Chapter 12: Proposal

Cruz smiled contentedly as she laid her head on Bosco's shoulder. Tonight had been

fantastic! They had both dressed up in fancy clothes and Bosco had taken her out to the

fanciest restaurant in town, Le Baton Rouge. They had eaten dinner there but Bosco said

he wanted to take her somewhere else for dessert. Bosco drove slowly, working himself

up for what was coming. When Cruz looked up she saw him pulling into his own garage.

"Bosco? Where are we going? This is your house" Bosco smiled "I know, just follow

me." He took her hand gently and led her into the building. He helped her up the stairs

and into his apartement. "Bosco? What's going on?" Cruz asked warily. Bosco didn't

reply but led her into the living room. Cruz gasped, it was beautiful! Bosco had strung

fairy lights all through the dark room, giving it a romantic feel. A small table was placed

in the center of the room, covered in a sating cloth, a chocolate cake in the middle. But

what struck her most was all the roses, they were everywhere. One small bouquet was on

the table, but the rest were strewn across the room. A slow song played in the

background, softly

But I
I love it when you read to me
And you
You can read me anything

Cruz looked at Bosco "What is going on?" Bosco smiled at her "Just wait and see" He

took her hand gracefully and led her around the table. "Let's eat dessert first" They ate

almost silently. Cruz waiting and Bosco nervously fingering his pocket.

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it is just transcendental
Some of it is just really dumb

When they finished Bosco went and turned the music a little louder then came back into

the room. He went up quietly behind her and put his hand around her waist. "Maritza,

will you dance with me?" Cruz looked at him in disbelief "Yes, of course Bos" She stood

up and took his arms. He led her away from the table and enveloped her in his arms,

swaying gently to the music

And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings

Cruz leaned into his embraced, then leaned up and kissed his chin, she loved it when he was like this. He kissed her on the forehead and squeezed her waist gently. "I love you Bos" He looked down at her gently "I love you too Ritza"


And I
I love it when you give me things
And you
You ought to give me wedding rings
You ought to give me wedding rings

Lyrics to "Book of Love" By Peter Gabriel

As the song ended Bosco gently let her slip out of his arms then kneeled in front of her on

one knee. Cruz gasped softly as she realized what was going on. "Bosco" she breathed

softly. He put a finger to her lips and gently said "Shh" He took her hands gently and

began "Maritza Cruz, I want this night to be special. I'm so glad you forgave me and

gave me a second chance. When you didn't I couldn't believe my luck. I loved you so

much, and that has only increased as I got to know you. When Mikey died I realized that

you can't ever take things for granted and that I didn't want to lose you. I love you so

much, I want you and only you to carry my children so Maritza Cruz, will you do me the

honour of becoming my wife?" He gently held out the black velvet box, opened it and

held it up to her. Cruz threw herself down on top of him, kissing him wherever she could

reach "Yes!" she cried in between tears and kisses. She pushed back for a minute and

held out a shaking hand to him. He slipped the gorgeous ring onto her finger and kissed

her delicate hand. "Oh Bosco!" she sobbed "Thank you, thank you so much" He held her

tightly almost afraid to believe that she had accepted him then said "No Maritza, thank

you"
