Six Months Later

Charlie smiled as she sat down in the chair that was pulled out for her. It had been too long since she had been able to go out like this and she was going to enjoy herself.

This was the first time she had been back in this restaurant since the night Bass had interrupted her date with Shawn, and this time she was going to actually finish her meal without interruption. Or so she thought.

"You've got to be kidding me." She said when she saw him walking up to her table a moment after the waiter walked away with their orders.

Danny, her date for the night, looked up and raised his brows in surprise. "What is he doing here?" he asked as Sebastian Monroe stopped beside their table.

Charlie shook her head, her eyes never leaving the man standing beside her. "What are you doing here?" she asked, as she started to stand.

Holding up a hand, Bass stopped her and in a déjà vu moment he grabbed a chair from another table and sat down. He looked at Danny and smiled. "Sorry to interrupt, but this will only take a minute." He said before turning back to Charlie.

Charlie shook her head again, a smile forming on her lips. She couldn't believe he was really here. "How did you know where I was?" she asked.

Bass smiled at her. "Miles told me." He said, in an 'of course' tone of voice.

"Alright, what are you doing here now? You weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow." She asked.

Bass nodded. "I know, but I got an earlier flight and I had to see you." He said. "Six months ago you said I didn't know you, so I've spent every moment that I could making sure to change that. I know you, and you know me, better than anyone else.

"I know that you hate it when I call you Charlotte, and you know that I kind of like it when you call me Sebastian." He said with a smile. "I know who your first crush was." He said and then turned to Danny and smirked. "It was me." He said in a stage whisper.

Charlie laughed and Bass turned back to her. "And you know what I went through after my family died." He said all seriousness again.

He smiled softly at her as he reached out and took her hand. "I know we've spent most of the past six months apart, but I also know that that doesn't matter, because I fell in love with you just the same as if we spent every day together." He said and Charlie nodded her agreement.

"I love you too." She said.

Bass' smile widened. "Last time we were here," he said and then looked around. "Actually we were over there." He said, pointing to a nearby table with a chuckle in his voice. "All I wanted to do was get to know you, and be some miracle you gave me that chance. Now, Charlotte," he said with a smirk that caused her to roll her eyes. "all I want to do is spend every day getting to know you a little bit better." He said.

Danny couldn't believe what he was seeing, but as he watched, his sister smiled, her lips stretching wide as Bass stood from his chair and pulled something from his pocket as he lowered himself to one knee beside her.

"Charlie, you are the love of my life, you're my best friend, and I would love nothing more than for you to become my wife. Charlie, will you marry me?" he asked as he held a ring up for her.

Danny watched, still silent, as Charlie bit her lip and nodded before saying "Yes." As she launched herself out of her chair and into Bass, her arms around his neck.

Charlie pulled back and held out her left hand for him to slip the ring on as the other people around them clapped and cheered. Charlie smiled and shook her head at him. "You're an idiot, you know that?" she said. "You could have waited until I got home."

Bass raised a brow as they both stood up and retook their seats. "You have obviously never thought about asking, you, to marry you before." He said with a chuckle. "Once I got the idea into my head, there was no waiting."

Charlie rolled her eyes at him but smiled. "You're still an idiot." She said. "But you're my idiot." She told him as she grabbed his hand and pulled him closer.

Danny, no longer content to sit quietly, cleared his throat. "I think that I'm going to go ahead and take me leave, let you two have the table." He said as he stood. "Have fun." He said as he winked at his sister before walking away.

Bass looked at the retreating form of his future brother in-law and nodded. "Have I told you that I like your brother?" he asked. "He's got class."

Charlie's response was another roll of her eyes.

Six months ago she had a date with a cute guy she met at work, and she had had the feeling that the night was going to turn out well for her. Now six months later as she looked across the table at the man sitting there, holding the hand with the sparkly new ring on it, she know, without a shadow of a doubt, that she had been right.
