Bonnie looked at him speechlessly. "Are you still in elementary school? Do we have to hold hands to go to the bathroom?"
Myles laughed. "I'm just worried about bad guys here."
Bonnie said, "Which bad guy would dare to bully me in front of Mr. Myles?"
Myles chuckled at her words. "Okay, go ahead, but take your time."
Bonnie nodded and turned towards the direction of the restroom.
After a few steps, she turned back and saw that no one was paying attention. Bonnie changed direction and walked towards the other side.
The bartender who had been talking with Yanis earlier was already waiting on one side when Bonnie arrived. He took a couple of steps forward as she approached him and said, "Miss Cooke."
Bonnie nodded her head and asked, "Where are my things?"
"They're all inside," replied the bartender as he led Bonnie into an empty room on one side.
After checking everything carefully inside the room and making sure everything was okay, Bonnie picked up all her things and said to the bartender: "Get ready now; I'll give you a signal when it's time."
The bartender nodded his head in agreement: "All right then; I'll make sure everyone is ready."
"Thanks," replied Bonnie before changing into some new clothes and touching up her makeup before walking out again while signaling someone nearby.
Soon after that gesture from Bonnie, all of the lights inside of bar changed color - they were now warmer-looking lights than before.
The upbeat music also switched over to something much softer sounding than what had been playing earlier.
"Myles!" shouted out Bonnie loudly after coming out from one side area within earshot range where Myles was still chatting with Evan over some details which made their faces turn red with anger during their argument!
Upon hearing this voice suddenly calling his name like that so loudly across such distance between them both caused Myles' body reflexively turning around immediately toward its source without even thinking twice about it!
When he saw how stunningly beautiful she looked wearing an elegant dress while holding onto a bouquet full of roses standing not too far away from him... he became completely stunned for several seconds!
Evan noticed this reaction quickly enough under these circumstances by tapping on Myle's leg underneath table discreetly: "What are you waiting for? Stand up!"
Myles slowly stood up looking somewhat dazed as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing right there in front of his eyes!
"B-Bonnie?" stuttered out Myle's words hesitantly upon seeing how gorgeous she appeared standing there only several feet away from him while taking slow steps closer until finally stopping just short distance away saying:
"Myles... I like you!"
Upon hearing those words spoken directly by her lips so close proximity suddenly made everything else fade away into background noise leaving only this moment between them two alone together!"Let me finish what I have to say," Bonnie interrupted Myles. "I know I have a bad temper and often pick fights with you for no reason. I get angry easily, even if it's not my fault, and take it out on you. But every time, you're the one who compromises, who soothes me, who apologizes first."
"I'm also very selfish and always want to be the only one in your world. I don't like it when you pay attention to other men!"
Evan choked a little and whispered back, "I don't always hang around Myles."
Myles glared at Evan.
Evan rubbed his nose and looked away.
"But I'll mature slowly," Bonnie continued. "I won't blow up at you for no reason or ignore you all the time. I'll learn to compromise with you and tolerate your flaws. And everything that you've done for me before will be returned by me."
Holding flowers in her hands, Bonnie took two steps forward towards Myles until they were close together.
"So Myles," she said as she handed him the flowers."Will you marry me?"
Without hesitation, Myles took her hand."Yes!"
As soon as he spoke, the crowd erupted into cheers.
Myles held onto Bonnie tightly, kissing her deeply while everyone cheered them on.
"That's enough now," Evan couldn't help but whisper after watching them kiss for so long.
