Nathaniel

It had been quite a few years since Candy and Nathaniel graduated from Sweet Amoris and they had just finished collage. In fact, not that Candy wasn't hoping for it, she was surprised their relationship survived the many years, what had started off as shy greetings and holding hands had become a true and beautiful partnership.

Candy and Nathaniel had put quite a bit of thought in what they wished to do after collage, in the end they both decided to become teachers in Nathaniel's case he had applied for a high school teachership, while Candy, with her love for children, had been more taken to apply for a kindergarten teachership.

One day Candy and Nathaniel decided on going on a date, to celebrate their job acceptances, and, unfortunately for Candy, Nathaniel had both planned the date and decided to keep the destination a secret.

Which meant she had to wait.

She hated waiting.

"Naaaatty! Where are we gooooing?!" Candy whined.

"*chuckles* Candy, whining won't get you anywhere, you'll just have to wait and see." Nathaniel said smiling.

"Oh, I have to wait do I?" Candy smirked.

"Yeah, you do." Nathaniel spoke, completely oblivious of her tone.

well, Candy thought, oblivious as ever.

"But what if I used...other methods...would I still have to wait?" Candy said in a suggestive voice, her smirk widening.

Nathaniel's eyes widened and he blushed heavily, no they had not done that yet, but that never stopped Candy from teasing him and touching him, even though both Nathaniel and Candy were older, Nathaniel was still as innocent and naïve as ever, Candy...

Not so much.

"N-no. Besides...I'm driving!"

Candy laughed as a part of her internally sighed, she knew lots of girls like her wished the guy was more or less the pants of that particular relationship, of course she knew she shouldn't take it to heart, that it was just Nathaniel being shy but she couldn't help but think that he thought her undesirable, that she wasn't attractive. She didn't like that.

Not at all.

"Well were here." Nathaniel said pulling her from her thoughts.

"Nathaniel...what are we doing here at Sweet Amoris?"

Indeed, Nathaniel's planned destination was in fact their old high school, Sweet Amoris.

"Just come on." Nathaniel stated, holding his hand out to her.

Smiling, yet still confused she took his offered hand and he led her through the halls, and it being deserted because it was summer break.

Candy and Nathaniel walked the empty halls, tinted a slight orange being the sun would set soon.

"So many memories here..." Candy whispered, day dreaming of them.

"Yeah, do you remember when you put fake spiders into Amber's locker, and when she opened it she screamed and went running down the hall?" Nathaniel said chuckling, a soft tone in his voice.

"Hehe...I bet you could hear her miles away!" Candy giggled joining in.

"And when Amber dumped the water on Deborah?" Nathaniel laughed again.

"She looked like a wet dog!" Candy laughed harder.

Candy was silent for a moment before speaking, "And when you stopped Amber from hitting me...you were like, a knight shining armour."

Candy looked at Nathaniel with a soft look in eyes, smiling brightly, a look which made Nathaniel blush.

"A knight always comes for his damsel in distress!" Nathaniel smiled.

"Oh but I'm no damsel in distress!" Candy exclaimed playfully.

"Oh really?" Nathaniel said raising a brow, an amused tone in his voice.

"Yes, I do believe this damsel can defend herself just fine thank you!" Candy said cheerfully.

"Well we'll see about that!-Ump!" Nathaniel suddenly swept Candy off her feet.

"Eep!" Candy said shocked.

And with that Nathaniel ran, with his beautiful damsel in distress in his arms, where he always wanted her.

Only when Nathaniel had put her down, did Candy realise where she was, the roof of the school.

the sun was setting creating a beautiful scenic view as it shone over the city.

"Oh Nathan, it's beautiful!" Candy gasped at the sight.

"And I thought-" Nathaniel started, "Why not accommodate a view, with a feast?"

Candy looked over to see a pink gingham picnic blanket with a basket, wine, two glasses and two plates set on top it.

By the time they were finished, the sun had set over the horizon and the stars were out and shining.

"Nathaniel, thank you so much, everything was so wonderful!" Candy smiled.

"Only the best for you Candy." Nathaniel returned her smile in jest.

Candy looked up to the sky to she a star climb across the heavens.

"Nathaniel look!" Candy exclaimed, "Make a wish!"

They both closed their eyes, and after a few moments opened them.

"Sooo, what did you wish for?" Candy asked excitedly.

"You tell me first!" Nathaniel said laughing.

"Ok ok! On the count of three we both say our wish!" Candy suggested.

"Ok, one." Nathaniel started

"Two..."

"Three...!"

"I wished we could be together forever!" / "I wished we could be together forever!"

They both looked up from shutting their eyes, surprised, then, Nathaniel slowly smiled.

"Then I feel reassured..."

"Huh?"

Nathaniel look her hands and led her to the edge of the roof and spoke;

"Candy, over a long time I have been contemplating on how to say this to you, yet no amount of gifts, restaurants or luxury dates seemed to suffice, I wanted this moment to be special, so that years later we could look back on this as the spot of two of our most special memories took place one, asking you on a date, the other-"

Nathaniel slowly bent down on one knee, Candy had a look of astonishment on her face, her hands over her mouth.

"Candy, I want to move in together, spend the rest of our lives together, nothing would make me happier then to wake up with you by my side, So, Cadence Costello Kyting.."

Nathaniel put a hand in his pocket lifting up a small red velvet box to reveal a simple silver ring.

"Will you marry me?"

Candy burst in a fit of giggles and hugged Nathaniel fiercely.

"Yes! Yes! A million times yes!"

Candy pulled Nathaniel closer, kissing him passionately, Nathaniel kissed her back, and after a few moments Nathaniel broke away and slid the ring onto her ring finger, holding both her hands in his.

"Cadence Costello Anderson, that has a nice ring to it don't you think?"

"Yes... I rather think it does..." Candy said softly pulling him into another soft, passionate kiss.

Cadence Costello Anderson, It had a nice ring to it indeed.
