I'm working on a short romance story, Nikki's Hope, and thought I'd share a brief excerpt from it.
"Bees?" Kyle says, glancing at me. "I'd forgotten about the bees." He chuckles and shakes his head.
"You can laugh," I nudge my shoulder against his. "You weren't the one they stung."
"I remember," he whispers. "They got you here," Kyle leans over and brushes a kiss against my cheek. "And here," he brushes one on my shoulder, his lips lingering against my skin. "And here," he kisses the knuckles of my left hand. Then he runs his thumb over the spot he just kissed. "I remember every moment with you. From the moment I saw you, sitting at the back of the room to now. I've known the entire time that you were it. you are everything I could ever need."
Kyle slips off the bench and down to one knee. He keep sold of my left hand, and looks up at me. "You take my breath away every time I see you. I want to wake up every day and open my eyes to see you beside me. Will you marry me, Nikki? Will you spend the rest of your life taking my breath away?"
