CHARLIE'S POV:
I could feel my hands shaking as I wrote the note to leave on my pillow besides a sleeping Ronnie the next morning. It could either go very wrong or very right, and either way, I was terrified of what the outcome might be. Finishing the note, I turned and saw Ronnie stir, sighing with relief as she turned to face me, her eyes still shut. Standing up, I moved to my side of the bed and sat the note down on my pillow, placing the ring box on top…
RONNIE'S POV:
I groaned as my alarm went off. Reaching for it blindly, I switched it off and sighed heavily, letting my eyes flicker open. Turning my head, expecting to see Charlie still asleep next to me, I was surprised that he wasn't. As I was about to turn back, something caught my eye. Sitting up, I swallowed a lump in my throat as I saw the ring box with a note underneath…
"I've been trying to think of the right moment to do this since I bought the ring so I thought I'd do it now. Sorry I'm not there, but if you say yes then meet me for lunch at The Vic and I'll go with tradition and put the ring on your finger then. Love you x"
Smiling widely as I re-read the note, I set it down and picked the ring box up and opened it, gasping as I saw the most beautiful ring sat inside…
"Ron, are you awake?" Roxy asked as she knocked on my bedroom door, snapping me from my trance
"Yeah, I'm up." I replied
"Good," she stated "I'm taking Amy to school. I'll see you later."
"Bye." I proclaimed
CHARLIE'S POV:
I sat in The Vic at lunchtime, waiting to see and hoping that Ronnie arrived, my head shooting towards the door every time I heard it open. As it opened again, my head turned and I saw Ronnie stood in the doorway, our eyes locking as she turned her head in my direction. Moving down from the stool I'd been sat on, I made my way over to her…
"Hi…" I greeted her
"Hi," she mirrored "are you having another?"
"What's going on?" I questioned as she turned to the bar
"Nothing. We're having lunch, aren't we?" she inquired
"Yeah, I guess so." I replied, sighing heavily "I'll have another beer, thanks."
RONNIE'S POV:
As our plates were cleared I reached for my handbag and pulled the ring box from it, setting it on the table in between Charlie and I…
"Are you giving me this back so I can take it back for a refund?" he questioned
"No, I'm giving you it so you can put it on my finger like you said you would if I said yes." I informed him "I'm saying yes, Charlie."
"Why didn't you say something straight away? I've been feeling awkward this whole time, wondering if you maybe hadn't found it or something had happened…" he proclaimed
"A little bit of suspense never killed anyone, did it?" I inquired
"So you're saying yes? We're engaged?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at me
"We will be when you put the ring on my finger." I informed him
Picking the ring box up, he took the ring from and slid it onto my finger, a warm smile gracing his face as he looked up at me…
"I love you…" he admitted
"I love you too." I mirrored
