Magnus pulled up to the restaurant in his green sparkly porsche, with Camille next to him. He jumped out of the car and opened the door for Camille like a gentleman. Camille was wearing an aqua strapless gown. She reached out to grab magnus' hand and gave a smile.
This is it Magnus thought. They walked into the restaurant hand in hand and Magnus opened the door for Camille.
"A reservation for Bane." Magnus said to the hostess. She looked at the list in front of her and smiled. She put a mark on the seating chart and lead them to a table outside. No one was around them, just like he had asked for. There was candles and roses everywhere. This was going to be absolutely perfect. The waiter soon approached them.
"Hello! My name is Eric. I'll be your waiter today. What drinks can i get you two?" The waiter apparently named Eric said.
"A glass of wine please" Camille said politely. Eric nodded and looked over to Magnus.
"I'll have what she's having." Magnus said. Eric nodded again and left to get the wine. Magnus smiled to Camille from across the table. She gave him a smile in return and laughed her beautiful laugh. This made Magnus laugh as well.
"Why are we laughing?" Camille asked even though she started it. Magnus shrugged and continued to smile at her.
Soon the wine came and Eric took their orders.
"Can I have the duck confit please." Camille told the waiter.
"Ok. And for you sir?" Eric asked
"The ratatouille." Magnus said to Eric. Eric nodded once more and went back inside the restaurant. Magnus looked around awkwardly, not really knowing what to say next.
"So…" Magnus began, not sure where this was going. Camille ignore him and just stared off into space. Magnus frowned and put his face in his hands. This was supposed to be super romantic and awesome, but it turned out to be kinda awkward and weird. Not the ideal proposal setting, but Magnus would go with what he was given. Magnus began to daydream about proposing, then the wedding, and then children and all that good stuff. Sadly that wouldn't happen if Magnus didn't propose soon. And by soon, he meant the next few hours or so. Because who knows what could happen in a few hours. She could find a better guy and they could elope and Magnus would never see her again.
Magnus raised his head up from his hands and stared deeply into Camille's beautiful eyes. He felt like he could get lost in her eyes, no question. Her eyes were the prettiest shade of green he had ever seen.
Enough! Magnus shouted in his head. Just do it and all will be well! Or so he had hoped. There was a slim chance this could go horribly wrong, but Magnus didn't want to think about that.
"Hey Camille, I have a question for you…" Magnus said nervously, she nodded and looked at him.
"Well, I love you so much Camille. I loved you from the day I saw your beautiful green eyes. You light up my world and make it a better place. I know we've had our ups and downs, but will you do the honor of marrying me?" Magnus asked hopefully as he went down on one knee.
She looked so surprised. Her mouth hung open and her bugged out of her head. Then she laughed. And laughed and laughed. She began to gasp because she was laughing to hard. She clutched her stomach and wiped her tears.
"Magnus, are you serious? I love you honey, but I don't want to marry you. I need someone serious, not a glitter rainbow. I'm going to Harvard, a school with lots of serious people. And if I'm going to be the president someday, I'm going to need someone very serious. Sorry sweetheart but it's just not gonna work out in the long run." Camille said once she calmed down.
Magnus' heart absolutely shattered. He stood up with tears in his eyes. All he wanted now was to break down and sob his heart out.
"I thought we were meant to be. That's what you always told me. That we were soul mates and we were never going to fall apart. And a glitter rainbow, that's what you think of we? And what do you mean by someone serious? I may not have a serious job, but I know that I am seriously in love with you, Camille. And you're just gonna let be that all go?" Magnus sobbed. He looked at her, waiting for an answer to his question.
"Magnus, I'm truly sorry. I know you love me, but it's time to get serious. I have my whole life planned out in front of me. I'll be the president by the time I'm thirty, and I'll have two kids. Magnus, I just don't think you would be a good first gentleman and be able to help me become the president. Your a great person mags. You'll have no trouble finding a great person." Camille answered sincerely. She looked at Magnus and tried to put a hand on his shoulder. He pushed her hand away.
"Please just leave me alone, Camille." Magnus said as calmly as he could. He tried to wipe all the tears from his eyes, but they just kept falling.
Camille walked out the door and left the restaurant. She hailed and cab, and then she was gone.
Just then Eric came out with their dinner. Eric froze when he looked at how distraught Magnus was. Magnus turned and noticed Eric standing there.
"Can I just have the check please." Magnus said, his voice still wavering. Eric seemed to understand and grabbed the check. Magnus handed him is credit card and Eric left to do the transaction. He soon gave Magnus back his card. Magnus left and jumped into his car. He began to sob again.
My life is over, Magnus thought. But then the best idea came to him.
