Omer took my hand and guided me outside. All the way towards his car my heart is beating erratically and I still can’t believe that I am going on a date with Omer.
Finally! It’s our first official date.
It’s not like we went before but still I am all giddy and excited.
Most of my life has been one heck of a crazy and chaos and for the first time after so long I feel normal.
” Where are we going?” I asked, not able to contain my excitement.
” It’s a surprise, Rose!” He chuckled at me and helped me inside the car.
My breath hitched at the nickname he gave me and always called me. We never get the time to talk about anything but now I have all the time I want in my hands and I’m sure I will get to experience everything.
” Rose! Why do you call me that?” I asked, when he entered the car.
With his beautiful chocolate eyes he smiled and took my hand in his warm hand giving me butterflies.
” I don’t know why I call you that but I love calling you Rose. Maybe you are as beautiful as Rose! Or smells like Rose!” My cheeks reddened at his words and I can feel the butterflies swarming happily in my tummy.
” Look! This is another reason for me to call you Rose.” He touched my cheek, making me gasp in surprise and also I could feel his touch throughout my body. He teases me now with his words and with the way his eyes are roaming my face.
” What do you mean?” i asked, trying hard to not embarrass myself in front of him.
” Your cheeks, they became red.” He pinched my cheek playfully. I swatted his hand off of my cheek and turned my face towards the window feeling shy all of a sudden.
I feel like a teenager blushing on every single word her crush is saying. I need to stop making a fool out of myself.
” Rose! Don’t hide from me, Ever.” Omer turned me towards him and urged me to straddle him. This is the first time we’ve ever been this intimate and I’m feeling like I am on cloud nine.
I unbuckled my seat belt and straddled him. He is a big guy so my legs are on his thighs and I squirmed to not crush him with my weight.
” Stop the thoughts which are starting in your head. You are not heavy, Rose. You are beautiful.” His words warmed my insides and I stopped squirming and sat on him properly, my hands on his broad shoulders.
” Thank you, Omer. Thank you for everything. I didn’t know what I would have done if you were not in my life.” He saved me too many times and always made sure that I knew that i am beautiful and perfect.
” Don’t thank me, Baby! Thank you for coming into my life. My life never had any purpose but with you I have a purpose to look forward to the future.” tears brimmed in my eyes but his warm smile made me forget everything but him.
” Come let’s get out. I have a surprise for you.” He helped me to get down from him and we both stepped out of the car.
We are near the woods and the greenery surrounding the woods is breathtaking.
” Wow! It’s so beautiful.” I exclaimed, a big grin overtaking my face and like a child I started running deep in the woods.
” Wait for me, Scar.” Omer’s voice followed me through the way and i freezed at the clearing and my eyes widened at the scene in front of me.
” Oh My god! Omer! Look at this, It’s so beautiful.” if i am in a Disney movie then my eyes would have shown hearts in them. I’m loving every single second of today.
There are dozens of red rose plants covering the place and the scent of the roses wafting through them is mouthwatering.
Omer is behind me and I can hear his chuckle at my childishness and awe at the scenery in front of me. I have never seen this much beautiful sight ever and I just can’t seem to rip my eyes away from them.
” Rose!” Omer’s voice sounded hesitant and worried, what is making him hesitant!
Is he going to tell me that whatever was going on between us is over! Did he already get fed up with me! I don’t want him to say all these things which are swirling in my head and the demons which I thought vanished banging in my head.
I took a deep breath and started reminding myself that what I saw in Omer’s eyes is what I reflect in my eyes and I don’t need to give those demons the power to occupy me and ruin everything for me again.
Shaking my head, I turned around slowly with my eyes closed and repeating the mantra that I am bigger than my demons and they can’t consume me. I know it takes time to be completely normal again but I want to suppress those bad memories.
My body stood still and my eyes were still closed. I don’t dare to open my eyes and see something which will hurt me but I need to step into my big girl panties and face everything.
My eyelids slowly opened and they moved down to where the big warm giant is on his one knee with a box in his hands and a big happy grin plastered on his face.
A gasp lodged in my throat and tears welled up in my eyes. I am not able to get any words through my mouth and my heart is beating like crazy.
” W…what is this?” I choked the words out and the tears were streaming down my face. I never imagined that someone would be on their knees for me. I never imagined this day from all those years ago.
I thought no one is capable of loving my ugly self but here he is the most beautiful and kind human being asking me to be his wife!
What did I do to deserve this! Deserve him!
” Scarlet Rose Williams, will you do the honor of being my wife and building a life with me?” He asked, worry and nervousness clearly evident in his features.
” How can I say no to you, Omer! You were always there for me and always reminded me that I’m beautiful and perfect.” My body is shaking with my sobs and I’m choking on my words.
Omer’s eyes are glistening with unshed tears.
” Yes, I will Marry you Omer.” I whispered, every emotion consumed me and I don’t know if it is real or not but the heat from Omer’s eyes, the scent of roses wafting around us and the love shining in his eyes made me believe that it is real and not my dream.
I forwarded my hand and he took my hand in his big one and slid the beautiful diamond ring on to my finger. The sparkling of the diamond surely resembles a twinkle in my eyes.
He stood up from the ground and his lips were instantly on mine, tasting me, owning me and showing me how much he loves me.
We don’t need those words to show how much we love each other. Actions and gestures are enough to show our love for eachother.
” I can’t wait to see you in a wedding gown walking towards me.” He grumbled, taking my lips once again with his and erasing everything around me.
I can’t wait to wear a wedding gown either and walk down the aisle. My arms tightened around him and I bask in Omer’s scent and warmth.
