Written in the stars: Cercavo Amore

Chapter Nine

The next morning, I got up later than usual as me and Surge had stayed up late last night. My sleeping problem seemed to have disappeared but every now and then it would come back and keep me up late. I checked my phone to see if Surge had texted me. He had. It read: “Morning beautiful, I’ve ordered us a table at the restaurant opposite the park and told your boss that you won’t be in today, she was fine with it. I will come and pick you up at around twelve. Love you xxx”

He was taking me out to my favourite restaurant! I rushed around getting ready and finally went downstairs, hugging Sapphire tight.

“You will never guess what happened last night!”

“What?! Tell me!” Sapphire pulled away from me and examined my excited face

“Surge proposed to me!”

“No… Way! Please tell me you said yes!” Sapphire’s shocked eyes where full of excitement with a bit of jealousy. I nodded and showed her the ring on my finger and immediately covered my ears as the flat was filled with the sound of Sapphire squealing. The next thing I knew; all I could hear was a blur of questions being fired at me,

“Sapph, Sapph! Calm down! I can’t understand a word your saying!” We both looked at each other and giggled.

“Sorry! Sorry! When’s the wedding?”

“I don’t know; we haven’t discussed it yet! He only proposed to me last night!”

“Im going to be a bridesmaid right?”

“Of course! Don’t panic! You’ll know everything!” I heard a knock at the door and smiled. Surge was here to pick me up for our date.

“I’ll get it!” Sapphire than ran to the door and opened it “Oh hey Surge! I hear that you finally had the courage to propose!”

“Yeah. May I come in?”

“Of course!” Sapphire moved aside and in walked the love of my life. He was wearing a black suit with blue highlights. He looked so smart. He walked straight over to me and hugged me tight.

“You look so beautiful my dear.” Surge pulled away and looked over me. His eyes were full of happiness and love.

“Thank you Surge. You look amazing as well.”

“AWWE! THAT IS SO CUTE!” We looked over at Sapphire and giggled. Sapph had never really seen me and Surge together so this was a first for her.

“Come on Maria, let’s get to this restaurant. We’re going to be late otherwise”
