Hey all, sorry about the late updates, things have really been pilling up. But the good news it that I'll be doing a chapter a day if not every other day or so!
That's right, Ash Ketchum was buying an engagement ring, for none other than the love of his life, Misty. It still felt strange to him, being in this store. He never thought he would see himself in this situation for the next few years! But after thinking it through, he knew it was the right decision. It was Misty after all, the girl he craved, the girl he couldn't get his mind off, the only problem was how would he do it? I mean, he had a few idea, but he wanted it to be a night she would never forget.
As he was daydreaming the old man gave him a confused look and cleared his throat
"Young man?"
"Oh, sorry about that, I was wondering if you could help me choose out an engagement ring?" He said, giving a grin from ear to ear
The old man just smiled and nodded
They both walked down the display cases, talking about the bride to be as to choose the best ring for her
Eventually Ash saw something that caught his eye, a beautiful emerald diamond with water pokemon carved on the band
"I'll take that one" He exclaimed, pointing at the ring
The old man just chuckled as he opened the display case to grab it
"Wise choice young man"
The old man placed the ring in a small box, carefully handing it to Ash. He then paid and walked out of the store, a big grin on his face for the future he had in mind. He couldn't wait to get back to Misty!
MISTY POV
"Good thing that he's gone" She said as she plopped down on the couch, flinging her feet up to rest on the couch adjacent to her.
She flipped through the channels until she found a show bearable enough to watch, it had something to do with brides who go crazy during the preparations of the wedding, or something like that
"Man, I hope I never get like that. That is….if i'm lucky enough…"
Misty loved Ash, but sometimes she thought he was as romantic as a rock, sure the sex was ecstatic, but when it came down to actually going out, she never saw it
All she could do was sigh as she turned the TV off and laid back, thinking about that special day.
What she would wear, where it would be, who would be there, what would they eat?
All sorts of things going through her head, going over every detail. She didn't want a big wedding, just family and a few friends was all she needed
*BUZZ**BUZZ**BUZZ**
She looked over to see her phone ringing, popping up on the caller ID was Ash
"Hey babe" She said, laying back down on the couch
"Sup beautiful, what are you up too?"
"Nothing much, just sitting here watching TV" She said getting up and looking out the humungous window, overlooking most of the Plateau
"Sounds boring!" He said laughing to myself
"Yuuuuppp"
"Well, just wanted to call and say I love you."
"I love you too" She said, giving off a little blush in her cheeks
"Oh, and prepare to go out tonight for dinner, wear a nice dress!"
*CLICK*
"What? Ash?! Fucker."
What was that all about? Was this a new side too Ash? Why all of a sudden did he want to go out to dinner? Wear a dress? Since when did she ever wear a dress? Guess it was time to go shopping! She quickly grabbed her purse and rushed out the door.
Full of excitement she rushed down to the lobby to get directions to the nearest store to fit her needs. Getting the directions she ran outside, hailing the nearest taxi she could and headed off
Getting out she stood in awe at the mall in front of her, quite possibly holding thousands of stores! All she cared about was not getting lost, she mozzied her way into the mall and with luck finding the store only a few minutes in.
Misty glanced through the dresses, trying to find the best one to fit her, nothing too flashy, but just enough for Ash to notice
After looking for what seemed like hours, and most likely trying on every dress in the store she finally found the one.
It was a strapless aqua short dress. Coming up about halfway to her thighs and giving off enough cleavage to make Ash quiver in his seat
"God damn do I look good in this" She said, giving herself a twirl, giggling to herself
She quickly changed out of it and put her normal clothes back on, walking out of the dressing room and to the cashier. She couldn't wait to get home
*A Few Hours Later*
Ash finally comes back from his errands, carrying a few bags of random stuff he bought to make it look like he was actually out doing errands
"Misty? I'm back" He called out, getting a response from the bathroom
"I'll be out in a minute!" She said, quickly closing the door
Ash just looked at the door in confusion, boy was he in for a surprise.
He went to the room to change into some nice clothes, bringing out a tuxedo he had worn a few months back. He couldn't quite remember what for, maybe a wedding? No, he'd remember that, someone birthday? Doesn't matter, he was just glad he didn't have to go buy one
It took him only a few minutes to get dressed and "comb" his hair, but then just messed it back up, he didn't look like Ash with his hair combed.
He walked out of the room to see Misty standing at the door.
Her hair in a bun..
Her tight aqua dress..
Her black highheels..
Ash just stood there dumbfounded, getting a slight giggle from Misty.
"You ready?" She said, putting her hand on her hip
He finally snapped out of it
"Yes ma'am"
The two of them walked arm in arm to the parking structure, quickly finding the car Ash had rented for the night
Misty was astonished he had gone this far, what else did he have planned?
The two of them hopped in the car and proceeded out of the parking structure, Ash putting in some directions to the navigation device in the car, showing it would be a short 10 minute drive
"So Ash, what's the occasion for tonight?"
"I can't take my beautiful girlfriend out to a nice dinner once in awhile?"
"That's the problem. You haven't" She said sternly.
"Better late than never eh?" He said with a wink, causing the both of them to laugh. The short car ride was filled with small talk, mostly of what the other person did today and stuff along those lines, until the car pulled up to a place Misty was never expecting
"l'Altopiano?" Misty said, confused as to what the sign outside meant
"The fuck we doing at a piano place?"
Ash just let his head hang
"It's an Italian restaurant" He said giving her a peck on the cheek, giving off a small chuckle as Misty finally understood
"Ohhhhhhh"
Ash parked the car around the side and the two walked in hand in hand, being greeted by a waiter
" ?" The waiter asked
"That'll be me!" He said enthusiastically , walking up and shaking the waiters hand
"Right this way sir" He gestured with his hand
Ash and Misty then followed him towards the back where they were placed in a small booth, where at the table they found a bucket of ice and 2 bottles of champagne in it
"What are you getting at?" Misty said, nudging Ash as they sat down
"Oh you know, the usual, get you drunk, have my way with you, that kinda stuff"
"Ash Ketchum , you sure are something"
Soon the two ordered their food, both have a glorious time, each enjoying the company of each other. Looking up the both of them caught eyes, the love in their eyes was un matched to anything else in the world, soon it seemed like everything was tuned out and it was just the two of them, just them in a perfect world. He had her, and in return she had him
The glow in her eyes, man oh man could he get lost in those adorable eyes of hers, those rosey red cheeks, her perfect lips that he loved to kiss, everything about her was perfection. He thought it was now or never, at first he had butterflies, and nasty churning in his stomach, but he knew she was the one, the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
She was the love of his life
Without speaking he got up and went over to her
"Ash? Is everything alright?"
"It's more than alright baby" He said, getting down on one knee
"Ash what are you…." She stopped dead in her tracks
Could he? Is he?
Ash pulled out a small box from his jacket pocket
"Misty.
