Clare Edwards, 22 year old college graduate, lives in a condo with her boyfriend of 7 years, Eli Goldsworthy. They were each other's rock, he was there for her when she found out her parents were getting divorce, when her mom got remarried and even when her father died. Clare was there for him when it was Julia's death anniversary, when he was getting bullied and even helped him de-clutter his room (due to his hoarding problem, which he no longer has).He always wore gray or black, the only color you'd see him wearing was red-which he only wore on special occasions or when Clare forced him to- Clare on the other hand only wore colors. They are complete opposites but they complete each other.

I was currently sitting in the dot with Adam. We had just left the jewelry store where I had just bought Clare the perfect engagement ring. It was a simple silver band with a sky blue diamond in the shape of a heart. It was VERY expensive but Clare, she's worth it.

"So how are you gonna' propose?" asked Adam as he stuffed his face a some fries.

"well I'm gunna ask her out to dinner and well then I'm going to surprised her by taking her to the abandon church and propose there….and uh dude cover your mouth I don't need to see you chewed up fries" i say laughing

"Awww who knew you were so romantic" Adam joked

"uhuh yea and your girlfriend is where?"

"whatever man I fly solo"

"yea that's why you're single" I say sarcastically. Adam just glares at me. I checked my phone and realize it's almost time to go pick up Clare. "Alright dude I gotta go I'll call you tomorrow" with that I get up and head out to my car. I drive a black BMW since Morty broke down on me the other day. I send Clare a text telling her I'll pick her up in 5 minutes and that I love her. =)

I had just finished getting ready when I received a message from Eli telling me that he'd pick mi up in 5. He told me we were going somewhere special tonight! I was so exciting 'cuase I love spending time with Eli.

I heard keys jingling at the front door. Eli came in and smile when he saw me. He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist while I rapped my arms around his neck.

"You look beautiful. As always" he said smirking. Damn smirk! It was so cute and irritating at the same time.

"thanks. So do you want to tell your 'beautiful' girlfriend where we're going?" I asked hopeful

"Yea sure once I find her" he said leaning his forehead against mine. Of course he was smirking. I smacking him in the arm to which he let out a sarcastic "OUCH blue eyes that hurt" I smiled, I loved it when he called me blue eyes.

"We've been dating for years I would of thought that by now you understood that when I say surprise I mean SURPRISE not 'imma call it a surprise but tell u anyway' come on." Smirk.

"fine" I pouted. He leaned down and captured my lips with his. Our lips moving in sync. I smiled causing our kiss to break. He walked to the door and opened it. "Milady".

We parked Eli's car a block down from the restaurant. We walked out and walked towards the restaurant hand in hand, smiling like idiots.

-AFTER DINNER ELI'S POV-

We walked out of the restaurant satisfied. When we reached where I had parked the car it wasn't there. I started to freak out. SOMEONE STOLE MY CAR! I was pacing back and forth nervously while running a hand thru my hair. This ruins everything! That's when I remembered! THE DAMN ENGAMENT RING WAS IN THE CAR!

"Eli calm down it's just a car. It has incurrence, and besides it wasn't the prettiest car" Clare said trying to calm me down.

"ITS NOT ABOUT THE CAR CLARE!" I say louder then intended. "Then what's wrong?" She asked worried. I stop pacing and look at her and sigh. I walk over to her so we are face to say "Your engagement ring was in the damn car" I mumble shyly while looking down. Clare had SHOCKED writen all over her face. "you were gunna' propose?" she asked. I looked up at her and smiled. She brought her hands up to cup my face and kissed me deeply. I was shocked at first but then kissed her back. When we pulled away we stayed in our position, my hands on her hips and her hand cupping my face. "We'll uhh this is uh not how I planned it to go but uh will you.. you know marry me?" I asked slyly. "I would love to marry you" she said. I smiled and pulled her in for a long passionate kiss.

When we pulled away she mumbled "Uhm Eli not to ruin the moment but uhh wasn't your phone and house keys in the car too?"

"SHIT!"
