'Sandy come on we're gonna be late for the movie if you don't hurry up'
'I'm coming would you relax'
'Why is it that any time a new wrestling classic as you call it comes out your first in line, but when a movie of my choice comes you completely stall?'
'You mean when a chick-flick comes out right? They're all the same. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, boy looses girl, boy gets girl back. See I can predict this movie before we even watch it'
'But Sandy it's so much more then that! Come on every girl wants to be swept off her feet like that; these films give the female race hope'
'Oh so you're saying you haven't been swept off your feet?' He had finally exited his room and was moving towards her.
'No I just like being reminded that I have that's all. Don't deny me that'. He wrapped his arms around her waist as he stared into her eyes.
'Really?' he asked as he kissed her gently, pulling her nearer to him.
'You bet'
They got lost in the moment until Kirsten remembered where they were headed.
'You've got to be kidding all the tickets are sold out!' Sandy just had to laugh Kirsten looked so disappointed. It was times like these when he found her most adorable. For someone who was used to getting her own way she hated to be denied anything therefore she put on a sulky face that he just couldn't resist.
'This is your entire fault. If we had been here on time then we would have got tickets'
'Kirsten we're here like fifteen minutes before it starts. It's more your fault, if you hadn't decided to come opening night then there might have been some chance of getting seats'
'Yeah what ever. Look what are we gonna do? We're out so we may as well do something'
'How bout we go get something to eat and then hit the arcade for a bit. Think on the positive side you get to listen to me for the whole evening'
She pushed him gently as she replied 'Oh lucky me. You better win me a teddy at least' and she grabbed his hand as they headed towards the dinner.
Over dinner they planned their summer. Neither wanted to go home so they decided that they would be adventurous, hire a mail truck and road trip around America. Sandy was shocked as the mail truck part was Kirsten's idea. He knew how high maintenance she was but she was adamant that all that mattered was that they were together, plus it meant they could spend quality time together whenever or wherever they wanted. She always no matter what kept him on his toes. He found it amazing that after all the time they spent together the tension between them was still as electrifying as ever. He still made her go weak at the knees, her smile made his heart melt. Everything about this relationship was so perfect to them that they didn't care about the outside world or what others thought.
Kirsten had to laugh at Sandy's attempts at trying to win her a prize. Every stand they went to he seemed to fail abysmally. He claimed that all the games were rigged as not to let anyone win, she just watched in amusement as he lost game after game. She had to admit though, that being entertained by Sandy was a much more enjoyable way to spend the evening then the cinema. He seemed to find irony in everything, there was never a dull moment when you were around him .They were constantly holding hands, kissing or he would have his arm around her waist - Both so comfortable in each others presence. Eventually admitting defeat Sandy decided he would try one more amusement – a game machine. When he was younger back home, there was one of these in his local store and so not having much else to do he mastered the art of egg clamping. He placed his quarter in the machine and began to glide the metal clamp towards the plastic eggs and fair enough he was successful.
'Now I know you wanted a teddy but I think lucky dips are far more exciting don't you?'
He opened the egg and there inside was a plastic ring. The typical tack you would expect in a cheap game. And then it hit him, this was the sign he had been looking for, the perfect moment. He kneeled down on one leg in front of her and took her left hand in his and placed the ring on her wedding finger.
'Sandy what are you doing? Stop joking!' She was absolutely shocked not really knowing how to react.
'Kirsten I've never been more serious. I've been thinking about it a lot recently and I think this sign just proves I was right. You are the woman of my dreams, my soul mate, my perfect person and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to have children with you, I want to sleep beside you every night, I want to grow old with you by my side. You make happier then I ever thought possible so please please say you'II marry me?'
By this point tears were streaming down Kirsten's face and she thought her heart was going to explode. She felt like she had so much to say, so much to tell him. She loved him so much it scared her; she had never felt so dependent on someone. He made her laugh, wiped her tears away, held her when she needed to be held and loved her like no other. But she knew there was only one word she needed to say. One word that expressed a thousand sentiments.
'Yes'
And with that he gathered her in his arms and held her tightly almost fearing that this moment of perfection was going to taken from him.
'I love you Sandy more then you'II ever know. I don't think this could have happened in a more perfect way' and she kissed him with all the passion in the world. He was her Sandy now forever.
'Now if you can find a romantic comedy that tops this unsurpassed moment I will waltz with your father at our wedding'
Kirsten just laughed, typical Sandy 'Oh shut up and kiss me'
