Charlie nervously approached Vienna Grace's parents, his heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. The air was thick with anticipation as he stammered, "Mr. and Mrs. Grace, I... I would like to ask for your blessing to marry Vienna."

The Graces exchanged uncertain glances, their initial hesitation evident. Mrs. Grace spoke cautiously, "Charlie, you're both so young, just 17 and 18. Marriage is a significant step. Why now?"

Charlie took a deep breath, his eyes reflecting sincerity. "I understand it might seem sudden, but Vienna and I have a strong connection. We've supported each other through thick and thin, and our love has grown over time. I believe in us, and I want to build a future together."

Mr. Grace raised an eyebrow, "Charlie, marriage involves responsibilities and challenges. What makes you think you're ready for this commitment at such a young age?"

Charlie nodded, acknowledging the gravity of their concerns. "I've thought about this extensively. We're not rushing into it blindly. We've discussed our goals, dreams, and plans for the future. I'm committed to providing for Vienna emotionally and financially. We're both mature beyond our years and together, we can face whatever comes our way."

Mrs. Grace sighed, still uncertain. "Charlie, we care about Vienna deeply. We want what's best for her. What about your education, your career? Won't marriage hinder your individual growth?"

Charlie responded thoughtfully, "I respect those concerns, and I want you to know that education is a priority for both of us. We've talked about how to balance our personal goals with our commitment to each other. We see marriage as a partnership, a support system that enhances our growth rather than hindering it."

Vienna's father leaned forward, studying Charlie intently. "Have you considered the financial aspects? Supporting a family requires stability. Do you have a plan?"

Charlie nodded confidently. "Yes, sir. I've been making millions of dollars from acting and I have a part-time job, saving money for our future. I also have plans to pursue higher education and a career that will provide for us. I understand the importance of financial stability, and I'm determined to create a secure environment for Vienna."

There was a moment of silence as the Graces exchanged glances once again. Finally, Mrs. Grace spoke, "Charlie, you've given this a lot of thought. We appreciate your honesty and dedication. We want what's best for Vienna, and it seems you're genuinely committed to her happiness. We'll support your decision, but promise us you'll continue to prioritize each other's growth and well-being."

Charlie's face lit up with gratitude. "Thank you, Mrs. Grace. I promise to cherish Vienna and ensure that our journey together is filled with love, understanding, and continuous growth. What we have is genuine love. I love her for her person and her eyes and the way she smiles. Not just her body"

And with that, Charlie had not only sought permission to marry Vienna but also gained the respect and trust of her parents, setting the foundation for a future built on love and shared aspirations.

Charlie couldn't contain his excitement as he approached Vienna, a mischievous grin playing on his lips. "Vienna, I've got something incredible to share. In two days, we're flying to Bora Bora for a romantic getaway. We'll be back on Monday!"

Vienna's eyes widened with surprise, a mix of emotions flashing across her face. "Bora Bora? Charlie, that sounds amazing! But, wait, I have ballet this whole weekend, and I'm the White Swan in Swan Lake. How will my teachers feel about this?"

Charlie took her hands in his, looking into her eyes with reassurance. "Vienna, I've got that covered. Your ballet teachers are not only aware of our trip, but they've been in on the surprise since the beginning of this month. They understand the importance of taking a break and have given their blessings."

Vienna's initial concern shifted to curiosity. "They've known all this time? How did you manage that?"

Charlie chuckled, "Well, I might have enlisted the help of some of your friends and dropped subtle hints about the surprise. I wanted to make sure everyone was on board, especially your ballet instructors, so they could plan accordingly."

Vienna laughed, a mix of surprise and delight evident in her voice. "You've been scheming with my friends and teachers? I can't believe you pulled this off! But what about practice? I've been practicing so hard for Swan Lake."

Charlie nodded, understanding her dedication. "I know how important your performance is, and your teachers assured me they've adjusted the schedule so you can fully enjoy our trip without any worries. They believe a short break will rejuvenate you and enhance your performance when you return."

Vienna's eyes sparkled with gratitude. "Charlie, I can't believe you went through all this trouble for us. I feel so lucky. But Bora Bora? That's a dream destination! How did you even come up with this idea?"

Charlie grinned, revealing the meticulous planning behind the surprise. "I remembered you mentioning once how much you'd love to visit Bora Bora someday. I wanted to make our first trip together unforgettable, so I worked on making that dream a reality. We have a romantic villa booked, complete with breathtaking views and crystal-clear water. It's going to be a magical experience."

Vienna's heart swelled with joy. "I can't believe I get to share this experience with you. Thank you, Charlie, for being so thoughtful. I can't wait to dance under the stars in Bora Bora."

As the two shared excited whispers and laughter, Charlie couldn't help but marvel at the success of his surprise. The anticipation of their getaway added a new layer of excitement to Vienna's upcoming ballet performance, making it a weekend filled with both artistic accomplishment and romantic memories. In just two days, they would embark on an adventure that would strengthen their bond and create cherished moments to last a lifetime.
