A Second Chance

Questions and Answers (Part Two)

Tom's eyes met mine and he finally spoke.

"Before I met you, I never realised how empty my life was. Sure I had my loving family and friends, I had my dream job and the fame that came with it. But I didn't have someone special that I could call my own. And then I met you. When I walked into the pub that night I expected it to be another quiet night spent on my own. But suddenly I saw this beautiful girl alone at the bar wearing a gorgeous blue dress with her chocolatey, brown hair tied up into a messy but beautiful ponytail. And she took my breath away. I knew you were the one for me when we went and had lunch together the day after we met. I fell in love with your laugh, your eyes , your smile and your amazing personality. I admired how well you had overcome your past and tried your hardest to move on with your life. And now, six wonderful months later, here you are standing in front of me. With the same gorgeous smile on your face and remarkable blue eyes staring up looking into mine. I would do absolutely anything to keep you by my side Piper. If I had to choose between loving you, and breathing. I would use my last breath to tell you that I love you with all my heart. I don't know what my life would be without you in it." My breath hitched in my throat and a tear rolled down my cheek (they were happy tears before you ask) as I took in all of Tom's beautiful words. He stopped when he saw me crying and lifted his hands to my cheeks, brushing my tears away with his thumbs. I looked up into his eyes, they were much more blue than usual, I didn't think they could get any more beautiful but I was very wrong indeed.

"I know we haven't been together very long, but deep down in my heart, I know that what I'm about to do is so right, because you Piper... are my whole world." Suddenly he pulled a small black box out of his pocket and sunk down onto one knee. One of my hands shot to cover my mouth as I gasped at the realisation of what he was doing. My other hand rose to my chest gripping onto the heart shaped topaz necklace he'd given me before he left for The Avengers. I could feel my heart racing against my chest, suddenly it felt as though I couldn't breath. Tom's eyes flicked up to meet mine, a gentle smile forming on his lips.

"Piper Elizabeth Watson.... Will you marry me?"

I tried opening my mouth to answer, but I couldn't. I had been blown away so much by what Tom had said and done that I was completely speechless. Tom had started to fidget on his knee but refused to stand up until he got an answer. He smiled at my shocked expression and took hold of my now very shaky hand, squeezing it and kissing the back. Just this tiny action, brought me back to reality and I realised I still hadn't answered his question. I knelt down onto my knees, joining him on the stones beneath our feet and held his face in my hands, joining my lips with his passionately.

"So is that a yes?" Tom mumbled between kisses. I finally broke the kiss with a giggle, letting go of his face and standing back up, pulling him with me. I smiled up at him and finally managed to speak.

"Of course it's a yes Tom! From the moment I layed my eyes on you, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Yes, I will marry you!!" Tom widened his eyes and pulled the ring out of the box, sliding it onto my finger. It fit perfectly.

I leapt into his arms, my arms wrapped around his neck. Tom's were tucked underneath my legs and my back as he cradled me against him. For a couple of seconds we stared into each others eyes just smiling. Tom brought his lips onto mine, still holding me against his body.

When we finally broke the kiss, it seemed as though hours had passed while we had stayed in that one place on the beach. Tom let go of my legs and I slid slowly down his body, my eyes still trapped within his gaze. An old couple walked past us, it seemed as though they'd seen the whole proposal, because they congratulated us as they passed by hand in hand. We thanked them and Tom pulled me close to him by my waist. He planted a soft kiss onto the top of my head and bent down so that his mouth was next to my ear.

"That'll be us two in about forty years" He chuckled into my ear. I laughed back and kissed his cheek.

"Will you still love me when I'm old and wrinkly?" I asked playfully and took his hand intertwining my fingers with his.

"Of course I'll still love you darling. I will always love you. I've loved you since we kissed for the first time and I don't plan on ever stopping. You are my life now" He smiled down at me before kissing my cheek lightly.

"Just like I'll never get tired of kissing you" he breathed into the warm skin on my cheek making me giggle. I pinched his sides playfully and started pulling him back up the beach towards the car.

"Come on Hiddleston. Let's go home, where you can kiss me as much as you like"
