Royal Wedding Series. PT. 1 ~ The Proposal (AU Flashback Zacsilla)
When she pulled away from their kiss, Priss smiled up at him. āWell, you couldāve given me a five minute warning to brush my teeth. My mouth smells like a Red Vine factoryā¦ā The both of them knew it didnāt matter. Theyāve seen every inch of each other. They saw each other when they were all dressed up, ready for a red carpet event, and theyāve seen each other naked in bed at seven in the morning with messy bed head and morning breath. She had nothing to hide from him.Ā
"Wow, champagne? Someoneās fancy," Priscilla teased, kissing him quickly once more after he gave her one of her favorite smiles. Zac could light up a room with that genuine smile of his, but sadly, it was rare for others to see. Heād usually put on that fake āglad to be here for the fansā smile and go on with the event he was at. He was still handsome though.Ā
"Oh, okay. Of course, Zac. Whatās up?" she asked when he set his hands on her waist. He kissed her nose and she smiled contently up at her boyfriend once again, her arms wrapping around his neck loosely. With the champagne and everything, Priss was expecting them to celebrate some movie casting or business deal that Zac scored, so of course sheād be excited for him. She always was.Ā
"But you wanted to sit, right? Come on, babe. Thereās a couch calling our names." Priss then took his hand and walked to the couch with him, sitting by his side and looking up at him. This was nice. Just him and her in front of the fire with the cool night sky outside. And Zac was probably going to tell her about some insane deal he got which was going to be great.Ā
He laughed quietly with her, pulling her slightly closer to him, the warmth of her body making him feel at home like he always did when he was around her. They could be at the other side of the world, and he still felt at home if she was with him. She was his home. "Your breath is fine. And you look beautiful, but that's nothing new, is it?" he complimented her sincerely, like he always did.
"Of course I'm fancy. Nobody's fancier than me. Not even your Queen." he stated jokingly. British people and their royalty... wait. Sometimes he forgot Priss was a royal. Mostly because she wasn't that much of a snob, not at all around him. It was because to him she was a normal girl. He loved her for her, not for her title, in fact he couldn't have cared less about that. Hell, he would've loved her just the same if she were a Target cashier.
With a smile still on his face as they sat up on the couch, he got ready to start talking. It was better if he just said it once and for all, instead of mumbling around. But that was proving to be a lot easier said than done.
He cleared his throat. "So. You know I love you, right? Like, you don't have any doubts about that, am I correct?" he asked. He really wished he was making her feel loved in their relationship, because that's what she deserved. And because she was, in fact, very much loved. Too much.
She was his weakness and there was no doubt about it.
"I'm... I'm... fuck. I'm so crap at words. I'm sorry." he said, already getting frustrated at the fact that he couldn't seem to gather the right words to say, even if he had rehearsed this moment in front of the mirror about a billion times. "I love you with all my heart Priss. And I don't know how, or why, but for some reason, you decided to love me back. And I want to make sure you know that that is the best thing that has ever happened to me." he said, his mind racing inside his head and his palms starting to sweat.
"All my life has always been a lie. Most of my friends are a lie. My parents' marriage is a lie. My love life was a lie. I was trained to lie since I was 7, by my PR agent. He taught me how to be a professional liar. And now I am. And I never thought much of it. Until I met you, and for the first time I felt the need to stop hiding what I feel. I needed to tell you who I am and what I think and what I have to say. Because you really do care. And I care about you like I've never cared about anything else in my life. And I love that. I love you. And I want you. Forever." he said, pausing for a second to catch his breath now that he was content with the words that had came out. So then he took from his jacket's pocket the little velvet box and opened it up, showing a diamond ring.
It wasn't extremely big and flashy, again. His engagement was something real to him. He wasn't doing it to feed any tabloids. They didn't need an extravagant big ass ring. But then again, it was real diamonds and gold.
And then it was time to speak again. This was it. He couldn't wait any longer. "So, Priss. Will you, once again, make me the happiest man in the world, by becoming my wife?" he said, tears in his eyes starting to show. Why the fuck did he have to be so sensitive?
