Always at 5:55 | Jackson FF

Epilogue

I waited for Sadie at the gate.

She was about to come back from a university abroad.

And today was the day I proposed.

Her flight already landed, everybody was pouring out.

Until I saw her again.

Everything seemed to stop, as I waved my hands (too extra) in the air.

She waved back, running faster with her small suitcase.

I opened my arms as her smaller figure crashed into me. 

We kissed immediately.

"I missed you."

She mumbled on my lips.

"Me too..."

"Come, I have something to show you quickly." 

I checked the time.

5:04.

It took 30 minutes to get to the station.

"What are we doing in the park?" 

She laughed, our hands still tight in each others grasp.

"Surprise." 

She rolled her eyes, going on her toes again to kiss my cheek.

I blushed.

"Follow me."

I walked with Sadie, my hand tightening around hers as I brought her to the bus station.

"Now where are we going?" 

She laughed again, her laugh was exactly like music to me.

"Here." 

I stopped in front of the station.

5:52

"Aw, you still remember?"

She asked, holding both my hands.

"Yes, and I need to ask you something."

"Tell me."

"We've been dating for almost 4 years now, and this was the first place we met."

"Uh-huh."

"And we both still have the umbrella that I gave to you at 5:55."

She nodded.

5:53.

"And you are the prettiest girl I have ever met in my entire life. You're everything to me."

"Yeah, what's your point?"

I leaned in.

Kissing her.

5:54.

"I've been waiting to ask you this for a year, but you were across the world."

I bent down on one knee, she raised an eyebrow before her eyes grew wide.

"No..."

She started to smile.

"Will you, Sadie (L/N). Make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife?"

I got out the box, glancing at my watch before opening it.

5:55.

"Y-yes..."

I smiled, showing her the time.

She started blushing incredibly hard.

"I love you."

I took the ring out of the box, slipping it on her finger.

"I love you too."
