It's a short chapter, but it's pretty good too if I do say so myself. I don't really know how it happened, but it did and I think you guys will like it. Enjoy!
When Mimi got home that evening, the lights were off in the apartment, but two candles were burning on a table with a lacy tablecloth and two plates set. Roger was standing there, with a bouquet of roses in his hand.
"Hello Mimi," he said, kissing her hand.
"Roger, what's this about?" Mimi asked.
"Mimi Marquez," Roger said, "I love you!"
Mimi giggled. "Well, you sure know how to show it. But what about Mel?"
"I broke up with her. And no hard feelings either. She and Mark are getting married. Now come on Miss Marquez and take a seat. I've prepared a nice dinner for you."
"Married!" Mimi squealed, "My best girlfriend and your best friend are getting married! Isn't that romantic?"
Roger smiled. "Yeah, very. Hm, I was going to wait until after dinner, but I think now is a good time." -he got down on one knee and took Mimi's hand- "Mimi, you know how much I love you. And even though we didn't part on good terms when you reentered my life again I realized how much I love you and how much I appreciate you and how much I want you to be in my life forever. Mimi Marquez, will you marry me?"
Mimi gasped and tears filled her eyes. "Roger I," she began, "Roger. Roger. I…of course I'll marry you!"
Roger smiled widely and got up from the floor and picked Mimi up, spinning her around.
"Roger!" Mimi yelped, "Stop it! Put me down!"
He did so and kissed her. "Better?" he asked.
"Much."
"Hungry?" Roger questioned.
"Not anymore," Mimi answered, "I'm too excited! I've got butterflies in my stomach."
Roger pouted. "But what about the romantic dinner I made for you?"
Mimi laughed. "Maybe you can make me hungry again. I'm always hungry after a nice workout. Why don't we go for a romantic walk through the park and then come eat and celebrate."
Roger's eyes lit up. "Sounds good to me!" he said, escorting his fiancée out the door.
