Forever

Engaged To My Best Friend

Me and Nathan got engaged nearly 2 month a ago. It's almost our 6 month anniversary. We are still going strong and I couldn't be happier.

At the moment Nathan is laying in bed and I'm sorting out his surprise. I carefully carry his surprise and enter the bedroom.

"Happy birthday to youuuu!" I soonish the classical happy birthday song before holding his cake so he can blow out the candles.

"What's all this for?" Asks Nathan.

"You're birthday of course! And there's one more surprise. I have already packed your stuff, so you need to get dressed as if you were going to an exotic island." I say as I give Nathan a peck on the lips. He kisses me back.

We both get dressed and then get into my car. I force Nathan to wear a blindfold, whilst I drive to the secret location.

"Harper, can you just tell me where we are going?" Says Nathan

"Nope. I'll give you a clue. You dressed as if you are going to an exotic island." I say as I chuckle.

"Probably a beach or somewhere." Nathan sighs and folds his arms. We arrive and I have no choice but to take the blindfold off.

"Why are we at the airport?" Asks Nathan as I park the car.

"You'll see." I say as I get our stuff out.

We go into the airport and do what we need to do. We then go to our allocated gate and play the waiting game.

"Flight 2094 to Hawaii is now boarding. I repeat flight 2094 to Hawaii is now boarding." Says the woman on the speaker.

"Thats us." I say as I stand up.

"We're going to Hawaii?" Exclaims Nathan.

"Yes we are. I remember when we were kids and you'd always say that we'd go to hawaii for one of our birthdays and now it's for real." I say as I take Nathan's hand and we walk onto the plane.

We take our seats and soon enough, we are thousands of feet in the air. I'm watching a movie on my laptop, when Nathan starts to tap my shoulder.

"Would you mind moving? I need to pee." Says Nathan.

I get out of my seat and Let Nathan go to the toilet. He seems to be taking forever. I start to get impatient when and air stuerdass takes Nathan to the front of the plane, I don't get enough time to say anything.

"Ladies and Gentlaman. We are sorry to interrupt your relaxation, but we have a very special message from Nathan Montgomery." Says the woman through the speaker.

"Hi. My name is Nathan Montgomery and I am 26 years old today. I boarded this plane with my best friend and fiancé. But she didn't get the proper proposal that every girl dreams of.".

I look up from seat. Where is Nathan and what is he doing?

"My fiancé, Harper, planned this holiday for me and its so lucky I just happened to have a present of her own in my pocket." Says Nathan.

I get out my seat and then everyone stares at me. I stay where I'm standing and I stare at the front. I can now see Nathan and he's holding something.

"Harper. I want to do things properly because I'm only getting married one time in my life and I'm going to share his moment with you. So, Harper, will you marry me?" Asks Nathan. He walks towards to me and gets down in one knee.

"Yes." I nod and then kiss him. He slides the most beautiful ring on my forth finger that I have ever seen.

The other people on the plane start to clap and some even cheer. We walk back to our seats and soon have lots of people congratulations.

Our flight ends hours later and we make our way to the hotel. When we arrive, I can't stops smiling at Nathan. I stare at u ring a few time. By the time we have got to our room, I'm crying again.

"What's wrong?" Asks Nathan's as he embraces me in a hug.

"Nothing. I'm just so happy. I know we've always been best friends, but since the whole Gabriella situatio, I never thought we would get this far. I love you Nathan and I'm so lucky to have you in my life." I say as I look into his eyes.

"You want to take a romantic stroll on the beach?" Asks Nathan.

"I'd love to, but I'm starving." I say as I break the hug and start to have a quick shower.

After my shower, I dry my hair and do my make-up. I am wearing a simple black dress with black heels. Nathan is wearing a flannel shirt and some jeans with some armaani shoes.

"You look... wow." Says Nathan as I emerge from the bathroom.

"You look so good in a flannel shirt, you know that?" I say as I slip on my heels. We walk out our room, hand in hand and then go to a restaurant that was advertised in a leaflet.

Who ever thought that I'd be this happy in life. After my mum, after my dad, after Gabriella, after everything! Nathan is the one good thing in my life and I can't wait to call him my husband.

"This is fancy, looks very expensive." I say as we enter and Italian restaurant called Romario's.

We wait for a table and I start to become impatient. I start to huff and puff, but eventually we are given menus for food and drink.

"Harper. Are you ok?" Asks Nathan.

"I'm fine. I'm just tired. You know. Jet lagged." I say as I force a reasurring smile.

We order our food and begin to eat. I keep glancing at my ring and keep thinking that this is all a dream and when I wake up, I'm going to be 15 years old again in my bed in Manchester. No.
