Ashley smiles and pulls me close to him, taking a deep breath as the slow music starts.

We dance together, me leaning against his chest a little.

"I love you so much, princess." He says softly, pulling me tighter to his chest. "You mean everything to me."

Smiling, I kiss him softly. "I feel exactly the same way about you."

A few moments later, the song finishes and I look around to see all of our friends watching us. Andy has his phone out and is filming us. I smile at them before looking back at Ash, who has let go of me with one hand.

"So, princess, there's something that I really want to ask you. I've been wanting to ask you for a while, actually." He says, sounding a little nervous.

I'm not used to him sounding nervous. It's so unusual for him. "What is it, sweetie?" I ask.

He takes a deep breath before pulling his hand out of his pocket. He's holding a ring between his fingers.

"So, I know that we're really young, and I didn't know if you would be completely ready to commit yet, and honestly I'm not sure if I am yet, but I am sure I want to spend the rest of my life with you. So, I got you this. It's a promise ring." He says softly, looking down at me.

"So, will you accept it? I promise you that I will love you forever, and I swear that I will propose to you properly some day."

I smile, biting my lip as I look up at him, starting to cry a little bit because I'm so happy.

I nod, looking up at him. "Of course, baby. I love you so much." I smile.

He smiles and relaxes a little, releasing a breath that I don't think he even realised he was holding. He takes my hand, lifting it up and sliding the ring onto my finger.

It's a pretty simple ring, but beautiful. The band itself is silver and there's a beautiful heart shaped jewel in the middle, the word 'Always' engraved on the inside, pressing against my finger.

"Now, come on, princess. Let's enjoy the rest of our night with our friends." He smiles and scoops me up in his arms, making me laugh and wrap my arms around his neck.

He carries me back over to our friends, keeping me in his arms for now.

"Oh my goodness, Y/N, let me see the ring!" Inna says excitedly. I hold my hand out to her so she can see it, and Juliet looks as well. "It's so beautiful!"

"It is. Not as beautiful as my amazing boyfriend that gave it to me, of course." I smile and turn my head to kiss him.

He smiles, shaking his head. "It was difficult to find a ring as beautiful as you. I didn't manage to, but I found one that is beautiful enough to be worthy of being on your finger, at least."

We spend the rest of the night having fun with our friends and dancing, laughing, drinking.

"Come on, let's get going. My parents are out tonight. They wanted to give us some privacy." He smirks a little and kisses the side of my head, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and leading me back out to the car.

He opens the door for me, closing it after I get in. Once he's in the car too, he leans over and kisses my neck.

"I can't wait to spend the night with you."
