"Isaac, if I asked you to marry me, what would you say?"
Isaac put down the magazine he was reading and looked over at Destiny, lovingly. "Yay, Feminism!"
Destiny smiled and joined him on the couch. "Seriously."
He tenderly wrapped his strong arms around her delicate shoulders. "It would be an honor to marry you."
Destiny stared up at him with shining eyes. "So, what you're saying in your signature charming way," He smiled and pulled her closer. "Is that if I asked you to marry me, you would?"
He placed a soft kiss to her forehead. "I would be an idiot to not marry you."
Destiny smiled up at him. "What did I do to deserve you?"
"Ohhh..." He pulled her over so she was in his lap. Their arms were wrapped loosely around each other. "You know, I ask myself that same question everyday. Every morning when I wake up beside you, holding you... it just makes me really thankful to have you in my life."
Destiny wrapped her arms around his neck, tightly. "I love you."
Isaac, in turn, wrapped his arms around her tightly and stroked her back. "I love you too, baby." .
..Two Weeks Later...
Isaac woke up to the loud rain slamming against their bedroom window. After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he looked to his left. There, he saw the most amazing sight his human eyes has ever allowed him to see. The most beautiful girl in the world had her long, slender, naked arm thrown carelessly over his chest. Her head was tucked neatly into his neck and her soft breathing tickled him ever so slightly.
He gently picked up her soft hand and brought it to his lips. He looked down at her to make sure she was still sleeping. He smiled, remembering the last time she had caught him doing this. He couldn't help it. Every time he was near her, he just needed to touch her, hold her, kiss her, anything to show how much he loved her.
Bringing her hand to his lips, he tenderly kissed it. He brought her hand back down and turned slightly so he could face her. Pushing the hair out of her eyes, he slowly bent down and kissed her forehead, between her eyes, the tip of her nose and finally full on her lips.
She stirred in her sleep and her eyes fluttered open. She yawned and threw her arm around him, lightly rubbing his strong, naked back. "You were doing it again." She whispered.
He smiled and propped himself up on his elbow. He scooped his other hand behind her back and pulled her over. "I'm sorry."
She slowly crawled on top of him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Don't be sorry. I like it." She gently ran her lips over his chest and neck.
"Oh, you do?" He ran his hands up and down her back.
"Mmm-hmm..." She continued kissing him and lightly licking his soft skin. "I think it's sweet."
With a bright smile, he leaned up and licked her shoulder. "Well, I think you're sweet."
She stretched out on top of him and re-wrapped her arms around his neck. "You know, last night was wonderful. Thank you."
"It was pretty special, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, beautiful."
"Perfect," they chimed together.
They looked at each other and smiled. Then, they shared a passionate kiss.
Destiny tucked her head under his neck again. "It's still hard for me to believe."
"What is?" He rubbed his hands over her back, neck and head.
"That out of all the millions of girls in the world that you could have, you chose me. That just... amazes me."
"True, there are over a million girls in this world but you're the only one for me. Always and forever."
Destiny's whole body tingled. The way it always did when he says such beautiful and sweet things to her. Only one man on this planet could make her feel this way. This special. This unique. This beautiful. And that was the man that she was hopelessly in love with. Isaac.
"You know what?"
"What?" He stared deeply into her eyes.
"Every time I look into your eyes, kiss you, touch you, hear you say such beautiful things, I...I" she starts to choke up with emotion. "I fall in love with you all over again." Her emotions overtook her and Isaac cradled her in his arms, running his hands through her long, soft hair.
He thought back to the previous night. Everything was so perfect. The whole family was there and a few close friends. Isaac had a huge *surprise* planned out. Around 8:30, he arose from his chair and asked for everyone's attention. He had said a few words, expressing his gratitude towards his family, friends and of course, Destiny, to whom he identified as "my angel, my better half, my soul mate, my life and my love."
He then brought her to stand with him. Pulling a small, black velvet box from his pocket, he went down on bended knee. He confessed his undying love and devotion and asked for her to be his "angel, better half, soul mate, life and love" for the rest of their lives and beyond. Destiny, her heart swelled with more emotions than could be described, nodded her head with enthusiasm and flew into his ever-ready open arms.
Isaac smiled, remembering. He couldn't believe he was holding his soon to be wife in his arms. Life was too perfect for him.
Destiny soon fell back asleep. Her last thoughts were filled with Isaac's strong and comforting embrace and the stroking on her back. Everything was perfect.
