I don't own anything.

Please read and enjoy! It's incredibly short, so I know it isn't the best, but I loved it and I hope you do too :) love you guys!

"Chicken or fish?" I asked Eli as we looked over the menu for the new café in town. Eli looked at me in a daze and said,

"I think I want to leave." I looked at him with wide eyes and said,

"What do you mean leave?" Eli grabbed my hand and said,

"I want to leave the trouble of life behind, I want to be free." I guess I didn't understand because the next thing I knew Eli was walking off without even muttering a goodbye.

So there I sat in the small café staring out the window looking at all the happy people, and me, alone. Eli left me no more than ten minutes ago and I feel so empty, why do I always fall for the bad boys?

Maybe another fifteen minutes passed and I finally got my food. Eli left his tab open at the counter so I ordered chicken, fish, and two desserts. I needed a relief from this crap. Same old Eli, I take him back and he leaves. Why did I even come to New York?

When I finished my food, the waitress brought over my dessert of chocolate lava cake. I was about to stick my fork in it when I saw something shiny. I stuck my finger in the sticky dessert and pulled out a ring. Tears welled up in my eyes and I snapped my fingers to get the waitresses attention. She looked over and smiled wide before saying,

"I see you found the prize." I looked at her oddly and said,

"What? Do I win something?" She smiled and pointed across the restaurant. I glanced over and there standing in front of me was Eli. He was dressed in a tuxedo with a bouquet of roses and a grin on his face. He walked closer and got down on one knee and asked,

"Will you be free with me, Clare Edwards?"

Short and spontaneous! Please review, I just don't have the energy this time to beg all of you, and yes I know this one was only 400 words, but it was meant to be short! :) love you all, and again please let me know what you think :)
