Hey guysssss! So I know some of you have hugely reviewed stories, but I personally am totally thrilled with 40 reviews. In all honesty, I would love more than that, but I am so encouraged with the ones I have that I'm not going to withhold anything, just because of the "small" number. So that was a really long way of saying thank you so much for all your reviews and favorites and follows! ps- no guilt trips intended, please don't interpret it that way, I'm just an awkward writer sometimes xD

So here is the looked forward to chapter (at least by me) of Simon proposing (fangirl squeaaaaallll).

I've started using songs for inspiration, and the ones I used are

Take Your Time - Sam Hunt

I Choose You - Andy Grammar

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

As you will see, I use a couple of these songs in the chappie, but that won't always be the case.

I'll shut up now, enjoy the chapter!

SPoV

I swallowed nervously, and wiped my sweaty palms on my jeans. In approximately half an hour, I would be down on one knee. In five minutes, I would be playing my guitar for Izzy. One more nervous swallow, a shaky breath, and another addition of moisture to my jeans, and then I started my internal pep talk.

C'mon, Si. You both love each other, and what's more, you have for a while. If anything happens and she says no, you WILL recover, because we give things up for the people we love, even if it kills us. Not hellllping Si. Seriously, the chance she'll say no is like 1%. If we do get married I am never letting her co-

I was interrupted from my whirlwind of thought by Izzy entering the room.

"Heyyy Si! What did you want me for?"

This is it.

"Well - ahem - I wanted to ask you a quick question, but first, do you want to hear my two newest acoustic covers?"

She smiled, and replied happily in the affirmative.

I sat down and began to play my cover of Take Your Time by Sam Hunt. When I finished, Izzy's eyes were slightly glassy.

"That's a beautiful song!"

I smiled, and moved on to I Choose You by Andy Grammar. When I finished, before she had time to do anything, I slid off my chair and onto one knee.

"Isabelle Sophia Lightwood, I have been in love with you since the day I met you. Even after I tasted your cooking." We both chuckled at that, tears streaming down Izzy's face. I took a deep breath and continued. "I played those songs for you because each one has a special meaning to me, and I hope that they will come to have that meaning for you too. The first one I played was us when I first met you, and the second, well, it's now. So, I have a very important question. Isabelle Sophia Lightwood, would you do me the incredible honor of becoming my wife?"

Izzy let out a sob, her smile the biggest I had ever seen it. She flung herself into my arms, knocking us both over, but I couldn't care less.

"YES YES YES YES OH BY THE ANGEL YES!" She shouted. I started crying happily too. We held each other for a while, before I realized something.

"Izzy?"

"Mmmh?" She murmured absently, playing with my hair.

"Can I put the ring on you now?"

She laughed, and replied "Of course! I was so happy I kind of forgot all about it."

"What, after the money I spent on it?" I replied in mock offense.

She laughed and kissed the corner of my mouth, extending her hand for the ring. The band was silver, with a large wave of diamonds, and then a smaller wave on each side. She gasped "Oh Simon... It's beautiful!" We shared a sweet kiss, and went downstairs to show off the new piece of jewelry.

Sooooo what'd y'all thinkkkkkkk? I would have made it longer, but I'm walking out the door as I click save, sooooo...

free hugs!
