CHAPTER 55
SETH POV:
My heart was pounding as I heard movement coming towards the door!
Even after her father recognised me and kindly giving me his daughters home address, telling me just how happy she would be to see me, as I stood here now, my whole body was turning to jelly as I waited for her to open the door...
''Courtney, it's like 8:00 in the mor-'' she just stood and stared at me as if I were a mirage or something, he beautiful brown eyes wide with shock as the morning sun danced across her face.
''Hello Taylor'' I smiled, gracing my eyes over her beauty once more. I could see she was wearing my merch shirt, and was still wearing the bracelet I had bought her too, and it made feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
I took a step closer to embrace her, but she stepped back slightly as if still in shock somehow.
''Babe it's me...'' I said nervously ''I...I missed you''
She still hadn't said anything yet, but it only took a few seconds for me to see what her mind was thinking as her eyes filled with tears and she smiled that big beautiful smile at me...
''Seth?'' she whispered softly, as if still not believing what her eyes were showing her.
''It's me babe...it's me'' I smiled, immediately swooping her up in my arms and kissing her softly ''...don't cry okay, were not going to lose each other again, I promise'' I smiled, wiping the tear that had fallen down her cheek with my hand ''I love you Taylor, with all my heart'' I whispered to her.
''I love you too Seth'' she cried softly in my arms ''Wait...h-how did you find me?''
''Dont worry about that now babe, all that matters is that we're together'' I smiled.
She leaned her head into my chest, and I breathed a happy sigh as I comforted her in my arms.
''Taylor I...I haven't stopped thinking about you since I dropped you off that day. Your my everything babe, that's why I came back to find you''
''But...what about Leighla?''
''Leighla and I are done. I tried to tell you what was going on, but you had your phone off all week''
''I'm sorry Seth'' she said, hanging my head in shame.
''No Taylor'' I said, cutting her off slightly ''...I'm the one whose sorry about what Leighla did, I assume you know about what happened?''
She nodded.
''Well that shouldn't have happened, and I take full blame for you being violated like that...because if it wasn't fo-''
''It's okay Seth'' she whispered softly ''I deserved it...I think we both did. But, it's over now.'' she smiled ''and as for me not turning on my cell, well I just didn't want to allow myself to get hurt anymore, because losing you was the worst thing that's ever happened to me'' she cried.
''Well you don't have to worry about that anymore babe, because I'm not going anywhere'' I smiled, kissing her soft lips again.
TAYLOR POV:
Seth very gently took my face in his hands, and smiled down at me ''I don't need to wait another two years to find out if you're the one Taylor...I've known it from the moment we met. You're so special to me, more than you even realise. And I already know you will make me happy for the rest of our lives, because I love you Taylor...I'm in love with you''
He pulled me close, and kissed my lips again very softly and lovingly ''when I thought I'd lost you Taylor, part of me died inside. I don't ever want to feel that way again, because losing you would be the biggest heartache I could ever face.''
I watched as Seth released me from his embrace and slowly got down on one knee...
''OH MY GOD!!'' I cried, my hands flying up to my face in shock!
''So, Taylor Anderson, my beautiful and amazing Queenslayer...'' he smiled, producing a small black velvet box from his back pocket as he took a deep breath and looked up at me ''will...you...marry me?''
GASP!!!
My heart was pounding, my head was spinning, and my entire body had turned numb with shock! Had I heard him correctly? Did Seth Rollins just ask me to marry him? I couldn't believe it!!
''But...Seth, I'm...I'm still in college, I stuttered.
''Then you should be educated enough to know that you don't need to worry about a thing babe, because I'll look after you. And I swear to you Taylor...from this day forward, that I will love with all my heart, and share the rest of my life with you'' he smiled.
''OH SETH!'' I cried, wiping my happy tears.
''So Taylor ...will you marry me?'' he asked again hopefully.
I looked down into Seth's soft brown eyes as he knelt looking up at me, and he looked so sweet as he waited nervously for my answer to his proposal...
SETH POV:
My heart was racing in anticipation as I knelt waiting nervously for her answer to my proposal...and when I saw that beautiful smile creep across her face, I knew everything in my life was going to be exactly as I hoped it would...perfect.
''YES!'' she smiled, with tears of joy instantly filling her beautiful brown eyes, as she threw her arms round me and kissed me hard ''yes Seth, yes I'll marry you!'' she cried happily.
''Oh Taylor!'' I cried back, standing up and giving her the biggest hug and kiss ever! I quickly took the specially handcrafted diamond ring out from its box that I had brought from Tiffany's on the drive down, and started to place it on her finger...
TAYLOR POV:
''Oh no!'' he said, yanking it off all of a sudden. I looked up at him confused, and he smiled and kissed my lips again ''sorry gorgeous I didn't mean to startle you, its just that I wanna do this right'' he said ''I want to ask your parents' permission first for your hand in marriage'' he smiled sweetly.
''Oh my Seth, that's so old fashioned...'' I giggled, then looked up at him with pure love in my eyes ''and yet still one of the most romantic things I've ever heard'' I smiled, leaning up to kiss him.
I took Seth into the house with me, feeling nervous butterflies churning in my stomach each step of the way...I kinda wished we were doing this at my Dad and Viv's instead, as I'm pretty sure the atmosphere there would be much more welcoming. I hadn't spoken much more about my Mother to Seth, other than the little bits and pieces I'd told him here and there during our many conversations together on Twitter.
I smiled at Seth walking confidently as I took him by the hand and led him to our study to meet my mother, so he could ask her to give away her daughter's hand in marriage. But as we walked I felt myself becoming increasingly worried, because I knew all too well what my mother was like. I took a deep breath as we turned into her study, and I immediately stopped dead in my tracks because there was a look on my Mothers face that I hadn't seen since I was a little girl...it was happiness.
''Mom?'' I said, looking at her still a bit teary eyed ''...are you okay?''
She looked at me, then at Seth, then back at me, smiling the biggest smile I had ever seen ''I am baby'' she sniffed, her eyes slowly welling with tears ''I...I was standing by the door and...well I heard everything'' she cried.
I watched in so much love and emotion as she slowly walked up to Seth and put a kind hand on his shoulder ''You have my absolute 100% blessing Mr. Rollins''
''Oh Mom! Thank you! Thank you so much!'' I cried, flinging my arms round her, and giving her a big kiss on her cheek.
''It's okay baby'' she whispered in my ear ''...now go live the happy you were meant to, because no one deserves it more than you love'' she smiled, kissing the top of my head.
''Mrs. Anderson, thank you so much for giving us your blessing. I love your daughter very very much, and I give you my solemn word that I will continue to love, cherish and look after her 'till the day I die'' he smiled warmly.
''I know you will'' she smiled back ''...and I know my daughter is very lucky to have you''
We all stood and hugged for the longest time, before I broke away with a huge smile on my face ''Oh my God, I can't wait to tell Court!'' I grinned, rushing over to the hallway phone...
''Don't forget to tell your Dad and Viv too'' Mom smiled.
I smilde back ''Will do Mom...I love you''
''I love you too baby''
THE END.
