Bring It Back

Propose at First Sight

I walked up to my parents hotel room letting out a big sigh. I knocked a couple times and they finally answered. They engulfed me in a hug squeezing me tighter then ever. I chuckled hugging the back. They let me in as I sat on the couch in front of them.

"So glad to here from you! How's Cassidy?" my dad said shaking my knee.

"We're okay dad, thanks" I replied smiling.

"What brings you here?" my mom blurted.

"Mom, dad, I wanna marry Cassidy" I sighed nervously shaking my knee.

They looked at me stunned.

"W-what?" my mom said.

I nodded.

"Oh but you're oh so young sweetheart" she said chuckling nervously.

"I'm gonna be eighteen this year mom" I said trying to reassure her.

"Are you sure you wanna do this son?" my dad said leaning in.

I sighed and nodded.

"I love her more then anything dad, really" I said with glossy eyes.

They smiled at each other and hugged me.

"We'll tell Aaliyah, call her parents" they said together holding my shoulder.

I kissed my mom's cheek and headed out towards my car. I dialed Cassidy's parents number telling them everything that happened. Her mom was crying and her dad in the background was hollering in excitement. I don't blame them. This rush of excitement came over to just buy a ring and do it! I went to the jewelry to pick out the best ring. She's gonna be so surprised. They was she made me felt, she must want to be married. The way she smiles makes me wanna nose dive into a pile of flowers. I just want to kiss her all the time. She's the type of girl who can make you the happiest person in the world but still make you want to fuck her on the kitchen floor. I picked out a ring that had a stem band and a big diamond rose sitting on the top of it. I snatched it, paid, and ran back to the airport. The plane ride was a couple hours but I nervously fell asleep to the sound of the thunder rolling in.

When I woke up, I was in Toronto. I jumped off the plane heading to the baggage to get my stuff and there she stood. My future wife. I was so scared but ecstatic to see her. I walked up slowly to her playing with the ring in my coat pocket. When she saw me she jumped into my arms kissing my cheek.

"How was your parents?" she asked smiling grabbing one of my bags.

"Good, I told them some good news" I shrugged.

"And your sister? I just texted her yesterday" she smiled.

"Oh she wasn't there but they wanted to tell her" I chuckled.

She smiled and nodded. We headed home silently listening to the radio as I held her hand. I pulled into the driveway and she helped me with my bags. I couldn't stop staring at her naturally straight hair. The way it covered her face to make her look shy but she's really the most outgoing, down to earth, fun loving person you'll ever meet in your entire life. How was I so lucky to stumble upon this perfect woman? After an easy break up swearing I would never get another girlfriend and then BAM! Cassidy came and made my life challenging and fun. She cared about everyone, especially me. She asked how I was everyday to make sure that I was doing okay. I would tell her the same. "As long as I'm with you, I'm perfect in our own perfect world". She loved when I'd say things like that. It'd make her cheeks turn pink and her eyes glow. We sat down on the couch and I told her I was going to the store. Maybe I should make her dinner? God, I want this to be perfect but I want it to be amazing. She needs to remember this. I grabbed some flowers and then headed back. I found her sleeping in our bed, so I closed the door quietly and began to set up. I decided to set up the backyard with some twinkling lights, me singing, a romantic dinner, I would pick out her dress, and send her down using cute little notes. It was around 7 so it was time. I made fettuccini, set some flowers guiding her to the twinkling romantic backyard with little notes along the way. A beautiful dark green dress was sitting on the bed waiting for her. I waited about 30 minutes and then she slowly walked out the door. She gasped covering her face with the flower in her hand.

"What's this Shawn?" she asked choking on her words.

I get down on one knee, open the box, and smile.

"Oh my god" she said chuckling.

"Cassidy Richfield, since the day I met you-" I started nervously.

"You know what fuck it" she said jumping into my arms pressing her lips on mine.

I chuckled in the kiss. I slid the ring on her finger.

"Will you marry me?" I finally asked.

"Yes of course yes!" She chuckled pecking my lips.

I chuckled holding her tightly. I knew at this moment right after she told me yes, that I would be the happiest person to ever walk the earth all i needed to do was to bring it back.
