She had met her fiance Paul online and since they first met she knew he was the one. he had taken her to her favourite theme park for their first date and although to some this may have seemed a bit odd for a first date it was one of the most memorable days of her life. Simone had a thrill for life and lived every day to the fulll, she had been sky diving and abseiled down many of the tallest buildings in the world. Paul had entranced her with his stunning blue eyes within the very first moment they met and every touch left her tingling with excitement and love. Paul's proposal had come only 6 weeks after they had met. They had gone rock climbing and when at the top he got down on one knee and topped his proposal with the most stunning platinum 5 diamond ring. Simone felt like the luckiest woman alive. Paul was charming, good looking and his touch was as gentle as his manner. Tomorrow could not come soon enough for her liking. Simone eyed up the stunning dress she wore in the mirror the next day as she smiled at the thought that within an hour she was due to be Mrs Simone Craven. She couldn't help herself from saying it out loud as the words came so naturally, and she had a little extra surprise for Paul, but she would wait until after the ceremony. She wanted him to be the first to know as not only were they about to become husband and wife, they were soul-mates, the best of friends. As she sashayed down the aisle, friends and family looked in adoration as she held her fathers arm. There was not a dry eye in the church. Paul turned to look at her and had a tear in his eye as he mouthed 'you look beautiful' to her. Simone stood by her husband to be and recited the vows. The kiss that sealed the marriage did not seem to last long enough, although at the reception many people commented that they wondered if the newlyweds would ever come up for air. But that was just her and Paul all over, they made every kiss, every touch as if it was their last. Just one more thing to do to make everything perfect, to tell Paul her secret. She took him to one side just before his speech and told him that he was going to be a father. Just as she soaked in his smile she heard a loud ringing in her ears. It was the alarm clock. Simone sighed as she looked at the empty space beside her in bed. Maybe today she would tell Paul how she felt about him. If only they were not both so shy maybe the wedding of her dreams, the spectacular proposal would all be a reality one day. Until then she would continue to work beside her long term crush in the hope that he will make the first move. It was so obvious to Simone that they were meant to be, it was just waiting for the right time to tell him.
