"So where are we going?" I asked as we got into the car.
"It's a surprise" he said with a smirk.
"Oh come on! That's not fair you know I hate surprises"
"Well you will just have to wait this time" he smiled gently.
I pouted. He glanced at me.
"Puppy dog eyes aren't going to work this time, just wait" he said focusing on the road.
Despite my numerous attempts I couldn't get him to tell me.
Ten minutes later we pulled up out side 'Chez Moi' a fancy French restaurant new in town.
I looked up at John my mouth hanging open in shock.
"We're eating here?" I asked my eyes wide
"Yup" he said getting out of the car and coming round to my side to open the door for me.
He helped me out of the car and we walked towards the restaurant.
"Reservation for two under the name Smith" John said to a girl standing behind a small podium. She consulted her book before smiling at us
"Right this way please sir" she said and led us to a private table at the back of the restaurant. I looked around in awe, there were fairy lights everywhere and ivy claiming the brick walls. It had a very rustic feel. We sat down and ordered our drinks. The waitress disappeared promising to return with menus. I looked over at John, he was looking around nervously. I took his hand.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Nothing" he said "There's just something I've been waiting to tell you for a long time and it's just..." He trailed off taking a deep breath before continuing "I've loved you ever since I met you, you are the love of my life, you complete me Clara. You're beautiful and funny and smart and you always know the right thing to say. I didn't really know what love was until I met you and you flipped my world upside down in the best way possible. I want to spend the rest of my life with you
Clara. I love you so so much." He paused sliding out of his chair.
"So..." John said getting down on one knee. "Will you do me the honor of marrying me?" He asked.
"Yes!" I said immediately .
He looked up at me.
"Yes, yes ,yes, I love you John!"
He slid the ring onto my finger, it was a perfect fit. He stood up as I jumped out of my chair grabbing him by the neck and pulling his lips down to mine. He was so gorgeous and perfect and he was mine. I couldn't stop smiling. I pulled our lips apart.
"I will love you always and forever John Smith you're my other half and I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else." I said pouring my heart out to him.
"I will always love you Clara" he grinned "Always"
"You promise?"
"Of course" he laughed kissing me once more, his laugh was infectious and by the time I sat down I was giggling happily. Our menus arrived and we enjoyed the rest of our evening.
On the way home is glanced at our intertwined hands. Our relationship isn't perfect it never has been and it probably never will be. I'm sure we will always have our fights, our disagreements, our arguments. But at the end of the day a relationship is a choice and I will forever choose him because I love him and he loves me and that's what matters.
