My eyes widened as all sorts of thoughts flew around my head.

What is he doing?

Is he going to propose?

No.

Why would he propose?

That's ridiculous.

But he has a box. And he's down on one knee.

oh shit.

I snapped out of my thoughts when Ian started to talk.

"Natalie, I know this is ridiculous, but I have to ask," he said, staring right up in to my eyes, "From the first day I met you, at the diner I mean because let's face it the meet and greet didn't go so well." This earned a small giggle from me.

"Anyways, from that first day I knew I had to get to know you more. And when we hung out properly I knew for certain I liked you. A lot. There was an instant connection. Heck, I even opened up to you about my divorce before I even told my best friends. That has to count for something, right?" He laughed nervously and opened up the box to reveal the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen, "So, I just wanted to know, because I love you so so much, Natalie, will you marry me?"

It wasn't until then that I realised I'd been crying. I slowly knelt down so I was eye-level with him.

"Ian, I-" I started, and saw his smile falter slightly, "The last time I said yes to someone he left me. Obviously it wasn't his choice but Liam left a hole in my heart and nothing- not even you- has been able to fill it. It's not that I don't want to marry you, because I really do, but how do I know you won't leave me like he did?"

Ian dropped the ring to the floor, and wrapped his arms around me tightly, "I would never leave you. I promise. I love you, Natalie. Nothing can change that."

I sniffed as I thought it over, but eventually whispered, "I love you too, so yes, I will marry you."

Ian broke out into a wide grin, and gently placed the ring onto my finger, with me sniffling and giggling the whole time. I admired the way the light reflected on the diamond.

I looked up to see Ian staring at me, a happy glint in his eye. I pulled him into a long kiss.

I was getting married!!!!
