      Dia woke up the next morning and blushed a bit as Ace was holding her close. She stayed close to him as she smiled. This is was really nice.. Ace woke up and smiled as kissed her head softly.
     "Did I wake you?" She asked and he shook his head.
     "No. You're fine. I'm glad I woke up with you in my arms."
     "Me too.. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.."
     "Dia.." He smiled when she said that.
     "It's true. I love you a lot Ace. I want to be with you in every way possible."
     "Even as far as to marry me?" He looked down at her.
     "If that is what you want, then yes."
     "It is. I was so scared when I heard you got shot.. I thought I would lose you.. Lose my chance to ask you.."
     "Ace.." She places a hand on his cheek. "I'm sorry.. It was so sudden.. But know that I would never leave you.." He smiled and held her hand.
     "Neither will I.. I love you so much Dia.."
     "And I love you too Ace.." She smiled before he leaned in and placed his lips on hers. It was a passionate kiss that was a promise to a future for the two of them.
