A Night To Remember

Taz! C’mon!” I stood over my girlfriend as she lay in our bed, shaking her a little.

“No… Too early, (Y/N)” Taz smacked my hand lightly before bringing the blanket up above her face.

“It’s eight o’clock, Taz!” I groaned out.
“Exactly! Too early!” The covers rustled around on the bed.

There was no reasoning with Taz before twelve. Ten on a good day. She may have spent a lot of her life as a Starship Ranger and had to wake up at six every day, but when she was on break in between missions, she lived by her own rules. And that meant her own clock too.

I huffed, but, nonetheless, headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Standing in front of the mirror, I quickly went through my daily routine, hair, teeth, the works.

Standing in front of the wardrobe, I kept looking through my clothes, trying to find a nice outfit. Before I was about to choose a cute combination of shorts and my girlfriend’s hoodie, Taz piped up from the bathroom, which I hadn’t seen her step into.

“Wear something in between casual and fancy. I’m taking you out on the town today, Cariño,”

“Really now? Sounds fun!” I called behind me. I felt a pair of hands wrap themselves around my waist as Taz leaned on me from behind. She left a small kiss on my neck before pointing at a cute, not quite casual and not quite fancy black dress, “That one right there,”

“Black dress it is then! Thank you, babe.” I grabbed the dress and turned around to kiss her on the cheek.

“Anytime, mi corazón,”

Taz Ended up wearing a white button up with a dark navy-blue blazer, keeping the top button of the white shirt and the blazer itself unbuttoned. Suits looked good on her.

We ended up spending most of the day at a local fair. Taz won multiple stuffed animals for me. Her aim and strength from her years as a Starship Ranger really helped her out with a lot of the games, despite the fact that most of them were rigged.

As we tried to stuff the car with all the prizes my beautiful girlfriend had won for me, said beautiful girlfriend spoke up.

“What next mi amor? Movie or dinner?” She tossed the last prize, a small blue rabbit stuffed animal, in the back of the car.

“Hm. I’m thinking we go to dinner, go home, get out of these clothes, and watch a movie? Thoughts?”

“Love it. Alright I know the perfecto restaurant.”

---

“Did you like everything?” Taz asked me anxiously across the table.

“Of course! You know I love spending the day with you. Going out and having fun and all!”

“Good. Great.” She smiled at me before taking a bite of the steak she ordered. The fancy restaurant we were seated in wasn’t really her style. And neither was the fancy steak that sat in front of her. Sure, she loved meat, but it was never garnished with a small leaf or decorated with some sort of fancy sauce or anything like that. It was a little funny watching her try to adapt to the environment that radiated from the restaurant. But, as I noticed her start to shift around more and more, I realized it may not have been the environment making her uncomfortable.

“Babe, Taz, are you ok?” I asked her worriedly.

“Yeah! I’m fine! Don’t worry about a thing.” She smiled, grabbing my hand and rubbing her thumb across it a few times. I let my shoulders relax and breathed out before smiling.

Taz seemed to eagerly eat through almost all of her meal before I interrupted her, “You got somewhere to be?”

“Que?” She set her fork down.

“Slow down, baby, you’ll choke on something.” I laughed quietly.

“Oh,” She replied, grinning sheepishly, “Sorry I didn’t realize…”

“Hey. You look like you’ve got something on your mind. Has something been bothering you?” I spoke, taking another bite of my meal.

“No. No! Its fine! I promise. I was just thinking about something. That’s all.”

“Ok…” I didn’t really believe her, but I always made it a point to trust Taz. I loved her after all. Pushing the thought to the back of my mind, I continued with my meal. We made small talk but, otherwise, it was peacefully quiet. I finally, a minute or two after Taz, I finished my meal.

“(Y/N).” Taz grabbed my hand across the table, anxiously.

“Yes?”

“We’ve been dating for a little more than two years and every second has been pure heaven to me,” She continued.

“Taz?” I smiled at her, cocking an eyebrow.

Taz stood up from her seat and knelt down in front of me, “Each time we are together, I find myself counting my blessings. Questioning what in the world could’ve made me so lucky to have met you.”

“Taz, oh my dead god!” I brought my hands up to my face as Taz took out a small velvet box.

“But, no matter what, you’ve been by my side for so long and I cannot thank you enough. (Y/N), mi amor, I love you so much,” She opened the small box to reveal a stunning silver ring with a beautiful jewel in the middle.

“Will you marry me?” She smiled at me, tears brimming in her eyes. Taz wasn’t one to cry, but by god was this a good time to do so.

“Of course! Of course!” I helped her up, enveloping my new fiancé in a tear-filled hug, breaking away to plank a kiss on her lips every few seconds. Everything melted away as I gripped on to her, crying. The love of my life, the most beautiful person I knew, the one who had my heart had promised to spend her life with me. Dead God, I loved her so much. I was waiting for this day to come. I could tell that moment would be engrained in my memory for the rest of my life.

Coming back to reality, I noticed the people around us applauding. I looked around sheepishly before Taz gathered our things to leave. She wouldn’t stop happily muttering to herself in Spanish. Knowing her for so long, though, I learned to pick up a few things and could make out a lot of ‘thank dead god’ and ‘I love you so much’.

As we made our way out of the restaurant, many people were congratulating us and wishing us happy lives. The moment got to me again, as I continued to cry. It was a beautiful night, really. Something I’d never forget.

Not my best work but I hope you like it nonetheless. This was requested by @depressobean so hopefully it turned out ok!

Also!
I'll probably be off Wattpad for about 2 weeks (working on something HUGE for a friends birthday) but expect more when I get back!!

Have a beautiful day, lovelies!! <3 :)))
