They had just gotten back from lunch; it was starting to get dark outside. They were there awhile since they ate at their favorite restaurant with a great view of the water and then went for a walk on the beach. They were now walking up their walkway and into their house. Eric took a shower first after making Calleigh promise she wouldn't run away again. When he was done she took a shower and he got plenty of blankets and pillows on the couch for the movie they were about to watch.

Eric was sitting on the couch fidgeting with the black velvet box he had had for god knows how long. He didn't want to wait any longer. Just then Calleigh walked into the living room. Eric quickly but the box in his hand behind his back.

"What was that?" Calleigh asked with suspicion.

"What? Nothing." Eric said.

Calleigh gave him a skeptical look and walked over and tried to pull his hand out from behind his back, but it wouldn't budge. Then she realized Eric wasn't going to play nice she sat on his lap and started pulling his arm harder. Still nothing. She decided she needed to go to plan three. She put one hand on his cheek and kissed him with everything she had, when she knew he was completely distracted she slipped her other hand behind him and grabbed the box in his hand and jumped up while saying,

"Ha!" She never looked at what was really in her, but just held it up and waved it in front of his face.

She saw the dumbfounded look on Eric's face and couldn't help but feel slightly guilty. She smiled and looked at what was in her hand. Just then her face went serious and had shock written all over it. She slowly looked up at him. He just had a black face.

"Well," he finally said. "This isn't how I planned it, but oh well." He got off the couch and walked up to Calleigh, who was frozen with shock. He slowly took the box out of her hand and knelt down on one knee. Calleigh gasped.

"Calleigh, you've had me wrapped around your finger since the day I met you and immediately asked for your number," she smiled at that, her eyes becoming watery. "I wait forever for you to finally give me the green light to ask you out after being my best friend for twelve years. I've always loved you. So, Calleigh Duquesne, will you marry me?" He asked while opening the box to reveal and white gold band with a green emerald stone. Two small diamonds sat on each side of the emerald.

A single tear fell and ran down her cheek. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She looked at him with shock for another minute. She tried again to speak. She slowly shook her head yes and whispered,

"Yes," He stood up and slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her with everything that was in him.

He picked her up and her legs wrapped around his waist and they kept kissing, and kissing all the way down the hallway. She kept mumbling 'yes' all the way until the disappeared at the end of the hallway.

I know it's really short, I'm sorry. I'm writing another chapter. I'll upload it soon! Thanks for reading! R&R
