The end hope you enjoy. Thanks for reading
Sonny showed up at my house early Saturday morning, and it bothered me a lot. I was feeling very self-conscious of myself, as I'd only answered the door in a pair of pajama pants.
My hair was a mess, and I felt very disoriented and sleep-addled.
Today was our Ninth month anniversary, and Sonny had promised to take me someplace special.
"Get dressed sleepyhead!" He was grinning from ear to ear as he bounced through the door. "We've got a big day ahead of us, babe." He pecked my lips, and I whined and fell onto the couch.
"Awww, someone didn't get enough sleep last night." Sonny giggled, and sat down beside me, holding me tight.
"I missed you last night." He kissed my forehead, and I smiled up at him. "I missed you too Sunshine."
He grinned and put on a fake, angry expression. "You know I hate it when you call me that."
"Yes, but blame the person who gave you the name Sonny."
I winked, and sat up before kissing his lips. "I'll be right back, I'm gonna go get ready, okay?"
"Hurry!" Sonny smiled. "I have someplace really special to take you."
I rolled my eyes and shot him a smile before disappearing upstairs. When I returned, I was wearing my every day apparel, which consisted of a pair of black jeans and a blue bottom down shirt.
"You look amazing." Sonny grinned and hugged me close.
"Okay, so, you ready to go?" He locked his hand in mine, and I nodded, though he was already dragging me out the front door.
"What's got you so excited and worked up?" I giggled and poked his cheek as we walked down the sidewalk.
"Oh, nothing." He smiled at me, and I kissed his cheek, grinning sheepishly as I did so.
Sonny had taken me to a variety of places, and we had ended the day by going to the Brady Pub, which he had got my grandmother Caroline to close it for a few hours just for us.
I had agreed, and we began to walk around Horton Town Square, hand in hand. I could feel Sonny shaking against me, and I wondered why he was so nervous.
After awhile, I turned to him, and wrapped my arms around his neck. "What's going on with you Sonny?
You're shaking like a leaf."
"Huh?" He tilted his head, blushing bright red. Even in the dim light of the sunset, I could see his cheeks turn pink.
I shook my head and giggled, before squeezing his hand.
As we neared the park, Sonny suggested we take a break. I started to sit, but before I could, he had already dropped to one knee. My breath caught in my throat, and I felt tears in my eyes when he spoke his next words.
"Will... I know this is kind of early, but I love you... and I want to be with you forever. I want to know that I will be with you forever... so... William Robert Horton... will you marry me?"
He looked up at me in anticipation as he opened a small jewelry box, containing a silver ring.
"Sonny...I..." My breath caught in my throat again, and I threw my arms around his neck. "I do!"
He fell backwards with my unexpected tackle, and I landed on top of him. The jewelry box and the ring landed near us, but neither of us seemed to notice, or care. I leaned close to his lips, my hands on either side of his head, and kissed him deeply and passionately. "I love You Sonny..."
"I love you too Will..." Sonny smiled and brushed my left cheek. "Always.." He picked up the ring from where it lay on the ground and slipped it onto my finger.
I smiled and kissed him again before laying my head on his chest as we watched the sun sink below the horizon.
