"What are you doing here?" I ask, feeling annoyed.
He smirks and says, "I know your secret."
"What secret?" I ask innocently.
"You're Killer Kat. I mean, a dead giveaway, Kathy." He says.
"Shit," I mutter, trying to escape this conversation.
"Wha...
I walk into my apartment and place my things on the counter. Anthony and I completed college a few months ago, and we decided to move in together. It was time to take our relationship to the next level, and we could finally sleep in the same bed every night.
I walk into the living room and see rose petals scattered on the floor. Awww! I follow the path, and it leads me to my bedroom. There's an outfit laid out with a note.
Put this on and then go downstairs. Ask for Greg at the front desk. ~Anthony, aka best boyfriend in the world :)
I smile and look at the outfit he picked out. Not bad. He loves it when I wear red. It's always fun when he picks out outfits for your dates!

I decide to take a quick shower and change into the outfit. I rush out the door in my heels and almost trip. Clumsy bitch. I take the elevator, and it opens into the lobby. I walk towards the front desk and ask for Greg.
A man in a suit walks up to me and asks, "Are you Kathy Miller?"
I nod, and then he says, "I'm Greg."
He leads me to a limo, and I give him a confused look. He opens the door for me, but I stop and quickly analyze him. He could be a kidnapper. I could take him. Kick his knee and give him a few punches.
He notices I'm not getting in and says, "I almost forgot to give this to you. Anthony wanted you to read it before you got in."
He hands me the piece of paper, and it's another note.
Sunshine, Greg will not kidnap you. And I don't creepily mean this but get your beautiful ass in the limo already. ~Anthony
I laugh and get in the limo. Not knowing where he's taking me, I ask, "So, do you usually just drive a limo around?"
He chuckles and says, "That is what I'm paid to do."
"Really? Have you driven any celebrities?" I ask.
"Of course." He says, turning into a restaurant's parking lot.
"Really? Who?" I ask, intrigued.
He ignores my question and parks in front of the entrance. Then he steps out of the vehicle. Before I can open my door, he opens my door and offers me his arm. "Ryan Reynolds, Anna Kendrick, Dave Franco, all the greats." He says.
"Those people are like my favorite actors! Thank you for driving me, and I hope you continue to meet celebrities." I say, walking up the steps to the restaurant's entrance.
When I get inside, I see another trail of roses. I follow the path and spot Anthony pacing the room nervously. What's wrong with him?
He looks up and smiles when he sees me. He pulls me in for a quick kiss and says, "You look stunning."
I grin and say, "And you look dashingly handsome."
He leads me to a table and calls for a server. A server comes from the kitchen with plates, and Anthony pulls my chair out for me. The server places a plate of spaghetti in front of me and Anthony with steak and fries.
Anthony asks me about work, and then I ask him about his day. While I steal a fry from his place, I ask, "Are we celebrating something? Did I forget an important date? I swear I know all of them."
"I'm hoping it'll be an important date." He answers with a cheeky smile.
He signals for the waiter, and a few seconds later, he returns with another plate. I look down and see it's a slice of red velvet cake. Hell ya! I glance at Anthony when he gets out of his seat and gasp when he gets down on one knee. Is this what I think it is? Holy shit!

"Sunshine, you are the light of my world. You make my life worth living and make me the happiest man alive. I would be lost without you. I know how we met wasn't the best. But I can't imagine a life without you by my side. Katherine Melissa Miller, will you marry me?" He asks.
I tackle him into a hug and shout, "Yes!" I cup his face and plant my lips against his.
He smiles against my lips and mumbles, "I love you."
I pull away and rest my forehead against his. "I love you so much more." I sob, letting a few tears slip.
He wipes them away with his thumb, and I close my eyes. "This feels like a dream," I whisper.
"If it is, I don't ever want to wake up," Anthony says, wrapping his arms around me. He grabs my left hand and slips on the ring. It's beautiful. I'm never taking it off.
While we eat the red velvet cake, I squeeze Anthony's hand with excitement. "I can't believe we're getting married," I murmur.
"I'm just thankful you said yes." He says, still a little jittery.
"How long have you been planning this?" I ask. "I'm usually good at sensing surprises, but this caught me off guard."
"I bought the ring a few months ago. I don't think you noticed, but I borrowed one of your rings for sizing, and I wanted to make sure you got a nice diamond." He says.
"Well, I love it. You know me so well." I say, moving forward to peck his cheek. You're finally getting your happy ending!
