I saved the world today.

No, really.

We got the information at the headquarters about a possible sale of nuclear energy that could probably power multiple super computers which can control each and every electronic device via the satellites. Duh.

I had some friends in Indonesia that confirmed this sale and helped our officers get to the location and intercept the exchange.

It was a piece of cake...or as I like to call it- a pastry.

It was a stressful situation at the office so I let everyone working on this case off early, and perks of that? I get to go too! Can't wait to surprise my boyfriend who probably has his tongue down in some witch's throat.

"I love you"

I remember saying that to Ari in the hospital. Bit anti- climatic might I add. It wasn't how I wanted the profess my undying love to her. It definitely didn't get me the response I wanted. But we fixed that after the day at her parent's house.

We say 'I love you' only for special occasions now, so that it remains... well special. We didn't want these words to loose their meaning. We obviously came up with- let's say - creative alternatives. Some including ' I don't want you to die ' or ' I'll strangle you with a hanger ' or even ' I want to eat your abs '.

The last one is pretty overused, by both parties. Michael even said he'd rather hear us making kissing noises than hear Ariana say 'I like your elbow'.

Soon after that while having a heart to heart to Ari following the mind-blowing séx we had, Ari told me- WARNED ME that if her wedding proposal wasn't anything like out of a movie, she'd say no.

And today is ...pretty special, I believe.

I'm gonna ask her to sign a certificate. Get hitched. Put that ring on her finger.

Fúck how do I not make it cliché.

Two weeks ago, I woke up at 3 am and tip toed to Michael's room. I felt this overwhelming urge to talk to someone and I knew my brother would be the best person to go to. If I wanted any advice I knew Michael would always have my back. He woke up and the first words out of his mouth were "what's wrong?"

"Nothing wrong, everything's AMAZING, life's so good, this place, this job, this house! Everything!" I whispered while pacing around his bed.

"So... what's right?" He yawned.

"I don't know,. Nothing's wrong but something's not right..." I mumbled.

"Oh for fúcks sake sit down you're making me dizzy with all the pacing!" He pulled me down. Michael never got dizzy so I knew he said that for me to calm down.

"I think I-" I took a deep breath in.

"Want to pee?" He snickered.

"No! I-I-" I exhaled.

"Say it." He pointed a look at me.

"IwanttomarryarianabecauseIlovehersomuch" I released a breath.

"Finally!" He said and pulled his covers up, falling back into his bed.

"Wait...did you say MARRY?" He woke up again with a face splitting smile. It looked so creepy.

"Is that stupid?" I asked running my fingers through my hair.

He took a deep breath in.

"It's perfect. You deserve this Alex. You both make each other very happy, and you've been through a lot. Even though I don't like the mushy part, I know what you have I real and strong." He patted my back.

"What if she-" I looked down.

"Say's yes? She's going to be tied to an idiot forever. But she loves this idiot too much to ever let him go." He snickered.

"Thanks Mikey" I hugged him with a similar grin on my face.

"Anytime 'Lex" he hugged back.

"Well anytime after 7 am! Damn let me sleep Mr. Soon to be Husband." He kicked me out, making me laugh.

I decided to first ask permission from Mr & Mrs Garcia a week ago. Even though I've charmed them I'd still like to respectfully ask their daughter's hand in marriage. I could already hear Ari in my head going 'You need permission from ME!' but I also think she'd find this cute. I'm hoping for the latter.

Mr. Garcia looked traumatized. But at the same time Mrs. Garcia started crying with happiness and had a slight panic about what colour the center- something flowers should be? No idea what that was about.

After calming her down, and some intense tea sipping, he gave me his blessings. His exact words were "well, you want to marry my daughter so you're going to need much more than my blessings, but for now you can have them!" He laughed a little shaking his head with- did I see pity in his eyes?

Next up was Oliver. He's obviously an important figure in her life. He's a big brother, a role model and her guide through life. When they heard me say the word 'marriage' Oli was shocked- similar to Mr. Garcia- or dad while Paige started squealing making her new baby Norah copy her reaction. It was the cutest squeal ever!

Two days ago I called a friends-only meeting, inviting everyone except Ariana- she was at her office anyways and told them about what I'm going to do.

That was the craziest thing I've ever seen...the level of craziness coming close to when Ariana won that Uno game.

Feyona dropped her magazine and ran across the coffee table to hug me screaming YES! At the top of her lungs. Brian kindly pulled her off me only to be attacked my Alana who started crying.

"OhMGee you are going to have so many cute babies together!" She squealed and turned to Feyona for a hug.

"I knew you have some brain in that skull, now you're finally using it! Good on you kiddo!" Brian laughed, pulling me into a bro hug.

"Your bachelor party is on me! IT'S GOING TO BE THE PARTY OF THE CENTURY!" Steve jumped on the sofa and landed on me.

"You better not hurt her Alex or I'll shoot you with my Lava gun!" Zach smiled wide and hugged me, while kicking Steve who was doing the worm on the floor.

"You did good Alex" Michael smiled, then rolled his eyes when Alana and Feyona started gushing about their bridesmaid dresses.

