*Lucy's POV*

Zacky's been acting kinda strange ever since yesterday afternoon when he came home. Something's up, there's no doubt about that, I just don't know what. It seems as if everyone but me has been clued in on some big secret. My birthday was four months ago, so that can't be it. I dunno. Maybe I'm the one acting strange.
On another Zacky-related note, today is our aniversary! Five months, but it feels like five years. It's not long at all, but it feels like it's been a lifetime. One long, hopefully never ending lifetime. He told me last night as we were lying in bed together that he's planned for today to be the most romantic day of my life. Knowing Zacky, I could hardly sleep thinking of the possibilities.
I woke up early, but not early out of excitement, but Zacky had woken up earlier and was already downstairs. I came downstairs and entered the kitchen, ready to make myself breakfast, but it would appear that Zacky's already beaten me to it.
"Morning Princess," He greeted with a huge smile. I smiled back and wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his cheek.
"Good Morning, Prince Zacky. What's cookin' good lookin'?" I asked. He laughed and answered,
"I'm making your favorites. Waffles with whipped cream and cherries." I gushed, how sweet of him! I had the best boyfriend ever.
"Just a little something to say 'I love you' on our aniversery. " He added, pecking me on the lips.
"It's our aniversary? Huh. I must've forgotten." I said jokingly. Zacky rolled his eyes, but then had an evil smile.
"Yes, yes it is. You forgot? I'm gonna have to punish you.." He said. Oh, no. I knew where this was headed. He turned around, now facing me. I tried to squirm away but I couldn't. He began tickling me like crazy, and didn't show any signs of stopping.
"Zacky!! Stopp!!" I pleaded, breathless from laughing.
"Nooo! Never!" He laughed back, he was so damn adorable.And all mine.
After we ate our breakfast, Zacky continued living up to his promise of the most romantic day of my life.
Our first stop was the mall.
We walked in, hand and hand. I wasn't quite sure what we were doing here;I mean what's so romantic about a mall? I was going to continue walking straight, but Zacky pulled me to the right, and began walking toward "Clarisse's Closet." A super expensive store I've never even been inside of. We walked inside. We were now surrounded by the most beautiful clothes I'd ever seen, and also the highest prices. Short dresses, long dresses, anything you could imagine, it was there. I was still in awe with i felt something in my hand. It was a credit card, Zacky's. I looked at him, confused.
"Wh-" I began, but was quickly cut off by him saying:
"I want you to pick out the prettiest dress you can find. I'm taking you out to dinner later and I want you to feel as spectacular as i think you are." I felt the biggest smile form on my face, and it wasn't going away.
"Oh, Zacky! I love you so much!" I said, wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him the biggest hug I could manage.
"I love you too, baby." He said, smiling back and kissing my forehead and pushing my bangs out of my face. As he took his hand in mine, we began to look around.
After many hard decesions, I think i've finally found the dress. It's a gorgous royal purple, with silver linings and I looked damn good in it. Zacky agreed and we made our purchase. I then left the mall with Zacky, totally stoked for what he had planned next.

It was around lunchtime when we left the mall. I don't know how Zacky did it, but he'd managed to hide a picnic basket in the backseat of his convertable without me knowing anything about it.
We drove to the beach, which only took about twenty minutes. when we arrived, we found a spot and sat down our blanket and basket. It wasn't fancy or anything, but it was adorable. It was two PB&J sandwiches, a bag of goldfish crackers, and juiceboxes.
"Zacky, this is perfection." I complimented as i took a bite of my sandwich.
"You think this is nice? You haven't seen anything yet, Miss Combs." He said, a shy smile on his face. I was dying to know what he meant by that. How could anything top this?
We finished our food and carried our stuff back to his car, not breaking the grasp we had on each other's hands. His hand fit so perfectly in mine.

We got home to an empty house, no doubt requested by Zacky, but it was still nice. In the living room waiting for us was a stack of DVD's. "The Lion King" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" Were two of the four that were lying there. Zacky popped in "The Lion King" and went to go make popcorn. I sang along to all the songs, cried when Mufasa died, and ended up dozing off in the absolute comfortableness of Zacky's chest.
"Luuuuucyyy," Zacky whispered in my ear, giving me chills.
"Yesss?" I answered groggily.
"The movie's over. You missed a good 1/3 of it." He said, laughing.
"That's cool.." I said, fighting to stay awake. I was so comfy, surrounded by his tattooed arms. I began to trace them. I'm surprised I hadn't noticed how detailed and beautiful his tattoos are. I was awake now. I began tracing the letters of my name with my finger in the small open spot.
"Whatcha doin'?" Zacky asked, smiling.
"Doooooodling." I answered, he chuckled.
"You wanna draw on my arm? If you can find a free space." He asked. I nodded and he handed me a pen that was on the table. The guys must've been writing a song or something recently.
I clicked the pen open and wrote my name in the spot i'd been tracing. I took my time, writing i a fancy font. When i was done it almost looked real.
"Ta-da." I said, pointing out my masterpiece.
"I love it. And you." he said, smiling. I smiled back, we kissed.

