Ch.33

That night of the 'special event' everything was going right so far. It was a cold night, Allie wore long black jeans with black leather ankle boots, a red turtle neck and a black Melton wool peacoat. Chloe wore navy blue jeans with black low heel boots, red blouse and black leather jacket. So they were both nice and warm ;)

Chloe picked up Allison and they went to Starcity Park. Chloe and Allison bought some hot chocolate and walked around talking, saw and did everything that was said before. The park was beautiful. Bushes and tree's as well as the gazebo were decorated and full of beautiful pink twinkle lights along with white star-shaped lights.

Allison and Chloe talked about heading to college and what would happen after and just girly stuff but leaving out boys especially Shayne.

~Shayne and Jerry arrived at starcity at around 8:45pm. Jerry knew Chloe would be there with her so he went with Shayne that way while Allison and Shayne talked, Chloe wouldn't be there or walk off alone.~

The band that usually played in the gazebo was on a small platform about 30 feet away from the gazebo. They played light classical music when not playing instrumental versions of songs requested by people there.

Chloe suggested that her and Allison sit in the gazebo for a while and just look at the amazing dark yet light-filled sight of the entire park. Which for Chloe was to look out to find Jerry or Shayne.

Chloe sat on the right side of Allison. She turned to her right to see Shayne and Jerry standing feet away from them, yet not visible to Allison, looking towards the gazebo. Chloe and Jerry nodded their heads to one another telling each other it was now time. Chloe turned to Allison ..

"Uhm Allie, I'm gonna go buy another hot chocolate real quick ok" Chloe said as she stood up.

"Good idea, I'll go with you Chlo', I'd like another one too" Allie said starting to stand up. 

"NO!" Chloe said a bit too loud which made Allison give her a weird look.  Chloe quickly smiled and chuckled  "Its ok Allie, you sit here and enjoy the view, I'll just go real quick and get 1 for the both of us, no need for both of us to walk all the way over there, I have two hands you know?" Chloe said nonchalantly.

 "Ok, Chloe you go get 'em" Allie said laughing.  Chloe smiled.

Chloe walked down the 3 steps of the gazebo and looked over again winking at Jerry and slightly motioning to him to go with her and Shayne with Allison. 

"Ok man, this is it here's your chance" Jerry told Shayne as he patted him on the back. Jerry walked towards to his right towards Chloe and Shayne nervously yet excitedly walked forward towards the gazebo Allie was sitting in.

Allison sat there looking around ,she closed her eyes and breathed in the cold yet fresh night air hearing the instrumental version of "unchained melody" one of her favorite songs. It was a perfect night. Well semi perfect because deep inside she wished Shayne could've been there with her. She could picture her and Shayne sitting on one of the benches near the lit gazebo, holding each other, drinking their hot chocolate and looking up at the beautiful star filled night sky and expressing the feelings they had for one another. But that wasn't going to happen, not after what he did. Allie pushed those thoughts out of her mind. She opened her eyes as she heard footsteps coming up the steps onto the gazebo thinking it was Chloe. She opened her eyes and froze in disbelief when realizing that those footsteps weren't Chloe's but Shayne's.

"Shayne" Allie whispered not knowing if to get up and run or sit there.

"Baby, we need to talk" Shayne said standing in front of her.

"No Shayne, what are you doing here? How did u know I was here? You better leave Chloe will be back any minute and she's mad at you too" Allie spoke quickly not really knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Chloe wont be back soon" Shayne said looking over his shoulder, Allie looked and saw Chloe and Jerry standing away from them , then turning and walking away.

*Oh I cant believe Chloe tricked me into coming here knowing Shayne would be here * *why did she do this to me? *  Allie thought.

"Shayne, what do you want? Why don't you understand that I don't want to talk to you or see you"

Shayne sat very close next to Allie facing her as she moved away a bit which made his heart break.

"Allison, I'm tired of this. I hate that we're not together, I hate James for what he did to you, I hate myself for hurting you by doing what I did….. Baby you have no idea how much I regret what has happened. If I could go back and change things I would start when I made you mad because of my stupid jealousy at the beach and everything after that. But I cant do that, what I can do is regret it, never ever do anything like that, and beg for you to forgive me and have me back babe." Shayne's words were getting to Allie, she could feel and know that he really did regret what had happened and knew he was really sorry. Shayne continued… "Allison, I cant live without you. You're everything to me, there's no other person in this entire universe I would rather be with than with you. You have brought a new light, love, happiness, desire, a lot of new feelings and emotions to my life that I cant live without and wont get from anyone else."  Allie could feel her eyes tear up and saw that Shayne was fighting back tears himself.

