Chapter 45

"Hey, did you see manta rays, seahorse, frogfish, and whale shark? It was so cool! I will never forget this feeling! It's cool!"
I said that full of happy emotions, happy emotions that I will never forget. I didn't expect to experience diving here and I also didn't expect to be able to go here with my loved ones, especially with Luke. We were sitting on the deck while our legs are under the water.
I woke up at noon earlier so I only do a few things by now. My friends and Luke just stared at me while shaking their heads. I just smiled and look at the sea.
We had just finished scuba diving and we saw so much of whatever underwater, especially me, I saw a lot of different species there. And they're cute lookup close even though I was really nervous earlier, because I thought that maybe, they would suddenly rush on me and do something.
We also finished fishing earlier and somehow, we caught quite a bit. We also finished the fun tubing and I can say my throat hurts because of so much screams but it was so much fun.
We've all been surfing before as well. I tried that though I was a little nervous because it was my first time, I was always falling into the water, which made my friends laugh.
"You are so happy, huh?" Luke put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me closer to him.
I nodded. "Sure! Who wouldn't be happy with something like this?"
He didn't answer me, he just smiled at me and kissed my head.
"What the heck?"
"The sweet one."
"I hope so, I took my wife with me. We're already hungry here," We laughed.
"Yeah! Me too!" Others agree with what Alice said.
"You really are!" I laughed. "What should we do next? Hmm?" I asked.
Luke faced me and his brows furrowed at the same time. I raised my brow at him but he just put his finger under his chin as if he was thinking of something.
"What is it?"
"What about... Last snorkeling and after that, in spas? What do you think, guys?" Luke suggestions.
"Well, I think that's nice." He looked at me. "I agree!" I raised my hand.
"I agree, too!"
"Me too!"
"Same here!"
"Me! Don't forget about me."
"Wait!" We looked at Lev. "I agree but, after that, we will gonna rest. Okay? We need strength for tomorrow."
My brows furrowed about what she said. We need to rest well later, because we need some strength for tomorrow? What about tomorrow? Is there an occasion tomorrow?
I looked at her. "What about tomorrow?" I asked.
They suddenly looked at each other and their lips parted at the same time. My brows furrowed even more because I feel something weird, I feel that they are hiding something from me, I guess.
They laughed at the same time. Really? We really need to be together. "Oh! Of course, we need some strength for tomorrow because we will–"
"Yah!" Luke suddenly cut her off.
Anne just looked at him and then looked at me again. "Anyway, we will do kitesurfing, island hopping, and jetskiing tomorrow."
I slowly nodded. "Oh! Is that so?" They nodded at the same time again.
"Okay, then. So, let's go? Last snorkeling. Game?" I smiled at them.
"Gameeeeeee!"
We simultaneously jumped into the water and went straight to the bottom. I don’t know what to call what we all do but it’s so much fun. We also had butlers with us to take pictures with us every minute.
Luke was obviously surprised when I put my body on his back but I was even more surprised when they put theirs on one after another. Luke was in the front and Clayton was in the back and we swam together. That's what we did for a moment until we decided to go up first.
"That was so fun!" I said after I take off something in my face.
"Yeah! I agree!" Anne laughed after she said that.
"I can't believe that I'm doing this with you, guys." Darcy suddenly said with a wide smile placed on her lips.
We laughed and sat on the deck again. The butlers approached us and handed us the camera they use for taking pictures of us. We looked at the photos one by one and the shot was super beautiful.
"Wow!" I looked at the butlers. "It's beautiful! You all look like professional photographers. I can see that!" I praise them and they just nodded and smile a little.
"Yeah! Blaire is right. They're good at taking pictures." Lev also agrees about what I said.
Then, we changed our clothes and rested first. After a few minutes of relaxing and talking about things, we went to the spa. We had a massage and I can say it felt so good, really relaxing.
And with that feeling so good, I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep. Very deeply. I just woke up because of the noise of people laughing. I looked at them and realized they were my friends.
