By Chance

Chapter 25

"Jon these shoes were not made for walking..." I complain for the third time since we got out of the truck five minutes ago.

"We're almost there." he says leading me through the dark.

"How can you see where your going? Where are we going?"

"Just be patient babe." he says. " okay close your eyes now."

"Okay." I say inhaling a deep breath.

We walk a few more feet when I hear Jon say open.

I open my eyes and see lights strung everywhere, twinkling like the stars in the sky. A Soft violin is being played in the background and I notice a wooden gazebo. Decorated in all sorts of flowers , lights and candles.

"This is beautiful..." I say still gawking at the beauty of lights. "what is this for?"

Jon slips his arm around me and looks at the work he did, "can't I take my beautiful lady out for a romantic date for once?"

I laugh. Because in all the time Jon and I Have been together never once did he take me out on a date this fancy.

"Come.." he says taking my hand into his. We walk in the gazebo which felt noticeably warmer. "may I have this dance?"

"Absolutely." I smile.

We danced for what it seemed like forever. But whenever I'm with Jon it always seems like forever, but a good forever. Like something of me isn't missing. And Dancing in his arms I looked up and smiled thinking the chances of me meeting Jonathan Toews at work on one of my first days in Chicago, I would have never thought of. But it happened to be by chance he walked in to my Caribou.

"What are you thinking about."

I smile again, grinning at him.

"Just the chances of us meeting were so slim. And look at us now."

He chuckles a little getting that one dimple. "It wasn't chance though it was fate. Fate brought us together, fate was the one that made me take a detour home and stop and get coffee. Fate. Destiny."

"Fate" I whisper.

"Fate." Jon whispers back.

He lets go of me and kneels down.

"Oh my god..." I whisper.

"Mel, it was fate. Fate for me to find you and love you as much as I do. For being my other half, someone who gets and understands me. and my love for you is so much sometimes it hurts. But a good hurt. one the can't wait to come home just to lay in bed with you or watch you vacuum to blasting music. I love your beauty. not just the outer beauty but inside. You are the most caring person I have ever met. and brutally honest and blunt person ever. but I love that about you. you make me laugh when I'm mad and I can't think of anyone else I would want to be with for the rest of my life besides you. I want to be with you forever. So Melanie Daytona Adams will you be my forever. Will you marry me?"

At this point I have tears streaming down my face. Jon stands up and brushes my tears away and opens a black box, revealing the most beautiful ring ever.

"Jon... I want to be your forever. Forever."
