Alexia.
I stared at him for a moment. I wasn't expecting this at all and my brain was having a hard time catching up. Was Michael seriously proposing to me? This was like a dream.
"Yes!" I yelled as tears of joy rolled down my face.
He grinned and everyone clapped for us. Suddenly, there was a popping sound and flower petals fell from the ceiling at the area where we were standing. Everybody's soft claps turned into loud cheers and I couldn't believe how much effort Michael had put into this.
He stood up and I gave him my hand before he slipped the ring on my finger. Pulling me into his arms, he pressed his lips against mine and I was quick to respond.
I pulled away from the kiss. "I love you," I said as I tried to wipe away the tears.
He laughed fondly and gave me a soft peck. "I love you too."
"Congratulations!" Luis said as she suddenly wrapped her arms around us. "I'm glad that I

Michael. I sighed as I looked at the computer screen in front of me. Just when I thought that the day would go slow, I received a large document that had to be read through and confirmed. Having a slow day in the cooperate world wasn't a good thing. In fact, you'd be a discouraged if things were going so slow that progress was almost non-existent, but as much as I liked a good day of work, I just wanted to find time to talk with Alexia today. Today was a very special day and I couldn't wait for work hours to end. Actually, we were leaving early because we had to go to the hospital to check up on the baby and had a trip after that. I was excited and I didn't know what to expect but I was happy that we got to experience this. The door opened and I looked up from my work at Gabriel. He looked mildly angry and quickly walked to his desk before sitting down. Letting out a heavy sigh, he put his files on the table and turned on his comp

Michael."Alexia!" Mrs. Dawson squealed excitedly as she rushed to her daughter and wrapped her arms around her.Alexia's mother was a tall, slim woman with hair that matched Alexia's. She had brown eyes and small wrinkles graced her forehead. Mrs. Dawson was taller than Alex and it made me wonder where she got her height from."Hi, mom," Alex laughed. "If this hug gets any tighter, I'll die.""Don't say that," she said as she pulled away from the hug but kept her hands on Alex's shoulders. "I've missed you so much, dear. How have you been?""I've been okay and I missed you too, Mom.""Okay. It's Dad's turn now," Mr. Dawson said with a light chuckle as he walked closer to them and I realized that he was shorter than his wife.He was a slightly chubby man with a short beard and black hair. Just from the way he spoke, I could tell that he was very fond of Alexia. Seeing them so glad to see her made me feel warm

Alexia.The morning sun's rays peeked into the room through the spaces in-between the curtains. It was a quiet morning and I sank deeper into Michael's arms as I enjoyed his warmth.We were in my old bedroom and my parents had tidied it up quite nicely that you couldn't tell that it wasn't used for the past six years. They also made my room more mature to match up with my current age but didn't do the same with the bed so, Michael and I had to squeeze in.I didn't mind it much because I couldn't pass up an opportunity to cuddle with Michael but then, it wasn't the most comfortable position to maintain over a long period of time. I wondered how Michael felt about this since his feet were over the edge."I'm tired," I groaned into his chest.The time we spent with my parents last night didn't go as well as I expected, especially between Michael and Dad. I was worried and thought of how I could make Dad's heart soften for him but after d

Alexia.I hummed as I examined the document in front of me. Being unsure of what to do with it, I forwarded it to Michael and began to work on another document. Michael and I had got back a few days ago and we were back on schedule the very next day. To be honest, I felt like we took too many leave days this month and I was slightly embarrassed for taking advantage of them. I was happy to have talked with my parents and caught up with them. I was especially glad over how close Michael and my father had gotten over the short period of time that we were there. They spent most of their time together and the only time that Michael and I could properly enjoy each other's company was when it was time for bed. I found it quite amusing since my father wasn't very interested in befriending the people around me. He was a little judgmental towards others and used intimidation as a respect route since he was a short man. Despite that, he had a warm heart and I loved him to bits. My mother tal

Michael. I tried to calm my racing heart as I tapped my foot impatiently against the metal floor of the elevator. Couldn't this thing go any faster? Just as I was about to leave the office after working overtime, I received a call from Alexia. Picking it up, it was actually Luis who called and she said that somebody had broken into, and trashed, Alexia's apartment. I was baffled. Alexia's apartment had good security so, how could this be? I sighed as I looked at the numbers nearing Alexia's floor and prayed to the greater being above that she was okay. The bell of the elevator made my heart jump and I pushed past the sliding doors before they could fully open. I felt more anxious at the sight of two police officers standing outside the apartment. Some of the neighbours stood in front of their doors as they looked at the scene in worry and curiousity. I quickly spotted Luis because the red dress that she wore stood out from the colours ahead of me. She held Alexia's hands while she

Alexia. "Is that all?" Michael asked as he watched me walk down the stairs and I nodded. "I hope so. I'm so sorry about this," I said apologetically. He smiled at me. "It's okay. You didn't do it on purpose." "I still feel bad though." I reached the bottom of the stairs and we quickly walked out of the house. The car was already parked and ready when we walked passed the doors and Michael walked to the other side of the car. Opening the door to the backseat, I put my handbag and some files on the seat before sliding into the car. I looked at Michael, who was seated next to me, and he was looking at his phone. I could see that he was impatient but he didn't express it in words. I felt guilty. It was only my first day here and I made us late. The morning started horrible and I spent the first few hours, vomiting and groaning on the bathroom floor. Michael stayed until I was okay despite being ready before me. I told him to go on. That I'll be okay but he didn't listen to me. Mich

Michael. The day was finally done and after paying the doctor a visit, we went back home. The drive was slow and I appreciated that the driver did so. Alexia rested her head on my shoulder as she dozed off and I kept my gaze at the passing houses and pedestrians outside. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the baby although we were told to be careful. Alexia was also given some medication for a few days and I hoped that they would do their part. The car slowed down when we reached the front of the house and lightly tapped Alexia's cheek, making her sit up with a groan. "We're home," I said with a light chuckle as she wiped a trail of drool from her cheek. "Oh, my God, I'm sorry," she said and wiped my shoulder with the sleeve of her blazer. "I never drool. I wonder what happened today." "You're tired. Let's go inside." "Yeah." I got out of the car and offered her my hand as I helped her out. Yawning, she held my arm and we walked into the house. I looked up at Jim, who wa

Michael. Click. The soft shutter of my camera registered in my ears, making me hum in appreciation. I looked at the pictures that I had been taking for a while and brought the camera back to my face to take more pictures. I smiled as I watched Alexia and Luis play in the water. They were laughing as they splashed water on each other and talked. My heart warmed up at how great the day was going and I felt fulfilled to spend so much time with these people. Taking pictures with my camera fully awoke the photographer in me and before I knew it, I couldn't put it down. I started taking pictures of the sky, the trees, the water and with consent; some strangers. I had fun and I looked at the warm sand under my feet. Closing my eyes for a moment, I basked under the sun and opened my eyes to look at anything else that I could take a photo of. "You're sucked into that camera, huh?" Tony said as he stood next to me and kept his eyes ahead. I chuckled. "It's been a while since I've taken ph
