Y/N's P.O.V

"Do you really think this is the best idea?" Rue asks me.

"It's now or never Ruby. It's like when you know you know. Ya feel me?" I answer.

"I don't but I'll pretend I do." She mumbles.

"I'm proud of you kid. I always knew this day would come." Alexa fake cries.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "I'm older than you Lex but thanks."

"I hate to be the one that rains on your parade but if what this all goes bad?" Chloe asked.

"I don't want to think about it like that. The energy you put into the universe is what you receive. So if I think negatively then negative things will happen. That's not what I want." I reply.

"That's effective like six out of ten times but nonetheless I'm happy for you." Chloe said.

Let's hope this is one of those six times.

Tonight is the night. The rest of my life will be determined by whatever happens within the next few hours.

Maddy and I are in a better place. Much better than before I should say. Some might say we still have a long way to go and honestly I wouldn't disagree with them.

Not every relationship is perfect. The ups and downs are what define the relationship between the two people. And even if the downs sometimes outweigh the ups, if you love each other enough then you can make it work.

Two and a half years later together along with a one year old daughter, I feel like we can do anything together. We can get through anything. At least that's what has been shown in the recent years. Especially these past few months.

With a new outlook of life, I believe that there's no time better than now. So tonight I went beyond my normal expectations, with the help of the odd new trio of Chloe, Alexa, and Rue., and planned an amazing night.

I was currently getting ready for my date with Maddy. With every second that the clock on the wall ticked, the more nervous I was feeling. Tonight is a make or break moment.

I kept it simple. Gray sweater, black jeans, and a pair of timberland boots. Light jewelry along with Dior cologne.

When I finished up I got a FaceTime call from Chloe.

"What's up Chlo?" I asked.

"I'm calling to tell you that you got this and I'm extremely proud of you." She replied.

I chuckled. "You told me this earlier."

"I know but it's like last minute words of encouragement. But if it's just happens to fail then come straight to me. You know I got you." Chloe said.

"Yeah I know. I actually gotta go so I'll hit you up afterwards." I say.

"Good luck. I love you." She said.

"I love you too." I reply before ending the call.

I took a deep breath before heading both the door. It's go time.

Maddy's P.O.V

I slipped on a silk black dress with a slit going up one leg. Y/N and I may have done a lot of shit together but after all this time it's crazy to think that this is our first proper date.

I wondered what she had planned for the night. As of lately she's kind of been unpredictable. Once I was finished I checked on Riley. My mother would be watching her while we're gone.

After I knew that the both of them were okay, there was a knock on the door. I opened it and seen an average height man in a suit with dark shades on.

"Ms.Perez, I am Brandon, your chauffeur for the night. Are you ready to go?" He asked in a thick British accent.

Well I'll be damned. She's already outdoing herself. I grabbed my purse and stepped outside. In the street was a limousine. Oh she's going big.

Well done my baby, well done. Brandon opened the door for me as I climbed into the car. In the backseat was a bouquet of assorted flowers with a note attached.

Prepare for the night of your life, love Y/N

As much as I do love Y/N there is no way in hell she thought of this all on her own. She's romantic, sometimes, but not to this extent. Although im not complaining. So far it's been a dream.

I watched out the window as we passed many houses and buildings. I quickly noticed how we entered the great city of Los Angeles.

Brandon stopped the limousine in front of a very tall building. He helped me out of the car and led me inside. From there a waiter took over. He took me to the very top of the building. Rooftop to be exact.

When I stepped out on the roof, the floor was covered in rose petals. There was lit candles all over and a nice let decorated table in the middle. I was in complete awe.

Y/N stood there with a smile on her face as she stared at me.

"What is all this?" I lightly laughed.

"I think it's a date. I'm not sure though." She responded.

I walked up to her placing a loving kiss on her lips. I stared at her in admiration once we pulled away.

"Shall we get started?" She asked.

"You've never said the word shall before in your life. You don't have to start now." I chuckled.

"I picked up some words from that Brandon guy. He talks a little different." Y/N laughed.

Even though this through me completely off guard, it was also everything I've ever dreamed of. Not to bring up the past but imagine if I kept curving Y/N for Nate. He would've never done something like this.

Thankfully the universe kept pulling Y/N and I together.

____________

This date has been outstanding. The food was amazing. She hired someone to play the violin while we ate. We talked about so much. This is honestly the happiest I've seen her in a long time.

While for me, this is probably the happiest I've felt in a long time. I guess things do get better after they get worse.

The building was tall enough that we could see the rest of the city. It also had a great view of the Hollywood sign. We stood at the edge of the roof, obviously behind railing, looking at the lit up city. Beautiful view.

"You know I love you right?" Y/N asked.

"Yes I do. You say it all the time. And I love you too." I answered.

"Good but I want to explain why I love you." She said.

Oh we getting sentimental. I like it and I'm very curious to hear what she has to say. "I'm listening."

She turned her body fully facing me. Her eyes latched on with mine and k could see the emotion behind them.

"I love you for who you are. I love you because you're not afraid to be yourself. I love you for who I am when I'm with you. I love you for the person that you've turned me into. If not for you there's no telling where I'd be right now. You keep my head on straight. A good friend of mine once told me that a shawty that cares for you and puts you in check is what I need and well that's you."

I'm not one to become all emotional and whatnot but I could feel myself tearing up. Stupid feelings. She always brings out this soft spot.

"I love you because you always had faith in me. I know I put you through a lot of shit that you didn't deserve but you stuck around. You seen the good in me when others didn't. You've done so for me that I don't think I could ever repay you for. You've given me my first child. For that I will always be grateful."

"So when I say I love you I'm not saying it just to say it. There's a real meaning behind it. And I want to love you for the rest of my life and in the afterlife. I've spoken with Momma P about this and when she gave me the okay I knew that I was making the right decision."

"I can't lose you anymore Maddy. I've done that one too many times. That shit hurts. I don't like watching you go. I'm not perfect and neither are you but you're perfect for me. You always have been."

I'm pretty sure I'm crying right now. She's really pouring her heart out to me. Something that she claimed she doesn't even like doing. What have I done to deserve this?

"All I'm really trying to say is I want you. No, I need you. Not even in a sexual way cause it's deeper than that. I want to marry you. That's what I want."

She grabbed my hand in hers and got down on one knee. This is not what I think it is. Not a chance in hell is this a proposal. I'm at a lost for words.

Y/N opened the box in her hand revealing a huge diamond engagement ring. It's the prettiest ring I've ever seen in my life.

"So Madeleine Perez, will you do the honor of completing my dream and marrying me?"
