I Love You Ms. J!

Chapter 29: The Proposal

——Three Years After-

Deanne never really had a penchant for planning ahead. This quality had only gotten stronger after she begun dating Jessica, seeing as she rarely did anything without planning for it first.

However, once in a while she would make exceptions on special nights when she wanted to surprise her- their anniversary last year, for example. As it turned out, their evenings always went a lot better when she didn't plan ahead, ironic as that sounded.

Tonight was certainly one she wanted to get perfect, so she had determinedly planned for it together with Aiko (their best friend) throughout the previous weeks. Before now, the night had gone perfectly, not a flaw in sight.

Jessica and Deanna were walking up the path to her front porch. Their arms were around each other's waste and her head was resting on her shoulder.

After a romantic dinner at a local restaurant to celebrate both Jessica's twenty-third birthday and their three year anniversary of their first date, they had gone for a walk in the cool April evening. As they reached the porch Jessica noticed an envelope with her name written on it lying on the 'WELCOME' mat. She opened it and inside was a string that ran under the front door. Taped to the string was a note that said "Follow me". She looked at Deanna with a confused look.

"Maybe you should do what it says?" she suggested, trying to look confused but there was a knowing look in her eyes that Jessica didn't miss.

Biting back a comment, Jessica opened the door and followed the string. It lead to the stairs. On the stairs there was another note. This one read "Climb me". Deanna bowed with her arm out in a gallant, "after you" type gesture. She turned up the stairs with Deanna close behind.

Her room was right at the top of the stairs and on the door was a third note that said "Open me". She complied, her curiosity beginning to get the better of her.

Inside there was a red carpet. The carpet ran from the door to her night stand. On it was the now expected note. This one read "Walk me". On the top drawer of her night stand was a fifth note that read "Pull me". Inside the drawer was a black velvet box. On the lid was another note that read "Take me".

Jessica opened the box, but it was empty. Confused, she turned around and her breath caught as she saw Deanna kneeling down behind her on one knee, a diamond ring held before her. "Marry me?" Was all she said.

With eyes bright from unshed tears Jessica said one simple "yes". Shee took the ring and put it on her left ring finger. Gently taking her left hand in both of her, she placed a kiss on the ring.

Jessica tightened her hand and drew her up to a standing position. When they were eye to eye she put her arms around her neck and pulled her into a long sweet kiss. When they broke apart Jessica was the first to speak.

"How did you do all this?"

"I owe it to our dear best friend (referring to Aiko)." She said before pulling her back to just be pulled back for another kiss.

A/N: Maybe Aiko's life will be on the next chapter. :-) (let see)
So, any comment? Hahahah..
