Tell Me Why
Page 22
That wasn’t the only reason my adrenaline was pumping though, and I had to concentrate heavily to keep my hands from shaking.
When it came time for my guitar solo, I tossed my guitar behind my back and strode over to Anna, grabbing the microphone from her. Staring at me in shock, she watched as I sank to my knee in front of her, the other instruments dwindling to a stop when they saw me extend a flashing diamond ring toward her.
“Anna Vasquez, I do believe the two of us could be something beautiful together and I’m wondering if you’d be willing to do me the honor of becoming my wife?” I spoke into the microphone.
Girls began screaming in the audience and the crowd took up the chant. “Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!” they repeated over and over again as Anna covered her mouth with her hands, clearly stunned. I’d told no one I was doing this tonight.
Glancing at the crowd she started laughing and held her hand for the microphone. “I’m getting the impression they want me to say yes,” she responded, egging the crowd on as they cheered even louder. Looking at me, she smiled widely. “Caleb, I thought you’d never ask,” she replied, repeating the words I’d said to her the first time we’d slept together.
“Is that a yes?” I shouted back to her over the din, smiling widely.
“That’s a yes!”
Standing, I grabbed her in my arms and kissed her as I twirled her around. “Thank you, baby. I love you so much!” I had to yell to be heard.
“I love you too!” she shouted in reply.
“I have one more request,” I said as I held her close.
“What’s that?”
“We’re in Vegas. I want to get married here tonight. We can go home and plan a big reception to share with everyone else, but I want it to just be us, right now, without all the mayhem and paparazzi. Will you do it?”
She hugged me tighter. “Yes, Caleb! A thousand times, yes!”
I couldn’t help my laughter. “Then let’s get this concert finished. We’ve got plans for later!”
“I love you,” she replied into her microphone, as we broke apart.
Returning to mine, I replied. “I love you. Now let’s rock the world!”
Stix beat out a rhythm and we started the song over. I spent the rest of the concert unable to take my eyes off Anna. She was definitely something beautiful to me and I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her.
