Clare's POV
We were in the middle Time Square, while it was raining, when Eli stopped in front of me. "What are you doing? We're getting soaked!" I screamed. He turned around and looked down into my eyes. "Trust me." His green, emerald eyes were full of anxiety. Reminded me why I fell in love with him in the first place. I realized he was still waiting for an answer. "Always." I said confidently. He brushed off his hands on his pants, as if he was trying to dry them off, but it made no difference. I looked up at the great buildings surrounding me, the rain pouring harder and harder each minute. "Eli-" I looked back down, about to beg to him to go in some shelter, when I spot him kneeling on one knee. I cocked my head to the side, confused. He winked and smirked at me. "Why are you kneeling...?" I asked, but my question didn't need to be answered directly as he took out a small blue velvet box from his back pocket. My breathing hitched, my heart pounding.
"Eli,that's not what I think it is, is it..." My question was left hanging as his smile stretched from ear to ear. I quickly glanced around and noticed some New Yorkers staring at us in awe and curiousity. Oh no.
I looked back down to Eli, squinting through the rain as he stared up at me.
"Clare Diane Edwards. How could I explain my love for you. It would take a century, no, a millennium, to describe the way you have inspired me as a person. When I first ran over your glasses and saw those blue eyes, I thought 'She's the one.' The one who will change me for my good. The one who will become my best friend no matter how messed up i am. Even though we faced rough roads along the way, we made it through. You are a perfect person inside and out, it was impossible to find any bad things to change about you. But after a lot of thinking, I finally thought of one." He paused. The butterflies in my stomach were soaring. My heart beating like a hummingbirds wings. Is this really happening?
"I finally thought of something to change about you, Saiint Clare." He continued on. I raised my eyebrows at him.
He smirked and said, "Your last name."
My smile grew a thousand times bigger than it was before.
"So, here's my point. Will you marry me?"
I was speechless. "Yes. Yes!" I screamed. He grinned and slid the ring on my finger. We both laughed loudly as he swung me around. I heard claps and cheering in the background, noticing that strangers were watching us this whole time. "I love you." Eli whispered in my ear.
I sighed, realizing this is a start to a whole new chapter in life. "I love you too." I whispered back, the smile permanent on my face. "By the way, that will perhaps be the last time you will always hear me be so... cheesy." I laughed then kissed him on the lips.
Clare Diane Goldsworthy. I could get used to that.
