Tracy and Antonio went back to the boat after lunch. Tracy is in the shower freshening up. Tracy finishes washing her hair. She is standing in front of the mirror. She wipes the condensation off it. She pulls the hair dryer off the wall and starts to dry her hair. Ten minutes later she finishes drying her hair. Antonio sneaks in the room. He hugs her from behind and pulls her into his chest.
"You know hot water dries your skin out right?" Antonio asks.
"Yes, I know that's why they make moisturizing body wash," Tracy says.
Antonio chuckles at his girlfriend's response. "Can I ask you one more question my little angelfish. Why do you wear your class ring as a necklace instead of on your finger?" he asks.
"It's a tad too small and I think it looks better on a chain then my finger." she answers.
"Have you ever thought about getting it resized?" he asks.
"Por supesto I have my golden knight. I never found the time considering we had to save the city remember," she replies.
"You have plenty of time now, so how about we head a jewelry store in town in a bit." he suggests.
"Sounds like a good plan." she says.
Antonio leans in close and gets a whiff of Tracy's chocolate covered strawberry body wash. He starts to kiss her neck. He uses his tongue to draw little hearts on her neck with every kiss.
"My golden knights that tickles can you please stop." she says through another giggle.
He continues kissing her neck. Tracy wiggles out of his grasp. Then she starts to walk out of the room. Antonio takes a hold of her left wrist and gently pulls her back in towards him. He tilts her chin up and leans in. They share a gentle kiss. Tracy wraps her arms around his neck asking him to deepen the kiss. He places his arm around her waist and pulls her in closer to shorten the distance between them. The kiss becomes more passionate. The kiss ends and they back away from each other.
"I'm sorry honey, but I really want to do a little shopping. After we go to the jewelry store that this." Tracy says.
Antonio nods and lets her leave the room to get dressed, Antonio hops in the shower and a few minutes later they head to the jewelry store. They walk in the store.
"¿Te puedo ayudar?" the employee asks.
Dang it, Why can't I remember any of my Spanish? Tracy thought.
Another employee walks in.
"You two are from the cruise, don't worry you don't have to speak Spanish. I'm can help you two," the woman says.
"Thank you, my ring is too small so I need it to be resized," Tracy answers.
She leaves to go get the key chain with all ring sizes on it. They walk over to the counter to wait for her to return. The worker comes back three minutes later. Tracy takes out her class ring so they can compare its size to the new ring. The class ring was a size 5 1/2. The new ring is a 7. Once she finds her new size, Tracy gives the employee her ring and the woman goes in the back. The worker comes back with her ring.
"We do resize for free, so there is no charge." The woman says.
"Thank you," Tracy says.
Tracy starts to leave but notices that Antonio isn't leaving. She turns back around to face him.
"Why aren't you leaving," Tracy asks.
"I have something else to take care of; I'll meet you at the magic fountain of Montjuic in a few minutes." He answers.
Tracy has a good idea what he is up to. She smiles and tells him not to take too long. Tracy walks into a cute little clothing store. The sales person had already seen several people from the cruise so she spoke English. Tracy introduces herself to the sales person. The sales person helps her find a few new outfits. Tracy walks over to the dresses and finds a really cute dress. Tracy goes to the dressing room to try it on. Tracy didn't have any intention of getting a new dress. The sales person tells her how great she looks in the dress. Tracy loves the dress and convinces herself to buy it. She changes back into her regular clothes and goes to check out. The cashier tells her that she has great taste. Tracy thanks her for the compliment and pays for the cloth and leaves the shop. She heads to the fountain. Meanwhile at the jewelry store, Antonio and the women who helped Tracy with her ring are talking.
"I don't mean to intrude but was the girl you with your wife?" the woman asks.
"Oh no, she is my girlfriend. I'm planning to purpose to her soon, though." Antonio answers.
"Wow, that's great so how long have you've been together?" the women asks.
"A year and half" he answers. "Has your girlfriend picked out a ring?" the woman asks.
