Closer to Hope

Chapter 12

On the car ride to the place of mystery Chris was beginning to get noticably nervous. I side ways glanced at him and he was gripping the steering wheel tightly and his hands were a bit shakey, but he had a small smile on his lips. I looked at him quizically, and then shook my head when I knew asking him what his deal was would be a lost cause. I giggled softly to myself and looked down at my hands. Next thing I knew chris was poking my shoulder non stop.

"What?" I smiled at him.

"We are here!" He said to me with a big grin on his face. He then pointed to a park, it was dark outside and no one was there. I wondered why on earth I was getting all dressed up for a park. But before I could ask him I felt my door open and I looked to see Chris's hand outstretched to me.

"Lost in thought lovely?" Chris asked, and I rolled my eyes, I am seriously not lovely, no, I don't know what he was thinking with all these sweet words he was saying, I mean he must be blind. But hey, I kinda like it when he says those things. A perfect person like him saying I was perfect, but no he is the perfect one.

"Why are we at a park?" I asked.

"Well my dear Dasha, parks are wonderful and I think you will like what I have set up. Just take my hand and I will lead you to a place of wonders." He winked and smiled, I then took his hand. He then raised it to his lips and kissed it. He then pulled me out of the car and right into his arms for a hug. Chris then kissed my cheek and pulled me along to whatever he had set up.

Right before we got to the spot he put his hand over my eyes, and nudged me forward a ways. And when he moved his hand, I could not believe my eyes. How on earth he had time for what he did is amazing.

There right before us, was a path of rose petals and small candles, a walk way. He grabbed my hips from behind and pushed me onwards through the path and to another great surprise. It was absolutely wonderful, but completely and amazingly crazy at the same time. In front of us sat a giant blanket on the grass and a smallish tent behind the blanket. The blanket had two small boxes one on each side, and in the middle sat a bouquet of roses that were painted black and red.

I put my hands over my mouth and gasped, I then turned and hugged Chris as tight as I could.

"I knew you would like it." He smiled and hugged me back.

"No Chris, I love it!" I then kissed his cheek and pulled him to the blanket and sat down on one side.

"Anything for you beautiful." Chris said quietly almost inaudible. He laughed to himself and sat down on the other side. He leaned over and handed me both of the boxes. He pointed to the first one he handed me and told me to open it first.

I took the box and opened it slowly to find a folded note, I took the note and opened it and found it blank. I then looked up at Chris, he smiled and pointed to the second box to open it. I took it and again opened it slowly and there was another note which i took and opened.

LOOK UP

I did as I was told and looked up at Chris.

"I need to ask you something, it is of the greatest importance." He began.

"Okay?" I smiled.

"Dasha, you are of the upmost perfection, honestly the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. And it will be the greatest honor if you would like to mine for as long as you want me, and I promise I will always be there, through everything and anything, just please will you be mine?" Chris asked me. My breath caught in my throat and I couldnt for the life of me get my heart to slow down.

I smiled as big as I could and nodded my head. I mean, how could a person say something when they cant breathe? He got up and so did I and he went to me and hugged me tighter and with so much compassion that I couldnt help but gasp.

My life was suddenly perfect.
