Austin's Pov

I woke up one morning. Ally and I had been together for 4 months now and it was so amazing. Our careers were steady and she was the best girlfriend a boy could ask for. I decided today was the day. I was going to go out and buy a ring for Ally. After I got dressed and said goodbye to Ally I headed for the mall. I had secretly dug through Ally's jewelry and found that she wore a size 6 ring. That would come in handy. I was not so nervous about asking Ally as I was more intimidated by buying the ring.

When I arrived at the store I was greeted by a nice sales woman. "Hello, my name is Marianne. What can I help you with today?" she said. "Well" I said "I'm looking for a ring. I want to propose to my girlfriend and I need that something special". "What does she like?" asked the sales lady. I thought for a second then said "I think that she would like some sparkle but nothing super elaborate. Something on the simpler side that still has some sparkle". The lady went behind the counter and after a minute beckoned me over. She had picked out probably 20 different rings. I looked at one but when I saw the price I quickly put it back. After a long time I finally picked out a simple silver ring with one big diamond in the middle and two smaller ones on the side. It was beautiful. I just hoped Ally would love it. I purchased the ring. Now I just had to figure out how to ask the question.

While I was on my way home I thought about how I would pop the question. It had to be perfect. I finally decided I would take Ally to dinner that very night at a place with a lovely garden. After dinner we would walk around and at some point in the garden I would kneel and ask.

When I arrived home I hid the ring as I walked in. "Hey where were you?" asked Ally. "Oh" I said "I just went out for coffee. Hey um I got us reservations tonight at 7. I hope that's ok. Please wear something nice. Its that place with the garden". Ally smiled and said "That's fine. I will be ready at 6:30". "Awesome" I said. I really hoped this went well.
