So this is Chloe's POV of the proposal, this chapter won't be very long but the next chapter will be because it's dinner with Max's parents and David. The only reason I'm doing Chloe's POV is because there are a few important details that needed to be said but would be weird if Max was the one saying them.
Chapter 2: Home for My Heart (Chloe's POV)
"God what a fucking day, Derek is such an asshole. I'm going to kick his ass the next time he says something homophobic about Max and me. It's days like this that I wish I would have gone to college", I say to myself as I leave my office building. I get into my car and I'm immediately hit with the sound of Jingle Bell Rock coming from my car speakers, which reminded me of Christmas fast approaching. On my way home all I thought of was Max which made my stress melt away. I pulled in the driveway and saw a dark house, usually Max left the living room light on but this time there was no light coming from the front window. "She's probably just sleeping", I think as I'm unlocking the front door. I walked in the door and was immediately greeted with a trail of rose petals leading to the candle lit dining table.
"Aww I love you Super Max", I whisper as I set down my bag by the TV. I start to cry as I walk closer to the dining room, all the sudden I see Max standing in the doorway of the kitchen looking as beautiful as ever. She was wearing a short blue dress, with a black long sleeve sweater, and the black vans I bought her for her birthday. Her beautiful blue eyes shimmered under the candle light and I couldn't do anything but smile like an idiot and cry. I walked over and kissed her, the taste of her cherry lip-gloss lingered on my tongue. "I love you Chloe, more than you will ever know", she said as she stroked my cheek. "I love you more Super Max". She took my hand and guided me to the table, my stomach fluttered with butterflies. I sat down at the table and she poured me a glass of wine. "So Maxy what is this all for?" I ask curiously, "My Chloe needs some love and I thought I would surprise you tonight".
She grabbed my hand that was outstretched on the table and my heart became instantly warm. She cooked my favorite rosemary chicken and my mom's famous pancakes for dessert, it always makes me happy when she honors my mother. As I was finishing my last pancake Max stood up from the table and I looked at her with confusion. "Now before I start talking I should warn you that I'm about to say some pretty corny stuff". "Max what are doing?", I say as I set down my fork. She got down on one knee and pulled a small black box out of her pocket, I covered my mouth in shock and started to cry. She opened the box and inside was a small blue and white, diamond butterfly ring. The sight of the ring made me cry even more and all I wanted to do was blurt out yes and kiss her right there but I decided to let her finish. Her words were like music to my ears, they filled my heart with love and they gave me hope like nothing ever could. "Will you join me on my journey as my wife"? "Yes of course", I said as I fell out of my chair and hugged her. She gently slid the ring on my finger and kissed me under the dim candle light. "I love you Chloe Price", "I love you Max Caulfield".
If you read the last chapter you all know what happens after this. Next chapter will be dinner with the parents and that will probably go up tomorrow evening.
