Ava's POV

I rushed to the counter frantically searching, where in the world were the damn rings? Thomas was going to kill me, but that would be if I was still be alive by the time Antoinette and Alex were done with me.

How could I have lost the rings? It was their wedding after all, and Thomas had asked me to keep the rings for him. And I had agreed, it was just now I couldn't find them.

Oh Antoinette was going to kill me, hadn't she said something about those being her grandmas on her wedding day. Her and Alex were having another wedding. A proper one she had called it.

The last one they hadn't been the best, Thomas had refused to attend, causing him to have a fight with the groom and leaving the groom grumpy on his wedding day. As for Antoinette, her dress had been ruined her little sister who had been the flower girl and had spilled her juice all over it. Ruining it of course, and Antoinette had been forced to wear a plain and old wedding dress.

Yeah, not the best wedding. Antoinette had said herself, her and Alex was happier as was Thomas and he had me now. She had wanted a joyous occasion one where everyone was happy, she was happy.

And we had all agreed when she asked for a second wedding. By some miracle she had asked me to be the maid of honor, that was stressful.

Alex had wanted Thomas to be the ring bearer and Thomas agreeing had asked me to keep the rings claiming he always loses everything. But I couldn't find them.

"Hey, my love" he softly said appearing out of nowhere engulfing me in a back hug he dropped his head and placing a light kiss onto my hair said "Do you have the rings? The wedding's going to start soon."

Frickiaty Frick Frack.

I'm doomed. I reached into my pocket, and I sighed as I felt the box there, I may not have there wedding rings but I still had mine. "I-I Thomas." I started but he cut me off.

"Let me guess, you don't have them" he asked, and I just meekly nodded. But he just smirked and winking slyly he reached into his pocket and pulled out the rings.

" I already took them" he muttered laughing his bright joyous laugh echoing across the quiet hall. Slapping him I reached into my pocket again, at least he hadn't taken this one.

I wondered if I was ready, but I had to be. Today was the day, I had to do this, it was now or never. I was going to propose to Thomas. Why did the guy have to do it? This was the future, or the present I suppose but I was going to be the queen after all. Sexism was dead to me, as were the cliches that the male had to propose to the girl. It wasn't the way I saw it.

I wanted to marry Thomas, and I wanted to propose to him, and I was going to. I believed that I could do it. And I was going to. Now as in today, everyone was happy a bit stressed maybe, but they were in the mood. The mood I needed.

And looking up at Thomas who still had a bright smile on his face, as he still laughed about his stupidity I knew now was the time. Not later, when all the guests were here, when everyone would be watching us because we were royalty. But now, in this perfect moment, tucked into the corner of the corner. Just us. Me. And.Thomas. It wasn't anything extra, but I'd learned by now that Thomas liked the simple things in life.

And I did as well, he didn't need something fancy. He deserved it of course, but I knew he would perfer something simpler. Something that would make me feel, and I decided this moment was perfect.

Gulping I smiled at him "Thomas don't freak." I heastinly said and he quirked his eyebrows as he stared at me. "Why."

Gulping back my nerves, I dropped on one knee. That hurt. Ignoring the pain. I smiled at the beautiful look on his face, and convinced myself I could do this. He was gaping at me, his mouth wide open his eyebrows shooting up.

And he looked absolutely adorable, but I was worried a fly was going to fly onto his mouth if he didn't close it. You can do this Ava, I convinced myself.

"Thomas...I love you it's as simple as that. Your not perfect and neither am I, we can't be perfect no one can be really. But you are perfection to me, you don't seem to realize how much I love you. You've bought out something within me that I didn't even seem to realize existed. I was weak, I couldn't stand up for myself I would listen to every damn thing my mother would tell me. It wasn't just her, really everyone would push me around. I was used to it, I'd learned to be used to it by now. But you, showed me that I shouldn't be used to that, no one should. And that might not seem like a big deal to you but it was to me. The time, you fixed every single entry my father has ever given to me. The one Eric ruined, you had cared enough to fix it and give it to me for my birthday. That meant the world to me, you are perfect to me. You always will be, I never though I would find anyone like you. Someone who would care for me, someone who would look for me in the crowd. Someone who genuinely loves me, I love you. And I realize I love you are just eight letters. And yes, it was a bit hard for me to say. And it might not mean a lot to you. But you need to understand I don't take these words lightly, I've never said them to anyone. Other than my parents of course. Your the first, and I know you should be the only one. Because you were the one who's been there for me, the one who holds me, kisses me at the most random times. And the one I love. So will you be mine Thomas? Will you marry me?"

Thomas was frozen his eyes searching mine for some clue something anything. He needed to speak before my heart stopped beating. And he did and it was somtotally not what I'd expected.

"Yes of course I will baby" I blinked up at him my long eyelashes hitting my cheeks as I processed what he had said. Did he really accept? It seemed unreal to me.

But then there he was hugging me kissing me, and muttering words and I realized it was real, Thomas was real. I was real. This was real. And I loved him, I knew I always would.

So as we walked out of the kitchen hand in hand my head tucked under his neck, I was happy. So happy. Everything was finally perfect.

I loved him and he loved me.

And that was all that mattered.

And that's why that was the end.
