time but still, I am craving it. His kisses are addictive.
He can sense my need for his kiss, without wasting any more seconds he pressed his body to mine dipping his head low to capture my lips with his. His soft lips feel extra soft moving with mine in sync, he bit my lower lip asking me to open my lips and give him a taste. I opened eagerly wanting to taste him.
The fire started running through every nerve in my body with the first stroke of his tongue. I moaned in his mouth feeling so turned by just a kiss.
This kiss is different from other kisses, they always feel different every time we kiss, and this time the kiss feels extra different. We are practically devouring each other's mouths.
The need to come up for air is so intense but not wanting to break the kiss is more intense. We pulled away reluctantly, breathing hard.
" Come, let's get you settled in." Jeon took my hand guiding me towards the decorated table with candles and flowers. As we near it, I can see the table which held a wine that will be going to a non-alcoholic one and wine glasses for both of us, and some starters which are still hot as I can see the steam from the plates and my pregnant nose detected the smell of the food.
When we reached the table, Jeon helped me into the chair and he took the opposite chair and settled in.
" Do you want to taste the wine? Or want to start with the food first?" Jeon asked.
" I would like to taste the wine first." I grinned sheepishly. I am craving the taste of wine as I prefer wine to other beverages. It may be non-alcoholic but it is still a wine.
Jeon poured the wine in both glasses and handed me my glass which I took gratefully and sipped. My taste buds came alive instantly with a taste of the wine, making me moan blissfully. Jeon chuckled hearing me moan at the taste of the wine
" I didn't know that something other than me would make you moan like that." My face heated up at his words and deep blush coated my face and I know he can clearly see it.
" Stop it! Jeon." I whined, embarrassed at myself for moaning at the taste of the wine.
" Don't need to be embarrassed baby, I am happy that you liked the wine. I bought it for you as I know that you prefer wine more and I was skeptical about choosing which one you would like but now after hearing you moan like that, I am proud of myself for choosing it." Jeon grinned, crinkles in his eyes appearing which made him look so gorgeous and edible.
" Thank you so much." I thanked to which he just waved his hand like it was nothing, gulping his wine hurriedly to answer me.
" It was just a wine baby and you don't need to thank me for that. It is the bare minimum I can do for you." I shook my head, cutting him off. It's just not for the wine but for the thought of him remembering what I prefer. No one has ever done that to me and seeing him doing things that I prefer and likes is so important to me and made me happy.
" Not just for wine, Jeon! Thanks for the surprise and the place which you decorated so beautifully and the thought of my likes and dislikes and for everything." I placed my hand on his caressing it.
" You deserve everything I did for you and much more, Enya! And please don't thank me for these things but instead show me by loving me so much." He linked our fingers and held right. My eyes landed on the ring which has a purple diamond. I always wanted to ask Jeon why he likes purple so much that we clashed for his purple-colored mic when we first met.
" Why do you like the purple color so much?" He was surprised by my question and then it came to the excitement to tell me why he liked the color.
" I have two reasons for it, One- The color gives a vibe of trust and love which is rare. You can't find trust and love in a relationship nowadays and these both are the things needed for a happy relationship, so, I purple you, Enya! This means I trust you and love you more than anything in this world." He is going to make me cry again and I can't cry tonight anymore because I don't want to look like a crying mess on this beautiful day.
" And the second reason?" I asked, curiously.
" This color is the reason we met and fought, if I wouldn't have been stubborn about this particular color then we wouldn't have met." He is right, this color made us fight and we instantly clicked despite the fight. It was like an electric buzz going on between us.
" I am thankful for that, Jeon! Now it is my favorite color too." I grinned, eyeing the beautiful purple color.
" I decided that it is the best color to use in the making of an engagement ring for a beautiful lady who played a part in our meeting." I nodded my head smiling and admiring the ring.
" I loved it!" I told him, sipping my wine and digging into the food which was surprisingly brought to us by a waiter. The food, wine, ring, scenery, beach everything is so perfect and amazing.
" I am happy that you are loving it." He gave me a warm smile which warmed my heart too. This all feels like a dream to me, I will be harshly woken up to see everything was just a dream and that will break me into tiny pieces which will be hard to fix but I know it is not a dream but my reality, my life and will be my future but the demons which I was taming is still lurking in the dark and taunting me and reminding me how pathetic my life is and was always.
How unlovable I was in the past and will be now and in the future too. A warm hand landed on my hand breaking my horrible thoughts. A scowl is replaced on my face with a smile that I didn't notice.
Jeon seemed worried seeing my face but I just brushed off my scowl and smiled, the smile will automatically come on my face whenever I see Jeon.
" Are you okay? Why are you scowling?" He cupped my cheek, caressing it and making me lean into his touch. His touch always calms me and right now I need his touch to make the negative depressing thoughts from my head to go away and it is working.
Soft music started playing and Jeon got up from his chair making me raise my brows in question to which he just chuckled and came to my side and held his hand out urging me to take it and without any hesitation, I took it and stood up with a big happy smile.
He led me to the side and placed my one hand on his shoulder and another he held in his hand and his other hand went around my waist. My baby bump touched his stomach.
We started swaying to the music slowly under the stars and the cool breeze caressing my face and arms. The scent of the sand and water relaxed me.
I placed my head on Jeon's shoulder and closed my eyes, cutting off my surroundings and only feeling Jeon's warmth and his scent, touch, and his heartbeat which is beating with mine.
I am feeling safe in his arms and for the first time in my life that I am not afraid of anything even when my eyes are closed and I know for damn sure that I will face and fight anything which comes our way with Jeon beside me.
This is the best night of my life. I will tell our daughter about how her father made me fall in love with him for the second time and made me feel safe.
I don't want this night to be over but we have to go back because my back is killing me and the heels started feeling uncomfortable.
" Do you want to go home?" Jeon whispered, afraid that he would break this beautiful moment that we created but he knows exactly what I am feeling.
" Hmm." I hummed in response, too tired and overwhelmed to give a response in words but I have a happy content smile on my face and it is not going to be wiped off anytime soon.
" Let's go then." Jeon placed his jacket around me to make me feel warm and his arms snaked around him supporting me to walk.
We sat in our car and started our way back home. I don't know when but I started dozing off with a full tummy and heart.
