Chapter 12

Manuelo Delvalle, me, was the happiest man in the world. Me and my ex-wife had been dating for about a month and I was going to ask her to marry me that night. I put on my best suit and went to pick her up. When I got to the door, right when I went to ring the bell Ryan opened the door.

"Dad," he already knew about tonight." Mom is in her room. I told her you were here and she is almost ready."

"RYAN!!!" called Dani," Let your father in!"

"Okay, Mom." Ryan looked at me." I hope she says yes."

"Me too." I said.

Ryan and I walked inside and saw Dani standing there. She was wearing a black mini-dress. "Wow," I thought," She has great legs!"

"Hey, Manny."

"Hi, Dani. You look...great."

"Thanks. Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, sure."

"No, listen kids, while your father and I are gone I want you to behave. You know the rules."

"Okay mom. Go have fun.," said Marisol, who also knew about tonight.

"Bye!" everyone called at the same time.

When we got to the restaurant everything went perfectly. Dani was having fun, I was having fun, I think the only person not having fun was the lobster Dani was having for dinner. But anyway, on the way home (you don't want to know the boring details of dinner.) I took a different route.

"Manny, Where are we going?" asked Dani.

Just then I pulled over. We both got out. "Follow me." I said. We walked on a path, side by side until we came to a clearing. It had bushes and roses and flowers surrounding it, with lights, and a gate. It had soft music playing. It was perfect.

"Oh, Manny it's beautiful!" exclaimed Dani.

"Dani we have been dating for a month now. We know each other so well, and we have two wonderful kids. Daniella," he got down on his knee," will you marry me?"

Dani looked shocked, "Oh, Manny...Yes, I'll marry you!"

"You will?"

"YES!!!!"

"Manny stood up put the engagement ring on her finger and looked deep into her eyes. "Dani, I have been waiting for this moment since the first time I saw you. I love you so much. More than you will ever know."

"I love you to Manny." They both came closer and kissed each other. When they finally came apart Dani said, "How do you think the kids will react?"

"I'm not sure.' according to the plan Marisol and Ryan were supposed to act like they didn't know." I think they will be very very happy." He smiled at her and she smiled back, I leaned in and kissed her again.
