I didn't imagine that I will be this contented and happy just for loving someone. A wide spread of genuine smile is plastered on my face as I look down on the intertwined fingers of us both.

Ransom 'trust fund prick' Drysdale-my child hood bestfriend. His family is very against between the two of us knowing that I may had lost my bright future because of him at because of our age gap which is only 1 year that they always make a big fuss.

I did graduate 4 years ago and I am starting to pave my way to the top, on the ground without any help from the parents who takes care at me when I was a child.

Ransom and I are very different person. I do work and he didn't, he's not always reliant on his grand father's wealth but he's a little spoiled whilst I am not but when it comes to showing love and effort-Ransom always outshine me in anything he does.

But it never occur to my mind to judge him or left him behind. Ransom craves and lacked some love from his parents since then. He didn't had a happy childhood memories with them and when some times he did, it's always with me.

He stopped from college on hsi 4th years which makes me sad and upset at the sametime. It may didn't less the love that I felt to him but I does makes my anger to his parents to be more a lot.

By insulting from his own parents, Ransom got discouraged on what he's doing and he pour everything he does in spending money.

"Wow! Ransom, this is such a nice place..."

My eyes abruptly widen when I saw the huge but simple bamboo house with a curtain around the both sides to make it looks like a wall. Whilst the curtains dance in the air, the music bursted on the place but the thing caught my attention is Ransom in beside me, who is now staring at me fondly.

"Do you remember the word, I always says to you before?"

My heart started to loudly thump and hot tears are almost streaming down my cheeks, Ransom smirks at me-reaching my chin a little to touched my face.

📌Sweet Shell Arts and Music School
📌5 years old

Flying kites. Running bikes. Rocking slides. Sounds of laughter and crowds of kids with wide smile in their lips. I look around the room, trying to find the place where I think that I belong. Being a 5 year old kid, everyone thought that life is easy and sweet but it is not-not to me but to my bestfriend Ransom.

Ransom had a scary and terrifying parents. My bestfriend always get scolded by her own Mom and Dad everytime they are alone, that's why I always try not to leave him behind-no matter what circumtances it is.

"Ransom! Hey! Ransom!" I jump happily on the ground with both hands on the air waving when I spotted him but I don't think that Ransom saw me because his head was dipped on the book he has and Ransom looks sad at the same time.

Getting worried that he got hitted again by his parents, I immediately throw my self in a run on the bench that is not so far on my direction.

"Ransom..." with both hands in my bended knees I glance up at Ransom, who is now gazing at me sadly-eyes and nose are red from an obvious crying he had earlier.

The older kid beside me, blink his eyes before gaving me the handkerchief that he should suppose to use. "You're now sweaty Y/n," Ransom pointed out before helping me out to sit next to him. "You shouldn't run that fast again, you might end up hurting your self at the process. Okay?"

I pouted a little, shaking my head in disaproval. "But I saw you crying," I reasoned out. "And I hate, seeing you like this. Did your evil parents hurt you again? You didn't deserve to be hurt, you're a prince... Ransom."

Ransom chuckles on my word before tightly capturing my cheeks. Gaving me a kiss on the tip of teh nose. "Even so, I don't care if you ran because of it. Just like you Y/n, I hated to see my little Princess getting hurt."

"My parents aren't monster, Ransom. They don't hurt me and yours causes you a lot of pain. You know, if you want to... you can live with us."

"Is this kind of proposal to me little Y/n?"

I laugh at his comment, waving my hands off my cheeks to hide the fluster. "Y-You know that I didn't mean to-"

"I do also want to marry you,"

I was caught off guard, staring at the blue orbs that are staring back to me. I can fully see that he is sincere but we're only a kindergarten that we both know nothing unlike the barbies and cars.

"We're just kids Ransom, we're young."

Ransom touches my cheeks and shrugged his shoulder off. "Then, we'll do it when we're old enough."

