Hey Everyone! I think I have a good enough plot that I'll be able to write this sequel. I hope its as good as the first one and I hope you all like it. Please let me know what you think about it! Love yall! =)

Today was the day. The day I've been waiting for since my father died. I promised him that I would be the first in our family to graduate from college, and here I was; doing it. It was my graduation day from the college that I enrolled at about a year ago, and the best part was, I already had a job lined up. I was going to be a teacher at a local elementary school.

I was getting ready in my bedroom…well in what use to be my bedroom; now it's just a room where I keep all my belongings. I sleep in Bruce's room every night now, since most the time he's not even home while I'm sleeping. He'll get in bed with me until I fall asleep, and then he'll sneak out and go do his Batman duties.

Bruce and I have become so close over the past year, and everyone in Gotham knows about it, which is kind of stressful, being known as the billionaire's girlfriend. Everyone at school wants to be my friend; they're always asking about him and what our life is like. Luckily for me though, all my previous classes transferred and I finished school within one year.

I grabbed my things and headed out for the ceremony. Bruce was going to leave work early to come watch me graduate; Alfred was coming too. Bruce and Alfred were the only family I had now. Don't get me wrong, I love both of them to death (in totally different ways), but I miss my parents and my brother.

My feelings about moving here to Gotham are still bittersweet. If I hadn't of moved here, I would still have my brother, but then again, if I was still home in Georgia, I would have never of met Bruce; I guess that's life…

I only got to see Bruce and Alfred for literally one minute, just long enough to give both of them hugs and tell them I'd meet them at home after the ceremony, before I had to go take my seat.

It was now after the ceremony and I was heading home. I walked into the house to see that all the lights were out, but there were candles everywhere, and a mixture of white and red rose pedals leading up the stairs. I was amazed by how beautiful the sight was as I slowly followed the pedals.

The beautiful rose pedals led me into Bruce's room where I found a candle lit dinner table for two surrounded by rose pedals. I gasped, a bit taken back by how stunning everything looked. "Bruce?" I called out, as I stepped into the room. He was nowhere to be found, until I heard the door close behind me.

I jumped slightly and turned to see a very handsome Bruce, standing there in his suit, holding flowers for me. He smiled his perfect smile as he walked towards me.

"Congratulations, beautiful," he whispered, handing me the flowers. I blushed, and tried not to giggle like a little school girl.

"Bruce, this is all way too…" he held up his hand, cutting me short.

"No, this is a very special occasion," he said. I laughed, "People graduate every year," I told him casually, although, I love the fact that he did all this, but just for graduating, it might have been a little much.

He just smiled at me, and motioned for me to sit down. I sat down at the table, as Alfred brought out dinner for Bruce and me.

We ate in silence for the most part. Bruce seemed to be concentrating very hard on something.

"Something on your mind, Bruce?" I was hoping he would open up to me. He looked up, and smiled softly.

"No, not really. Just enjoying our time together," he leaned over the table and reached for my hand. I gently rubbed the back of his hand with my thumb. It was true, lately we haven't spent much time together, except in the afternoons; even then it would only be a couple of hours.

Soon, dinner was over; Bruce stood up and all of a sudden soft music started playing. He walked over to where I was sitting and held out his hand, "Would you like to dance, milady?" Bruce asked exactly the same way as he did the first time we had danced together. I giggled quietly, but decided to play along.

"I'm sorry Bruce, but I don't know how to dance," he laughed now as he pulled me up from my seat and into his arms. "Well, Ms. Morris, it's time for you to learn," he whispered softly into my ear.

I rested my head on Bruce's shoulder as we slowly danced together. Bruce had ditched the whole proper form of dancing, and now was just holding me tightly around my waist. I sighed happily, enjoying every moment we had together. The sun was now setting, so I knew soon Bruce would have to leave.

I was pulled back to reality by Bruce speaking to me, "I love you so much, Kristina," he whispered, as he pulled back to look me in the eyes.

I smiled, "I love you too, Bruce," I said right before he softly kissed my lips.

"How much do you love me?" he asked seriously as our lips parted.

"With my whole heart; I've never loved anyone as much as I love you," I told him truthfully.

"Good," he said as he pulled away from me. I was confused.

"Where are you going?" I asked, slightly hurt by how quickly he just pulled away.

Bruce went and picked up a beautiful red rose that was sitting in a vase on the bedside table, and walked back over to me.

He carefully handed it to me, at first I was worried because there wasn't anything covering the stem, but once I touched it I noticed it was thorn less.

"A beautiful thorn less red rose," he started, while I was looking at it, "red being the color of love…and thorn less; meaning love at first sight," Bruce whispered to me.

I brought the rose up to my nose to smell it…I then noticed something sparkly inside the pedals. I opened it up, and there inside the rose I found the most gorgeous diamond ring that I had ever seen.

I looked up at Bruce…I was speechless. He then got down on one knee, and softly took my hand that was holding the ring.

"Kristina, I've loved you ever since our first dance. I promise that I will always take care of you, be there for you, and I will always be willing to risk everything to save you. Kristina Morris, will you marry me?" Bruce asked, holding the ring out to me.
