Two years later
I look out of my hut that overlooks the turquoise water that seems to glisten like diamonds in the sun.
Jase brought me here for our two year anniversary, and it’s the first time we have come up for air after all the crazy sex we’ve been having. I just can’t get enough of him. I love him like crazy. And Jase has finally learnt to relax enough to know I’m not going anywhere.
After his declaration of love back In New York, we moved in together after a couple of months. Spending so much time apart due to work was driving us nuts, we missed each other so much so now I live with him in LA for the six months, and New York for other half. And I fly wherever I need to be for work in between. It hasn’t been easy, but we’ve made it work. And being out here in Bora Bora, just the two of us with no work distractions has been pure bliss.
I lay there in my white bikini on the sun deck, taking in the sunshine and eating all the lovely fresh fruit we’ve had delivered. I see Jase walking out of the room taking a seat next to me.
“You really shouldn’t wear that bikini, otherwise I’m going to have to take you right here,” he says with intense eyes, so green they’re almost the same colour as the water here.
I smile at him and give him a kiss on the cheek. “Hey baby.”
But he looks nervous; I can see it in his body language. He’s fidgety and avoiding eye contact as much as possible with me. I notice him get up and pace around the deck a few times before coming back to me.
I start to get nervous. I’ve never seen Jase like this, and my stomach is starting to form knots. “What’s wrong Jase, you’re scaring me.”
He kneels in front of me and looks at me, concern etched all over his face.
Oh god, what’s happened?
“Sophie,” he says taking one of my hands. “Since I’ve met you, you’ve turned my life upside down, in the best way possible. You’ve understood me when I couldn’t express my emotions in words. You’re patient and kind, loving, smart, driven, and downright stunning that you knock the air out of my lungs each time I see you. I love you with everything I have and I can’t lose you. You’re mine. And I want it to be that way for the rest of my life. I want us to grow old together, holding each other’s hand like we are now. You’re my rock, and I don’t want to spend a second without you. I love you so much baby.”
He pulls his other hand out from behind his back, exposing a small black box. A box that would a fit a ring. He opens it and sure enough there it is. A ring. But not just any ring. A stunning Emerald cut ring which is absolutely huge, and is encased by a halo of diamonds.
Kneeling down on one knee, he asks me the question every girl who is love with her man dreams to be asked.
“Sophie Jacobs. Will you do me the honour of being my wife and allowing me to love you every day for the rest of your life? Please don’t say no, this ring cost me a fortune,” he says with a cheeky smile.
I giggle and laugh and cry, tears streaming down my face. I can’t believe this is happening.
“Yes, baby, yes of course, I love you. Yes!” I squeal to him while Jase slowly places the engagement ring onto my finger.
I hug him with tears streaming down my face and he swirls me around like a doll.
He pulls back and kisses me slow and deep. “I Love you baby.”
And with that we lay there on the deck kissing and hugging and laughing at each other before ending up in the bedroom where we don’t leave until late in the afternoon.
