City of Love & Desire (Proposal)

Here I am again standing in the most romantic cities in the entire world. This place has always been the one place I told myself I will come with the love of my life. For the past year I couldn't believe that my life has been so full of bliss and love towards my girlfriend and our daughter. I couldn't believe Cassy wanted me to be the mother of Ashen.


But I guess you all thinking what I am planning tonight. Well it is something I wanted to do for quite sometime. To ask her to marry me. Right here underneath the Eiffel Tower.
I remember as a child always wanting to do something like this. I was going to fly Ryan out here once and asked him to marry him. I know crazy right it should be the guy's job to do the proposing. I am not like most girls. I am Leigh Griffin. I do things my way and nothing in this world can change that.

I swear to all of you on this day that I have found my heart again. I have found out that sometimes you may give up and think that you will never get back the love you once shared. The person that you know you never thought would take you back. But if you don't learn from your mistakes then what is the use. How will you ever know that it was true love? We all want that don't we? We want to be able to have that sense off calmest. Not just in your life but deep in your soul.
She told me once that she has fallen in love with same woman. I asked her who. She said. I fell in love with you three times and I am still falling deeper then the first two times. I was swoon when it came to Cassy.


"Leigh." I hear her say. Just hearing her calling me that was the best day in my life.

"Leigh." She says once again as I see her walking towards me pulling me towards her.

I looked deep into her eyes as I can imagine I have a shit ass grin on my face. I took both my hands as I caressed her cheeks gently with my fingertips still starring at her. I broad my finger close to her lips as I smooth them out and pull her face close to mine. I felt her tongue first sliding through my opening mouth. Both our eyes close as I pull her ever so close to me. As I want to feel her heart beating next to mine.

Thud thud. It was beating faster by every kiss. The kissing became deeper until we were in a full out make out session. We do this from time to time. In every City we have been in we have explored not just the places we have been but also ourselves. This past year we have rediscovered our love, even though it has been there all along.
I pull away just to breath.

"Mahal na kita." I tell her kissing her on the fore head.

"I love you too." She says.

"Leigh are you going to be drifting off to fantasy world without me. Cause I think that is just unfair." She said pouting.

"No, it's just that I can't believe I am standing underneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris with you and we have a daughter. I couldn't be more happier then I have ever been in the last five years." I tell her.
I took her hand as we sat on the bench close by.

"Cassy you won't believe how happy I am when you took me back that day. If it wasn't for my sister I don't know where and what I would've been like now." She keeps caressing my hand with her thumb over and over.

"Cassy." I say.

Her eyes were focused on mine as brown looked deep into blue.
My God I love her.


"I thank God for the day you were created, and smile each time you look my way. The road has warmed and all my sorrows were tamed.
Within my heart your friendship and love will always remain. So the next road I travel, frightening and new. I will walk without pain or sorrow. Not before, but knowing this now.
All roads lead back to you." by this time I was settled down on one knee with the ring popped out in my hand holding the box towards her as her eyes grew even bigger then the time we moved into our house.


She couldn't believe that I got back the house we use to live in way before everything went wrong for us.
This is the start of something new. This was our future I just know this is where I want to be and this is where it also ends.

"Leigh, are you crazy." She says. I was hoping for something else though. You haven't even asked her yet dummy.

"Crazy in love yes." I tell her.

"Please baby don't say anything let me get this off my chest please I just need you to answer me one thing." I tell her.

"You haven't asked yet so how can I answer you.' she said. Trying to be cute and all.

"Cassy Larkin for the past years I have been broken. The day I walked out on you were the hardest and also the stupidest thing I have ever done, but you know what I have learned that I had to grow as a person to be able to grow in love with you all over again. Let's leave the past in the past. Will you marry me Cassy Larkin cause like I said all roads leads me back to you. What do you say?" I was still waiting for an answer when she jumped up and grabs me at the arm too.

"Yes. Yes I will marry you Leigh Griffin. I love you. Mahal na kita."

I slowly took out the diamond engagement ring as I slide it onto her ring finger.


It's not about the journey but the destination. We are all lost in this life and one day we find the one person who you can honestly say is your one true love. I have found my soul mate in the gorgues blonde that lived on the opposite beach house of mine. So if you ask me if there is a thing like love at first sight, soul mates then I suggest you read our story.
Our paths were reunited. Everything leads up to that moment where I asked her to marry me.
When she said yes I was overwhelmed with joy in my heart for her to forgive me for everything. In the process I have also forgiven myself.
I found my true love. My heart all in one person.
