Is that my breakfast?


I was having the most amazing dream of my lifetime and was awaken by a loud snore behind me. He is so adorable when he snores. His snore makes it sound like he's rushing for something in which I can never decipher but it's cute. And you know by the sound of it, he is indeed very tired. 19 hours to Bora Bora from the Big Apple should not be taken so likely. Totally knock us out!

I sat up gazing that turquoise ocean across our bedroom's window opposite where we are sleeping, and the sound of the rushing waves beneath us reminds me of how lucky we are to be here on the island of paradise. And when you know there's nothing ahead of you awaiting especially work, that's what define my version of liberty. That smell of morning dew can sometime be so luxurious, when you are lying next to what I call "my forever".

I enjoy looking at him while he sleeps. He looks so peaceful like a child who doesn't know if there's any danger coming their way. So serene at the same time. This is the face I love to wake up to every morning.

I might have moved a little too much, and he was lazily awake and said,

"Hey you, why are you awake? It's..." he was searching for his watch "5.23am! Its your holiday, why are you so early? Come here... come to me... let me hug you to sleep. You need it."

I smiled and replied while edging over to his side,

"I just wanted to see the sunrise while listening to the water sound beneath us."

"Without me? That's not fair! Just come on over to my side, I want to enjoy myself while smelling you right now. You drive me nuts you know that." He's urging me to move over to his side.

As I was motioning over to his side, I complained a little,

"I hate these king sizes now. Its too comfy and it has way too much space between us."

"But we can do all sorts thing with this kinda space... don't you think?" He replied cynically while winking one eye towards me.

"Not now. Let's go to sleep." He burst into laughter and snuggled his head in between my earlobe and my neck as he wraps his leg around me and breathed in ever so strongly just to make a statement that he's enjoying himself.

I woke up at 8.22am, and he was still sleeping. I smiled with an exhale and shake my head. He is so naked that I have to cover him up with the comforter close to him. You know sometimes when you're just not ready to see his front dangling and you just have to cover it up. He's such a baby. Beautiful in sight, longed to be admired. Nothing I would complain about but he always says he's not good enough, yet.

My only reply to him is, "Your chiseled body is just the additional bonus to the person whom I really loved. If you're ever out of shape, I still loved you just because you're you."

And he always reply while kissing me and say "Nice try, sweet mouth!" He never believes me when I said that, will he ever leaves me instead if I'm ever out of shape. I will never know.

So, I put on my boxers and walk towards the door just to check on the peep hole. I saw them waiting outside. They were waiting for my cue to bring in the breakfast surprise I planned for him before we came over to the island.

They briefed me thoroughly on how to use the breakfast trolley and I tipped them generously. They gave me their best wishes and left the room quietly.

As I was preparing breakfast for both of us, he suddenly said,

"Hey nerd, what's smelling so good?"

I laughed and looked at him and asked,

"Are you ready for breakfast?"

"In bed?" He eyes were big and was getting all excited.

"You betcha." I giggled.

"Oh my, oh my, oh my, are we having croissants too for breakfast on this island? When did you call for room service? I don't remember hearing anything from you just now." 

Wait, was he really sleeping when he was sleeping?

"Well, I arranged it before we went to bed last night. And I know you cannot missed breakfast, so I asked for room service." I explained casually.

"For meeee, oh love, you don't have to. I thought we're having the breakfast buffet?" He was looking puzzled and continued saying,

"... but I think I would prefer this instead. Heck, we are going to be here for 7 days and there's nothing really much we could do, the buffet can wait. Can you sit right by me? Nearer to me, why are you so far away?" He was already munching his first piece of croissant.

And...

*Crack!* 

His face was all twisted.

The moment has arrived.

"What in the worl... What the hell is thi..." As he was pulling out a ring.

So, I quickly ran over to his side and threw his croissant back into the breakfast tray and jump right on top of him. His face was still clueless and blur at the same time. I'm getting ready for my speech but he retorted,

"What are you doing? What are you on top of me right now?"



"Scott Mason, in honor of our 2 years relationship..." I started.

"Oh My God..." He closes his mouth with both his hands.

"...through hardship and love." I continued.

"Can you not... can you not make me cry right now?" He was all emotional.

"Through thick and thin, I love you so very much, will you marry me?" I finally popped the question.

"OH MY GOD, YES! You nerd, a thousand times YES!!! It's definitely you, oh dear God, it's always you. YES!!!" He sobbed and screamed with so much excitement. He carry me up and stood on the floor together.

"So yes? Really? Me? You want to spend the rest of your life with me? No regrets? Really?" I asked again and again.

"You silly silly nerd! Of course I do want to spend the rest of my life with you." Pecking me on my cheek, lips and eyes all over, "... you are the one that changed me for the better and made me who I am today. And it's all because of you! How can I not be with you forever! We owe each other this! We owe it to such a wonderful union as this!" He explains and...

He pulls me so fast and hard as we kissed each other recklessly til we fall back to our bed. We were so hot that the breakfast tray fell on the floor as he signal me with the ring he was still holding.... 

"Wait wait wait... the kissing can wait. Wear it for me please... like right now. I want to see how it looks like and slap your ass with it to make a mark." He was such an asshole.

"Shut up with the ass thing. Let me see whether it fits" I replied.

As I slip the ring into his fingers...


"It does, it does, it does... YES!!!! It does!!!" He screamed again.

I was staring straight right into eyes and said,

"With this, I want to make known to you that I will not bring you the star I promised you 2 years ago. But you are the star I've been searching for. You shine ever so brightly within me, within my heart and within my soul." I stopped as my tears begin to shed, "...and you, because of you, I am shining ever so brightly today with you, after all these years with your love and support." 

Finally holding back my tears I said it,

"I will always cherish and love you forever." My tears just shed right in front of him.

He wipes it away and said,

"Oh stop it you! Stop being so touché with me. You know I do love you." Pouching his lips and mouth. "... you know I will always always love you!" He sobbed and hugged me.

We hugged, we ate breakfast by feeding each other and we explored the next 7 days like animals in Bora Bora with the sound of the howling wind outside our room. 



On the 7th day, as the sun is setting, we knew it is time for us to announce our engagement party back at home.

Was that my dream of a lifetime? Nope. This is even better.