'Wanna watch another movie?" He asked. I nodded.
"Nightmare Before Christmas please." I requested, standing up to go make more popcorn. Zacky nodded and opened up the disc. The movie began and I sat down. Now this I could always stay awake for.
When the movie ended it was around six o' clock.
"Hey babe, the place i'm taking you kind of takes a while to get to, maybe we should start getting ready." Zacky suggested. I nodded, not able to stop smiling. Dinners with Zacky were always amazing, but something about this one feeling like it could somehow top the rest.

We got ready quickly, both of us very anxious. Although Zacky seemed more than excited, he also looked nervous. Nervous? Zacky still gets nervous to go on dates with me? How adorable! I slipped on my fresh out the box dress after I'd showered and made myself look pretty by curling my hair and applying a thick layer of black eyeliner.

Zacky looked absolutley gorgous. He was sporting a bow tie, as usual, but this time he had a full suit to go with it.
"Babe, a little help please?" He asked, gesturing for me to come clip his bowtie for him. I nodded and did it.
"Thanks." He answered, turning around to look at me.
"Wow..you look..oh my god.." He stammered, speechless. I blushed, and answered,
"Thank you very much, Mr. Baker. You look more handsome than usual, and I didn't think that was possible." He exteneded his arm, offering it to me and asked,
"Shall we?" I smiled, taking his arm and answered,
"We shall."

Zacky was right, this drive is pretty long. We've been driving for over a half an hour. But it's not like we were bored. We had the radio blaring Five Finger Death Punch's "Lift Me Up." We jammed out together. I loved how I could be a total dork around him.
I love him so much, more than anything in this world. Hell, if he asked me to marry him tonight I'd totally say yes. I want to be with him until the end of time. I never want to lose him.

We arrived at the restaurant a short fifteen minutes later, totaling a drive of about forty-five minutes. This place was beyond packed, and it was Thursday night. Zacky approached the hostess and said,
"I have reservations for Baker, party of two." He smiled at me. I returned it. I was so excited.
"Right this way sir," The hostess said, directing us to our table. He pulled out my chair for me like a true gentleman and I blushed and thanked him.
"Seventy-five dollars for a damn salad? There'd better be golden croutons on there for that price." I said while observing my menu. This place was ridiculously priced.
"Babe, don't worry about it. Come on now, you're with Zacky V. And Zacky V's got this." He explained.
"Alrighhttt." I said reluctantly.
We ordered our food and talked.
"Have I ever tried to explain to you how happy you make me?" He asked. I shook my head and smiled happily. "Well good. Cause I wouldn't know how to put it into words. Your beauty, your amazing, I just really, truly do love you with all my heart." He said, making me blush for like the millionth time tonight.
"I love you too, Zacky. More than you will ever realize. You're just so..perfect." I said.
"Am not." He protested playfully.
"Are to!"
"Am not."
"I could go on forever."
"So could I"
"This means war." I said, playfully glaring at him. He stuck his tongue out at me. I laughed and so did he.
Dinner was fucking delicious, almost worth the stupid prices. After we'd ordered our dessert, Zacky said,
"Lucy..there's something I wanna give you, but I'm afraid of how you'll react.." I was confused.
"Don't be scared of me. How intimidating could five foot three be?" I asked, smiling. He didn't smile back. He looked beyond scared.
"Surprisingly, a lot." He said. There was a silence.
"Let me give you my gift." I said, breaking the silence. He smiled and said,
"Aww, babe. Don't spend your money on me. I' would have been perfectly happy if you hadn't gotten me anything" He protested.
"Don't spend your money on me? Seriously? Zacky, you spend like every cent on me. I feel kinda guilty sometimes..anyway, here ya go. I love you, happy anniversary." I said, smiling as he opened it.
"Don't you ever feel guilty about me spending money on you. I want to.Money is no object for you, okay? And thank you baby, I love you to. Happy anniversary." When Zacky opened it, he looked genuinely happy, which made me feel awesome.
"Yooo! A watch! This is awesome. Thank you." He said sincerely. I nodded and smiled happily.
"Anything for you." I said, he smiled at me.
"Okay, uh I guess it's my turn." He said, holding up a medium-sized bag.
"Before you open it, just know that you're amazing. You're my whole world and I love you more than anything. I mean every word I've ever said to you.I love you." I couldn't stop smiling as he said this. Inside of the bag I saw a teddy bear. I took it out of the bag and looked at it. It was wearing a wedding dress, kind of strange but I'll go with it. It was also wearing a silver necklace with a..a ring around it.
"Zacky..I.."