"Yah! Where's luke?" I asked which made them frowned.
Anne approaches me. "What's wrong with you! You're looking for him right away while we're here."
Lev also approaches me. "She's right! Maybe, you don't care about us anymore. That's why."
Roxie approaches me. "If we only knew you were like that, we would be FO."
Alice approaches me. "You're pure Luke! Luke! Luke! We're already jealous, you haven't noticed yet."
My lips parted. "Uhm, What's wrong with you, guys?" I asked.
"You see! He really doesn't care about us!"
I laughed when I realized what is really happening. "Oh my god!" They looked at me. "I didn't know you were so dramatic like this."
"Tss!"
"Okay! I'm sorry if that's how I make you all feel. I promise, I'll get it back." I held their hands and smiled a little at them.
"You don't have to." I'm shocked because of that.
I swallowed. "Why?" I asked.
"Because you can also recover from us, but in a different way. But we don't consider that retrieving." They looked at each other and smiled.
"Really? Why?"
"You will find out sooner or later." I just slowly nodded at them.
I understand what they want to convey but I still can’t help but wonder where luke is. I don't want to ask again because my friends are too dramatic now.
I stood up and stretched my body. We were about to leave the spa when I received a text. I picked up my phone and read the text message from Luke.
From: Luke
Hey, I left without letting you know because I don't want to wake you up yet. I just have something important to do. I'll be back!
That's what he said in the text. I nodded and calm myself and take away the bad thoughts I have in mind because I trust him. I trust him so I shouldn't think something bad. He said, he has to do something important, and I know, that important thing is for ourselves. Right!
"What is it, Blaire?" Lev suddenly asked.
I looked at her. "Oh!" I smiled "Luke just texted me, he has to do something important that's why he's not here." I explained.
They slowly nodded and move closer to me "Is that so?" I nodded. "Then, we should go to the bar. Let's have a drink!"
I raised an eyebrow at them. I shook my head and tap their shoulders one by one. "No! I'm too loyal to do that."
I left them there just stunned, it was not new for me that they would react like that but suddenly my feeling changed when I heard a little scream coming from their place. But I just ignore it.
"Blaire!" I'm shocked when they suddenly jump at me and make a circle around me. "You don't have a label, so you can entertain others. Duh!" Roxie said.
I glared at her. "Don't even teach me to cheat. Duh!" I rolled my eyes at her.
They laughed at the same time. "Is that a cheat? You don't have a label. Why? Do you already have a label?"
"Yeah, blaire!"
"Maybe I'll meet someone there better. You know that?"
I stop from walking and faced them. "Can you stop, guys? There's nothing better than luke. I know that he is the only one for me. So please, don't teach me how to cheat even though that we don 't have a label yet."
They looked at each other and slowly nodded at the same time while a little smile was placed on their lips. "You are ashamed of your wives. Tss!" I added before walking again.
I heard them whispering to each other but I can't understand. We went to our villa, and go to our room, and sleep well.
The next day, I can't see Luke everywhere, I look for him everywhere but even his shadow is not here, not there. So I went back to the Villa and picked up my phone that I had forgotten earlier.
My brows furrowed when I saw a text message from Luke. And it was so long. Seriously? He also sends this text message to me at the time of 2:45 am. "What the?"
From: Luke
Hey wife, I know you're asleep but I just wanted to tell you how much I love you. I don't let you know enough how much I appreciate you. But you mean everything to me. I'm sorry if I worry you or I make you upset sometimes. I never mean to do that. You are my one and only and I never want that to change. You are an amazing girlfriend and I know you'll be an even more amazing wife someday. I don't imagine my future without you. You make everything better. I love every single thing about you. I love the way you smile and make me smile, I love the way you walk, talk, and laugh, I love when you're being silly, and I especially love when you get tired and you act all cute. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. You have made everything about my life better, and I couldn't thank you enough. I actually don ' t deserve someone like you, I don't know how I got so lucky. And just know that I'm here to stay, I'm not gonna leave you again. You make me happier than I ever thought I could be. And if you let me, I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel the same way. I promise that I will love you more every single day of our life, and I will always take care of you, because I love you. I think that's enough reason to prove my love to you. I want to be with you for a very long time. I love you so much and I hope you always know that. I promise that I will love you more every single day of our life, and I will always take care of you, because I love you. I think that's enough reason to prove my love to you. I want to be with you for a very long time. I love you so much and I hope you always know that.

