Chapter 13:

”Go upstairs.” Daniel said to me. “Uh why?” i asked with a confused. “Well i have plans for us tonght.” “Oh, what are we going to do?” i asked. He shrugged. “Gonna have to find out. I cant tell you its a suprise.” He said. “Well i need to know where we are going to go so i know what to wear.” He looked at me. He didnt say anthing. “Fine.” I sighed and went upstairs, i put on some sweats and a hoodie, it was starting to get cold out. I walked downstairs. Daneil handed me a blindfold. He mustve seen my confused look becuase he turned me around and out it on. “Uh Daniel why do i have to wear this?” i asked smiling. “I dont want you to see where we are going.” “Ok come on.” He took my hand and then his keys and led us to the car. He opened to door for me, i had to bend down just so i was extra sure not to hit my head on the car. And i guess i wasnt careful enought becuase i hit my head pretty hard. “Oh, are you ok?” Daniel asked? I could hear the laughter in his voice. I rubbed my head. “Im fine thanks.” I replied. He blasted some music and started driving. About 20 minutes later the car pulled to a stop. He shut the car off and we both unbuckled. I felt the door open, so i came out, and again i hit my head. “Ow!” i heard Daniel laugh. “Daniel shut up.” he pulled the blindfold off of me and that when i saw it. The resaurant we went to, just the two of us, when we were 15. i remember it was me, Daniel, and of course his brothers. It was fun. His brothers kept spitting spit balls into drinks of the people next to us, and they didnt notice. But apparently the other people on the other side of us did. we got in trouble, we used to alwys come here everytime his brothers were in a bad mood, we used to always take them here to cheer them up.

The restaurant was called ‘Per Sempre’ I know obsessed with Italian food, and weird name for a restaurant, but the food was good.

“So,” Daniel was nervous. He is so cute when he is nervous. “Let’s go.” I said, while holding his hand. He smiled. We walked in and got seated. We started talking about random things. It was kind of akward, its been a year since the whole thing with Randy. I still had dreams that he was back to get me, that he took me and he was about to kill me when i wake up. I would wake up sweat pouring down my face, and tears coming from my eyes. I hate dreams like that. Daniel would always come lay with me and tell me everything is ok and hes there until i fell back asleep. When i would wake up he would already be awake, greeting me in the morning.

“What would you like to drink?” The guy asked us. “Pepsi for me and,” he looked at me and i nodded, “and Dr. Pepper for her.” The guy nodded and exited. After the guy returned with our drinks he asked us if we were ready to order i nodded yes. I ordered soup and salad, and Daniel ordered pasta and breadsticks. We ate. It was so good. It was silent until waitresses came and started singing some song i didnt know. I looked at Daniel, he was looking at me, smiling. I was confused. Until he got on one knee. And reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box. He opened it, it was a beautiful ring, it was a blue diamond with tiny other diamonds on it, it seemed to shine from the lights, he looked into my eyes. I could tell he was nervous again. “Uh, Zoe, i have known you forever, and ever since i met you i tought you were the cutest thing, even though you used to steal my juice boxes when we were 6.-“ that made me laugh. “Zoe, i cant even imagine my life without you. Will you marry me?” i started at him. I felt tears coming. He had this un-readable expresssion on his face, probably i was takin too long to answer him. “Of course i will!” i said to him. He smiled, grabbed my hand and placed the ring on my finger. I examined it before i jumped to him. He grabbed me and he kissed me, a long kiss, his lips felt so good against mine, they were not too gentle or too hard, it felt so right, to be in his arms, to kiss him. We pulled back after what felt like forever, but i wanted to stay like that forever, but i know i couldnt. “I love you.” He whispered.  I smiled and pulled him closer to me, “I love you too.” I didnt pay attention to any of the waitresses or people in the restaurant, but then i heard them cheering me and Daniel laughed and kissed one more time before we left. On the way home i kept looking at the ring on my finger, i would pinch myself in the leg a few times just to make sure i wasnt dreaming. I couldnt believe i was getting married! I wondered if Brian and Daniels brothers knew.
