44. Proposals - Wanda

Somewhere in you heart you had known that Wanda was 'the one' for quite awhile but it had taken some time for you to be sure it was the right time to propose. Once you were sure you started to plan, first by trying to figure out how you should do it, and where. After a lot of planning you ended up deciding that you were going to set up dinner at the french restaurant that Wanda had taken you to after one of you trips. You talked to Tony about having him help rent out the restaurant like Wanda did last time and you talked to Pietro about distracting her for the day while you set the whole thing up. 

You also spent weeks trying to find the perfect ring for her, searching every jewelry shop that you could find. You went to name brand diamond companies and to smaller family owned jewelry shops looking for the perfect ring. You ended up choosing one from a smaller family shop that had a silver band. The setting had four tiny garnet stones, two on each side of a round diamond and you had it engraved with the words 'Forever yours.' You were going to pick the ring up the morning before your proposal dinner.

The day finally came and Wanda said goodbye as she was headed out to spend the day with her brother. Not ten minutes later you headed out to the jeweler and picked up the ring, it was perfect. It was in a red box that opened like a book (See the picture at the top). Then you went back to the apartment to call Tony and make sure everything was set for the dinner, which was about the fifth time you were checking in. When you called Tony he picked up after the phone rang a few times.

"Hello (Y/N)." Tony answered quickly.

"Hey Tony, I just wanted to call to make sure eve-" Tony interrupted before you could finish.

"You want to make sure everything is set for your dinner and I am going to tell you for like the tenth time, that everything is all set. Now, go have a good night and get your girl." With that he hung up before you could say anything else, and you chuckled at him shaking your head. You put down the phone and went to get dressed before heading to the restaurant. You put on your favorite nice outfit and grabbed one of Wanda's red jackets that you had 'borrowed' from her. Then you checked yourself out in the mirror before giving one last look at the ring and headed out to the restaurant.

When you got there you were greeted very nicely and shown to the table where you and Wanda would be having dinner. It was the same table as the last time set up in the center of the room and the other tables were pushed out of the way. The restaurant was going to be empty of all other patrons for the night, so that you and Wanda could have this special night to yourselves. After checking out the table and making sure it was set to your specifications the owner took you back to the kitchen so that you could set up the ring presentation. You were going to have the waiter bring out the ring with the dessert, it was going to be with dessert on the platter, which would have 'Will you marry me?' spelled out around the rim in red frosting. A moment later you were walking back out the main restaurant when Pietro came by and motioned for Wanda to enter. She came jogging up to you and embraced you while Pietro gave you a nod and left.

"What is this (Y/N)?" Wanda asked looking around at the familiar restaurant.

"Well, I enjoyed this so much when you did it for me, I thought it might be nice to return the favor." You shrugged trying to find something else to grab her attention, so she wouldn't ask too many questions. You didn't want her to get too suspicious.

"So ...no special occasion?" She asked with her eyebrows raised at you. Oh, please don't be reading my mind right now. You thought to yourself, hoping that it might make her stop even if she was reading your mind.

"Nope, just felt like doing something special." You said, smiling at her. She smiled back and you walked over to pull out her chair. "Your chair my love." You gestured for her to sit down.

"Why thank you." She responded cheerily, smiling ear-to-ear. When she sat down you pushed the chair in a bit, and walked over to your side of the table to sit down. Once you did the waiter walked over to pour you both glasses of champagne and you raised yours. Wanda then raised hers and you toasted.

"To you, the most beautiful woman in the world." At this Wanda blushed deep red, which made you giggle a bit at her. After your toast the two of you continued to eat your dinner and as the meal went on and you both got closer to finishing you could feel yourself getting more nervous. You knew you loved Wanda and that she loved you, but you couldn't help being afraid that she would say no to your proposal. You were also kind of excited because of the possibility that she would say yes. Mostly though you were just trying to hide the mixed emotions that you were feeling. When you finished eating the waiter came over and removed your empty dinner plates and looked to you to check if you were ready. You hesitated a second and then gave him a slight nod. Apparently Wanda noticed the nod.

"What was that?" She asked pointing at the waiter.

"Just acknowledging that it's time for him to bring out dessert." You took a sip of champagne and glanced back towards the kitchen to try and hide your nervousness, not very well.

"Oh good, dessert is my favorite part." She giggled at herself. A moment later the waiter came out with the dessert platter, and it still had it's lid on. You quickly sucked in a breath as the waiter set it down. Wanda smiled at him and thanked him before he removed the lid, which he quickly lifted off before walking away from the table. As soon as the lid was off Wanda was smiling and staring in awe with tear filled eyes at the question in front of her. After a moment of staring at the platter and ring she looked over at you, still with no indication of what her answer was.

"So......?" You questioned her, heart beating faster than a hummingbirds wings.

"'Yes, of course I will marry you." At this your face went from nervous to a large smile and you felt your self breathing normally again. Wanda got up and walked over to your side of the table and while you were still seated she leaned down to you and placed her hands on either side of your face. Then she kissed you passionately for several minutes and when she finally pulled away you were both still smiling. You reached over and grabbed the ring box and held it up to her. She plucked the ring out of it and examined it before slipping it on her finger. You were now officially engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world.