"Yes, she has," he answers, as he takes out his phone. He shows the women the photo of the ring Tracy wants.
"Wow, she has great taste." the woman says.
"I know, but I want to make a little change to the design." he says.
"How do you want to change it?" the woman asks.
"I want to scatter gold and silver gems on the rose. Then have the center have a gem half gold and silver," he says.
"That would look so beautiful. Are you planning on buying the ring today?" The woman says. Antonio nods. "I'll have the ring maker get right to work. We'll call you when it's ready."
Antonio gives her his phone number and leaves the store. Tracy is standing in front of The Magic Fountain of Montjuic waiting for Antonio. Antonio walks up and sees that his girlfriend has a few shopping bags in her hands.
"Did you have fun shopping my little angelfish?" He asks.
"Yes, I did sweetie and I found a really cute dress too." She answers.
"Can I see this cute dress?"
"Maybe are we planning on eating dinner on the ship or at some restaurant her in town?" She replies.
"I was thinking we could find a restaurant and have some local food."
"Sounds good to me," She says.
"When do they light this baby up anyway?"
"I think right after sunset." She answers.
"Okay, so we have some more time to explore."
"Yes, we do my golden knight. How about we head to La Alhambra?" She suggests.
"That's a garden right?"
"Yes, and it supposed to be a great place for a romantic stroll." She says.
"Cool, so how's about we head back to the ship to drop off these bags. Then we can head to La Alhambra." He says.
Tracy nods and they head back to the boat. They enter the room and Tracy sets her bags on the bed. "Are you going to change into this new dress that you bought?" Antonio asks sweetly. Tracy nods and carries the bag with the dress in it to the bathroom. Tracy comes out a few minutes later in a traditional Spanish dress. Antonio walks over to her.
"Wow, you look amazing." He compliments.
"Thank you my golden knight," Tracy says.
Then they leave to head to La Alhambra. They enter La Alhambra and Tracy fell in love with it. "This place looks even more amazing than it did online." she says.
"That's good to know." Antonio says.
They spend the next ten to fifteen minutes walking through the garden and after they finish their walk through La Alhambra. They decide to head to Tapa (this is a Tapas, Spanishrestaurant in Barcelona) for dinner. After dinner they head back to The Magic Fountain of Montjuic. On the way back Antonio feels his pocket vibrate. Antonio tells Tracy he would meet her at The Magic Fountain of Montjuic in a bit.
"Antonio did you buy an engagement ring?" Tracy asks.
"I can't get anything past you can I?"
"No you can't my golden knight." She replies.
Antonio answers his phone and the woman tells him that the ring is ready. He tells the women that he would be there in a few minutes. Antonio tells Tracy he would be right back. She nods and continues to The Magic Fountain of Montjuic. Antonio enters the jewelry store and pays for the ring. The woman gives him the ring and he puts it in his pocket. Then he leaves the store. Antonio gets back to The Magic Fountain of Montjuic just as it lights up and water shoots up into the sky. Tracy turns around and walks over to him.
"Hey my golden knight, so do you want to watch the light show with me?" She asks.
"I would love to in just a second."
"What do you mean honey?" She asks.
"Tracy I wanted to wait till we got the Paris to do this but my heart just can't wait." He says. Behind them more water shots up into the sky as the fountain lights begin to change color. "Tracy you're beautiful, kind-hearted, and brave. I'm the luckiest man alive to have gotten the chance to get to know you. I'm tired of calling you my girlfriend." He bends down and pulls the ring box out of his pocket. "Tracy will you marry me?"
Antonio opens the box and looks up at Tracy and sees tears of joy running down her cheeks. "Does that look on your face mean yes?"
"Yes, Antonio, of course I'll marry you." Tracy says through the tears.
Antonio slides the ring onto her finger and gets to his feet. He puts the other ring on his finger. They share a gentle kiss. Then they walk to the fountain and watch the light show hand in hand.
