Dante knew today was the day, he had been waiting for the perfect moment to pop the question to Lulu. They had been dating for close to a year now and she had been living with him for almost two months now. The rings was burning a hole in his pocket for two whole weeks now and he was excited to finally ask her.

The day before he had approached Luke about asking for his daughter's hand in marriage. Lulu loved her father and if he could get his permission he knew it would make her happy, but regardless in the end she would do what she wanted. He wasn't to sure what Luke thought of him, he never really said much in his presence but he hoped he would be happy for them.

"I know you didn't like me in the beginning because you thought I was in the mob but I hope I have proved to you that I love your daughter and that I would never hurt her." Dante said taking a seat across from Luke as he mixed them some drinks.

"Well Dante, your right I didn't like you. But my daughter doesn't really let me have a say in her love life, I learned not to get involved a long time ago." Luke answered swirling the whiskey in his glass.

"I wanted to ask your permission to ask Lulu to marry me." Dante said looking directly into his eyes to show that he was serious. He nervously waited for a response.

"Dante, I like that you thought of me before you asked her. But just know if you break my cupcakes heart, I'll break your kneecaps." he said with a smile.

Dante had it all planned out, they were going to a Yankee's game that night. He wanted to show her why he loved baseball so much, it was a big part of his life growing up and he wanted to share it with her. He got off work a little early and they would be heading out as soon as Lulu got in. She was going to meet him at his loft and then they would make the drive out to the stadium.

Tonight he wanted to give her the full experience, popcorn, hot dogs, cotton candy (which he knew she loved), peanuts all the food necessary to enjoy the game. Just then the elevator door swung open, pulling him from his thoughts. "Hey." she said coming over to the couch where he was sitting.

"You excited about the game?" he asked getting up.

"Well I don't know if I'm as big of a fan as you are, but your excitement must be wearing off one me. I like seeing you this happy." she said leaning up to kiss him.

"You better go change so we can get going." he said smacking her butt as she raced from the room laughing.

In the car on the way to the stadium Dante couldn't stop talking about all the things she would see at the game. She was beginning to see why he liked it so much. "Were here." he said climbing out as he took her hand in his. They set out to find their seats in the sea of fans, it was easy to get lost with this many people milling around. So Dante kept a firm grasp on her hand as they pushed through the crowds. When they found their seats, Dante turned to look at Lulu her face was flushed from the cold but she had never looked more beautiful to him.

He bought them each a hot dog from a nearby vendor, just as the game got underway. "You are going to love these. Baseball games have the best hot dogs in the world." he said as she smiled at him before touching their hotdogs together in a mock toast.

"Your right these are amazing."

After stuffing themselves on popcorn, hotdogs and peanuts it was finally the moment Dante had been waiting for. "Look it's the kiss cam." Dante said pointing to the large screen over the field.

Just as Lulu looked up the screen flashed the words "LULU, WILL YOU MARRY ME?" at first she was too stunned to reply. "Oh my god, Dante are you serious." she said turning to face him as the crowd went wild.

"Of course I'm serious, baby, I love you." Dante said as he pulled out the ring for her to see. It was a beautiful diamond bridal set with the engagement and wedding ring attached, "oh it's beautiful." she said as he pulled it out of the case.

"So what do you say baby? Wanna spend the rest of your life with me?" he asked her as he looked into her eyes. People around were chanting, "Say yes, Say yes."

"Yes of course I'll marry you." she said as he slid the band onto her finger just as she threw her arms around him. People cheered wildly as people next to him patted him on the back and congratulated them.
