The apartment was at the outskirts of town. It had a balcony out front, where the boys had put some pots with plants and flowers, and a cozy corner with a table and two chairs.
This day began as any other free Saturday, Reid waking Luke up with a passionate kiss, and Luke making his famous pancakes.
"Your pancakes we're great," Reid said, and this time they actually looked like pancakes"
Luke blushed.. he knew he wasn't the best cook in the house, but if Reid liked it, he was satisfied.
"Listen", Reid said, "after breakfast I have to go to work and go through some paperwork, I'll be back around dinner."
"That's OK," Luke answered, "I have to run some errands myself."
Blowing a kiss to Luke, Reid left the house.
But...he wasn't going to work, there was something else he was up to...
Reid stopped his car in front of the florist, and once inside he picked the most beautiful and colorful flowers.
"You are going to make the lady very happy," the man behind the desk said. Reid smiled, "Yes, I think 'HE' is going to very pleased with it."
With a bouquet of flowers in his hands and a blushing florist left behind, Reid left the store.
"OK," Reid mumbled, "on to the next."
Meantime, Luke wasn't aware of the plans his curly-haired beauty had made.
Reid stood a while in front of the window of the next store he went to, the jewelery shined and glimmered in front of his eyes.
Upon entering the store, a small bell tinkled, and a young lady greeted him with a friendly nod.
"Can I help you Sir?" she asked.
"Yes," Reid said, "I need the most beautiful ring in this store, and money isn't a problem."
The lady smiled, and she seemed to understand what Reid was looking for because she walked towards a small display-case, and when she came back, she had a little box with her.
"This is the most precious jewelery we have in store. It's for very special occasions," she said with a big smile.
Reid's eyes raked over the rings, and within a split second he took one ring out of the box. "This one," he said.
The young woman smiled at him, "You are quite certain," she said.
"I always am," Reid said, while thinking of the first moment he met Luke at Memorial.
The woman wrapped the ring up in a classy black gift box. "Good Luck," she said when Reid left the store..
Satisfied with what he had accomplished, Reid stepped into his car and made his way home.
Luke wasn't home yet, so that gave Reid some time to prepare his little plan.
He unpacked the flowers, lit up the candles,and ordered some food from Al's.
Pretty proud of himself, Reid looked at the result of his efforts. Their living room looked very cozy, almost romantic.
A few minutes later, Reid heard the keys at the front door... Luke...
With a big, "Wow!" Luke came inside.
"Hey you," Reid said.
"Hi," Luke answered.
"What is all this?" Luke asked, curious.
"This is my surprise for you," Reid answered.
Luke looked around, their living room was filled with candlelight and beautiful flowers, the dinner table was nicely, although a bit clumsily decorated.
But to Luke it looked perfect.
"Do you like it"? Reid asked.
"Do I like it?" Luke said, repeating Reid's words. " Are you kidding me? I love it!"
"OK," Reid said, a little nervously, "sit down, 'cause I'm starving."
As a real gentlema,n Reid pushed Luke's chair in to the table. "Thank you," Luke said.
"So, what are we celebrating?" Luke asked, curious, with his eyes focused on the man in front him.
Reid stood up from his chair and walked towards this beautiful brown eyed man, who was watching every move he was making.
"We've been living together for almost three months now," Reid started, "and this living together thing, which I thought wasn't me", Reid continued, "well,I found out, that it is me. YOU are my right direction, Luke."
"And you are mine," Luke answered, "I am exactly who I want to be, and that is because of you, Reid," Luke said.
Reid smiled a little shyly, "Let me continue, before I start babbling again," Reid said.
From his back pocket Reid grabbed the black gift box. A little awkward, he bent down on his knees in front of Luke while opening the box,
Luke's eyes got bigger and bigger after seeing the ring, even a small tear showed up.
"Luke, will you become my right direction for now and always?" Reid said,while taking a deep sigh of relief.
Luke jumped off of his chair to join Reid on the ground, and put his arms around him.
"YES, OH YES," Luke said, with tears running from his eyes.
And with the most passionate kiss, they sealed their love.
"OK, that's that," Reid said, "Are you ready to join me at the table, MR LUKE OLIVER?" Reid said with a loving smile, "because this dinosaur is really hungry!"
