Y/n POV

"Dude, I'm doing it tonight." Y/n quickly flashed a small velvet box out of his pocket.

Elias- Good luck man. Not that you need it. Ela and I will watch the little one for you."

"Thanks man, you're a lifesaver."

Elias- No problem. Go get 'em tiger!"

"Well, I guess I'll tell you the results when I pick the baby up tonight."

I walked out of Elias' house and into the car, where I was met with a kiss by my, hopefully, soon to be fiancee.

This night has to be perfect.

Tonight was the second anniversary of our first date.

I was taking Monika to the an uber fancy park-side restaurant that had recently opened. After that, I would take her to the park. I knew that it was her favorite place in the world, and I knew exactly where to take her.

I would take Monika to the hidden pavilion and propose there. She had fallen in love with it ever since I took her there, and I often saw stroller tracks on the typically hidden dirt road, so I assumed she was walking the baby through there.

I had even spent the last 2 months working as many extra hours as I could in martial arts training to pay for her ring. I pretended to go out to the bar and had Elias cover for me.

We bought a house together right before Monika had the baby. We moved in right next to Ela and Zofia, which made me really happy, knowing I'd always be next to both of my sisters.

God, I wish I could know what was running through Monika's head.

Monika POV

I looked at Y/n's body, fit tightly but comfortably in the suit he had worn during the ball last year. His slim but muscular body contoured perfectly to his outfit.

I wonder why he had me dress up?  I mean, we dress up sometimes to go to fancy restaurants, but never suit and tie level classy. I love the green dress which I wear at every formal occasion, and I think Y/n had also taken a fancy to the dress. As he drove his truck, he kept looking at me nervously but tried to keep his eyes on the road and off of me.

What's up with Y/n? Normally he would have his eyes on me 90% of the time in an outfit like this. I think he has a thing for both dresses and hoodies. I swear that GSG 9 hoodie must have a 100% 'get laid' rate when I'm around him. We're just going out to eat, right?

Y/n POV

We finally pulled into the restaurant. I was trying to keep my eyes off of my ring wielding pocket, but it was very hard. I knew I wanted to live the rest of my life with this girl, but I could only hope she felt the same way.

I had reserved our table at this fancy restaurant well over a week ago. I actually hadn't told Monika we were going to a $100+ for two restaurant, but I wanted to surprise her. Just like I would later tonight.

As we were walking up to the door I was met with the soothing voice of my one and only- "Babe, I can't believe you're taking me here! I heard this place was amazing!"

I slightly grinned before giving her a little kiss with my rough lips- "Exactly why I took you here. Amazing place for an amazing girl."

Monika- You spoil me too much for your own good."

"You know it."

After I held open the door for m'lady, we were lead to a table by a young waitress. Honestly, I phased out everything at the restaurant other than Monika and the fact that she was happy enough to drink wine, which rarely ever happens. I was just too deep in thought to pay attention to anything but her. Hundreds of scenarios for later tonight ran through my mind. The stress was definitely getting to me, but there was no way I could let her know.
