ONE MAGICAL NIGHT
Betty and Gio had been reunited for just over a year now. It was bonfire night and the two of them had been together for an amazing year. They had grown so close and Betty was so glad with the choice they had made. However, over the past year one problem had occurred. Betty's Papi, Ignacio had decided to move back to Mexico. Betty loved her family and since Justin and Hilda were going with him, she wanted to go too. She didn't want to leave Gio, the love of her life, though.
When Gio had first found out about the news of Betty moving away, he had been heartbroken. Now, he had learnt to deal with his emotions. He didn't want to upset Betty.
Gio drove up to Betty's house and stopped and stared at the "FOR SALE" sign in the garden. His heart broke to see it. He walked up to the front door and knocked. Betty opened the door. She was wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a grey hoodie with a familiar symbol on the front of it. "Wow! Betty! It's my pickle," he exclaimed, then realised what he had said blushed. "When did you get that? I love it!" She giggled. "Gio, it just came through today and I figured you would like it!" He kissed her gently. When they finally broke apart, Gio sighed and said, "Well, are you ready to go? The fireworks start in about half an hour!" Betty nodded and they headed towards his van, hand in hand.
They arrived at a secluded park about 15 minutes later. "Gio, why are we here?" Betty asked, a confused look on her face. He looked deeply into her eyes. "Well, when I'm in love with a woman, every night would be a chance to make a memory. I always said I would take her out to Montague, with a bottle of wine and we would build a fire and sleep out under the stars." Betty's smile widened as she remembered the last time he had spoken to her about that. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him close.
After pulling away from their embrace, Gio walked to his van and pulled out two sleeping bags and some firewood along with a picnic basket. He set up the fire and placed the sleeping bags around it. After everything had been set up, the fireworks began. They sat and watched the fireworks and Gio turned to Betty and smiled. "Betty Suarez, you are one incredible girl," he said gently in her ear. He kissed her cheek and held both her hands in his. The fireworks continued to go off. He held himself up on one knee. "I was just wondering if you wanted to maybe spend the rest of your life with me, and be my wife?" Tears threatened to fall from Betty's eyes. "YES!" she shouted, "YES, YES, YES!" He stood up and picked her up and danced around with her in his arms. She laughed with him.
Still carrying her, he walked into the water. "Gio, what are you doing?" she exclaimed as she looked down at the freezing water. He laughed and asked, "Do you trust me, my darling fiancé?" She giggled and nodded. "Big mistake" he called out as he dropped her into the shallow water. She screamed as the cold water seeped through her clothes. Gio knelt over her, straddling her. He kissed her tenderly. "Well, I'm soaked now! Thank you!" she said, smirking. "Why are you smirk…" Gio started before Betty flipped him so that he was in the water. "Betty!" he flirtingly shouted. She was straddling him now and he used this to his advantage. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He took her over to the dry sleeping bags and wrapped her in a towel. She stripped down so she was in her underwear and the towel.
Gio was struggling to control himself at the thought of Betty being nearly naked sat next to him. "She has no idea how good she looks at the moment," he thought to himself. He moved closer to her and kissed her with all the passion that he could muster from his body. "Betty, I love you so much!" he whispered in her ear. She giggled. "I love you too, Mr Rossi, my fiancé!" she said. "Thank you for giving us a chance and waiting for me. You definitely are the guy." He smiled to himself. "I know I'm the guy and I'll wait as long as you want, no matter how difficult it is getting now," he thought as he cuddled into her as they slowly started to drift off to sleep.
