"It's gonna happen tonight!"
"Heather, shut up, no." Even after college ended, Heather and I managed to stay best friends and now we live in an apartment together, still in Manhattan.
"I agree!" Michael yelled from the bathroom. Michael and Heather were completely, idiotically in love with each other, and they could barely keep their hands off each other. And that's probably why her baby is due in 5 months.
Heather kept throwing all types of lacy lingerie and little black dresses at me because Luke was taking me to Serendipity 3 for dinner, and she was convinced Luke was going to ask for my hand in marriage.
So yes, 5 years ago, after Luke and I met again he took me out to the theatre and we've been together ever since. Never in my life, had I been so happy as I am now.

"ELENA!! LUKE'S HERE!" Heather yelled down the hallway.
"ALRIGHT, COMING." I yelled back while putting my shoes on. I skipped down the hallway and into my boyfriends arms, as he picked me up and spun me around planting kisses all over my face.
"You look beautiful, princess." He said into my ear making me blush. We heard little 'awws' from Heather and Michael which slowly turned into bickering.
"MICHAEL WHY DO YOU NEVER DO THAT TO ME" Heather said to Michael. He looked really awkward and just scratched the back of his neck. Being pregnant can make you crazy.
"Okay, we're gonna get going…" Luke said after a long awkward silence hung in the air.
"Okay, be safe." Heather said winking and then pushing us out the door.
In the elevator down, Luke brought me into his embrace by pulling me by my waist and kissing me properly.
"You look so beautiful tonight, Elena. How am I supposed to control myself all dinner?" He smirked playing with the hem on my dress. I just blushed, not because I wasn't used to it by now, but Luke just gets me every time.

After eating our lovely little pasta dinner and teasing each other all night, the waiter came back placing a large sundae cup on out table.
"One, Golden Opulence Sundae for the madame." he said before rushing off.
"Um, I didn't order this." I said to Luke, all confused.
"I know, I did, in advance." he replied. He looked nervous, like he was about to throw up and he was rubbing his hands on his dark jeans to stop him from sweating. Oh my God, is he going to break up with me?
"Luke, you alright?" I asked nervously, afraid of his answer and my reaction.
"Oh fuck it," he mumbled to himself, he looked me straight in the eyes and said,
"Elena, ever since I met you that one night in Limelight 5 years ago, I knew I needed you. It was weird because I never felt that way before, but I knew what it was. I knew what my heart was trying to tell me," he continued talking as tears started forming in my eyes,"you are the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes on. You're sweet and funny, and always there to help me or Heather out. Frankly, I'd be lost without you. You set fires in my heart. I hope I set fires in yours, because I want to be there for you always. If you wake up at 4 a.m. from a bad dream and can't sleep, I'll make you hot chocolate and we'll watch Glee until you fall asleep on my chest. Or if your feet ever hurt from all the jumping, and singing and dancing you do all day, I'll massage them while you re read John Green books. I guess I'm trying to say I love you, I love you so fucking much and you know what? New York City is a funny place. Out of all the celebrities and druggies, the homeless and students, out of all the 8,405,837 people, I managed to find you," He got down on one knee before me and opened a little black box with a shiny diamond ring, "Elena, will you do me the favour in marrying me?" He bit down on his lip, poor boy, probably scared for his life. I was already crying my eyes out so when I managed to choke out a 'yes', he stood up giving me the biggest hug ever and pressing his lips straight onto mine, not caring about all my tears. He placed his forehead onto mine as he slid the ring on my finger.
"I love you so much." He said sniffling.
"I love you so much more."
