A LARGE GAP IN TIME HAS PASSED SINCE AUSTIN ASKED ALLY TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND.
So it had been 3 years since Austin asked Ally to be his girlfriend and they were now 25 years old and things were going great. Their relationship was all they could ask for and more. Austin had stopped touring was just recording songs and releasing albums and Ally accepted a job as a music therapist and is working at the local children's hospital soon after they started dating. Austin had a special night planned for the upcoming weekend and was currently traveling alone to visit Mr. Dawson. Ally was busy working and then had to attend a conference for work. As Austin drove he fiddled with the little purple velvet box in his pocket.
Austin arrived at The Dawson household and parked and locked his car. He took a deep breath and then walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Dawson answered within a couple of seconds. (Mr. in bold and Mrs Dawson in italics).
Oh Hey Austin come on in, how are you doing?
Mr. Dawson lets Austin in and they go into the living room to take a seat.
Thanks Mr. Dawson and I'm doing great.
What brings you here? Is Ally with you?
Ally is at a conference for work and I'm here to ask you an important question.
Mr. Dawson could see the nervousness in Austin's eyes and Mrs. Dawson knew exactly what he was going to asked and started tearing up.
Austin took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Well Mr. and Mrs. Dawson, I have known your daughter for the past 14 years and she means the world to me. I can picture life with her and years to come and don't want to miss out on an amazing woman.
While giving his little speech Austin pulls out his velvet box and Mrs. Dawson gasps.
Mr. and Mrs. Dawson I came here to ask to have permission for your daughters hand in marriage.
Mr. Dawson simply pulls Austin into a hug and gives him a pat on the back. Mrs. Dawson also gives him a hug.
Austin you are great to our daughter and we know you would never harm her. Oh and Austin you can call us mom and dad, we are family now.
Looking at the box Mrs. Dawson asks can I see the ring?
Oh of course Austin says flipping open the box and handing it to Mrs. Dawson. Here you are Mrs. Dawson. (A/N: A link to the ring is at the bottom of the page)
Oh Austin this is beautiful! So when are you going to ask? Can we be there too?
Of course you can and it will be after she gets back this weekend, I already have all the details planned out. I'm going to fix her favorite meal and set it up so we eat by candle light, and I'll have her favorite lilies floating in water with candles and it will be perfect. Austin says.
Just as Austin says this Ally calls him.
Oh it's Ally, I better answer this.
(Ally in Bold and Italics)
Hey sweetheart how is your conference going?
Hey Austin, It went well. It actually finished early so I'm headed home and I'll be home tomorrow at 8pm instead of Sunday night.
Oh really that's great Als, I will see you when tomorrow then…oh wait I have something planned, how about I have your parents pick you up from the airport and meet me at the park outside by my house.
Yeah that's fine but why the park?
Oh there is a birthday party that I'm singing for so I'll still be there by the time you get back home.
Oh ok Austin, I will see you tomorrow. Good luck with your gig. Love you
Yeah see you tomorrow sweetie, and love you more.
Well Mom and Dad it looks like I'm popping the question tomorrow. Sorry I kind of volunteered you guys to go pick her up. But hey that way I can set up at the park and you can be there for the big question.
Oh that sounds lovely Mrs. Dawson said
We will do that and son I know she will say yes.
Austin smiles and then gets up to head home and gather his thoughts and put his plan into action.
Well that's the end of Chapter 4! Let me know what you think Link to the engagement ring. . ?GroupSKU=GRP10016#f+3/0/0/0/0/0
