"Roza...?" I couldnt keep the hesitation from my voice, her name came out low and husky.
Her gorgeous brown eyes looked up at me from the other side of the table, she lowered the fork in her hand and tilted her head to the side in the most adorable way that my mind went blank for a moment.
She smirked lightly at me as she noticed the blank look that must have shown clearly on my face.
Eventually my thoughts came back to me, as did what I was planning to do next. I reached down and put one hand in the pocket of my duster, my fingers curling around the small velvet box that was hidden away in there.
"Roza, its been almost two years now, two years since you accepted me back into your life, accepted me into Masons life and its been the happiest time of my life. I couldnt imagine my life without either of you in it, I know Ive said this often but I never want to be away from you again..." I quickly moved out of my seat so that I was kneeling infront of her, she gasped loudly and placed a hand over her mouth as I pulled the small box from my pocket and held it up to her. "My Roza, will you marry me?"
Her eyes were wide as she just stared at the small silver diamond ring, its ruby red stone in the middle glistened beside the two smaller diamonds in the light of the candle on the table. My heart started pounding in my chest as the seconds of silence ticked by... I was suddenly afraid that she would say no, that she wouldnt want to be my wife...
We had been officailly dating for the last year and a half, I lived with her and Mason in her appartment and I had been contemplating asking her for a few months now, I had even asked Masons permission. He was extatic, bouncing off the couches and yelling excitedly.
Rozas hand finally dropped from her mouth and a wide smile lit up her face, she nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, yes Comrade I will." She beamed, lifting her left hand so I could slide the ring onto her finger, it fit perfectly and I marvelled at the way it shone on her finger as I placed a soft kiss on her knuckles.
Her hands cupped my cheeks and she swiftly pulled me toward her and kissed me, her lips molding with mine. Her breath was warm and sweet, her lips tasting of chocolate. I pulled back and leaned my forehead against hers.
"I love you Roza, forever."
"I love you too Comrade." she breathed as she studied the ring on her finger, the ring that would very soon bind her to me forever.
The smile on her face was the most breathtakingly beautiful thing I had ever seen...
