Fireworks

Shock was definitely an understatement. Su Kai didn't even give her any warning or heads up before he popped the question. She was blind sided with his action tonight, how, what, when, where and why's were all popping up inside of Liu Wei's head and warring with each other to become the first thing to be noticed and answered.

How is he doing this with a straight face?

What in the world is he thinking?

When was this even put on his radar? Aren't we just having fun?

Where was I when he came to this fundamentally earthshaking decision?

Why is this happening to me? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Questions and more questions kept coming and she still had no answers for them.

Liu Wei stood there in in utter surprise and she wasn't able to speak for a minute or two.

"My knee is starting to hurt, are you going to just stare at me with that cute look on your face? or will you say yes because that's the only answer I want to hear."

Liu Wei looked at him with a bewildered expression. What she really wanted to say but didn't was: "Don't you think that you need to give me ample time to register this monumental question?!" This is a really big deal! Because she wasn't thinking that far ahead. Yeah, she felt all kinds of amazing with Su Kai but she also thought that they were just enjoying each other. So yeah she needed time to process this.

When she finally came to, she asked him, "Why me?"

"Why not you?" Well damn!! Liu Wei was hit with that question right away and she was blown away. Well damn, why not me? she thought as well. But no she needed to put reason out there, there needs to be a resonable answer...

"Well for one, we've only known each other for such a short amount of time. What if in the future you realize that this was an impulsive action on your part and decide to leave me? or what if you resent me in the future?" Liu Wei said.

"Do you want to know why you are the one? You are the one for me because, I know myself, and when I look at you and think about a future without you, it hurts. When I think about another man being with you, it also hurts. You are so special and I know this deep in my bones, You are all I think about day and night and that says alot because not that much aside from work can keep me interested for longer than 5 minutes. You complete me, without you I'm an empty shell. Before you, my life was exactly that. It was empty and colorless but as soon as you walked into my life I had so much to look forward to. Days were brighter and nights were amazing. It was all because of you! These past few months have been wonderful, I feel that you saved me from the monotony that was my daily life. You have changed me for the better! You are an aphordisiac that I can't let go. So yeah, I don't think I can live in this world without you in it, and I definitely don't want anyone else as my wife if it's not you."

Well that was a mouthful of sweetness, who would say no to that?

She knows that he's serious when he speaks more than a few words and this time it was at least a paragraph worth. This man is a man made of few words and when he speaks it's usually brief and straight to the point. He must have already come prepared for her questions and objections.

Liu Wei still found herself hesitating... after all, she was married before in her previous life and she thought that they had a mutual love and understanding but she ended up with nothing but heartache and pain. She wouldn't exactly say that Su Kai was someone who would hurt her and he definitely wouldn't use her just to get ahead. He alone is worth billions of dollars, her little net worth wouldn't provide a dent in the grand scheme of things.

"But... would you love me even if I'm old and wrinkly? or if I'm different?"

She almost forgot that she didn't even know her real origin. What if she had to leave this planet and they would be separated? What if she puts him in danger? Could she live with herself if he got hurt because of her?

"Even if you were blue and had tentacles, i would still love you." Of course Su Kai knew that she had doubts, he wanted to make sure that she was reassured. Even if she said no today, he would ask again until she said yes. He was a very driven person and if he wanted something, he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

"All your objections will be resolved, so come at me. But I am warning you, I always get what I want. And what I want is for you to be my wife." He made his stance known and was waiting patiently for her answer.

"...ummm I guess in that case, yes! to hell with everything, I will live for today and the present. So yes, I love you and yes I will marry you!" she said these in between tears of joy and sobs.

He finally gets up and puts a massive pink heart shaped diamond ring on her finger. Damn! it was so beautiful it sparkled brilliantly in the dim light.

"Wow what a beautiful ring! How did you know I like pink?"

"Obviously because your future husband is smart"

"Touche" Liu Wei said while laughing at his ridiculous answer.

Just then hundreds of fireworks started going off in the night sky. One firework had hearts and their names entertwined before it faded into the night sky. What a beautiful sight! When Liu Wei turned to look at Su Kai he had a boquet of red roses in his hands. Where did that come from? She looked around and found the culprits, there were people in the background smiling like fools watching them. I guess he put everything into this and didn't spare any details.

Not far from where they were standing a small love seat was arranged and flower petals were strewn all over the ground. He led her to it and they sat down to continue to watch the night sky come alive with the dazzling display of fireworks. These were all for her and she was beyond happy and emotional to have such a grand proposal. Nothing could top this night and the way she felt, sitting with the love of her life in the most romantic places in the world with flowers and fireworks everywhere.
