"I think it was your accent that I fell for" you say laughing.
"Oh haha very funny" Ashton says.
"Okay fine. But it did help. In all reality though, I think I was just intrigued that you were from the other side of the world. I felt like I would never run out of things to talk to you about, and I was absolutely right."
He smiled and just looked at you.
"What?" you ask, curious why he won't take his eyes off of you. "Would you say something already?"
"It's just, what you just said, that is exactly why I liked you. Somehow, of all the people around me, you stood out as the one I could learn the most from. The one that I could talk to every day and never get bored. It just amazes me that, even from the beginning of our relationship, we had the same idea."
"Well, you know what they say, great minds think alike."
"Absolutely," he says in his wonderful voice. "I'll be right back. I need to make a quick call. Sorry babe."
"It's okay."
Ashton walked away from the table and you continue eating your food. He had brought you to your favorite restaraunt and if you were being completely honest, you were really enjoying it.
When Ashton came back you both enjoyed the rest of your meal and as you were leaving he said he had a surprise for you.
"Okay..."
"Don't worry. I know you'll like it. I promise you'll like it."
He drove you to the park and it was all lit up. "I've never seen the park like this. Do you know what it's for? It looks incredible. They should do it like this more often."
"It does look good. And...I do happen to know why but I'm not at liberty to say right now." He winked at you and got out of the car.
You hop out, really curious now. "Wait, how do you know? Why won't you tell me? I wanna know Ash!"
"You'll know soon enough. Just come with me."
You follow him onto the playground and he sits you on a swing. He starts pushing you and when it starts to get really high you laugh. Ashton lets you slow down and then he has his arms around you. But you see something in his hands. It's a box. A black velvet box.
Ashton is coming around you and suddenly he is on one knee in front of you, "Shaila, please marry me. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
All you can seem to do is laugh. But it's a happy laugh. You look at him and smile and laugh. "Of course. It's not even a question. I love you."
