I Miss You, Miss You

Chapter 7: Best Birthday

Luke and I walked around a bit but it kind of sucked because he had to hide his face a lot. Every once in a while a girl would stop and recognize him, but we would walk off fast. Finally I stopped Luke in a shop.

"Luke, I can't keep running away when a girl notices you. Let's go somewhere else." I sighed.

"Yeah, okay. I understand. Lets go to a restaurant." We walked to a car dealership thing so that Luke could rent a car so we didn't have to walk. He got a nice corvette. It looked really expensive.

"Luke, how about we just get a slugbug?" I said kind of shyly. "Its a lot cheaper."

"No, its fine. Only the best for my love." He smiled and kissed the top of my head. "Come on, lets get going." He opened the car door for me.

I slid in. "Thanks." He nodded and drove off. "So um where are we going again?"

"Just to a little restaurant that Mikey suggested." He kept his eyes on the road.

"Oh, do you think it would be good?"

He nodded as we pulled up to the restaurant. It looked really fancy. Luke gave the keys to the valet. He opened my door and I got out. I clutched my small handbag tightly and grabbed Luke's hand tightly. "Its so fancy here." I whispered.

"Only the best for you." He led me into the restaurant and pulled out my chair for me.

"Thanks Luke." I said kind of shyly. I felt so out of place here. It just wasn't where I thought i should be. I could tell Luke felt that way too. He kept repositioning his tie and he looked nervous. I grabbed his hand from across the table. "Everything alright?"

He looked at me all worried. He was sweating a bit because he was so nervous. "Huh? Oh, yeah, everything's fine love." he tried to smile.

"You sure? It just seems like something is troubling you..." I said softly.

He sighed. "Guess there's no fooling you." He paused. "It's just a bunch of things I'm worried about. Like what if you get homesick and want to go home? What if you don't love me anymore? What if-"

I cut him off. "Luke, why would I ever leave you? I mean yeah, I'm home sick, but your love makes me forget it. I am home when I am with you." I ran my thumb over his hand.

"I-I know" his face turned red. He pulled his hand away from mine and stood up. I was a bit hurt. He started sweating a lot then got on one knee. "Uh- Um- This isn't the place where I wanted to do this, but uh will you marry me?"

That's it. That's the Story.
