"Wow! Alex this is so fancy!" Jo squealed as soon as they walked in the restaurant and squeezed the hand she was holding.
"Well I make an effort for a special girl." Alex said scratching the back of his neck as he looked at her in awe.
"Aww I love you. I'm glad I'm that special girl." She said truthfully looking back at him with a genuine smile playing on her lips.
"I love you too Jo." He replied as they reached their table and sat down.
They ordered wine and their food but somehow Jo was still curious about this date. "Hey Alex?"
"Yeah?" He asked looking up from his phone and putting it away.
"We've been dating for almost 5 months, we've never had a date date... Like in a fancy restaurant as this one. So I'm curious, why now? Oh god! Alex you're not proposing again are you? 'Cause if that's the case, I'm still not ready. I love you and all but I guess it's just too soon for that huge step." She furrowed her eyebrow in an adorable way that carried both eagerness and concern.
Alex chuckled nervously and cleared his throat. Only then did he look up at his girlfriend who was staring at him intently. "Look, no. I'm not going to propose yet, I learned my lesson last time Princess! But-,"
"Don't call me Princess, Alex!" She interrupted him and made him laugh.
"Alright, as I was saying... There is a reason why I wanted to bring you out on this fancy date." He paused taking a deep breath.
"Which is...?" Jo eagerly asked.
"Uhh...what the hell!" Alex sighed and Jo could tell he was uncharacteristically nervous as he took something out of his pocket. She knew it wasn't an engagement ring but that was indeed a blue velvet box he had in his hand! "The reason why I brought you here is this." He said holding up the small box.
"And what exactly is that?"
"Open the box." He instructed after placing it in her hand.
Jo did as she was told and gasped when she saw what was inside. A key. She looked up at her boyfriend who watching her reaction but trying to avoid her eyes at the same time.
"Well Jo, I brought you out tonight to ask you if you'd like to move in with me or...you know, whatever you want." He said almost too quickly for her to understand but she got it. She heard every word coming out of his mouth. And she couldn't stop the grin forming in her lips and the her blurred vision due to the tears she quickly blinked back.
Jo opened her mouth to answer but no words came out and the shy looking Alex in front of her was slowly becoming worried this was the engagement story all over again. But then she frowned and got up from her seat, walked to him, grabbed his face in her hands and brought his lips up to hers until both of them were out of air but smiled in the kiss nonetheless.
When she pulled back she leaned her forehead against his. Pecking his lips once again, she finally let out her answer in a whisper. "Of course I'll move in with you baby!"
So...? Was it really bad? Please leave a review on your way out, I'll really appreciate your opinion!
And if you have a request just send it =)
Love,
