A Beautiful Disaster

Chapter 4

"Rae?!", I yelled upstairs. "Yeah?" "Come down here for a second." She ran downstairs and pecked my lips. "What's up baby?", she asked.

"What's this?", I asked pointing at the stack of empty pizza boxes. "I'm sorry. I'll throw them out right away", she said. "You better."

"You are so hot when you boss me around", she said. She grabbed them and walked outside to throw them away.

"Let's go out tonight", I said as she walked back in. "Sure. What do you want to do?", she asked. "Doesn't really matter. What about Olive Garden?", I said. "Sounds great babe." She pecked my lips and I slapped her butt as she walked away.
"I felt that", she said facing me. "That was the point." She just smiled and walked into the kitchen.

A few hours passed and we were almost on our way out. "Ready babe?", I yelled upstairs. "1 minute!" I sighed and sat on the couch. I took out my phone and opened snapchat to take a selfie.

"Date night with my love."

Then she walked in. "Woah. I uh.. I'm.." "Thanks", she said. "No, I uh.. I have never seen you in a dress like that. It was a wine red dress, which was tight on her body, and a little loose at her legs. It fit her perfectly.

I walked up to her and spun her around. "You know.. We can also just stay home tonight", I whispered in her ear. "Maybe. But I'm hungry", she said smiling. "Don't worry, the buffet is open at any time you like", I said seductively. "That's great. But what if I want to save it for dessert."
I sighed.

"Fine. Let's go." "Hey, it was your idea", she said. "I know. Come on." She grabbed her stuff and followed me to the car.

I sat behind the wheel and Rae sat in the passengers seat.

I placed my hand on her thigh and slowly moved it up. "Demi!", she yelled. I giggled. "Sorry."

After about 15 minutes we arrived at the restaurant.

We got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.

"Good evening. Welcome to Olive Garden. Have you made a reservation?" "Yes, on Lovato", I said. "Great. If you'd follow me."

He brought us to our table. I'd already noticed a few people looking at me. One of the reasons we never go out.

"Thanks", we both said as we sat down. "I'll send a waiter to your table." He left.

"Are you okay?", she asked. "Yeah, why?" "I don't know. You seem a bit off", she said. "It's okay if you want to leave", she added. "No, no I'm good babe." She smiled. "If you say so."

"Good evening. May I get you anything to drink?", the waitress said. "I'd like a beer please", I said. Rae looked at me confused. "A water for me please."
"I'll be right back with your drinks."

She left.

"Since when do you drink alcohol?", she asked. "I drank before." "Demi, if something is up just tell me.. please", she said. Her british accent made it sound even more soothing. "I'm okay", I said.

We finished our meals and were about to leave. "I have to the restroom. I'll be right back", I said.

I walked away.

I got into the restrooms and let the water run. I threw some in my face and let out a deep sigh. "You got this Demi", I said to myself. I took out a small, red box, and opened it. "She'll say yes. There's no way she could say no.. right?" I closed to box and put it back in my pocket. I took a deep breath and went back to Rae.

"Ready to go?", I asked. She smiled and nodded. I grabbed her hand as we walked out.

"Rae", I said stopping her. "What's up?", she asked. "I uh.." I shook my head and took out the box. "What's that?", she asked. I went down on one knee as I opened the box. Her eyes widened.

"I'm nervous as hell but I've been wanting to this for a while now." I looked up at her and immediately saw my entire future. I loved her, and I wasn't going to stop doing that, ever. The sight of her made it easier.

"Will you marry me?"
