We drive down-town Chicago and park at a resturaunt called Belvar's Steak house. It seemed pretty fancy. So far anyway.

He walked me in, asked for a table for two, and led me toward a section of the resturaunt. Away from everyone else. It was perfect, if you know what I mean.

"This was my favorite resuraunt in Chicago." He says sitting down across from me.

"It isn't anymore?" I ask.

"Nope. There's a better one near here. I wanted to bring you here though." The doors slam open and a group of girls sprint in, screaming.

"O-M-G!! HOODIE ALLEN!!!" They scream. Classic fans. I giggle and he sighs.

"Hello girls." He says and takes the papers they're holding out and signs them. They yell excitedly as he hands them to them. After they run away screaming, we continue our conversation.

"That's alot of the time. You haven't seen anything yet." He says looking back at the door. The door open agains and a waiter walks in. Thank god. Only a waiter.

She asks what we would like to order. Steven orders a steak and I just get a pepsi. Once she's gone, he asks why I didn't get anything to eat.

"My stomach isn't feeling that great so..." I say, sipping on my water. He smiled at me and took a drink of his water.

He was so adorable, sitting there enjoying his water and life. He was perfect. An angle from heaven.

"I tend to find you starng at me alot." He says laughing. Well, why wouldn't I?

"The concert tonight is going to be the best one I've ever had." He says stirring his water with a straw.

"How do you know?" I ask. He looks me in the eyes and looks away.

"I just know." Wait. How could you just know something like that. Youy can't. Something could go wrong. The building could catch on fire or there could be an assasin, which probably wouldn't happen, but how could you be so sure.

I just go with it and shove those thoughts out of my head. He was just a confident man. My confident man.

"So," he says,"how about tonight, after the concert, we do something really fun?" 

"Like a club?"

"Well, it doesn't have to be, but if you want..."

"NO! I'd rather stay away from them. Thankyou," I say, trying to ignore the scary thoughts of going to one of those places.

Well, maybe... depends on what we were doing. If we were there to have sex, that's a different story. But, if we were there to make friends and have fun, sure.

"You amaze me." He says, watching me closely.

"What do you mean?"

"You just care about yourself and don't make stupid mistakes." I blush. How couldn't I? He was telling me I was smart. The waiter comes in and hands him his steak. He thanks her and then shoved it away after she left.

"Aren't you going to eat?" I ask.

"I just noticed, I'm a little to nervous to eat." I take another sip of my pepsi. How could he be nervous if he just told me he knew tonight was going to go well.

"You can't be to nervous." I say, smiling. He looks up from his steak.

"It's not going to be easy." So, we just get a carry out and leave. When we get in the car, I notice that he's sweating. The time is 7:00 in the evening. We were in there longer than I thought.

When we pull out, I see him biting his lip.

"Hey, you'll do great. I know you will." He sighs.

"I hope so..." The rest of the ride back to the theater is quiet. You can tell he's upset and worried. About what? I don't know. We get in the car and go inside. He starts to walk away from the stage, when we get in there.

"Where are you going?" I ask. He ignores me and walks away with an angry tone.

"STEVEN!" I yell after him. What was the sudden change of mood for? He disappears out of sight. I stop, mouth gaping open. We had just come from being in a happy restaurant to being a suckish theater.

"What the hell is wrong with him?!" I yell, even though there's no one there.

I didn't understand him. He confuses me, but I guess that's what's supposed to happen when you're in love. Maybe... I decide to go follow him. I have to. I walk down the hallway he went down and followed it until I came to a bathroom. Taking chances, I open the door and find him with a suit and tie on.

"What are you doing?! That's not your concert outfit!" He looks at me surprised, wiping tears away from his eyes.

'Oh god, Steven. What's going on?" He slams his hand down on the sink and looks me in the eye.

"I can't stand it!" He screams. Carefully, I walk toward him and grab his hands. Putting them around me, I look into his eyes.

"Steven. What's going on?" He looks away.

"Maddy, did I get you pregnant?" I gasp and think about the past year. Last night. Stumbling away from him, I scream. I couldn't be... I don't remember.

"OH..." I yell. I do remember. The female reproduction center. Oh how could I be stupid. Tears filling my eyes, I run back toward him and jump.

He catches me. I put my legs around him and press my lips to his. What was I doing? That's when I taste the alcohol on his lips.

"Have you been drinking?" I gasp.

"Yes...."

"You bastard..." He pulls me back in and starts kissing me again. His lips working with mine.He stumbles backward feeling the burst of excitement that I am feeling  and trips. I land on top of him and we kiss again.

"We don't have to stop..." I gasp between our kiss.

"I don't want to..." I hear the zipper on his pants.

"I love you...."

 

9:30 pm

 

We walk out of the bathroom prepared and ready for the concert. I won't tell you what happened. All I can say is it was amazing....

"Thank god that was my private bathroom." He says. I laugh. Really? You think?

He gives me a real short kiss and lets my hand go.

"Well, I guess it's show time..."

12:30 pm

"She in the city, but she from a small town...." His voice is echoing around the theater along with the screaming fans. I was in the front row, exhausted from screaming and cheering.

He was so cute up there singing and dancing. Some girls next to me are screaming,You can tell they want him to be there’s but they’re not going to get him.

"Chicago! I have one last thing to do before you all leave!" Everyone starts screaming and I look around confused. But, the concert was over...

"I would like my beautiful girlfriend, Maddie, to come up here." I smile shyly. What is going on....

He holds his hand out to me and he helps me up. We walk to the middle of the stage and then the lights go off.

"Steven what is going on?" I ask. I was afraid for myself. Then a light comes on and is aiming only on us.

He's down on one knee.

"Maddie Ann Ellen, will you marry me?"
