I woke up feeling refreshed, my eyes peeping over to admire the man next to me. Today was Shawn and I's ten year anniversary. It has amazed me how long we've been together - it felt like yesterday we were out on our first date.

"Shawn! My nose!" I laugh, as Shawn grins in satisfaction, a drop of his chocolate resting on the tip of my nose.
"Don't worry, honey, I'll get it for you." He laughs, leaning forward only to wipe more on my face.
I gasp, and take a drop of my ice cream, dabbing it onto his nose in return.
"Oh no you didn't," he warns, and I stick my tongue out. I stand from my seat and jog out of the parlour.
"You're going to pay!" He giggles, standing from his seat and following me out.

I turn my head to look at the clock. It was seven in the morning; I had to get ready for work.
I knew it sucked the most having to come in to work on my anniversary, but I had no choice; plus it was only for a couple of hours.

I hurriedly scramble out of bed, freshen myself up, and slip into my work clothes; a simple blouse and fitted dress pants.
I write a quick note for Shawn, also leaving my anniversary gift for him on his dresser, knowing he'd wake up and see it.

Morning babe,

Happy 10 year anniversary! x sorry we couldn't spend the whole day together, but I'll be back from work at 2 to celebrate with you. Thanks for being my Prince Charming all these years; I love you always. xo

Love, Y/N

I stick everything on the dresser and leave our room, closing the door quietly behind me as I leave.

"babe, I'm home!" I shout, entering our house see rose stems laying in a path (how cliché heh). I smile to myself, dropping my purse onto the table, and leaning down to collect the roses.
I follow the path to our backyard where I find Shawn standing under our small gazebo, white fairy lights hanging across the whole backyard space, and a nice candlelit table just in front of him.

"wow," I breathe, "this is amazing, babe."
Shawn walks over to me and leans down to kiss me. "I couldn't have asked for a better ten years spent with anyone else," he smiles, leading me to the gazebo.

"This is for you, my muffin queen," he laughs lightly, handing me a small wrapped box.
"What is it?" I question, giving it a light shake.
"Open it," he looks at me.

And so I did.

Under all that wrapping was a velvet box, more specifically, a tiny velvet box.
I look at shawn and open it, my eyes beginning to water.
It was what I expected, a diamond ring. Not just any diamond ring though, an engagement ring.
"Y/N, will you do me the honours of being your muffin king?" Shawn proposes, taking the ring out and looking into my eyes.

"Yes, I'd love to."
