"Come on Izzy!" Alex yelled to his girlfriend Isabel who was in the bathroom of the house they owned.
"I'm coming!" she yelled back at him. She looked in the mirror and stroked some eye shadow and smiled in the mirror. She opened the door and walked out.
"Wow," Alex was stunned at her beauty. She wore a long mauve dress. Her blond hair was up with a few strands near her face. "I guess it was worth it."
"Yeah. Come on. We'll miss our reservations," she smiled and grabbed his hand taking him outside.
~The
loneliness of nights so long. The search for strength to carry on. My every
hope had seemed to die. My eyes had no more tears to cry. Then like the sun
shined from up above. You surrounded me with your endless love. And all the things
I couldn't see are now so clear to me. You are my everything, nothing your love
won't bring, My life is yours alone, the only love I've ever known. Your spirit
pulls me threw, when nothing else will do. Every night I pray down on bended
knee, that you will always be my everything~
"Reservation for Whitman," Alex told the waiter.
"Yes sir, right this way," the couple followed the waiter to a secluded table.
"Thank you," Isabel sat at the table and Alex helped her in. "This place is wonderful Alex."
"I'm glad you like it,"
"Of course I like," she smiled. A waitress came up to the table.
"Would you like some champagne?"
"Sure," Isabel answered. "Is that alright?"
"Yeah," the woman poured the bubbly liquid into the two wine glasses.
"Thank you," she walked away. "So here's to our anniversary."
"Our anniversary," they clinked glasses and sipped from them.
~Now all
my hopes and all my dreams are suddenly reality. You've opened up my heart to
feel, the kind of love that's truly real. A guiding light that'll never fade.
There's not a thing in life I would ever trade. For the love you give and won't
let go. I hope you always know, you are my everything, nothing your love won't
bring. My life is yours alone, the only love I've ever known. Your spirit pulls
me threw, when nothing else will do. Every night I pray down on bended knee,
that you will always be my everything~
TWENTY MINUTES LATER
"I'll be back in a minute Alex. I need to powder my nose,"
"Okay," she got up and walked off carrying her matching purse.
She doesn't need to powder her nose. Alex thought. She's beautiful just the way she is. He snapped out of his thoughts. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a velvet box. He took a ring out of it and placed it in Isabel's wine glass and filled it up. A few minuets later Isabel was back in her seat.
"You look great,"
"Thank you," Isabel put her purse next to her feet and took another sip of champagne. She felt something touch her lips and as she put the glass down she heard a clinking noise. She stuck her fingers in and pulled out the golden ring that had a sapphire in it. "Alex…"
~You're
the breath of life in me, the only one that set me free and you have made my
soul complete for all time. For all time. You are my everything, nothing your
love won't bring. My life is yours alone, the only love I've ever known. Your
spirit pulls me through, when nothing else will do. Every night I pray down on bended knee that you will always be my
everything~
Alex took the ring from her hand and got down on bended knee in front of her.
"Isabel, I love you so much and you know that. And you just make my whole life totally complete. I just wanna ask you if you will give me the honor of being your husband?"
"Oh God Alex…" he took her hand and slipped the ring on her finger.
~You are
my everything, nothing your love won't bring. My life is yours alone, the only
love I've ever known. Your spirit pulls me through, when nothing else will do.
Every night I pray down on bended knee that you will always be my everything~
"Yes Alex, yes," Isabel answered and was almost crying. Alex smiled and stood up kissing her. The whole restaurant clapped for the new engaged couple. They laughed at the cheering.
"Thank you,"
"What did you think I would say?" she now had a tear making its way down her cheek. They kissed again.
~Oh my everything~
