We enjoyed ourselves in the beach, and finally when we got tired we went to a small sea food restaurant and ordered for lunch, the sea foods were amazing, and freshly cooked! We ate in great contentment and when we satisfied our stomachs from hungriness, we went strolling, taking pictures from everywhere.
At three o'clock we decided to go back in our room, we got exhausted and decided to take a nap, unfortunately for me I wasn't able to rest even just a little because as the sun is about to set, my heart is also about to explode. As the three of them were having their recreation, I was given some time to go to the location where I was to propose. It was a foot tall rock that offers you the sight of the oceanfront.
When I arrived at the place, I was glad to see the whole squad in complete attendance. The group was already setting up for the marquee. The table was already in its perfect launch, the table cloth was a pinkish color with flowery design. Two scroll back side chairs were positioned into the opposite side of the table. As I got close, I saw Percy putting in the artificial bougainvillea on the roof of the tent, when they saw me, they gathered around , and asked a lot of questions. I couldn't even register since my mind at that time was occupied by how tense I was.
I thanked them all for the support and help they give, and afterwards we continued preparing.
I helped Nico, unveil the red floor covering, which really reminds me of Anne Hathaway as she walked in the red carpet after being called to be one of the nominees in the Oscars awardees.
(Connection? Lacey looks like her, no kidding, except Lacey have hazel eyes) Zaggie was putting those candles around the place, it would be a candle lit dinner in a cliff. (Well, almost like a cliff)
Everyone was up to their get ups, and as I looked at them, I get more fidgety, but as they saw how uneasy I looked, they beamed at me, "Dude! It's going to be all right, later you'll receive the sweetest yes of your life" "Thank you guys" I started relaxing.
I already practiced my lines though I'm not sure if I could really say all of those.
At 5 pm, Justin called, telling me that Lacey was already looking for me, I told him that everything was perfect and that they could come already. After some minutes Justin texted me, that they're almost near, so that was our cue. I went inside the marquee, everyone hid, though I'm not certain where. But maybe the late afternoon helped the camouflage since it was almost dark.
As I waited, I saw three figures coming, and that's when my palpitating heart told me 'there's your love, lover boy!'
They told Lacey to go inside the tent and when she saw the whole thing, her eyes drifted to me, and she blinked twice like making sure it was really me. She was staring at me with those hazel eyes asking me 'what is it this time?'. I just smiled.
(Playing Endless love by Glee)
She was wearing a simple white dress, her hair was made like that of a loose wave pattern which is like the ocean waves. If Aphrodite does exist, I must say she's in front of me. As she walked in the carpet, everything seemed to be in slow motion.
As she was in my reach, I suddenly felt a sting in my eyes. I took her hand, and as the music ended, we smiled at each other like we're the happiest people alive. 'We have moments to share' and I would love to share it with her forever, my endless love.
(Playing.. It might be you by Stephen Bishop)
She was looking where that song was coming from, then the projector came to life and our captured moments were flashed in the big screen, she looked at me and then looked at the projector again, It was our happy times, where we spend each day with love for each other, I was alarmed when I saw her crying,
"Hey baby what's wrong? " . She jabbed me a little "You idiot, why do you always give me reasons to cry?" then she sniffed, I hugged her "I'm sorry baby, from this day, I promised to never make you cry, I will make you laugh and smile and laugh and smile, but never cry" she laughed, and it's just good to hear.
When the music ended I whistled, it was a cue for everyone, and then everybody came out, she looked at me, delighted "They're here too, just like in Tagaytay huh" I just smiled.
Then the song was played.
(Playing Marry me by Jason Derulo)
One by one the group went to Lacey to give her a white rose, they hugged her as they gave her the flower, then lastly, I took the step and gave her bouquet of tulips, It represents love, and as much as possible I wanted to show her how much Love I have for her. She was crying now and I took her in my arms, ironically I lost every tense I felt before, it was replaced by an extreme feeling I couldn't name. "May I have the honor to dance you Miss Lacey?" she chuckled and bow gently "yes".
After the dance came to end, I kneeled "Lacey Sandoval, I know that I've already said this before but let me tell you again, I Love You... and I won't get tired saying it, did you remember what you said to me 2 years ago in Baguio? "
"You will realize that person is the one if you could hear the birds singing, if your dark world would come to light, if everything will be in slow motion, and if the air would swiftly touch your face and make you smile, If that happens then with conviction you'll know she's the one"
"It's like I knew you before we even met, and when I saw you, I knew you were the one, we tend to see every day, but baby one day with you is not enough, I want to be with you, day and night, and I want to share my life with you forever but since there's no forever, I would be contented in growing old with you."
She laughed a little and she pulled me up. "I love you too Michael, even before we met, and Yes!, I will spend my whole life with you too"
