Well, let me cut the chase and tell you about how we first met.

*FLASHBACK*

The story begins with our college. When he was in his last year, I was a student of the first year. We had met once or twice but one incident changed everything.

Elijah appeared as a gentleman and saviour in my life. One day when I was crossing the road to reach college, a car suddenly appeared on the road coming at me at full speed. I froze in shock as before crossing I had checked the road and it was clear to cross. But now I found my feet glued to the road and unable to move. All of a sudden I felt someone push me towards the side of the road. I had no serious injury but a scraped elbow. When I turned around to thank the person who saved me, I was shocked to see Elijah Perkins dusting his jeans. It was a shock to see him as we had zero interactions in our whole college life.

However, he brought me to a nearby clinic to get my elbow checked even after my instance to leave it be. I stood quietly as I had no idea what to say or do. It was all awkward for me as 'HE' the crush of the whole college was standing in front of me, fussing over me. I guess any girl would have died to be in my place right now. After getting clearance from the doctor, he dropped me home and asked for my number. Well after that we became close. After months of being a friend, he asked me out. Even though I knew about his playboy image, I still accepted his proposal as deep down I knew I had feelings for him. It felt like love at first sight.

Our first date was very romantic and at the end of the day, he asked me to be his girlfriend. I felt as if it was all a dream come true and replied with a yes. That was an unforgettable day. After that, I fell in love with him a little by little every day. I knew the feeling was mutual.

A month after our first date, Elijah graduated and had joined his father's company. However, I was still trying to survive the end of my first year. We had no problem with meeting up. We usually went on dates every weekend. He was perfect in every sense; sweet, caring, and gentle, all that I ever wanted. He was the one to state his feelings first as I was scared to admit that I loved him for the fear of rejection. The day he confessed his love for me, I became the happiest woman alive. People said that we cannot put hundred percent trust into someone and yes it is my first time fall in love. I just like how I felt right at that moment. Butterflies everywhere.

After 1 year of dating, he proposed to me to become his wife. I went in shock and realized after a few seconds that he had proposed. I said yes with tears in my eyes. He proposed me at restaurant that we had our first dinner together as a couple. It was simple and yet memorable for me and also him. It was one of the most special days of my life. He made my life beautiful. However, Elijah didn't want to be engaged for long so we decided to get married after two weeks. I knew it was insane but the heart wants what it wants, as Selena said. We had a grand wedding with more than thousands of guests. Elijah’s family know a lot of important people and his family owns companies almost around the world, that’s why the guest reached thousands. Luckily the hall was big enough for all that people fit in one place.

The venue was very beautiful, almost appearing magical with a theme of Ivory and Maroon colour. I had a white off-shoulder sweetheart neckline gown with sleeves made of lace. The back of the gown was a corset style with a long train, I felt gorgeous wearing it. It truly felt like a dream come true after watching Elijah at the end of the altar. At first, I was super nervous of walking down the aisle alone but thankfully his dad volunteer to walk down the aisle with me. That’s one thing that I am very grateful is that even though they are rich people, they didn’t look down for someone like me. They treat me like their own daughter. I feel so welcome in their family.

We are just so happy with how our lives are going and hoping for kids in the future.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

It has been two years into our married life, and I still can't get over the fact that I have been married for so long. Elijah has always been a soft, sweet, romantic, and caring husband to me. The presence of a spark between us can still be felt. This is what all I have ever dreamt of, all I need now is a baby in our life. We’ve been trying these days and I do have a feelings God will give us a miracle sooner. Elijah will be the good dad to our children.
