Dominant Professor

And suddenly it’s happening, he’s on his knee in front of me.
“Olivia, you are the one thing in my life that makes me stop needing more. You’re it. You’re everything. When I’m with you, I have more than anyone in the entire world. Will you marry me?”
He opens a box and the diamond is huge, reflecting the light of the stars and sky, brilliant as he reaches forward.
“Yes, yes, yes Bruce, yes,” I say, the giddiness lifting my voice a few octaves. I didn’t expect this, not in a million years but it is perfect. He slides the ring onto my finger and stands and we kiss in the silence of the ocean, two souls where no one else can see us, the moment stretching out in perfection. His lips against mine, every instant both endless and done too quick, the feel of his hands on my cheeks and the cool wind against me solidifying in my mind.
Welcome to the rest of my life.
