I love you. Loved.

Date Part 2

Silence. That's all there was, but the good silence. The type of silence that's calming. It's been a while since I've had good silence, and it feels good. I'm broken from my thoughts when I hear the radio playing. I turn to look at Mal and I'm met with her piercing blue-green eyes looking at me. She has a small smile as she watches me bop my head to the music. I realize that we have arrived at the restaurant when the car wasn't moving, but we still stare into each other's eyes.
"We are here dear" she whispers to me in a light purr. When we look away I realize we are basically at a mansion. The outside is a shiny gold aligned with white pillars. Before I could open my door she stops my hand. She quickly steps out of the drivers seat and opens my door for me.
"Such a gentle 'woman' " I tease as she grabs my hand gently and leads me to the entrance. As we walk up the steps, I'm just starting to realize that there is a long line that will most likely have us standing outside for an hour. I'm completely baffled when she leads me to the front of the line and then just walks inside. I stand there for about thirty seconds until two tall buff men grab one of my arms gently and leads me inside the huge building. They lead me to a small chair that is covered in jewels and red velvet. Once I get the hint that I have to sit down a tall lengthy man comes up to me and places a small tiara covered in diamonds on my head gently. They all walk away and the lights go out. I feel the chair being picked up from under me so I go to stand up but a hand holds me down. As I'm being carried I can't see anything other than black. Small lights start to come into view, they look like fairy lights. And trees? My eyes must be deceiving me because we have not left the restaurant. Everything goes black once I feel a cloth covering my eyes. After a few seconds I hear "Once Upon A Dream" playing in the background quietly as I feel the chair being lowered. Once I'm set down I start to wonder what's going on because the cloth has yet to be removed from my face. I feel someone's hands intertwine in mine and I can't help but smile. I can tell it's Mal because I can feel her dragon ring on her middle finger. I feel the light cloth that smelled like roses come off my face and before I could open my eyes hands cover them. I can't help but chuckle at how well Mal is trying to stay quiet and keep me from seeing anything. Once she takes her hands off my eyes I'm shocked with the sight before me. *see pic above pleaseeeeee*
"I hope you like it" is whispered into my ear as I take in the sight before me. I slowly turn to look my date as I see she has a small ring with a little diamond in it.
"This is a promise ring, don't worry I'm not proposing...yet. But I was wondering if you would like to be my girlfriend. I promise I will stand by you, be at your side when I hear you call and protect you from all of your fears. So...what do you say." I quickly smash my lips onto Mal's as we have a passionate kiss, once I believe she got my answer I slowly pull away as she slides the ring onto my finger.
"Our dinner awaits Regina"
For a second I think if Emma is okay but I quickly let it go. It's time for me to have fun, even if it's without her.
