Ram POV
The last six months have been amazing. I did buy a house, but it was with Kat. We've been living together for the last four months. Ranger and Stephanie got engaged about three months ago, and it got me thinking. Kat and I are already living together, but I want to make her mine, and me hers, in every way possible. I never thought I'd be the marrying kind or family type of guy, but all of that changed the night I met Kat. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
I got together with Steph, who had been singing with Kat for the last five months, and asked her if she would learn a special song for me. She was hesitant at first, but when I told her the reason for it, she was excited to do it. I had been planning this for about a month. I spoke to the band and the club owner. I even talked to Lester and Ranger. I never thought proposing would be this stressful.
It was Saturday and Kat was out shopping with Steph. I made my phone calls and made sure everyone knew that tonight was the night. I was going to ask Kat to marry me. I was a nervous wreck. Ranger had given me the night off, but Kat didn't know that. I was going to go to the club in my uniform, but change into nice clothes right before I pop the question. Everything was ready, and everyone was ready. I just hope she says yes.
Saturday night finally came, and I was watching her on stage. She was magnificent. I still don't know how I got to be so lucky; or why she picked me, but I was grateful. Steph came up behind me."You ready Ram?" She was smiling. I swallowed the lump in my throat.
"Ready as I'll ever be I guess." My hand was in my pocket gripping the square box. Steph looked me in the eyes.
"She's going to say yes Ram. She loves you." I smiled and calmed down a little bit. I nodded. "Well then, let's get this show on the road. The song is almost over." Steph and I headed towards the stage.
After Kat ended the song she looked over and noticed Steph and I standing on the stage too. She had a puzzled look on her face. I walked over and took the mic from her hand. I cleared my throat.
"I remember the first night I met you. First, I heard your voice, and it tugged at my heart. When I finally saw you, it felt as if you were looking straight into my soul, and singing to me." She brought her hands up to her mouth. "I believe I fell in love with you that night, and I have continued to fall in love with you a little more each day night since then. We made it through some rough times. You made me feel like maybe I did deserve to be loved and be happy. You are my entire world. I love you with my body, heart, and soul. Katarina Novak, will you please make me the happiest man on this planet" I got down on one knee and pulled the box out of my pocket and held it up to her, "and become my wife?" I saw tears streaming down her face. She nodded her head, and wrapped her arms around me.
"YES, YES! A thousand times yes!" I put the ring on her left hand and kissed it. Then I kissed her with all of the love and passion that I had. I suddenly heard Stephanie begin to speak.
"And now the happy couple will have their dance. Congratulations you two." Steph started to sing Skyfall, and I led my bride- to-be to the dance floor. Everyone around us clapped and congratulated us. I looked into her eyes, and I saw my furture. I finally understood what love can really be, and that I too, was deserving of it.
