My Homeroom Teacher is My Husband (Completed)

Chapter Twenty-Three

William's P.O.V

We got into the car and started toward the restaurant. Sammy looks amazing in the dress I got for her.  I'm getting really nervous. My hands are staring to sweat. We pulled up to the restaurant and got out of the car. 

We walked in and it was the same man I talked to the other day to make the reservation. I hope he doesn't say anything about the reason why.

"Hello, sir. Do you have a reservation?" He looked up at me then over to Sammy. 

"Table for two under Chandler."

"Ah, yes. Right this way." He nods at me as if he approves of Sammy, not that his opinion mattered.

We were seated by a window that had a wonderful view of the sunset. After a while the server came over and we ordered some food. Sammy got some weird pasta and salad combo while I got stake and potatoes. What can I say, I'm a meat and potato kinda guy.

We ate our food and just talked about random things. After we were done eating that's when she finally asked me why we went out.

"Will, why did you buy me these clothes and jewelry?"

"For tonight." I was going to give her very vague answers until dessert came.

"Well what's tonight about?"

"It's about us, going out to eat. We haven't done it before."

"Well i know that. But why are you acting so weird?"

"I'm acting weird?" I ask tilting my head looking at her. I place my chin on my hands and smile over at her.

"Yes, like the look you are now giving me. What's wrong? Did something bad happen? Oh god, you lost your job because the board of education found out your dating a student and now she's pregnant. That's why the fancy dinner. So you can break it to me gently. I'm so worry Will. I knew this would happen sooner or later. I just didn't think it would be now. What are we going to do? I can't work because I'm pregnant, they wont hire me just to have to give me maternity leave. I guess I could always borrow some money from my mom until you find another job."

I gave her a weird look. Where did she come up with that?

"Sammy, I didn't lose my job."

"Oh thank god. I was really worried there for a second."

"Why would you think that?"

"Because the last few days you've been acting weird. You don't sleep much, you hardly eat, and you avoid me when we're at home. I just thought you had bad news for me."

"No, not bad news."

"Oh, good new than?"

"Well I hope it will be good news."

"Huh?" She looked at me weird when i said that. Just than the dessert was set on the table. I had the restaurant place the ring inside her slice of cake. Of course it was wrapped up in a small plastic bag so it wouldn't have cake all over it. 

"Nothing. Why don't we just eat our dessert." I said with a smile. I started to eat my dessert and watch Sammy at the same time. After eating half of her chocolate cake she set her fork down with a weird look on her face. She looked up at me then back down at her cake.

She pulled out the plastic bag and tried to see what was inside. But she couldn't so she gave me another weird look. I just smiled at her. She opened the plastic bag and looked over to me. While she opened the bag I got down on one knee beside her. She covered her mouth and looked like she was about to cry. I really hope those are tears of joy. I take the ring from her and hold it out to her still on one knee.

"Samantha Marie Summers, Sammy, I love you more than words could ever describe. I don't want to go a day with out having you by my side. I've loved you since we were children and always dreamed of having you be my wife. I promise I'll be the best husband and father to our children I possibly can be. Would you have this one of the happiest days of my life? Will you please marry me?" 

She still had her hand over her mouth. She was crying. She nodded her head. "Yes. A million times yes!" 

I placed the ring on her finger and she hugged me. She pulled back from the hug and gave me a kiss. I sat back in my seat and noticed that everyone in the restaurant was staring and clapping. They soon went back to eating and minding their own business. I was so happy I didn't really care what was going on with everyone else.
