Raven was happily walking up to Benson Hill to see her vampire boyfriend Alexander Stirling tonight was going to be very special because it was Alexander's nineteenth birthday. I can't wait to see the look on Alexander's face when he sees the present I got him! Raven thought excitedly as she knocked on the mansion door. Then the door was opened by Alexander.
"Happy birthday!" Raven cheered as she jumped into her boyfriend's arms.
"Thank you Raven" he chuckled as he gave her a tight squeeze.
"Where's Jamson?" Raven asked curiously.
"He's out on a date with Ruby he wanted to give us some time alone" Alexander explained as he led her into the living room.
"Oh how sweet of him" Raven smiled.
Then Raven playfully turned to Alexander and pushed him into a seat.
"Ok time for your present! Close your eyes!" Raven giggled.
"Ok?" he said as he was trying to hide a grin.
Raven waved her hands in front of his face to make sure he wasn't peeking then she reached into her pocket and pulled out a necklace with a vial of fake blood attached to it and latched it around his neck.
"Ok you can look!" Raven grinned.
Alexander opened his dark warm eyes and clutched the necklace. He looked at it and a big smile spread across his face.
"Thank you Raven I love it! I'll never take it off" he grinned as he stood and placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Would you like to join me outside for some cake?" he grinned.
"Sounds great" Raven smiled back and she interlocked her arm with his.
Once they got outside she saw a cake with black frosting sitting on the coffin shaped table.
"Wow! This cake is amazing!"
"Yes Jamson made it" Alexander smiled "But don't worry its blood free" he joked.
Raven laughed and followed him to the table.
"Ok time to sing you happy birthday" Raven said with an evil grin.
"Please Raven we don't have to! My parents called from Romania this morning and sang to me….it was very embarrassing" Alexander blushed.
"Fine have it your way" Raven sighed as she took a seat next to him.
Alexander chuckled and handed Raven a slice of cake. As they ate Raven noticed he was staring at her intently never taking his eyes off her then he started to act very nervous which is not like him at all.
"Alexander are you alright? You seem distracted" Raven said as she cupped his cheek.
"Uh yes I'm just fine" he smiled.
"Ok? Um do you want to lie down on the grass and look at the stars?" Raven asked as she stood from her seat.
Alexander didn't answer her he just stood with her and rushed in front of her at vampire speed.
"Alexander?" she whispered in confusion.
Then Alexander nervously got down on one knee and held her hand in his. Then Raven's eyes widened.
"From the first moment I seen you I knew you were the girl for me…I loved you even before I knew your name…so Raven Madison will you be my wife?" Alexander said as he held out a black velvet box with a sliver ring with a blood red heart stone in the middle.
Raven felt the tears in her eyes and then she smiled.
"Yes"
Alexander smiled and slipped the ring on her finger. Raven smiled back and kissed him.
"I love you Alexander"
"And I love you Raven" he grinned showing off his fangs.
Raven blushed then his cellphone started to ring he looked at it and it said the call was from Romania.
"Answer it Alexander it's your parents!" Raven smiled.
Alexander nodded and pressed the talk button.
"Hello?"
"Hello Alexander darling we just called to tell you happy birthday before we go to sleep" Mrs. Sterling said in a thick Romanian accent.
"Thank you mother" Alexander smiled.
"How was your birthday so far?" she asked.
"Absolutely perfect" Alexander smiled as he looked at his fiancée Raven.
"Really? What made it so prefect?" Mrs. Sterling wondered.
"Well I'm….uh engaged"
"What? To whom?" she asked in shock.
"Raven of course" Alexander laughed.
"Oh how wonderful! I can't wait till I tell your father! He will be so thrilled! We are getting the first flight to America tomorrow! I'll see you soon dear!" she said excitedly and hung up.
Alexander laughed and put his phone back into his pocket.
"What did she say?" Raven asked curiously.
"Well she wanted to know how my birthday went…and then I told her I asked you to marry me and she freaked out and said she will be on the first flight over here tomorrow" Alexander explained.
"Awesome! I can't wait to see your parents again!" Raven smiled.
Alexander nodded in agreement then he looked up at the stars.
"Perhaps I should get you home its getting late" he said.
Raven pouted and they got into the herst and they drove off. Once they got to Raven's house Alexander walked her to the door. Once they got there they stopped.
"Goodnight Alexander" Raven smiled.
"Goodnight Mrs. Sterling" he grinned.
Raven blushed and playfully shoved his arm.
"You gave me the greatest gift tonight this is the best birthday present I have ever received" he whispered as he gave her a passionate kiss goodnight.
"I love you my beautiful bride" he said in a seductive tone.
"And I love you my wonderful prince of darkness" Raven said then Alexander walked back to the car.
Once the car could no longer be seen Raven walked into her house. Then her father smiled up at her.
"Hey Raven how was your evening?" He asked as he looked up from his paper.
"Absolutely amazing!" Raven said in a dreamy voice.
"Really what was so amazing about it?" her father wondered.
Then her mother walked in with Billy.
"Well I'm engaged!" Raven smiled as she held up her ring hand.
"Engaged?" her parent said in shock.
"You're really engaged?" Bill laughed.
"Yes I am!" Raven said proudly as she flicked her brother on the forehead.
"Are you sure your ready for this Raven?" her mother asked as she admired her daughters ring.
"Yes I'm one hundred percent sure!" Raven grinned.
"Raven you're only eighteen" her father said.
"Dad! I'm officially an adult now and I'm out of high school! I'm ready for this!"
"You just graduated high school don't you think you should think about collage first?" he said.
"Dad Alexander is my true love! Don't worry I'm ready for this" Raven said with a smile.
Her parents exchanged looks at each other then sighed.
"Ok if that's what you really want sweetie" her father said.
"Yay! Thank you so much!" Raven smiled.
"When are you two going to start planning?" her mother wondered.
"I guess tomorrow because his parents are flying out"
"Oh really? How wonderful we should really invite them for dinner again" her mother smiled.
"So Alexander is going to be my brother in law?" Billy asked.
"That's right Billy boy!" Raven smiled as she walked up stairs to her room.
"Don't call me that!" Billy called out.
Once Raven got to her room she pulled out her phone and texted Becky excitedly but Becky didn't text back so she was probably sleeping. Then Rave's phone started to buzz she looked at it and it said from Alexander.
"Goodnight my love have pleasant dreams" it said.
Raven blushed and slowly fell asleep with her phone clutched to her chest.
