Can I have this dance?

After Aaron picked me up he would not tell me where we were going, nor what the plans were for the evening. The entire drive to wherever we were going he had on a huge smile and one hand on my hand.

When we finally got to where we going I was told to close my eyes. I said I would, but apparently my word was not good enough because he decided he had to blind fold me until we made it inside. Once he had the blind fold on me, he proceeded to kiss from my earlobe down my neck. I had never been blindfolded before, and I have to say that it intensified the sensations I was feeling.

I heard him laugh a deep throaty laugh, and then I heard the car door open and close. Soon he was on my side holding the door open and guiding me out of the car. I was so excited I could barely stand it. I swear I was even trembling a little every time I felt his touch. Once we were inside, he walked behind me and took the blind fold off. We were at one of my favorite restaurants. It's a pasta bar with an extremely romantic atmosphere. Candles everywhere. This time there was something different about it. It was empty. We were the only patrons at the restaurant. This was odd because this place is usually extremely busy.

He must have noticed the confused look on my face, because he felt the need to explain to me why it was we were alone.

"I kinda had the place closed for tonight," he said running a hand through his hair. You see, him and his family are very, very, very well off. So, yes as odd as it sounds he can afford to do something like that.

"Oh Aaron," I said and leaned in for a kiss.

Our kiss was interrupted by a waiter coming up to us to show us to our table. The table was beautiful. Candles everywhere. The only lights in the restaurant seemed to be coming from candles. We were seated and a bottle of white wine was brought over.

We had dinner and finished our wine. After dinner, we were sitting there enjoying another bottle of wine when Aaron stood up and came around the table to me.

He reached out his hand to me and said, "Can I have this dance?"

"Dance?", I asked. "But there's no music playing." As I was saying that a song started playing over the loudspeaker. It was our song. "Can't help falling in love", the version sung by Michael Bubble.

"I would love to dance," I said and let him lead me towards the center of the restaurant.

As we were dancing he began to talk. "A., I thank God everyday that I went to London. I thank God everyday that he allowed me to meet you. But most of all, I thank God for allowing you stay in my life."

"Aaron," was all I could manage. At this point I was all ears. I knew something big was going to happen. Why else would he do all this?

"I am so grateful to have you in my life. I want to go to sleep with you in my arms, and wake up to see your beautiful face. I want to grow old and experience life with you. I want to have children with you and watch them grow with you."

At this point I was crying. The tears were flowing and I could not make out any words. He stopped dancing, pulled apart from me, and got down on one knee. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a blue velvet box. He opened it, held it out to me, and said, "A. would you spend the rest of forever with me?"

I was speechless. He was all I have ever wanted in a man. He was my Mr. Right. The last year and three months had been beyond amazing. And the thought of waking up in his arms every morning brought a smile to my face. I finally got out of my own head, to finally respond.

"Yes, yes...a million times yes," I said. And then I started to laugh. I had just quoted a movie. Leave it to me to quote a movie at a time like this. Thank God he didn't notice.

He took the ring out and slipped on my finger, I went down on my knees and hugged him. In between sobs I managed to kiss him and tell him how much I loved him.

"Aaron, I love you so much! I can't wait to start the rest of my life with you."

We eventually made it out of the restaurant, but not before finishing our dance. When we were back in the car I kept staring at the ring on my hand, he reached for my hand held up to kiss it and said, "I have another surprise for you."

"I don't know what could make this night any better?", I said.
