I'm walking along the crowded streets of Russia, finally I managed to convince Ivan to populate the streets again.
"What about her?" He asks lazily as we past a pretty red head running inside a shop.
I look thinking for a moment, "her name is Jenny and she just realised she forgot a Christmas present for her nephew so she's looking everywhere"
Ivan rolls his eyes.
"Baby you've been linking everyone's lives to Christmas" He says dryly.
"BECAUSE CHRISTMAS IS THE BESTTT" i squeal.
Me and Ivan's favourite game to play is when we pick a stranger and guess something about them, their name or age or life.
Ivan likes to say everyone is either a drug lord or a serial killer, even the old ladies.
I pull him as we round the corner to see the Christmas lights get turned on for Christmas Eve.
"Try not to orgasm when the street lights up" he huffs.
I stick my tongue out and he death stares me.
"Извините меня? Когда загораются огни? Для Рождества?" A woman asks.
(Excuse me? When do the lights go on? For Christmas)
I pause for a second figuring out her words and remembering what to say.
"She doesn't speak-" Ivan begins to say.
"через минуту начнется через минуту" I say quickly.
(it's in a minute, it starts in a minute)
She nods smiling and Ivan kisses me, "god your sweet"
"You learned Spanish I learn Russian!" I say happily.
"I understand Spanish I don't speak it super fluently." He says, I smile.
He's just being modest, which is weird.
The lights turn on and I gasp suddenly.
The buildings all light up with green colours and reds.
Twinkling lights wrap around the lam post and I laugh happily.
The whole town laughs and cheers even Ivan smiles, a real smile. My absolute favourites.
We watch for a few minutes until the square clears out as it's late.
"I need to go to the store come" Ivan says pulling me.
I frown, he never does.
He hates shopping unless it's something designer.
Snob.
We walk through a park and I smile as I admire all the snow covering everything in a white blanket.
The clock strikes midnight on Ivan's watch and I yell "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!"
I jump onto him and kiss him again and again.
"Want your gift?" He asks.
"You brought it here? God your so annoying" I laugh a little but nod yes.
He tells me to close my eyes and I do.
When I open them I see nothing but I turn a little to the right to see the closer building to me light up with beautiful white lights.
MARRY ME?
I gasp and spin around to see him on his knees holding a beautiful ring.
I open my mouth in shock.
"I will do it right. I love you, we can go wherever you want have whatever wedding you wish. It means nothing to me as long as I have you. I love you Elle. Marry me?" He says.
I let in one shaky breath.
"Yes" I say.
He visibly relaxes and I lean down to kiss him and hug him tightly tears flowing.
"Yes I will marry you"
