"Hey you want to do something dumb?" Derek asked Casey as they left the restaurant at 12:30 in the morning.
It was a beautiful night in Kingston; and Derek and Casey were on their way home after hanging out with friends.
"Derek anything you normally do is dumb." Casey said as a week comeback.
"Casey you need to work on your comebacks a little."
"Derek I think I may have had a few too many drinks." Casey said as she stumbled a little.
"Hey watch out Klutzilla." Derek said as he helped steady her, stumbling a bit himself.
"Yeah me too. I think I wanna marry you," Derek murmured.
Casey stopped suddenly, "What did you say?"
Derek stopped in front of Casey and looked in her eyes. He didn't know what to say. Why had he even thought that in the first place? Was it because he drank too much or was it just her?
Who cares, Derek thought. "I think I wanna merry you." Derek said clearly.
Casey just stood there in shock. Did he just say that or is this a dream? Casey thought.
"I've seen this chapel down the street that is open right now. We will be the only ones that know. I know that we both are a little drunk, but come on I still have cash burning a hole in my pocket. We can get shots of patron." Derek explained quickly.
"But Derek you're my step-.." Casey stared but Derek didn't let her finish. "Don't say no. Come on I know that you have thought about us getting together; I know I have. We can catch a cab, if you are ready to go?"
"It's a beautiful night; it's just down the street, let's walk. You and you dumb ideas." Casey said smiling. Finally getting what she had always dreamed about.
"Well I think I wanna marry you." Derek said reaching up his hand to her cheek. "I don't know if it your eyes or if I have had too much to drink, but I think I wanna marry you." Derek leaned in and brushed his lip on hers. It was their first kiss. It was just a little peck of a kiss, but it held so much feeling.
As they stared walked down the street Derek spotted a store that was still open. "Oh I should get you a ring. That is if you want me to." He watched Casey to see if she would disagree. When he didn't see her reject the idea he started to run for the store. "Come on Casey before the store closes." Casey started running after him.
Once Derek bought a ring they walked down the street to the Chapel. They were standing outside when Derek turn toward Casey.
"If you regret this tomorrow I won't blame you; it is just for fun. Come on we can have a funny story about how we got drunk one night and got married." Derek laughed.
It was Casey's turn to make sure that Derek wanted to go through with this. "Now Derek, are you backing out of this? Come on this was you idea. You can't say no now. You bought a ring and everything. Come on, all we have to do is go in there and get married. I'm ready when you are."
Derek looked into Casey's eyes and knew that she meant what she was saying.
"Like you said it is a beautiful night. I would say a perfect night to get married. Cuz I know I wanna to marry you."
Inside the little Chapel they went. All that was left was for them to say "I Do."
