I came to see her daddy, for a sit down man to man. It wasn't any secret, I'd be asking for her hand

"Alright Max, i need to ask you something" i felt myself shake with fear of rejection from him but i was sure as hell not going to show it.

He had led me to the living room with a slight smile of realization. "I'll be back in a minute" and then he left.

I think he knew, maybe that's why he left me waiting, In the living room by myself. With at least a dozen pictures of her, sitting on a shelf. I had seen then loads of times before, but as i got closer to the picture of Abigail Branning dressed as cinderella, riding her first bike, bouncing on her bed hitting her sister with a pillow, running through the sprinkler with a big popsicle grin on her face and dancing with her dad looking up at him.

I ran my hands over the frame knowing that In her eyes I'm Prince Charming, But to him I'm just some fella taking his cinderella away from him.

I leaned in towards the pictures i had seen a dozen times before, to get a better look. When i heard a voice behind me "ain't she something?"

I turned around to spot Max with a can of beer in his hand. I said, "Yeah, she's quite a woman" And he just stared at me.

Then I realized that in his eyes, she would always be the little girl in the pictures.

"I came here to ask you something actually" i rubbed the back of my neck feeling swet on the back of my neck.

He just took a seat on the arm of the sofa and looked at me, his smile turning into a straight thin line.

"I want your permission" oh god this was harder than i thought. "To ask for Abis hand in marriage" there it was out now, i'm going to get a beaten now, after all i'm only 22 and she's 20. Some people would consider that to be rather young.

I took a deep breath with my eyes closed only to feel max slap me on the shoulder.

"AbI, Come in here for a second" Then he called her in the room.

She came into the room with a grin on her face and i knew that was my cue. I took Abis hand in mine with Max still watching as i got down on one knee, Abis eyes differed from mines to her dads.

"Abi Branning, i love you so much. When I met you I could not have imagined what our relationship would turn into, or how much you could mean to me, I promise to never leave you alone, and to be with you for your entire life, through good times and bad. I'll always be there for you, and give of myself whatever I must in order to make you happy, and keep you safe. I'll love you forever. Will you marry me?" I opened the box that showed the beautiful diamond ring. Abi just leapt into my arms, wrapping her arms around me and squealing "Yes"

Max was smiling as well at the happy sight and when she pulled away from me, i placed the ring on her finger and she turned around and threw her arms around her dad. Leaving me looking back at the photos with a smile.

I couldn't blame max if he gave me a hard time after all i'm the one stealing his little girl, his cinderella.
