Chapter 1
Sharon Kennedy smiled as she checked herself in the mirror. She had tied her long wavy brown hair back, her brown eyes sparkling with delight. She was clad in a knee length pink dress with spaghetti straps and a pair of pink flats. There was a knock at the door; her mother, Lindsey Kennedy, entered.
"Hey sweetie, you ready?" She asked. Sharon nodded.
"Yeah, can't wait for this mom, Yuri won't say why he's taking me out...only that it's important."
Lindsey smiled at her twenty-one year old daughter. She knew why Yuri was taking Sharon out to dinner; she couldn't wait to hear what her daughter's reaction would be. It was then the doorbell rang and Sharon suddenly became flustered. "Oh god, he's here, mom I..."
Lindsey smiled and placed her hands on her daughter's shoulders.
"It's okay Sharon, calm down, deep breath...Now; off you go, enjoy yourself."
Sharon calmed down and smiled, she then headed downstairs. Her father Ed Kennedy was talking to her boyfriend. Twenty one year old Yuri Korzhakov was smiling as he talked to Ed. Yuri was from Russia and still carried quite a strong accent; something Sharon loved. He was tall with short, stylishly messy black hair, black eyes and tan skin. He was dressed in a dark and rather stylish suit. He looked up when Sharon walked in and smiled. He stood up and walked over to her. He kissed her and they smiled together.
"Hey, you ready?" He asked, Sharon nodded and he nodded. "Let's go."
She nodded and, as they were walking out Ed called after them. "Don't you two stay out too late."
They both smiled at each other and got in Yuri's car; he then drove them out of the driveway.
Sharon felt her anxiety bubbling up again and fought to keep it under control.
"So..." She began anxiously. "Where...Where are we going?"
Yuri smiled. "It's a surprise Sharon, don't worry, we're nearly there."
She nodded but was still nervous; until finally he parked the car.
"Here we are." He said as he got out.
She looked out and was amazed. It was the most beautiful restaurant she had ever seen. Yuri opened her door and held out his hand. She took it and got out; he closed the door and locked the car. They then walked towards the doors. Standing at the door was a dark suited man; he straightened up as they approached.
"Do you have a reservation?" He asked. Yuri nodded.
"Yes, table for two, under the name Korzhakov."
The man nodded and led them inside and led them to their table. Sharon gasped; the table was decorated nicely with everything set up perfectly. They sat down and she smiled widely at her boyfriend.
"Yuri; it's beautiful."
He smiled back. "Thank you, I wanted it to be perfect for you."
She blushed slightly at that and lowered her head bashfully. Finally she looked back up and they gave their orders.
While they sat Yuri shifted nervously in his seat slightly.
'I can do this.' He told himself, 'I'm ready, there's nothing else I'd rather want...I know all that. I'm just nervous, that's normal.'
Sharon briefly excused herself to visit the bathroom. As she did Yuri spoke to the waiter, who smiled and agreed to the plan, he left just before Sharon came back. After enjoying their meal for a while, the waiter came through with his part in the plan and Yuri was ready to make his move. As Sharon raised her glass to drink she noticed something sparkling in it. She stopped and managed to fish it out. She stared in shock and amazement at the object. It was a beautiful silver ring, set with a brilliant gemstone. Yuri had got out of his seat and was kneeling in front of her; he took her hands, now also holding the ring. He was smiling widely and looked happier than she had ever seen him.
"Sharon, I've had a lot of time to think, and there is no one else I would rather be with for the rest of my life." He told her, before saying the words she had been waiting to hear. "Sharon Kennedy, will you marry me?"
Her vision blurred as tears formed in her eyes and the surge of emotion threatened to consume her completely. Through the tears she was able to choke out her answer.
"Yes."
Yuri slipped the ring on her finger and they then kissed. Once they separated they finished their meal, Yuri insisted on paying for it, and they headed outside. They called home to their parents with the good news and, once they were done they got in the car.
"We're going to your place." He told her. "Everybody's there, they wanna congratulate us and start making wedding plans."
Sharon smiled and nodded and Yuri started up the car and drove them home.
