My Shining Star
No More Goodbye, Only Goodnight
3 YEARS LATER
Louis and I have been together for three whole years! During that time, we never strayed once. Even when he was away on tour or recording or interviewing halfway around the world, we kept in touch every day and sometimes got to see each other in person. Today he was flying back here for our anniversary and I was super excited to see him again! He said he had a surprise planned. I couldn’t wait to see what it was.
I’m waiting at the airport for him to get here. His flight should get in in a few minutes. A little bit later, I see him come out of the gate. “Louis!!” I shout across.
“Sammi!!” he says running towards me. He runs and picks me up spinning me.
“I’ve missed you, sweetie. Oh and happy three year anniversary, darling.” he says pulling out a single red rose handing it to me.
“Awh thank you! Happy anniversary, baby. I’ve missed you too.”
We left the airport hand in hand and walked to my car. “So what’s the plan for today?”
“Well…I was thinking we could go to Nandos.” he said.
“Awh where we ate when you came back the first time! I love it.” So we went to Nandos and had lunch. Then we went back to my place and watched Paranormal Activity 2. Louis did most of the watching, I did most of the hiding in his chest. He chuckled every time I got scared. He thought it was sooo hilarious. But his laugh is cute, so I don’t entirely mind.
It got to be around dinnertime when the movie was over. “Guess what time it is, love!”
“Surprise time?!”
“Surprise time. We’ll leave in a few minutes. I have to get something real quick.” he says leaving the room. He comes back with a piece of cloth.
“What’s that for?” I ask suspicious.
“We’re going on an adventure!” he says before tying the cloth over my eyes.
“Louis! What the hell, I can’t see!”
“That’s the point. C’mon!” He picks me up and carries me. I feel us suddenly outside and he sets me down in his car.
“Where are we going?!”
“Just be patient, you’ll see.” he says and begins driving. We’re driving for about 10 minutes I’m guessing and the car turns off.
I hear his door open and close, then my door open and he says, “Watch your step, love.” as he helps me out of his car. He then picks me up again and carries me running somewhere. He puts me down and says, “Okay I’m taking off your blindfold. But don’t open your eyes yet. Promise?”
“Promise!” I say. I feel the blindfold come off and I keep my eyes closed.
I hear some rustling around and giggle a little. “Can I open them yet?”
“Just a second!” he shouts sounding far away. I wait a little longer and he shouts, “Okay open your eyes!” My jaw drops to the floor. It's even better than three years ago! I see a very small Louis standing at the end of the long dock with candles lining the sides. It had a platform at the end of it that had a table and chairs that looked simple, but beautiful. It looks pretty romantic.
Louis walks down the dock in a tuxedo just like the one he wore on our first date. “Surprise, boo boo! Happy anniversary.” He leads me up the dock to the table and pulls my chair out for me. We eat our delicious dinner and even feed each other. After we talk for a bit, he starts looking kind of nervous.
“Sammi, the time of the night has come for the biggest surprise of all.” He stands up and helps me out of my chair, taking my hand in his. “I’ve said almost everything I’ve ever wanted to say to you since we met. However, there’s still something that hasn’t been said." He starts leading me back off the dock.
"First, Sammi, you are the love of my life. My shining star, the brightest in the sky.” he says running his thumb over the ring he got me three years ago. Of course I was wearing it tonight.
“You bring out the best in me. You make me better. We balance each other out, and you complete me. I can’t picture myself with anyone else but you. I know in my heart that we are meant to be, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. If I could have anyone in the world, I would still choose you to spend my life with.” By now we're at the end of the dock on the sand.
"So...with that said," he says getting something out of his pocket and opening it, “I know it isn't a big beautiful diamond, but it's made of pure sterling silver. It cost a fortune, but you deserve only the best, and it symbolizes my never ending love for you. Now without any further ado..." he says getting down one knee with the ring in his fingers and grabbing one of my hands, "will you marry me, and make me the happiest, luckiest man alive?”
I couldn’t say anything, I was way too close to crying. All I could do is nod vigorously and start crying in his arms when he put the ring on my finger and hugged me the tightest he’s ever hugged me. He pulled away, saw I was crying, and just kissed me anyway.
He didn’t care if I was an emotional wreck. This time it was for good reason. We went home after we watched the waves crash for a while and fell asleep in each other’s arms. It felt so great to know that we would never have to say goodbye anymore, only goodnight.