📌Drysdale's house hold
📌15 years old

I sat down next to Ransom as the bed sink. Friday night it is and I got a phone call from Grandfather Harlan that Ransom was alone in their house as he was out of the country for the business and if he goes home right now he cannot evenmake it in time to help his grandson.
As usual the parents of my bestfriend is out in a party, leaving their son without anyone to rely on. I was amd at Ransom for not calling me but my concern over flowed that I didn't yell at him for being stubborn.

One of the hard thing for Ransom to do is opening-up. He may talks a lot and says alot about his situation on me but I can still feel that he is holding back his words when it comes to his needs.

Ransom is scared that he could only brings me a problem and bother. He was far from it and I hate him thinking like those. I wanted to take care of him just liek he takes care of me, so even it's almost 8 in the evening-I really did go to check him.

"You does really need to eat something, Ran." I sigh, trying to urge him more to take care of his self, "Harlan told me that you haven't eat anything since earlier. I am truly worried about you and I amy do not point it out. I was still mad on you being secretive."

I felt a warm touches on my hand as I look on the most handsome face I've ever seen my entire life. Ransom is paler then usual and his eyes are fluttery tired even his typical pink lips is red and lump.

"I am sorry if I did worry you, Y/n." is what he said before squeezing my hands three times again, "But I don't want to be burden to you." he sigh, "You are supposed to be with your parents having a sweet meal with them as all of you chat in happiness."

I curled my body on his bed, putting the tray that are full of food on the bedside drawer. I hook my right hand on his hair and I run my hands on it, stroking every inch of his brown soft bristle.

"You should really stop being so stubborn and started to listen on my words instead."

Ransom nodded pulling the hand that I use to stroke his hair to gave a peck of kiss on my knuckle. "Thankyou, sweetheart." he softly smile as I return a fond smile to him. "You sounded like a grown-up woman,"

I raises my brow when I realize the tone that he is using. "Stop it, Ransom." I sternly said before frowning but the boy beside me only smirks.

"And I feel like wanting to marry you more." He confidently spoke, "So beautiful, so caring... Y/n is so perfect for me,"

📌Church near the lake
📌18 years old

Ransom and I get out on the church with intertwined fingers. We just witness someone getting married and the man beside me is talking about in non-stop.

"So, where do you want to get married?" Ransom suddenly ask in nowhere when we're about to ride his car.

With suspicion forming on my face, I tried so hard to not say a word that I would regret telling. Ransom and I are being united again after a year of being not with ecah other.

Ransom is now a 2nd year college whilst I'm in my 1st year. When he left our hometown to move to around school, the two fo us really get emotional especially that Ransom begins to get busy when he started college.

I was even suprise when he made some time to see me even he's busy. I thought that he already found a better woman for him, a girl with the same age of him. A woman who's always in his side knowing that I am not there anymore to fill the hole, I left.

"That's an odd question to ask Ransom." I plainly stated as he looks at me like crazy, like I am the only girl who doesn't have any dreams of my wedding. Ransom is obviously not satisfied on my words and I know taht he wouldn't stop bothering me if I don't give him a proper answer. "I am not picky. I want to marry in any place my husband wants to, even if it only means that its on the middle of the street,"

Ransom nodded to me, putting his one arm on my shoulder. "Well, I am not that bad fiancee." he started up, "I'll give you a best wedding sweet heart, I'll marry you and make you the happiest among all."

"Y/n..." dropping on his one knee, Ransom pulled out a gold band ring with three small diamonds on it, "Sweet heart, I may always casually says that I'll marry you but this time, I'll do it in a proper way."

Ransom clears his throat, looking deeply unto my eyes. "Some didn't believe about soulmates and I was one of them. I grow-up seeing how my parents treated each other. I hated it as I started not to believe in love but when you came and show affection on me, the little heart of young me was captured by you and I was smitten since then. Y/n Evans... will you marry me?"

Wiping my tears awya from my eyes, I nodded repeatedly. Placing my left hand on the air as Ransom slid his ring on my ring finger.

"You really are making an effort to make me cry Ransom," I stated and my boyfriend-ex-fiancee chuckles, "Even you do crazy things, I still love you."

"Even you're complaining, I would still do crazy things for you Y/n... because, I am inlove with you... since before,"
