Shane's POV
It was 4:00 am and I was exhausted. It was important that I woke up, because I had a surprise for Mitchie. If we wanted to get there on time we needed to leave now. I had my guitar and one of my presents for Mitchie in my pocket. I was all set. I walked into her cabin and she was sound asleep. She looked so cute when she was sleeping, but I had to wake her up.
"Mitchie, wake up." I said it sweetly and shook her lightly but no response. I gave her a kiss and I heard her moan. She started rapping her hands around my neck. I didn't want to but I broke away.
"What was that for?" She said.
"I have a surprise for you so go and get dressed quickly."
"It's not even light out yet."
"Exactly."
"What does that mean?"
"Just go get dressed."
"Fine!"
She came out a few minutes later wearing skinny jeans, her usual boots, and an aqua t-shirt. Without saying a word I grabbed her hand and we walked to the beach and I told her to get a life vest and get into the canoe.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"It's a surprise."
We got out to the middle of the lake and it was still dark. I picked up my guitar. Mitchie gave me a confused face.
"I wrote you a song. I started it when I got a crush on you in the middle of the summer and finished it the night we became a couple."
Before she could say anything, I started playing the song.
Hello beautiful
How's it going
I hear its wonderful
In California
I've been missing you
It's true
But tonight, I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight, I'm gonna fly
Cause I go across the world
And see everything, and never be satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes
Hello Beautiful
It's been a long time
Since my phone rung
And you've been on that line
And I've been missing you
It's true
But tonight, I'm gonna fly
Yeah tonight, I'm ganna fly
Cause I could go across the world
And see everything and never be satisfied
If I couldn't see those eyes
"Wow Shane, it's a beautiful song."
"Just like you."
"Smooth"
We both started laughing and I started rowing to my "special" place. This time we didn't go in circles. I stayed up all night last night practicing. I wanted this day to be perfect. After about five minutes we arrived to a small island.
"We're here!" I said.
"Where are we?"
"An island I found when I was a camper here. Come on I want to show you something."
We walked up a high hill and sat towards the lake. I looked at my phone 5:30 am perfect timing.
"What do you want to show me?" Mitchie asked.
"Look!"
I pointed towards the lake and her mouth dropped open. The sun was rising slowly twinkling on the water. The colors were amazing. I turned and looked at her. She turned and looked at me with a huge smile on her face.
"Wow, its amazing!" She said.
"I have another song for you I wrote it last night. It sort of ties in with my last surprise. I hope you like it."
"I know I will."
I gave her a huge smile and started strumming.
If the heart is ever searching
Can you ever find a home
I've been looking for that someone
I can't make it on my own
Dreams can't take the place of loving you
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Every thing's alright
When your right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes
How long will I be waiting
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love you
In the best way that I can
I can't take a day without you here
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Every thing's alright
When your right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes
Everyday I start to realize
I can reach my tomorrow
I can hold my head high
And it's all because you're by my side
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Every thing's alright
When your right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes
When you look me in the eyes
And tell me that you love me
Every thing's alright
When your right here by my side
When you look me in the eyes
I catch a glimpse of heaven
I find my paradise
When you look me in the eyes
"Mitchie I love you, and that's why I'm giving you this."
Mitchie's POV
Shane pulled out a ring. My mouth dropped open. He got on his knees
"Mitchie, I really do love you and I don't ever want to loose you. Don't worry I'm not proposing, but with this ring I promise you that one day I will. I promise that one day we will be together forever. Will you accept the ring"
I smiled really big. "Y-Yes!!! I will and I love you too!"
We kissed for a long time and I cuddled up against him. He put his head on mine and rapped his hand around my waist. We fell asleep in that position.
