I had met Allison "Sonny" Munroe 10 months ago and had fell in love immediately. Turns out, the feeling was mutual and Sonny and I had now been dating for 9 months now. With that, I had decided that I wanted to marry her. I was a male nurse and she was a primary school teacher. When I finished work at 3 o'clock, I quickly made my way to Sonny's school, the ring secure in my pocket. I watched Sonny teach through the window and grinned when she turned around and saw me. She showed me five fingers and winked before turning back to her class. Sure enough, five minutes later, Sonny came running towards me and embraced me in a kiss.
'It's not very often you come and pick me up from work Chad.' She grinned against my lips and I smirked.
'Well, I got off early today because I was wondering if you...' I started and suddenly her phone rang and she bit her lip.
'Honey, do you mind?' she asked and I broke away from her and shook my head, feeling slightly rejected. Sonny picked up the phone and spoke into it for a couple of minutes before hanging up and looking at me.
'That was my sister; she's just got engaged and was wondering if we wanted to go to Miami. Of course, if we did then we would stay with my mum and dad and Emma would come and visit with Tom. It would also give you the chance to meet my parents because, even though I've blabbed on and on about you, you still...'
I pressed a finger to her lips and shook my head smiling, 'you talk too much Sonny, of course I'd love to meet your parents.' I grinned before kissing her softly, 'I love you so much.'
'I love you too Chad.' She giggled as I spun her around and together we walked down the street, arms around each other's waist.

A week later, we were all packed and I had realised that to make a good impression on Sonny's parents, therefore I was going to ask Sonny's dad if I could marry his daughter. It would be perfect, and then I would be able to show him that I truly respected his daughter. I slipped the ring in my suitcase and smiled at the thought that hopefully it would be on Sonny's finger. After we had checked out our luggage, we sat on the plane.
Sonny squeezed the armrests as we took off and I looked at her.
'Sonny, you know you can always hold my hand right.' I said and she looked up at me.
'I don't know what I'd do without you Chad Dylan Cooper.' She murmured into my shoulder, latching her death grip onto my hand, but as soon as we were in the air, we were fine. The flight to Miami didn't take too long and on our descent, Sonny snuggled into my chest as I sang to her softly and quietly in her ear, planting little kisses here and there. When we came to the luggage area, Sonny picked up her cute yellow suitcase and sat down.
'Now to wait for yours,' She grinned and I grinned back, slightly worried as it had been 15 minutes since we had left the plane and if my luggage had been lost it would be an utter disaster! After half an hour, I marched straight towards customer services and slammed my fist on the desk.
'Where is my luggage!'
'What flight were you on sir?'
'I don't know, the one that arrived 45 minutes ago from Detroit!' I cried and the incompetent woman looked on her computer screen. I was vaguely aware that Sonny was running towards me.
'Sir...'
'You don't understand – I HAVE to have that bag! It's got the ring which I'm going to propose to my girlfriend with!' I cried and the woman looked at me.
'Sir, we will do the best we can to find your bag and if you will just fill out a form and contact number and we will contact you as soon as we find your bag.' She said, sliding a form towards me. I took it just as Sonny came over.
'Don't run off like that Chad!'
'I'm sorry Sonny, it's just I'm annoyed!' I growled, filling in the details, 'what's your parents address babe?' I asked and she sighed and wrote it down for me before I signed it, filled in the small description box and handed back. 'Find it or I'll sue.' I hissed at her as we left. So far, this was NOT turning out to be a good start to the weekend.
