Cypress POV
It was just a normal day for Cypress. She was honestly feeling quite down when she hopped in the car with her beloved boyfriend Tom to go on a ride around the city like they always did. She spent a lot of time looking out the window enjoying the sights.
As per usual, Tom drove like an absolute maniac. Which always made them have banter between each other about how many times he would get pulled over but this time seemed a bit different. He received many phone calls during the ride from supposedly his dry cleaner “Marcus” which was an excuse they had made up once to get out of a speeding ticket so she knew he was lying and was skeptical.
Eventually Tom made a drift right in front of a cop and spun out. Cypress hung her head in embarrassment as the cop pulled up beside them. Instead of pulling them over, he rolled down his window.
“That was a bit silly wasn’t it,” The cop, who later on they would find out was John Styll said, shaking his head at them. “Don’t let me catch you doing it again.” And he pulled away, letting them off with a warning. Cypress let out a breath of relief, not having to deal with the cops. Tom just sped off and continued to drive like a maniac.
The two headed up north and Tom continued to get calls from an unknown caller, making Cypress even more skeptical.
Tom POV
Back up a few weeks before the drive, Tom had an idea brewing in his head. He had been with Cypress for a pretty long time and they worked together very well. He wanted to propose and he needed to find a way to do it.
He decided to ask Paige, her best friend and a friend to himself to help him with his tentative idea.
They decided that the crew would meet up somewhere and wait while Tom and Cypress went on a drive around the city. Tom thought of an absolutely stupid and yet brilliant idea to get into a chase with cops and ultimately end up there to propose. The plan hatched and finally they decided on the day.
That day he started taking Cypress on the last drive of them being in the dating stage of their relationship. Paige gathered the troops and called Tom with updates every once and a while. He decided to disguise the calls as from his pretend dry cleaner Marcus. Once they were in place, Tom set out to get pulled over.
Ultimately he tried for about 20-30 minutes trying to get pulled over to no avail. The only cop they had run into had only given them a warning. He knew that Paige and the crew were waiting so he decided along with Paige just to send it and propose without the cop chase.
The crew was waiting at the Sandy Shores Airfield so he made his way there. Cypress seemed to be a bit skeptical but she didn’t seem to have a suspicion fully. When arriving on the airstrip he felt his heart start beating wildly.
Cypress POV
They were riding around in Sandy and Tom took a turn onto the Sandy Airfield which was a bit strange. They were completely quiet as he made his way down the airstrip. At the end of the airstrip, Cypress’s heart leapt as she saw all of her friends in the crew gathered with their cars positioned, waiting for them.
Her heart was loud in her chest as Tom exited the vehicle and she followed him, about to start questioning what they were doing.
That’s when Tom crouched down onto one knee. She covered her mouth in surprise and almost started crying right away.
“Cypress, will you marry me?”
She immediately said yes and the two kissed as he slid the gorgeous ring he had picked out onto her hand. It was gold and platinum with a pink diamond in the center. Exactly how Cypress would’ve wanted it, considering she found regular diamonds lame and overrated.
The crew erupted into cheers, some of them happy crying alongside Cypress, and surrounding the couple.
After the initial celebration and a couple gifts the couple headed out to continue their drive now as fiances. Paige left stating that she had to go get her gift and telling them to keep the news notifications on.
Shared POV
The two headed back into the city, smiles on both of their faces as they discussed the ring and also Tom’s original idea for the proposal. He continued to drive like a maniac like he always did. Ultimately they were pulled over, by the same cop as before!
That’s when the weasel ad came up, congratulating them on their proposal. The cop was taking their id’s and they told him that the ad was for them and they had a laugh about it. Tom even told the officer his original plan.
The officer frowned at it and told him that he would be celebrating his proposal in jail if they had been successful. Tom and Cypress both agreed that it would’ve been worth it and the cop shook his head at them.
He let them off with another warning as a present for them and they got his name and would remember him from then on as being a part of it.
They continued their drive as a happy engaged couple. And started thinking about their wedding.
