Chapter 1- The Proposal

Roger's POV

Mark was sitting on the metal table fiddling with his camera and I was on the couch tuning my guitar. I was waiting for Mimi to come home. Mimi had moved in with me and Mark about a month ago. Also he has not used drugs in about year. Withdrawal was had on the little dancer, but she made it through and now is clean. I was now starting to play Musetta's Waltz nervously and Mark noticed.

" Don't worry Rog. So how do you plan to do this?" said Mark looking my way.

I set down my guitar and walk over to Mark and sit down next to him.

"Well, I plan to put a note at the door to the loft that has to lyrics to Your Eyes in it and hopefully she comes in. Then she will see a trail of white rose petals leading to the window where a note will be that says to me meet me up on the roof. Also all the candles will be lit. Then hopefully she will come up to the roof where I will be sitting and playing my guitar. I will be playing Your Eyes. The she will come over and I and I will stop playing and the tell her I love her and all the mushy stuff and the ask her." I said very slow as I tired to remember it all.

"Wow, Roger. That is so romantic, I bet she will say yes." said Mark smiling.

I looked at the clock Angel bought us before she died. She told us were always going to be late if we didn't have a clock. It was a quarter to 9. Mimi would be home at 9.

"Oh, Mimi will be home soon. So I should get ready. Mark do you mind going to Collins. I'll call you when I get the answer and we can all go to the Life." I said as I looked away from the clock.

"No, I don't mind. Good luck." he said as he put his coat on and left the loft.

I lit all the candle and laid down the rose petals. I would have to sweep them up later. I put down the notes and got my guitar and headed up to the roof.. As I opened the door to the roof I heard the building door open.. Mimi had just gotten home at the perfect time.

Mimi's POV

Work was torture today. Tips were almost none because they were all broke drunken bastards. Luckily I have Roger waiting for me at home to cheer me up. As I reached the loft door I see a note. It says.

"Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can't get them out of my mind
And I find I can't hide
From your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise
The night you came into my life
Where there's moonlight I see your eyes
How'd I let you slip away
When I'm longing so to hold you
Now I'd die for one more day
'Cause there's something
I should have told you
Yes there's something
I should have told you
When I looked into your eyes
Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along
And before this song dies
I should tell you I should tell you
I have always loved you
You can see it in my eyes
Mimi."

I was astounded. ' Why was Roger doing this?' I thought as I opened the door. All of a sudden I noticed all the candles were lit and there were white rose petals on the floor leading to the window. I walked around the loft and blew out the candles so the loft wouldn't burn down.

" Roger? Mark? Are you here? Why is are the candles lit and there rose petals on the floor?" I said to the emptiness

No one was home. Weird. I walked over to the window where there was a note like the one at the loft door, and it read.

" Meet me up on the roof. I want to ask you something,

Roger"

Meet him on the roof. Strange but I went. I walked up the stairs to the roof and opened the door. I walked out on to the roof. I saw Roger sitting playing his guitar. As I got closer I could tell it was Your Eyes.

Roger's POV

I see Mimi walk closer to me. She looks surprised. As she reach about a foot way I stopped playing and got up.. I stood in front of her.

"Roger what is this about?" she said as she reached me

" Mimi we have been together for a while, so I think we should take the next step. I just want you to remember that I love you. Mimi, will you marry me?" as I said the last four words I got down on one knee.

Mimi's POV

I see Roger pull out a little black box and open it. I see a small silver ring with one medium size diamond set on the ring.

"Oh my god. Yes, Roger, yes I will marry you." I said in shock.

Roger takes my left hand and slips the ring on my ring finger. I grabbed his hand and pulled him up and into a kiss that would rival no other.

Roger's POV

'She said yes.' I thought as I kissed. She is finally mine. I pull away from the kiss and start to pull toward downstairs.

"Let go tell everyone." I said as I reached the stairs.
