Ashley's POV

I was still speechless as we came back to Norman's place. I didn't really know what to say, I didn't really know what to do. All I could do was look at the black diamond ring on my right ring finger. I mean what exactly was he promising me, I never had a promise ring before.

Missy, Roxie and Mingus was tickled pink and all Norman could do was look at me trying to figure me out. I could feel all of them looking at me even though I was still looking at my ring moving it around my finger.

"I'm gonna go check out my room and get it straightened out." Roxie said standing up.

"Go ahead honey." Norman said.

"I'll go give Mason a bath and put him to bed it's 30 minutes past his bed time." Missy said.

"And I will go get on the xbox to play with Chandler." Mingus said as they all left Norman and myself alone.

We sat in silence for a moment. I watched Norman out of the corner of my eye watching the 4 of them leave us. Then he looked back at me and placed his hand on top of mine and squeezed it a little.

"What is it...you haven't said anything since we left the steakhouse?" Norman asked.

"What can I say?" I asked. "I'm speechless." I added.

"Why...because of the ring?" Norman asked as I nodded.

"No one ever gave me a ring before." I said smiling but almost in tears.

"Well I love you, and I wanted to get it for you...Mason picked it out." Norman said.

"I love you too." I said kissing him. "It's beautiful." I added.

"I'm glad you like it." Norman said.

"I love it." I said as Norman looked at his watch.

"Damn I can't believe it's 10:00 already." Norman said. "Let's go I'll run you a bubble bath you look so tired." He added as I nodded.

Once in our room Norman left me to go to the bathroom to run my water while I sat on the bed and looked at the picture of all of us beside the bed. I couldn't help but to smile and to wonder what our life would be like if what he gave me tonight was a an engagement ring. Would I have yes or would I have turned him down? I thought to myself.

"In deep thought?" Norman asked. "Penny for your thoughts." He added as I turned to him and smiled not knowing he was standing by the bed.

"Why me?" I asked as Norman cocked his head to the side.

"What do you mean?" Norman asked.

"Why me? What makes me so special...I know you've told me before but I still don't understand...I mean I don't have anything going for me, just a single Mom that lived with her parents and a bartender at the age of 24." I said. "Why me when you can have any woman in the world but you picked me?" I asked.

"Because you complete me, I love everything about you. I love the way you speak, the way talk to me. I love the way you love me, the way you make me feel...I love watching you sleep, smile, and you are so damn beautiful but that's a bonus. I wish you could see and feel what I feel for you then you would understand." Norman said getting on the floor placing his hands on my knees and locking his eyes to mine. "I want you in my life forever...I never want to lose you." He added.
