*******DREW'S POV*******

I lead her over to the statue and gave the man in the front our tickets. I had planned to take her to the top of the statue of liberty and have dinner. I had to pull a few strings to get in but my uncle works here and he had the top reserved for us. I don't know how many times I thanked him. I had set up a picnic blanket and had a basket full of food for us. Also, I had put a bunch of lights around the blanket so it was just the light from the gigantic window and the lights.

I walked her over to the stairs and stood behind her

"Babe, there are some stairs here you need to walk up, is that ok?"

"Um, ok, I trust you, don't let me fall"

I smiled. "Ok, here we go

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Twenty minutes and a hell of a lot of stairs later, we were at the top.

"Amy, were at the top"

"Oh, thank god, my feet are killing me" she sat on the floor and took off her shoes.

She was wearing tall baby blue heels to match her dress, no wonder her feet hurt after climbing all of those stairs.

I sat down next to her and started to rub her feet

"Oh, that feels so good" she moaned

I laughed. "You can take the blindfold off now"

"Really? Oh, what a relief" she said untying the blindfold

The blindfold fell off her eyes and she gasped

*******AMY'S POV*******

The blindfold fell off my eyes and I gasped. Everywhere there were twinkly lights and in the front of the gigantic window was a picnic blanket and a huge basket. I gasped again and looked at Drew in awe. He smiled and stood up offering me his hand.

"Care to join me?"

A tear fell down my cheek and I grabbed his hand. He stood me up; I ignored the pain in my feet and walked over to the blanket. He sat me down and went to the other side to sit down.

"It's a beautiful view" I said looking out the window over New York

"I know. The statue of liberty has quite a view. It's the second most beautiful thing I've ever seen"

"Really, were at the top of the statue of liberty?" wasn't that the same thing he said to me when he took me to see the sunrise five years ago? "It's funny; I'm having a sense of déjà vu"

"You remember that night I took you to watch the sunrise?" he asked looking away from the view and to me

I nodded

"You're not going to pass out this time are you?" he asked smiling

"Nope"

"Good" he said and kissed me.

I scooted closer to him and crawled in his lap.

The simple kiss turned more passionate and I knocked him down on the blanket. He rolled so I was under him and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He kissed down my neck and I wiggled under him. I pulled his head back to mine and he traced his tongue along my bottom lip. I gladly opened for him and rolled us over so I was on top. He started to slowly lift up my dress and I froze, we were at the top of the statue of liberty, why was I doing this?

He pulled away. "Amy, are you ok?" he asked getting off of me

"Yeah, I'm uh... hungry"

"Well, there is certainly plenty of food, I made egg salad, and I know it's your favorite"

I laughed; he really was the sweetest man ever.

I know it's not some fancy dinner but we haven't really spent any quality time together in a while so I just thought we could have an old fashioned picnic"

"Ohh" I squealed and hugged him. "This is wonderful, I love it and I love you"

"I love you too, so much and I'm glad you like it" he said when I let go of him

I smiled and took a bite of the sandwich in his hand. It was really good. "Drew, this is really good" I said with my mouth full; I didn't care though, I was with Drew

He laughed. "Thanks. Oh and I brought grapes" he said reaching into the basket.

"Really, you brought grapes, there my favorite!"

He laughed again and pulled out the big bag full of green grapes. "I know" He even remembered that I liked the green ones. "Open up" he said holding the grape out to my mouth. I opened and he put the grape in my mouth

"Your turn" I said reaching into the bag and pulling out a handful. He opened his mouth and I threw it in.

"Score!" he said when he caught it in his mouth

I laughed.

**********DREW'S POV***********

We were done eating and lying on our backs talking

"So, what do you want to do now that you're out of college?" I asked turning to look at her

"Well, I applied for a job at Lagadeoes" (pronounced la-god-de-o's) she said turning to face me

"Really, Lagadeoes, that's the biggest music company in the world!"

She bit her lip. "Yeah"

"I know you'll get the job Amy, you're amazing!"

"Thanks Drew" she said and blushed. I loved it when she blushed but I decided not to say anything about it right now, it was finally time

**********AMY'S POV**********

I blushed but surprisingly he didn't say anything, he sighed instead.

"You know, that dinner was really good" I said smiling. He had brought egg salad sandwiches, grapes, peanut butter cookies, and Izzy's, all my favorites.

"You know, there's desert too" he said and sat up

I sat up too. "Really? What is it?"

"Um, I have to get it" he said and stood up.

He offered me his hand, I took it and he stood me up

"Amy..." he started to say

"Yes?"

He got down on one knee and grabbed my hands.

My heart nearly went into shock at that moment, was he...?

"Amy, from the moment I first saw you sixteen years ago, I knew there was something special about you.  Every time I look into your eyes I see the beautiful girl I fell in love with. Every time I'm with you, you make me feel like I'm the most important man in the world.

At this point I was crying.

"I love you so much, more than everything humanly possible and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

I started bawling happy tears, after all these years, this moment was finally happening

He let go of one of my hands and pulled a ring put of his pocket.

"AmyLynn Carter, will you marry me?"
