"Where are you taking me Carter?" My boyfriend Carter came home today and just ripped me from the couch forcing me into the car with no information
"Wait till you see!" he replies with a giant grin. Carter has been acting weird all week, it can't be a surprise because it's not my birthday and valentines day isn't until next month.
"I knew something was up the other day when I asked where you were going and you yelled mind your business and ran out the door" he laughs deviously and continues to drive "I love you but you know I hate surprises right?"
"Yeah tell that to my arm you punched after I got you that cat" it meowed when I walked into our apartment and I panicked and punched Carter
"Can you tell me anything about where we're going?"
"No I cannot now put this on" he pulls something out of his pocket and throws it to me
I pick it up from my lap "a blindfold?" He nods "uh-huh no way! Last time I put a blind fold on for you I was handcuffed to the bed for 3 hours because you lost the key"
"This is different!" He starts to slow the car down "no handcuffs this time I promise" he turns to me grinning like an over joyed child in a candy store "now please put it on"
"Ok but if something goes wrong, you're cleaning the whole apartment for a month" he refuses to pick up a broom or a cloth for that matter
"Nothing will go wrong will you just believe in me please?" I obey and put the blind fold on.
He pulls away and after a few more minutes of driving he stops the car "this is where I die isn't it?" I can hear his car door opening, then a few seconds later my car door opens
"Take my hand"
"How am I suppose to do that Carter?" He's not the brightest, but I love my dummy
"Fine give me your hand" I reach my hand out and he takes it "ok slowly step out of the car." I follow his instructions and after being out of the car he shuts the door and locks it. "I'm going to lead the way ok"
"Alright" since he won't tell me anything I feel it's probably best if I just comply. "Okay one step at a time"
"I know how to walk Carter!"
"Don't sass me" we continue to slowly walk and after a few more steps "stop!" We stop and he lets go "stand right here and don't take your blindfold off until I say"
"Whatever you say" I stand there. A minute has past and not a word from him "hey are you still here?"
"Yes yes I'm here" few more seconds past "ok slowly take you blind fold off" I do as he says and I slowly take the blindfold off, opening my eyes I take in the sight in front of me, it's so breath taken.
It's near the lake where we like to run, I see his family and mine standing there and lights multiple twinkly lights all over the place. So many flowers, and I look down in front of me to a grinning Carter holding a small box while on one knee "oh... God" My heart stops beating,
tears form in my eyes instantly "this isn't happening, what are you doing?" I grab my chest because I feel like it's about to explode
"Sam Evans from the first day I met you when you hit me with your car and cursed me out because I wasn't in the right lane, to when we went to court and I had to pay you all my life's saving I knew you were the one for me. The passion you have for what you believe in is so inspiring and I can't tell you how amazing it makes me feel to be able to say you're mines now, and forever. I remember after the whole accident debacle you refused to see me saying I was a never ending nightmare. To the time I was called on a random night to come help this guy at a bar who's too drunk to function" tears are just streaming down my cheeks "I have loved you from the moment you threw up all over me and everything else that happened beyond that. I know I'm a lot to handle sometimes but you never gave up on me. I've wanted to marry you since our first month together that's how sure I was of us, of what we share. I may be intense sometimes but you balance me out, I don't think I'd be where I am today if it wasn't for you" my knees are going to give out at any second, my excessive crying is starting to make him tear up "I love you more than anything in this world Sam, I love you today, I'll love you tomorrow, and I'll love you when you realize you're too good for me. We've been through so much together and you've taught me so much, I can't wait keep learning with you, I want to make our little family whole" he sniffs trying to stop crying "I guess what I'm trying to say is Sam Peter Evans will you do me the honor or being my husband?"
With no hesitation "YES!" He stand up and I jump into his arms kissing him all over his beautiful face "I love you Carter and I want nothing more than to be your husband" our families jump in the back ground as I kiss my amazing boyfriends face
"HE SAID YES!" Carter turns to them and they come running towards us "Congratulations!!" They all yell giving us hugs
"My baby's gonna get married" my mom wipes tears from her eyes "that was beautiful Carter."

After a few hours of congratulations and showing off my amazing new ring Carter and I go back to our place, and I lay on his chest on the couch admiring my ring "I can't believe we're engaged!"
"Only felt right after 3 years"
"I seriously wasn't expecting this" I can't stop staring at my ring! "Do you love it?" He chuckles
I look up at him "I love you" sitting up from his chest I turn to him "I am seriously the luckiest man in
the world"
"Not as lucky as I am" we lean in and kiss each other. I know he's the same guy I've been kissing for the past 3 years but this kiss felt so different, felt like it was new like we were kissing for the first time.
"Come on" I stand up from the couch reaching my hand out to him
"Where are we going?" He asks taking my hand
I pull him "I'm going to show you how lucky you are."