Allie didn't know what to say, she felt exactly the same way but didn't know if the trust she once had for him would be there again or was gone forever.

"Shayne, I don't know what to tell you, I mean, I believe that you regret doing what you did but I don't know if I can trust you. How do I know that next time we argue over something or argue over YOUR jealousy you wont go get drunk and cheat on me again? How can I truly believe everything you're saying is true? Like I said before, you're a 'celebrity' you can go and get whoever you want whenever you want. How do I know you wont go for someone hotter and better whenever something isn't right between us?"

"Allison I don't want anyone else. There's no one "hotter" or "better" to me than you! No one else can make me feel the feelings I feel when I'm with you, no one can have the love I have for you. No one can possibly ever satisfy me in any way other than you. Baby I know you're not gonna trust me right away but I plan on earning that trust no matter how long it takes me. Please believe me because everything I've told you and am telling you I truly mean with everything that I am Allison."  Allie could feel her cheek cold while the wind hit the tear that slid down. "I love you Allison Carter".

Allie looked into Shayne's love filled eyes knowing hers were the same and finally said, "I love you more Shayne Wst".

Shayne smiled and inside that beautifully lit gazebo, tightly embraced Allison in his arms. Damn, how much he yearned to have her in his arms again and this day had finally come. Allie felt so blissful and safe in his arms again. They held each other for a good while just embraced in each others arms and smelling each others' scent until Shayne let go. Starring into Allie's eyes he held her face gently in his hands caressing her face while moving in and kissing her so lovingly on the lips. How glad he was to taste her sweet lips again.

Allie pulled away and looked down. "Baby what's wrong?" Shayne asked confused.

"Shayne, you leave to Prague this week, you'll be gone for months, this just wont work" She said as another tear came down her cheek.

"Allison I want you to come with me"

Allie was shocked to hear this "What? I cant go to Prague with you, I have college in a month, Shayne just accept it , this wont work."

"Yes it will Allison, I already lost you once, I'm NOT loosing you again,  I'm not taking that risk, please baby you can take a year off and start next fall."

Allison didn't care if she had to take a year off as long as she was with Shayne but what if it didn't work? Could she risk taking such a big chance on her life and go off to another country?

"Shayne are you serious? Are you sure this is what you want? I mean am I sure I can take a year off?"

"Yes Allison, I'm positive about wanting you to go with me. There's nothing more I want than to be with you"

Allie knew she would have to discuss it with her mother first and make the arrangements to start school until next fall. She loves Shayne and Shayne loves her.

"Ok Shayne" Allie said. .. "really? You'll come with me?" Shayne asked with such happiness in his voice. .. Allie smiled and said "yes" Shayne smiled and went in to kiss Allison. He hugged her then stood up bringing Allie up with him.

"Allie there's something else I want to tell you or should I say ask you" 

Allie couldn't possibly think of anything else he could ask her or tell her now that they had reconciled and agreed on her going to the Czech Republic with him.

"Allison, I love you so much, no words can even begin to describe how I feel about you. I can't possibly imagine the rest of my life without you in it…. I truly feel blessed to have found you."

"Baby why are you telling me this? I already know and I feel the same way babe" Allison said in a giggling tone and loving look while caressing his face.

Allie gasped in a happy yet confused shock as she saw Shayne, right there in the middle of the beautifully star lit gazebo, go down on one knee, holding her left hand with one hand and a black soft covered box on the other which was open exposing a beautiful platinum band engagement ring with a big sparkly round shaped diamond setting in the middle and 5 mini princess shaped diamonds on each side. 

"Baby, will you marry me?" Shayne asked with a loving hopeful expression on his face.

Allie covered her mouth in surprise… she didn't know what to say. All that ran through her mind was. *Oh my god! * Shayne!* what do I do?!* yes?* No?* I love you too, I'll go to Prague with you!* but marriage??!?!* We're too young!!!* I'm too young!!!* what if?!* what do I say?!* this is a huge step!* oh god!* MARRIAGE!!??* I'm sorry?! I cant! Its too soon!!* she thought, still not answering.

Allison took a deep breath and answered………
