The sun hung high and golden over Maui, casting a warm glow that made the ocean sparkle like a bed of diamonds. I tried to steady my breath, fingers tightening briefly around my snorkeling mask. Today was the day I was finally going to propose to Beyoncé. Later tonight, under the vast, star-filled sky by the water, everything would change.
For weeks, I'd been obsessively planning every little detail, wanting it to be perfect, wanting her to feel how deeply loved and cherished she truly was. But the hardest part was keeping her distracted all day, keeping her out of the rental without making her suspicious. I wanted her to relax, to enjoy the day with family, laughing, making memories, while I prepared everything quietly behind the scenes.
Right now, we were snorkeling at Molokini Crater, a crescent-shaped volcanic caldera just off the coast. The water was impossibly clear, and vibrant fish of every color and shape swirled around us like underwater dancers. Beyoncé's face was pure awe... eyes wide, lips parting in wonder as she floated gracefully, letting the ocean carry her weightless body.
Nearby, Blue laughed and splashed, her carefree joy reminding me how lucky we all were to have this moment together. Solange, Mama Tina, and the others were chatting nearby, their voices soft beneath the sounds of the sea.
I stole a glance at Beyoncé, her long hair fanning out behind her like a golden halo. She caught my eye and smiled that slow, heart-melting smile I'd fallen so deeply in love with. I felt my heart swell as I watched her breathe in the salty air, completely at peace.
Without thinking, I reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair from her face, my fingers lingering on her cheek. She leaned into my touch, eyes closing briefly. I pressed my lips softly to hers, tasting the salt and the sweetness of this perfect day. Her skin felt warm beneath my fingertips, and when she pulled back just enough to look into my eyes, I saw the spark... the same nervous excitement I felt inside.
The moments between us were small but electric... stolen kisses between laughter and waves, gentle touches that said what words couldn't. I wanted to freeze time, hold her close forever. But the day was far from over.
After snorkeling, we lounged poolside, soaking in the sun. Beyoncé rested her head on my shoulder, whispering how beautiful the day was and how lucky she felt. I told her the best was yet to come, and she smiled knowingly, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on my arm.
Throughout the afternoon, I checked in quietly with Solange and Mama Tina they were handling decorations and setting up the surprise at the beach rental, transforming the area into a private oasis with fairy lights, candles, and flowers. Blue was in on the secret too, bouncing with excitement every time she caught me looking her way.
As the sun dipped lower, casting a soft pink glow over the island, I felt my nerves buzz again. Tonight, I would finally tell Beyoncé how much she meant to me and how she was my everything, my forever.
I looked over at her now, laughing with Blue as they played in the shallow water, her eyes sparkling like the ocean. I knew she was about to be surprised in ways she never expected, and I couldn't wait to see the joy on her face.
This day was just beginning, but my heart was already racing with anticipation. Tonight, would be unforgettable, a moment we'd carry with us forever.
That night, the entire beach glowed like a dream pulled from a romance film. The ocean whispered against the shore under the moonlight, its surface shimmering like molten silver. The warm breeze carried the faint scent of orchids and roses... flowers that lined the path like soft whispers of love.
Candles flickered everywhere in tall glass holders, floating in lanterns, and surrounding the heart-shaped design in the sand. White and blush rose petals covered the walkway, leading from the edge of the deck down to the candlelit table that waited by the water. Overhead, strings of warm lights stretched between palm trees, their glow dancing like tiny stars. The entire setup radiated intimacy and magic.
