Chapter 9 - Proposal (1 Year Later)
Gill
Dear Diary,
Wow, it's been like forever since I last wrote in here. Anyways, life is good. I can't believe a year has already past. Where did the time go to? Cause it went so fast. But that's not why I'm writing for. After a whole year of working for my father, I've got enough money to buy a engagement ring for Angie. I'm planning on proposing to her today during the party. I was shock to see that the graduation party was going to be moved to Horn Ranch. But that's because of Hanna's begging and stuff.
I'll write later on..
Gill
I closed my diary and sighed. Looking at my wedding tux that was in my opened closet. It was a grayish-purple tux. Something that my father wore when he got married. And same with my grandfather...and well the history goes on. There was no way that I'm going to wear that to Angie's graduation. I quickly tip toed into my father's room to quickly look for something to wear. I poked my head out of my Mayor Hamilton's bedroom doorway. Yes, Mayor Hamilton was in his room. Getting ready for the occasion. I knocked on the door. Mayor Hamilton turned and smiled when he saw me. "Hello, son. Something wrong?" He asked.
"Yes father, I'm looking for a suit for the graduation." I replied.
Mayor Hamilton looked at me weridly and then walked toward his closet. He open his closet door and pulled out a perfectly size black tuxedo. I smiled. I took the tux and walked away. I thank Mayor Hamilton before I closed the door so he could be in peace again. I went into my room to put the tux on and then rushed back out. I told Anissa that I'll be stopping by her little area before the ceremony starts to give Angie some flowers. Roses were her favourite flowers.
By the time I got to the little shop, Anissa hold a bouquet of red roses for me to give to Angie. I thank her as I made my way to the High School branch. As I got there, Angie was there with Mayor Hamilton. She smiled up at me once she saw me. I blushed but return the smile. The ceremony began as I took my seat beside Mayor Hamilton while Angie walked up on stage with the other graduates.
I remember when I was graduating, it was pretty boring but fun in a good way. I sighed, now it's Angie's turn to graduate and I'm already half bored. Thankfully it ended once the graduates threw the hats up into the air and cheered. I stood up and clapped. Angie was standing there as she gave me a little smile. I smiled back at her.
After the graduation, I walked back home to get change and ready to meet Angie up at her place for lunch. Once I was done, I walked to her house. Once I got there I studied her house. It was ranch that her parents still both run. But now it's just Angie and Molly living in this house since Kasey went with Kevin up to work in the city. I got to the door which was now a pinkish color. I sighed as I knocked on it. Molly open the door and smiled at me. "Good afternoon Gill." She said.
"Good afternoon." I said.
"Come on in."
I stepped in and notice that the whole room is pink. I gulped. Pink, not the best colour for a guy really. Angie came down from the stairs. She was out of her graduate gown and in her normal outfit. But she'll be in her party dress for tonight's party. I smiled. "Hey." I said.
"Hi."
"Can I asked you something, in private?"
"Sure."
I took Angela's hand and walked outside with her. Angela looked outside at the view in front of us. I looked at it too. It was a very nice view. Not a single cloud in the sky. It was crystal blue. The sun made the ocean sparkle from a distance. I looked at Angela and smiled. "I have something to give to you." I said. "And I need to ask you something about it too."
"Oh? What is is?" Angela asked.
"Come with me."
I took Angela's hand and walked her up to her bedroom. She placed her on the bed silently. With one look, I can see the expression on her face, she looked very curious. I sighed as I got teh case with the ring in it and got down on one knee. "Angie, I promise to love you forever and ever. Will you marry me?" I asked as I opened the case to reveal a sparkly diamond ring. Angie looked at me, shocked. Then she gave me a smile and blushed.
"Yes. Of course, I'll marry you." She answered.
I stood up and slid the ring onto her finger. Angie slid her arm around my neck and leaned in for another kiss. Once we let go, we made our way back to my house so we can announce it to Mayor Hamilton.
So far everything is perfect.
