Cassandra

I stepped out of the elevator and stopped in my tracks. The office floor was pitch black. What the hell? I checked my phone. It was nine in the morning. Where was everybody? I was expecting to see quite some activity everywhere, given that Aaron has been crazy busy the past two days. I’m not going to lie it has been secretly annoying me. It meant I didn’t get to spend as much time with him as I’d like, but I knew I was being silly. He had some new client that I didn’t know about and he wasn’t even telling me who it was. He had stayed out late last night and then left quite early this morning saying he had a conference. But now there wasn’t even a single hint of activity.

The past five months with Aaron have been… heaven. I had never dreamed of finding a man who’d make me feel this alive, this happy. I love him with all my heart and I know that he feels the same for me because he shows it to me every single day. But this hiding and sneaking around wasn’t giving me a good feeling. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust him. I trusted him with my life, but I just wish he’d tell me what was going on.

I walked over to the switch board and turned on all the lights. And ta da… there were roses everywhere. My hand went to my mouth as I gasped. Just then a soft violin began playing Richard Marx’s tune of I will be right here waiting for you. That was my favorite song.

“Cassandra, you flipped my life upside down the moment I set my eyes on you.” It was Aaron’s voice. I turned around to see him but he was nowhere in sight. “You made me believe that I was capable of carrying a relationship – a monogamous one. Yeah, I am surprised too.” He chuckled. “You made me a better person, not that I wasn’t a good one before, but of course you think otherwise. I want my day to begin with you and end with you for the rest of my life. I want the sun to rise and set with you by my side every day. I love you, Cassandra, and I want to share your life with you. Laugh with you and cry with you. Alright that came out cheesy, didn’t it?” Tears began to fall down my cheek. “Will you just come and kiss me?” I said and there he stepped out from behind the wall to the left with a grin on his face.

“You went over the board.” I gestured at the roses and all the decorations. “I’m not finished yet, babe.” He stepped closer and then went down on his knee and grabbed my hand. “Be mine, Cassandra. Will you please marry me?” His eyes shimmered with love, desire and possessiveness. There would never be any other man in my life other than Aaron Maxfield.
