1205 Words
I was helping Greg to move into my place. We brought boxes in from the store. Later that night we had a date with Bobby Pete and the other girls. I was excited for tonight.
We were going to a special new restaurant in town as well. I was seated with Marcia over on one of the couches. She was sneaking and snowing me old photos of her and her siblings.
Telling me all kinds of cute Greg stories when they were growing up. She even showed me photos of Aunt Alice with them at times.
I loved seeing my aunt. She looked so happy for so many years. She truly loved working for the Brady family.
I could see why she loved working for this family.

"This was the time Greg, and I were running for school president at the same time. At the same school of course. And our siblings were on both girl side with girls boys sided with the boys. I cried nearly all week that week. Until one afternoon I overheard Greg talking to a boy that was working on his campaign with him." she was explaining to me.
"Then what happened?" I beg to know.
"Well then the boy says I can start a nasty rumor about your sister. And no one will want to vote for her after they hear them, Greg says you say anything about my sister, and I will clobber you" laughs Marcia. "I was hiding in the bushes they did not know I heard them talking. I was so proud of Gregory"
"Then Marcia let me win. I was president of the school for that year. I was leaving for high school before she was. She was the best sister" Greg mentions as he walks in the room. "Why are you showing Daisy my goofy photos?" he demands to know.
"I wanted to see them" I giggle. "you were so cute"
"Were?" he teases.
I blush. "Are" I change my answer.
He grins looking pleased. "Thanks" he laughs.
"Are there more boxes? Do you need help?" I ask him.
He shakes his head. "These are the last ones"
"And we have the others, goodbye Greg" says Peter. "I get his room" he says with a wink.
"Are you ready for a roommate?" I ask Greg.
"Sure am" he says softly. "The most beautiful one I ever laid eyes on" he tells me.
I am blushing more as he leans over and kisses me on the cheek.
We head over to my place.
♡♪♬♪♡
"You can set those boxes over there" I tell the boys as I point to the corner of the room.
"Your place is wonderful Daisy" says Mrs. Brady.
"Thank you so much" I say.
"I am glad Greg will still be so close by" says Mrs. Brady. She grins.
"I am glad I get his room" laughs Peter.
"Dork!" mumbles Greg.
"Well, we have a date to get ready for tonight boys, so we will see everyone later" I remind them.
We say goodbye. And they head out the door.
"Hear that?" asks Greg as he holds me close.
"Hear what?" I ask.
"Nothing. Nothing at all" sighs Greg with a smile.
I laugh.
"I am thrilled to be living with you Daisy" he softly says as we look into one another's eyes. He kisses me.
"I love you to" I answer. "let's get ready for that date" I say.
We both hurry and take showers. Then we dress up. I help Greg tie his tie for him. Then I get on some high heels to go with my fancy dress. I last wore this dress at my cousins wedding. I put on a pearl necklace around my neck.
"You look divine" he tells me as his eyes rest on me.
"Why thank you sir. You look very handsome. So sharp in that outfit" I praise him.
"All for you" he says as he holds me then nibbles kisses along the side of my neck.
"Greg!" I giggle.
The doorbell rings.
"Oh boy they are here. I can't wait" I exclaim with joy.
We rush down my stairs at the same time. I swing the door open before Greg does. There was Pete, Bobby, with Katie and Jen.
They all looked so dressed up. I almost wish we would bring along the girls and dates to. It would have been really fun to have the family together.
♡♪♬♪♡
"You look so pretty Jen" I praise my friend. "Nice to meet you Katie" I tell her as we shake hands.
"She is beautiful" says Bobby who looked like he had stars in his eyes. Katie giggles.
"Pleasure to meet you" she answers.
"You already to go?" says Greg.
"Let's hit the road" says Peter.
We all get into two cars. I get into Greg's some get into Peter's car then we head into town. Greg reaches over holding my hand in his. We lace our fingers together.
We looked so fancy being all dressed up. I could not stop stealing glances over at Greg. He was so handsome. We pull into the restaurant. And we are soon seated right away.
No issues. Greg gets the chair out for me.
"I was confused why something so fancy for tonight?" I ask Greg curiously.
"It felt like that kind of a night with Katie joining us and all. It was Bobby's idea" he tells me.
"Oh, I see" I mention softly.
♡♪♬♪♡
We look over the menus. Then they take them. We get drinks and a snack at the table. A little band comes by our table to play soft music for us. I loved it. So romantic. Then one of the men in the band asked me what I would like for them to play.
"Go ahead pick a song" demands Greg.
"Are you sure?" I say shyly.
"Go for it" the others encourage me.
"Alright, how about I Can't Help Falling In Love With You, by Elvis?" I shyly reply.
The band plays my song for me.
"Greg it is so lovely right?" I go to ask as I look Greg was not seated beside me. I glance down and Greg was down on one knee now. "Greg!" I gasp.
He takes my hand in his with a shaky nervous hand. "I loved you the moment I laid eyes on you. Everyone said we were perfect for one another. That I needed to meet you and when I did I knew they were right. You, Daisy were and are perfect for me" he softly says so seriously as he smiles at me. "I have one thing I want to say"
"Yes Greg?" I ask.
"Marry me? Be my wife? I want to spend the rest of my life with you" he tells me.
"Really? Oh Gregory" I exclaim with joy.
I rush to his embrace.
"So, is that a yes?" teases Pete.
"I am not sure" laughs Bobby.
"Yes! It is a YES!" I answer as I kiss Greg.
He slides the ring on my finger.
"I can't believe it. You will be my wife" he softly says.
"Believe it" I answer him.
I plant a kiss on his lips.
I could hardly wait to plan this wedding to marry him. I was not expecting today to be the day he asked me. This was better than I ever imagined. My ring was amazing. I loved Greg and I could not wait to be his wife.
