Song: I get to love you by Ruelle

When we arrived close to the island we took a smaller boat the rest of the way inland. There was an amazing beach house with oodles of windows and outside he had already had everything prepared. Now I am really starting to feel bad. He had all this planned out for us and now my dad is taking full advantage of it and I don't blame him, at least someone is using it. There are only a few chairs, with lavender roses lined the pathway leading to an arch that has massive deep purple roses covering it; my favorite color by the way. There is no telling where or how much he had to pay for them. Everything looks right out of one of those wedding magazines, the perfect getaway wedding.

It takes my breath away, so much that I'm crying again. On the main deck of the house he has a tent set up so that everyone can gather afterwards and eat, dance, you know all the after party stuff. ReAnn is flipping out over all the décor making a big deal about it. I don't know how to react. I mean shit, this amazing guy went all out for me, like all out.

I am so lost for words that I turn and walk back to the shoreline. He runs up beside me, grabbing my hand. "Ana I'm sorry. I should have talked to you about all of this. I just wanted it to be really special and all for you."

I can't look at him. I can't do this. What the hell? What was I thinking? I said no, didn't I. I'm not ready for this, to be married, to be a wife. My mind is over thinking everything and everything just feels so damn complicated all twisted up in my little head.

But he loves me; he would go to the extreme to make me happy. Hell he would probably even die for me and I said no, did I really mean to say no. The freaking tears, the damn tears why can't you stay away. Why do you have to come to me and ruin everything, you show my feelings. Can't you just go away?

They are still streaming down my face when he steps in front of me. I don't want to look up at him however when his hands reach up and grasp my chin to make me look up at him, I do for a split second and then try to turn closing my eyes back. I don't want him seeing me this upset.

"Katana my love, tell me what it is? What can I do? Do you want me to have them take everything down? I will. Hell no one has to get married today. We can save it for when you are ready. Ana please don't cry." He leans in to kiss my salty lips. Then pulls me into his chest.

I try so hard to hold back the tears but now I am really crying. "I'm....I'm... sorry. I didn't know you did this. I...I feel so bad. God you must think I'm horrible."

"That's not possible, baby don't feel bad. Hell at least your dad and Marcie can use it or I will get rid of all of it and no one has to use it. I just want you to be happy."

"I know. You are always thinking of me. Hell you even got my favorite color." I glance up at him with a smirk.

He smiles back at me, while taking his hand and wiping a few of the tears from my cheek. "What do you want? Tell me and that is what we will do?"

I start walking along the shore and he takes my hand into his. "What if I'm not wife material. What if I can't fill the void you need in your life, hell what if you want children and I'm not ready for that because I don't remember what it was even like to have a mother. I don't know if I can be what you want me to be."

"Hey...hey...I just want to be with you. I'm not saying I will be the perfect Husband but I will try damn hard to be. And being a dad, wait you do or don't want kids?"

"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. I mean maybe one day but not any time soon. Do you?" I look over at him to catch his reaction.

"Maybe one day, at the moment I just want to spend every second of my day with you."

"I don't have a dress anyway?" I barely get out in a whisper at him as I am watching my feet kick up the sand between my toes.

"Actually...you have several to choose from inside the house."

"Oh...my god...you really have it all planned out and I said no," I gasp.

"It's alright, we can..."

I cut him off. I turn and stand in front of him. I breathe in and then breathe out. My mouth moves as if words are coming out, but there is no voice behind the movement. Somewhere underneath all my fears the words come out. "Is it too late to say...yes?"

He picks me up and twirls me around in his arms. "Are you saying yes, like now! Today."

"Yes...if you will have me."

"Hell yeah!" His hand finds the back of my neck and he pulls me in for a deeper kiss. When he puts me back down on my feet we are both smiling and tears are now in his eyes as well.

As we are walking back to the beach house, I stop and look up at him. "What is babe?"

"My dad, shit he already has his hopes into marrying Marcie. What are we going to do? I can't tell him that he can't marry her now."

"Let me handle all of it alright, no worries."

When we get back I go on into the house. I find the master bedroom and holy shit this place is just breathtaking. There is a rack on the far side holding at least five or more dresses, all in my size. They are all different designs and it is so hard to choose just one. I step back out and look for ReAnn.

"Hey...can you come in here for a second."

She looks up from her drink. She was lying in the oversized chair with Gabe. "Sure...what are you doing anyway?" When she follows me into the bedroom she sees the dresses. "Holy shit! Are you doing this? You are going through with it."

I nod. "I need help trying them on and your honest opinion."

"My honest opinion Ana, just a few hours ago you were so against getting married and now...now you want to. What the hell changed your mind?"

"I don't know. I guess seeing how this place is and shit he went all out Re, he freaking loves me...doesn't he?"

"If you want to call it that, honey he would walk across fire for you. Hell he is madly in love with you."

"And he will be good for me right? He is the one; I just need to hear it Re. Shit am I making a mistake?"

"If you don't marry him you might be; here try this one on first." She hands me one that looks like a fairy princess.

I get undressed and try it on, it's alright but I just don't know. We try on the rest of the dresses and I end up choosing the simples dress that was made for a beach wedding. It's almost all sheer and it looks more like back in the sixties, you know one of those Woodstock type of dresses, it's sweet...simple.

There is a light knock at the door and ReAnn walks over to see who it is. My dad's eyes meet mine and I see them glisten. "Guess I will let you two talk; see you in a few." ReAnn says as she walks back over to give a quick hug and then walk back out.

"Dad I'm sorry."

"For what? Honey, this is a very special day for you. I just want you to be happy. So saying that, are you really happy? Is this what you really want?"

I nod. "I think so; It's just so overwhelming you know. I mean shit, do you think it's too fast. I'm I doing the right thing?"

He places both of his hands on the sides of my arms and gives me a light squeeze. "Do you love him?"

I nod again.

"You are going to be ok kiddo. That man out there loves you. And if you are in love with him as much as he is in love with you then everything from here on out is going to be grand."

"What about you daddy? You had your hopes on getting married and..."

"Hey...this is your special day. Besides, hell I don't have a tux...she doesn't have a dress and no offence or anything but we both can't do purple." He laughs and I start to giggle right along with him. "Now are you ready to go see your future husband."

I take a deep breath...
