Simon's Proposal
There was a gorgeous Chipette walking down the isle, she was wearing a splendid white dress that shown with radiance that was blinding the chipmunk. His jaw dropped when he saw her stunning beauty as if she was an angel from heaven, all she needed was a halo. The best man (Alvin) jabbed Simon in the ribs to bring him out of his state of shock that had been brought on when he saw Jeanette. But it didn't even faze Simon since he was in a deep trance as he remembered the day that he popped the question.
It was a warm summer's morning and he was just leaving the Star Registry building feeling quite confident that everything was going to work out perfectly. Today was there two year anniversary since they started dating; it was hard to believe that it had been two years already.
I want to make sure its going to be the perfect day, he thought as he got into his car. Simon was still worried that something was going to go wrong but he made up his mind it was now or never. That is why he was going to make sure that nothing major could go wrong. He headed out of town to a secluded spot that was far away and had an open field; when he got there he checked it out thoroughly making sure it would be perfect. He set up his new digital telescope which he had bought in preparation for this night which had been in the planning stages for the past three months. He wanted to do this sooner but he could never gather enough courage and when he would the mood/setting wasn't right. He didn't want it to be plain or ordinary he wanted it to be something that they would remember for the rest of their lives.
He plugged in the coordinates of the star that he had chosen to name after Jeanette, he knew he couldn't actually see it in the day light but he wanted to program the location into the telescopes memory. As he peered through it he put his hand in his front right pocket of his jeans and tapped his fingers on the small velvet box that was there. He was ecstatic that he had finally saved up enough money to buy the perfect ring, it was a very rare gem indeed and it was all his to give to the love of his life.
He looked down at his watch "Oh crap he thought realizing that he still had to go home, shower, change and make sure Alvin knew how to hook up his telescope without breaking it.
He quickly broke down the telescope and jumped into his car and sped away towards his home. Actually it was their home now, ever since Dave decided that he wanted to give the guys some space. His two brothers lived there while they were going to college, and since they didn't have to pay rent allowed them to sock away what little money they managed to make with their part time jobs.
Simon practically kicked down the door he was in so much of a hurry.
"Whoa there, where's the fire at little brother?" Alvin said when Simon came in.
"I can't be late for my date with Jeanette! This is supposed to be the night, remember?" He said in excitement at the beginning and then his voice got a little gruff when he realized Alvin had forgotten as usual.
"Oh that's right, weren't you going to show me how to set up your telescope?" he replied finally remembering his deal with Simon.
"Yes, I will teach you right after I make a quick phone call to the restaurant to make sure we are still on for tonight, I would look stupid if we went there and we couldn't get in!" Simon said clearly stressed from all the pressure he was putting himself under.
The phone rang and rang and rang, finally someone answered, "Hello I am calling to see if are reservations are still good? You should look under Simon Seville." There was the sound of paper being shifted around and the voice replied "you are still on for tonight."
Simon sighed in relief that at least this part of his plan for the perfect evening was still in tact.
Simon quickly taught Alvin how to setup the telescope, however he couldn't help bet feel that Alvin was going to find someway to mess it all up. But he didn't have time to think about it to hard as he made a mad dash up the stairs and into the shower. The hot water washing over his tense body felt great, he had lost track of time but when heard the hall clock hammering out the 6 o'clock bells.
"Aw crap! I have to pick Jeanette up at seven tonight. I still need to get dressed, comb my hair and pick up a dozen pink carnations all before I pick her up. He jumped out of the shower and ran down the hallway into his bedroom where he had laid out the clothes he was going to wear that night. He had decided that he was going to wear his dark blue tux; it was a dark sky blue with a solid white vest. When he was finished dressing he looked like Mr. Heart throb himself and would knock Jeanette out of the park. He combed his hair as best he could but no matter how hard he tried it just wouldn't stay down, and after a few minutes of this he just gave up.
He bolted from the house and slid into his car and took off down the road to pick up the pink carnations that he had already bought earlier that day. He pulled up in front of Jeanette's house two minutes 'til 7 seven, walked up to the door and rang the door bell.
Brittany answered the door and asked Simon to come in while he was waiting for Jeanette to come down. It wasn't long before he was able to see his fair Chipette; she was so gorgeous, beautiful, awe inspiring and lovely that Simon's mind went completely blank. He had no presence of mind to stand up and give her the flowers he had gotten just for her. It seemed like a lifetime that Simon was staring starry eyed at the Chipette, who was wearing a light sky blue dress, her lovely purple glasses and a slight hint of make up to bring out her luscious sapphire blue eyes.
He wasn't the only one who was staring though, Jeanette was examining Simon with a fine tooth comb admiring how well he had cleaned up, her eyes locked on his messy hair, and smiled to herself knowing that it never wanted to stay put. She then looked into his bluish gray eyes, and saw into his soul all the love he had in his heart directed towards her, what he couldn't say out loud was said through his eyes.
