30~The Proposal

*one week later*

(Alexander's POV)

Yes!

We finally graduated I'm a free person I can do whatever I want!

Everything was great, John told he was taking me on a celebratory graduation date. So... That was gonna be fun.

"Hey you ready?" John called while I was buttoning up my black shirt

"Yeah" I called back

I walked out of the bathroom and stared at an amazing looking John.

His body alone was like, woah

"You look amazing" I told him

"Not as amazing as you babe" He replied wrapping his arm around my waist.

We walked to the resturaunt intertwining our fingers. We were met with a lot of dirty looks given to us by strangers. Who cares though?

When we got to the resturaunt, we sat down, ordered our drinks and sat. Literally did nothing, I didn't say anything,John didn't say anything, we just sat there. Doing. Nothing.

Until John spoke up

"Hey, uh... Erm. I have no idea"

Great. Now I have to start the conversation.

"Heh, um, why didn't you invite the rest of the squad?" I asked. I was actually curious on why he just took me on a date instead of having the celebration with the rest of our friends.

"Oh, um, well, I just wanted to go on a date." He explained "Just you and me, ya know?"

I nodded in response not knowing where he was going with this.

An idea popped into my head, causing me to smirk, but I quickly pushed the thought away and decided to change the subject.

"So, what are you planning on doing with your life?" I asked

Thats when I realized, I had no where to go. I had no family to stay with, I had no money to buy a place of my own, I could get a job bit I still wouldn't have anywhere to go after my shifts. I was alone.

"Well, I wanted to be a marine biologist"  John said snapping me back into reality.

"But, that's too difficult so I might just work at an aquarium. I don't know, maybe I won't do either."

I nodded

"What are you planning on doing?"
John asked me.

"Oh, um I don't know" I said Unintentionally sounding disappointed.

Then John asked the one question I didn't want him to ask.

"Where are you gonna go?"

I had been avoiding this question, not because I'm embarrassed. Well, that's part of it, but mostly because I knew he would offer for me to stay with him and I didn't want to intrude.

"I don't know..." I replied looking down, fiddling with my hoodie strings.

"You can stay with me" he offered with a smile.

"No, no, I don't want to intrude on your family" I said pleadingly.

John started laughing

"What's so funny?" I asked a little irritated

"Y-you think I'm staying with my family?" He asked still laughing.

I didn't respond.

"Well, I'm getting an apartment. I wouldn't stay with my dad if I was paid $96,000 to do so." John stated.

"Oh" was all I had to say

"So, you're staying with me" John asked

"I don't know" I replied

"That wasn't a question" John said

I chuckled a little and nodded.

When our food came we ate and talked about job ideas and stuff.

After we payed the bill, we left the restaurant, John took my hand and led me to the ice cream parlor.

We ordered our ice creams and walked around the city. We walked for awhile, I didn't know where we going but I think John did. Because he kept smiling to himself every once in a while.

We finally approached the beach, more specifically, my favorite beach. It was beautiful, the sun was just setting, creating a painting of orange and pink in the sky.

We walked along the shore line hand in hand when John turned to me and said

"I've been meaning to ask you something"

I nodded

He knelt down on one knee and pulled a small black box out of his pocket.

"Alexander, from the moment I laid eyes on you I was head over heels for you. I loved everything about you, your beautiful chocolate eyes, your hair that's always pulled up into a messy pony tail, your voice,your facial features, the way you write like you're running out of time, the fact that you're like 5'2 and are willing to beat the shit out of anyone of they do as little as disagree with you, just everything about you. Words can not describe how much you mean to me. You are my world, my reason for living, my everything. I wake up everyday and see the same beautiful face I fell in love with long ago and I'd like to keep it that way. So, my dearest Alexander, will you marry me?"

I was crying hysterically I was so happy, it was finally happening the moment I've been waiting for.

"Yes!" I screamed and wrapped my arms around his neck.

I pulled back and kissed him on the lips.

We pulled away and he slid the beautiful ring on my finger.

He was the one, I have never loved someone more than I do with him. I had never even felt this way with someone before.

I didn't know where this would take us, but I knew one thing.

Life couldn't get better than this...

This is the longest chapter I've ever written and it's not even that long...

Sorry this chapter took so long I was going to update a few days ago but I didn't so I finished today...

Also there will be a big announcement/question authors note near the end of this book.

I hope you're enjoying this book!

Bye Lam Fam!!! ♡☆♡
