After the night out with our families, myself and Mason had been seeing each other frequently and had gone on a few date nights. Tonight we were going to a restaurant in the Shard Hotel, London. We were leaving this afternoon to make a day of it, we planned to go to watch a musical in the West End before having our meal. I got ready at my apartment and packed my overnight bag, with my dress for tonight packed in there. I put my bag by the door and waited until Mason arrived.

He arrived and knocked my apartment door. I let him in and he took my bag to the car, the sound of heels following behind. We got in Masons car and began our journey to the centre of London.

After around an hour, we arrived at the West End Theatre. It was so exciting for me, as ever since I was little I use to come to musicals with my real dad, who later left me and my sibling with our mother, who took a turn for the worst after his departure. But any how, we parked the car and walked hand-in-hand into the theatre. We too our seats in the private booth, with popcorn and our bevy's. The show of Les Miserables began, with myself and Mason fascinated on how amazing it was. A little while later, we left the West End and decided to head to the hotel and have a drink at the bar before checking in. Mason drove us there and parked in the car park, we enter the hotel and headed for the bar, before taking a seat on the stools and ordering. We decided on the finest champagne there was, which I insisted on paying for, shortly before heading to reception to check ourselves in for the night. We headed to the luxury penthouse we'd booked and settled our luggage in before getting ready for our three-course meal,we planned ahead. I put my dress on, fiddled with my hair and makeup before we headed to the restaurant on the top floor.

The waiter, led us to our table, which was in the corner overlooking the lit up city of London, the view was breathtaking and Masons face had show the agreement of my thought. We looked through the menu and decided what we wanted, ordering the food with the waiter from before. Mason placed his hand on mine, squeezing it softly. "How amazing is this view" he said his eyes lingering on me, "it's beautiful, I've never seen London for the high and lit up" I smiled peaking out of the window, he laughed and I raised my eyebrows before realising what he meant, making me blushing. Not long after our appetisers arrived and tucked in.

We'd just finished our meal and had just ordered a last round of drinks. We were chatting and I felt as though Mason was becoming nervous, I wondered what was the matter but stayed silent, just as he spoke "you know I love spending time and just being around you, I can't see my life without you in it or how I lived my life without you being apart of it. Romie, will you be mine?" I was shock, I was not expecting that, who am I kidding I guess I kinda was "always" I said with a smile before kissing him gently. After we finished our drinks, we headed to our room, changed into sleepwear and had some 'fun' before dozing off the sleep, wrapped up in one another.
