Proposal

(Song Suggestion while reading: Best Part – Daniel Caesar ft. H.E.R (Acoustic Cover) by anz works)

Alexander cleared his throat before he started to pluck the strings of the guitar. He leaned forward to the mic and started to sing.

"You don't know, babe,

When you hold me,

And kiss me slowly,

It's the sweetest thing,

And it don't change,

If I had it my way,

You would know that you are,"

Sabrina was immediately mesmerized by Alexander's deep and beautiful voice. She looked at him lovingly as she listened to the song he was singing.

"You're the coffee that I need in the morning,

You're my sunshine in the rain when it's pouring,

Won't you give yourself to me,

Give it all, oh,"

Alexander walked away from his spot and headed towards Sabrina.

As he walked, the surroundings suddenly lit up once again. Different from earlier, the lights were now colored soft pink that gave off a romantic feeling to their surroundings.

Alexander stood in front of Sabrina and looked at her in the eyes lovingly.

"I just wanna see,

I just wanna see how beautiful you are,

You know that I see it,

I know you're a star,

Where you go I follow,

No matter how far,

If life is a movie,

Oh you're the best part."

Alexander placed the guitar down and held both of her hands.

"Alexander, what's this?" Sabrina asked as tears started to form on her eyes.

"Exactly one and a half month ago when I first saw you and your smiles captivated me in a flash. You know that love used to be a foreign word to me, but it became familiar when I met you."

"I'm not a perfect man Sabrina. I can be very annoying at most times and selfish, but with you I'm slowly changing myself for the better," Alexander spoke the words that his heart wanted to tell Sabrina.

"Having you by my side is what completes me, makes me and fulfills me. You complete me in every way possible Sabrina. I used to be broken but you came and fixed me."

"Though I have lots of things to say, my words are hiding from me and I cannot express myself completely. A simple thing I want to say is I love you today and always," Alexander let go of Sabrina's hand and kneeled before her. He grabbed the ring box from his pocket.

Sabrina gasped in shock as tears came running down her face, "Alex," was all she managed to say.

Alexander looked at Sabrina, "I want to spend the rest of my life waking up beside you and doing things with you. I offer you my life, my heart and my soul. Until the day I die, I will love no one else but you. Grow old with me and have kids with me, Sabrina," Alexander opened the box and presented the ring to Sabrina.

"Will you do me the honor of being my wife? The Mrs. Grande of my life?" he said, "Will you marry me Sabrina Walker?" he asked her.

Sabrina's tears continued to flow as she nodded, "Yes!" she answered.

Alexander smiled. He pulled the ring from the box immediately, "Give me your left hand," he said and Sabrina complied immediately.

Alexander put the ring on Sabrina's ring finger slowly and he sighed in relief when it was a perfect fit.

Alexander held Sabrina's face and wiped her tears, "I love you so much baby," he said.

Sabrina smiled, "I love you more," she answered him.

Alexander leaned forward and kissed Sabrina.

Among all the kisses they have shared, this was the sweetest for Sabrina.

She's about to spend the years of her life with this amazing man right in front of her who did nothing but to protect and love her unconditionally.

This was one of the best decisions she has ever made in her entire life and she knew that she will never regret it.

Mrs. Sabrina Grande.

It sounds beautiful.

She can't wait to spend the rest of her life with him!

*boom boom boom*

Sabrina pulled away from Alexander due to shock from the sudden loud sounds. She looked up to the clear night skies, "Did you do that?" she asked him as her eyes twinkled from staring at fireworks.

"Do you like it?" Alexander asked her.

Sabrina placed a kiss on Alexander's cheek, "I love it," she smiled.

"Whoooooo! Congrats to the future Mr. and Mrs. Grande!" shouted Kenzie who came out of nowhere, holding a champagne bottle on her hands.

"Congratulations baby!" Amanda rushed to her daughter and enveloped her in a hug.

"Did you guys know about this?" Sabrina asked in surprise when all of her family suddenly came rushing out.

"I'm sorry, I had to keep it a secret," Amanda smiled at Sabrina.

"You're getting married OMG!" Kenzie exclaimed. She hugged Sabrina after Amanda, "I'm so happy for you!" she said.

"Thank you!" Sabrina said.

"Alexander, come here," Amanda opened her arms to Alexander and hugged him tightly, "Welcome to our family," she said.

Alexander smiled, "Thank you Auntie," he said but he took back his words immediately, "I mean Mom," he said.

Amanda smiled at him and patted him on the back, "Take care of my daughter okay?" she told him.

"I will Mom," he answered her.

The family shared good time together, along with Kenzie and Grey, who all became part of the family too. They all sat on the ground under the beautiful skies filled with stars. They shared good laughs and stories together while enjoying champagne.

"Alright! I think it's about time that we leave these two lovebirds alone and let them enjoy their moment together," Ysabel said.

"I want to rest too," agreed George.

Everybody stood up and started to wrap up the champagne glasses and other things that they managed to clean.

"We'll leave now," said Javier, "You guys have a great time," he said.

Sabrina stepped forward and hugged her father, "Thanks Dad," she said.

After that, all the elders, including Kenzie and Grey, all left to go home to give Sabrina and Alexander some private time together.

Walking hand in hand, the couple strolled around The Huntington Botanical Gardens.

"Are you happy?" Alexander asked her when they paused their walk on the curved bridge.

Sabrina faced him with a smile, "I am," she answered him. She suddenly brought out her phone and pulled Alexander.

"What is it?" Alexander asked her.

"Let's take a picture," Sabrina said. She displayed her hand, wearing a ring on the camera and moved closer to Alexander.

"Say cheese!" she said. Alexander immediately placed a kiss on Sabrina's cheek before she clicked the capture button.

Sabrina opened her instagram account and searched for the photo. She tagged Alexander's account @GummybearAlex and posted the photo with the caption,

'This is too beautiful to be kept hidden'

"Are you sure of that?" Alexander asked her worriedly.

Sabrina wrapped her arm around Alexander's neck and placed a chaste kiss on his lips, "I can't keep an amazing man like you hidden. I want to tell the world how lucky of a woman I am for having you in my life," she said.

She was Alexander's and will forever be his. There was no point in hiding everything anymore.
