"Grayson, let me see," I beg, the smell of food wafting into my nose.

"It's a surprise," he laughs. At this I stay silent. Grayson is taking me on our first date and he wants everything to be perfect. But the truth is that I wouldn't mind just him and I talking over coffee and donuts.

"Open," he says, and after all the suspense I can't quite bring myself do it. But with all the butterflies in my stomach, I force them open.

I gasp at the sight before me. We're at Disney Land and Grayson has set up a whole cute dinner with roses and champagne.

"For my princess," he gestures, pulling out my chair. I almost cry at that, but willingly take my seat.

I'm ready to eat, when Grayson grabs my hand, the cutest smile on his face. He kind of just plays with my hands for a while, smiling nervously.

"Grayson, are you alright?" I ask, raising an eyebrow at his strange behavior. He lets go of my hand, running a hand through his hair.
"I'm perfect," he grins.

"So can we eat now?" I laugh. We all know how much I love food.
He shakes his head.

What's going on?

"Azacia, there's something I need to tell you,"

At those words, the butterflies already flare up within my stomach. My heart rate picks up and I feel like I might be sick.

"You cheated on me already?" I joke, hoping to settle the mess going on inside.
He looks offended. "How could you ask such a thing?"
"I'm sorry," I say, "I just don't know what to expect."

He grabs my hand once again. "I want to show you something,"
With that, he leads me out of my seat and towards the front of the park. There are candles laid out and bright purple lights illuminate the area where we stand.

"Azcacia, I've poured my heart out to you once before and if you weren't sick then, you might be now.

"All I wanted tonight was a chance. A chance to prove to you that I'll never be good enough, no matter how hard I try. For you to see that you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I- " he stops, to look down at his feet.
"Azi, I love you," he whispers, finally looking me in the eye again.

But now it's my turn.
I take a deep breathe before I start.
"Grayson, I never thought we'd ever end up here right now. I never thought I'd ended up liking you, let alone having you as my amazing boyfriend. And that's exactly what you are: amazing. I hate being so dependent on you, but you've made my life better.

"Grayson Diego Lively, I'm so madly in love with you and I hope you're mine till the end of time,"

Immediately, he pulls me to him, hands wrapped around my waist. "You're all I've ever wanted and more," he whispers.

A tear falls down my face as he pulls back. He cups my face with his cheek before placing a soft kiss on my lips.

"Okay?" I ask him.

"Always."

So, sorry for the long wait and sorry if it did not live up to standards.