Jeanette regained control "Are those flowers for me Simon?" her voice sounded melodious like that of an angels.
"Oh, yeah, I um got them specially for you," he said stumbling over his words as she broke the spell that she had put him in "we should get going, don't want to miss our reservations for that new restaurant, do we?"
When they were outside Simon put his arm out and Jeanette interlocked her arm in his as he escorted her to his car. Simon being the gentleman he was opened the door for her then got into the driver seat. They didn't drive very long before they arrived at the new restaurant, to Jeanette's surprise it was the one that Eleanor and Theodore had opened a couple of weeks ago and was packed since day one.
"How were you able to get us into this place?" Jeanette said very surprised and excited.
"Lets just I have connections on the inside." Simon said a sly smile creeping across his face.
As they went in they were promptly seated and a waiter came and took their order. To this day Simon cannot remember what it was that he ate or what they actually talked about but he figured that it had something to do with knowledge and school. But he didn't really care what they ate or talked about as long as he was with his girl, Jeanette.
Simon did remember asking to be excused from the table to make a quick call which he needed to make.
"Pick up the phone Alvin!" Simon thought. "It's about time, are you setting up the telescope?"
"Oh, yeah, right, I am doing that right now." Alvin said trying to hide the fact that he had forgotten.
"I knew it, I knew you were going to forget, that is why I called." Simon said a little frustrated.
"Don't worry Si; I'll have it ready by the time you leave the restaurant." He replied trying to calm Simon down.
"You'd better or I am going to demand a full refund plus interest." Simon said threateningly as he hung up.
"Who were you calling Simon?" Jeanette asked
"I was calling back about an internship that I was offered the other day," Simon fibbed.
"Isn't it a little late to be calling?" she replied
"Yes it is but I haven't gotten a response from them all day every time I call, I want them to know that I tried as often and frequently as possible so they can't deny I didn't try." Simon actually started to believe it almost as much as Jeanette did.
When they were finished with the meal it was dark outside just like Simon had planned on. He once again opened Jeanette's car door, but when he went over to his door he jammed his hand into his pocket and felt around for the velvet box to make sure he had it with him. He felt it and a slight smile crept across his face.
"I am going to take you star gazing if you don't mind Jeanette." Simon asked hopefully.
"No I don't I am looking forward to seeing the stars tonight. They look wonderful tonight." She said amused at the offer Simon had made.
"Well I just got a new digital telescope. It will allow us to program the coordinates of our favorite locations in the night sky." Simon said his eyes gleaming mischievously.
When they got to the spot Simon pulled out a blanket from the trunk of his car and placed it down on the ground, near where Alvin had set up the telescope.
"Hey Jeanette, I want you to take a look at this star that I found the other day." Simon said as he pressed a button and the telescope began going to the programmed star.
When it had finally found the correct position it stopped moving and Jeanette looked into the eyepiece, and began admiring how beautiful the star was. She failed to notice what Simon was doing, he had pulled out a box from his pocket and bent down on one knee with the box open revealing a diamond ring. This wasn't any old diamond though, it was known as a sapphire diamond one of the rarest of them all. Simon had chosen it because it went so well her Jeanette's blue eyes.
"What's the name of this star Simon?" Jeanette asked inquisitively.
"Its name is Jeanette." Simon said with confidence. "Jeanette you are my shinning star, my guiding light, You shine so bright it's insane, you put the sun to shame, Jeanette Miller will you marry me?" Simon asked as his heart began to slow down as a love song came to mind by K-Ci and JoJo, All my Life.
There was complete silence, Jeanette didn't say a word, "Oh no, she's going to say no! Oh my gosh what a fool I am, she doesn't feel the same way I do." Simon thought. His mind began drowning with thoughts and fears of rejection.
What Simon failed to see was how Jeanette's eyes began to glow brighter than ever before.
"Yes Simon I will marry you!" Jeanette practically screamed it for the entire world to hear.
"What was that you said?" Simon asked confused and unsure of what had just taken place.
"Simon I accept your offer. I will marry you!" With that Jeanette tackled Simon and kissed him which so much passion and ferocity it startled Simon.
Once he regained his senses he embraced Jeanette and deepened the kiss is that was even possible, finally they broke apart panting for air.
Bam, cough, "What was that for Alvin?" Simon said in a harsh voice as his head was clearing out his flashback.
"Dude its your wedding and you need to be here instead of in space or cloud nine or where ever you were just a minute ago. You will have the rest of your life to spend up there but you need to come back to earth and get married." Alvin told him trying to sound very knowledgeable.
OK well as you can see it is not finished, however I am going to let you the reader/reviewer try and persuade me to continue writing. This was only supposed to be a one shot story so I have no clue where it is supposed to go from here.
If you want me to continue I will need reviews and ideas, this is my first ever real and true romantic story to date. I am sorry if it wasn't as good as others but that is why "I NEED YOU" to review and let me know how it was!
