Christmas day was wonderful. Micheal and I opened all the boy's gifts first, from all their aunts and uncles and, of course, from us. It took a long time, but we managed to open them within forty five minutes or so. Then we opened gifts from each other.
I opened a card from Micheal and smiled when I finished reading it. "I can redeem the massage anytime I want, huh?"
Micheal grinned. "Anytime you want."
"And this says you're taking me out on the town tonight. I have a feeling that you've planned this whole night for a while," I smiled and layed my head on his shoulder.
He put his arm around me and kissed the top of my head. "Yeah, Izzy and Liz promised to watch the boys so we could be alone tonight."
I smirked and looked up at him. "What on earth could we possibly do alone, Micheal?"
"Oh, don't you worry, I've got this whole thing planned out," he laughed when I looked like I was thinking. "Don't go thinking too hard, Deluca. You'll never figure out what I have planned."
We sat this way for a little while longer before cleaning up the mess of papers and feeding the boys. I got all their things together so I wouldn't be looking for it later and I set them by the door.
"Ah, someone's a little eager to get things started," Micheal hugged me from behind and I elbowed him in the gut.
"Someone just wants to piss me off so that nothing happens tonight, huh?" I said and he quickly shook his head.
It wasn't much longer before Liz and Isabel showed up, taking the boys, and leaving us all to ourselves. I was kinda nervous for what was in store for me. I had my suspicions, but nothing could be for certain. Micheal used his powers to dim the lights and light candles.
I couldn't help the smile the graced my face. "Those powers sure do come in handy, sometimes," I laughed and he smiled, too.
"Well, I have gotten better at using them."
"I can tell," I smiled softly and he lead me over to sit on the couch.
"I know what you're probably thinking about tonight and I can honestly say that you're guessing right," Micheal knelt down in front of me and I gasped. I thought he said that he wasn't ready! What if I'm not ready now? Oh, god! "I know that I said to wait until the time was right. I've been planning this day ever since you had Mikey, Brandon, and Nathan, but I wanted it to be special for you. I wanted it to be my gift to you," he paused and took in a shakey breath. He grasped both of my hands in his left hand and reached into his back pocket with his right, bringing out a black velvet box. "Maria Rose Deluca, will you marry me?"
I hate to do this to you guys! But it makes you want to find out what she says! hehe! I'm evil!!! REVIEW PLEASE!
