Thanks for your huge amount of reviews on chapter 7 and as you requested, here is chapter 8, filled with loads of romantic fluff :) The song „You" belongs to Evanescence and I'm just using it as Gage had written this. Sorry!

After the paramedics had checked for Gage's bruises and found him alright, he went to Syd.

„So..uh...what are you doing tonight?"he asked her sounding a bit shy.

Syd smiled at his shyness and replied innocently, „Not much. Why?"

He looked into her eyes and said, „Maybe you would want to have dinner with me then? Like a date?"

Syd smiled again and whispering answered, „I would love to though we are way pass the date period. But come and pick me up at seven and you have yourself a date with me."

He smiled back and took her hand into his as they walked away.

***at Syd's apartment, 18:50 pm***

Syd was sitting on her living room couch, waiting for Gage. For some funny reason she felt butterflies in her stomach and just thinking of him made her knees go weak.

She tried to calm herself 'Syd, it's nothing. You know that he loves you, he told you that. You kissed and....let's not go further. But why am I then so nervous?'

Syd felt like a teenager on her first date with the hottest guy in school.

Suddenly, there was a doorbell and Syd literally ran to get it. It was Gage, of course.

He handed her a white rose and gave a little peck on lips, „For you, Shorty."

His eyes sparkled as he glanced over Syd; she was wearing a red knee-length dress, her hair fell on her shoulders and she looked better than ever.

„Why thank you, Gage,"she told him, blushing a little.

Taking a glance at Gage too, she was not disappointed; black jeans, white shirt and black leather jacket matched him perfectly.

For a moment, as their eyes met, time stopped.

Then Gage collected himself and said, „Are you ready to go, milady?"

Syd smiled; she loved as he called her milady.

Taking his hand, they walked to his car.

***at the restaurant****

The restaurant itself was called „Azzuro Luna". It was a small and quiet restaurant in the centre of Dallas, hidden carefully.

„A table for two under Mr. Gage,"Gage said as he approached the administrator's desk.

The man nodded and showed them to their table; it was cut off from the rest and Syd loved it.

They sat down, ordered some food and started to eat.

While on it, they chatted quietly, laughing as they remembered great memories.

Syd noticed that there were couples dancing and she desired to do that to; just to feel Gage's hands around her.

She was about to ask him that as a man spoke up, „The next song we are playing is with a dedication. It says 'To my lovely Shorty, may you be the happiest girl ever'."

Syd looked at Gage, amazed as he approached her and asked, „May I have this dance?"

She nodded and they started to dance, quietly, just moving in the rhythm.

The words have been drained from this pencil

Sweet words that I want to give to you

And I can't sleep, need to tell you...goodnight

When we're together, I feel perfect

When I'm pulled away from you, I fall apart

All that you say is sacred to me

Your eyes are so brown, I can't look away as we lay in the stillness

I whisper to you, Lady, marry me, promise you'll stay with me

Oh you don't have to ask me, you know you're all I live for

You know I'd die just to hold you, stay with you

Somehow I'll show you that you are my night sky

I've always been right behind you

Now I'll always be right beside you

So many nights I've cried myself to sleep

Now that you love me, I love myself

I never thought I would say that,

but I never thought there would be you...

As the song ended, Gage pulled out a small box and opened it.

Inside was a beautiful diamond ring.

Slipping it into Syd's finger, he whispered, „Marry me, Shorty."

She smiled as tears gained in her eyes and she whispered back, „Always with you."

And they joined into a perfect kiss, full of magic, heaven and love.

THE END

So this is it, where our paths will go apart. You review and tell me if you want something else. Their wedding? Maybe, if you're good enough :p