I want to be with you for a very long time. I love you so much and I hope you always know that.
I didn't realize that I was crying because of his long text message. I'm not crying because I'm sad, I'm crying because I feel sooooo special, it's tears of joy.
Why he sent me a text message like this? It seems like, he was proposing to me through text message. I wiped my cheeks because of the tears falling. I also took a deep breath and just smiled.
Then, butlers approach me and handed me things that were usually used in snorkeling. I slowly took it and looked at them. "What about this?" I asked.
"You need to dive ma'am. Go there," he pointed somewhere. "And make sure to look around."
I slowly nodded. "But, why do I have to dive?"
"Something is waiting for you, ma'am." He answered.
"Okay," I entered the villa and changed. Only now did I notice that my friends weren't there either. I can't see them. Where did they go?
I just took a deep breath before starting to sink into the water... Wow! I've done this a few times and every time I dive, I see a lot I haven't seen in person before. I was with butlers and they were carrying cameras. Maybe, to take a picture of me later.
And then, after looking around and swim everywhere, something caught my attention. I went there and I was surprised when I saw Allen and Clayton, holding something like a banner or something whatever.
I also saw Luke. He approached me and hugged me and he also kissed the top of my head. He held my hand and pulled me up with him. After a few minutes of being happy with him, swimming around, playing whatever, kissed me, get back on the deck, and sink again, taking pictures, he pulled me down again where Allen and Clayton are.
He motioned to the two and then they opened their handles so that I could see what was in that banner, which caused me to step back and water my eyes a little.
"Will you marry me, Blaire Ava Zamora?"
I don't know what should I feel right now. It was... It was just... I don't know. I'm speechless! Except I couldn't speak because we were under water, I also didn't know what to say.
I looked at luke and he was a little lower than me— as if on his knees, holding a small box. He opened it and it contained a ring. Very beautiful ring!
I smiled and then nodded which meant I agreed to marry her. He put the ring on me then came up to me and kissed me. It was a bit difficult because we were underwater. He pulled me up so we can breathe and I'm not even surprised when he kissed me again.
“You said, you did something important.” I told him. Now, I have cried all the time because of the great joy I feel.
He smiled at me. "This is something important I was referring to. My proposal for you! Thank you for saying 'yes."
I chuckled. "I didn't say that. I'm just nodded. I can't talk underwater. Duh!"
"Alright!" He laughed and then he wiped my tears "But you still agree with my proposal."
I smiled sweetly at him and nodded. "Of course! I love you and I also want to be with you for the rest of my life, Luke."
He just smiled and hugged me so tight. I was startled by a sudden scream, I looked somewhere and saw our friends, family, and acquaintances running towards us. Luke and I went up to the deck and they arrived just in time. I also noticed that they were also holding a banner with 'Congratulations!' printed on it.
My family and friends approached me and congratulated me because I was getting married to the person I love.
I didn't think that this would be the end of the two of us, from being childhood friends and now a couple getting married. My dream of having a happy life with Luke has come true.
I feel so ecstatic, that I can't even explain how I feel right now, the feeling that my personality and my life are complete and there is nothing missing in my life anymore. I'm so lucky.

    I'm in a relationship and today when I went to the mall to help my mom with shopping I just stood there like a technological zombie texting my significant other. I walked around with my head down most of the time and jut maneuvered out of people's way with my peripheral vision. I'm very loyal when it comes to a relationship. When I make promises I'll keep them, and I despise people who break their vows. I believe a person is only as good as their words, and if they commit actions