All that was left now...was to actually ask Ariana.

The most important thing of all.

I decided to take Ariana on a date today. I'll take her to the place where we had our first ever mission after moving here. It was a warehouse surrounded many abandoned buildings. It might've been weird but I asked the guys for help and turned it into a perfect place for a romantic night.

I lined up photos of places that held significance to us like the warehouse where Ariana guided me-almost killed me, my hou- mansion, the club where we met, etc on strings with some fairy lights around them (Alana & Paige's idea).

One last look with a satisfied grin, I went home to wait for Ari.

Ms. Soon to be my Wife

I was looking at the ring I got for her. The jeweller said it's a princess cut ring with smaller diamonds going all the way around on a gold band. It was small but sparkly just the way she liked her jewellery.

"WHO DO I HAVE TO KILL?!" Ariana barged into our room shocking me from the bang of the door.

I dropped the ring box but moved my feet to push it under the bed.

"What are you talking about babe?" I asked cautiously.

"You aren't feeling up some hoe when I'm off to work?" She looked around...sadly?

"Of course not! Why would I do that to you?" I stepped towards her to comfort her.

"Urgh how am I supposed to trust someone who doesn't cheat on me?!" She whined.

"Ari?" Just when I thought I figured her out, she does something like this. Makes me think how our married life won't ever have a full moment! Oh God I'm getting all mushy and smiley! I need to hide my thoughts.

"Nevermind..." She sighed and dropped on my chest.

"Ari"

"Umhmm?"

"I wanna take you somewhere"

"Where?!" Her head popped up, bumping my chin on the way.

"Oof! It's a surprise, woman. Now get ready in 10 I'll be waiting downstairs!" I rubbed my chin and discreetly picked up the box.

Ari got out of the car and instantly noticed the area. I wouldn't expect less from another agent. But hopefully what's inside would surprise her.

"Shhh" I moved her into the metal door and turned on the lights.

"Alex!" She gasped taking in the decoration. It didn't take long for her to notice all the photos, the food on the table, that slight music and the vibes of this room.

"Alex?" She whispered with unshed tears in her eyes.

"We've been through a lot Ari, it was fun and adventurous yet frustrating and freaky. You came into my life and now... I can't live without you." I moved her in the make shift soft light.

I got down on one knee.

"I-" she choked on her own breath.

"I loved you when we were associates, I loved you when we were friends, I love you as a boyfriend and now I'd like to l-"

"WAIT!" She stopped me.

"What's...wrong?" I asked my heart beating out of my chest.

"Are you sure? We just got into an actual relationship. I'm crazy! You're crazy! We're so crazy. I'm not the best decision maker, are you sure you want to spend your life bound to me? Do you know me? I don't even know me!"

"Ariana" I got up, taking her face in my hands.

"I know that you like to push limits but never cross them.

I know you like to give second chances unless they are too evil of a person.

I know you love to share your excitement but are scared to jinx it.

I know you love love making but are scared of love.

I know you think you are not enough, when you are the world to me.

I know you'd do anything for anyone you care about but don't expect anything in return.

I know you should be cherished and loved beyond limits, I know you are a superhuman because honey no one can go through everything and still be human. I know I love you and you love me too." I kissed her. Conveying all the words I didn't say.

"You are going to accept me with all my baggage? Specially the ones under my eyes?" She spoke, grabbing my collar.

Yes all of them, even Gucci and Prada" I chuckled.

"Okay now ask!" She kicked her foot making me bend my knee. Trust Ariana to use Martial Arts for her proposal. I couldn't stop laughing.

"Ms. Ariana Garcia, the craziest adorable piece of shít I ever met, will you marry me?!" I opened the box to reveal the ring.

"But are you-" she smirked but I cut her off.

"I just wanna hear about your day and make you cúm woman!" I growled.

"YES!" She giggled.

"A thousand times yes!" I smiled and put the ring on her finger. Grabbing her hand I pulled her down to me so I could kiss the fúck out of her.

"I love you" I hugged her.

"I love you too" she kissed me again, not being able to stop smiling.

We heard a buzzing from the table where we left our phones. She smiled and handed me mine telling me to pick up.

I caught on and masked my happiness...as difficult it was...and answered the video call.

"Hey..." I faked sadness.

On the other side I saw 10 and a half people crammed into the screen. Half being Norah.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?!" Alana whisper squealed to maintain somewhat secrecy.

"You know how she is..." I sighed behind my hand, when in reality I was trying not to laugh.

"Did you ask?" Mrs. Garcia asked.

"Did she take you seriously?" Mr. Garcia scoffed.

"Did you start pacing and stutter again?!" Michael sighed.

"Well...." I looked over at Ari expectedly.

"I SAID YES!" She jumped into my arms and laughed at the screen.

They were all still for a moment, I almost thought my screen froze until I heard the ladies squeal followed by screams from everyone.

Congratulations overflowed among the sea of wedding questions and decisions being made for us.

But I was just happy to have the woman I love in my arms, soon to be wife and have the support of my family.

Can't wait for this future.

The end.
