"Babe!" Aria happily cheered, entering the house and dropping her things on the floor as she ran towards me. I turned around to see her, a smile growing my face as well.

Aria plopped down on the seat beside me, attaching her lips quickly to mine before pulling away. I laughed, "Why're you so happy?" I questioned.

Aria shrugged, "A few reasons." She wrapped her arms around my neck as her eyes searched mine, "One, we're engaged. Two, I love with you whom I love very much. And three, I finished that wedding shoot. Which means.. more time with you, my love."

I smiled widely, "I love seeing you happy. Well, I just love being with you in general. I've missed you."

"I've missed you too." Aria chuckled. I pulled Aria into my chest and wrapped her in my arms. Jesus, I love her. Aria let out a light sigh as she cuddled closer to me.

"Do you want to go get dinner or something?" I asked, nonchalant. Aria pulled away, smiling up at me, "Fancy." She wiggled her brows.

"Let's go get ready."

"Remember on our first date when we got denied entrance. Ha! Look at us now!" I laughed, holding up my drink. Aria laughed, shaking her head at me, "Remember? How could I forget! You were so pissed!" She wildly laughed.

I rolled my eyes playfully, "Only cause I wanted it to be perfect. I mean, I had built up our first date in my head for weeks and I planned so far in advance. Just to be shot down by the waiter."

"I still had a good time and look, now we're engaged. So, it didn't really matter where we went." Aria shrugged. I chuckled, "I guess not, but you are just so perfect and that's what you deserve. A perfect life and a perfect first date."

"Our first date was perfect and everything I have now is perfect. I'm so unbelievably happy with you, Chris. When I was back in Italy, I never would've thought that I'd be this damn happy. Hell, when we first met, I didn't think we'd be engaged in a little over a year. But, like you said, here we are." Aria spoke sweetly. My cheeks turned pink. I smiled at her, a genuine smile.

I let out a content sigh, "I kinda just wanna marry you now."

Aria laughed, "I wanna marry you too, but I think our friends would be furious."

"You're right. Hell, you're always right." I exclaimed. Aria shook her head, "I'm not always right. But I was right when it came to you."
