"Babe pick a movie for us to watch." Derek says as I walk into the living room.
"I don't know, let's watch a childish movie. I wanna be silly." I say. I feel like just being childish and crazy.
"Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc.?" he asks, those are my two favorite movies. I really want to watch, Finding Nemo.
"Let's watch Finding Nemo!" I grab the DVD and put I in. I climb on the couch and grab a pillow. I love holding a pillow while I'm watching a movie.
"Come cuddle with me gorgeous." Derek says as he pats the seat beside him. I scoot over next to him and he pulls me into a hug. He starts tickling me, knowing I can't stand being tickled.
"Derek, stop it! No more!" I scream as he continues to tickle me.

As I get out of the shower. Derek is standing in front of the mirror shaving. He looks so good with his facial hair, but it has to be shaved off.
"I'm gonna go to our room and get clothes on, then we can go to dinner. Where are we even going?" I question, he told me to get ready, but he still hasn't said exactly why. He told me dinner and a surprise but won't tell me where we're eating, or what the surprise is.
"Go get ready, I'm still not telling you." Derek says, smacking me with a towel.
" Okay, whatever you say. What should I wear? Something fancy or something normal?"
"Um, fancy would be most appropriate but whatever you want, I'll dress to match you." he says with a wink.

"So I talked to your dad this morning. We were on the phone for about two hours." Derek says as we get in the car.
"Oh, was his truck broke down again or what?"
"No, actually, I called him, had a few questions."
"Oh, okay, what did you have to ask him?" I question, Derek and my dad never talk that long.
"I'll tell you later, we're almost to the restaurant. It's called 'Oranjee.'" Derek changes the subject quickly.
"I heard that place is fantastic. How did you manage to get reservations?"
"I've been planning this for a while now." Derek tells me with a huge smile.
I lay my head back on the seat and close my eyes. I wonder what he has planned. It's probably something ridiculous like a Nerf Gun war.

Derek and I have ordered our food now and now we're waiting.
"Hey babe, try this bread." Derek says and hands me a piece. I bite into the bread and feel something hard. I remove the hard lump from my mouth and it's a ring. I look over to Derek and he is on one knee.
"Haylee Marie Shipman, make me the happiest guy alive and be my wife?"
"Of course, yes, oh my gosh, yes. I love you Derek."
