"In another life, you can be my girl"

"...after the movies ended, Eric accompanied Jane home. Throughout the journey, they talked about life and joked around whenever possible, people who doesn't know them will think they are a couple. There's nothing which they won't talk about and nothing they won't share. Upon reaching Jane's stop, they alighted and walked through the walkway with the light breeze blowing by. Then it was all quiet. The mood became very serious with a mix of awkwardness as they have nothing else to talk about anymore. Walking as slowly as possible as they are departing soon, not wanting the moment to end so fast. As Eric walked Jane to her block, she broke the silence. As it was late, Jane didn't want Eric to walk her all the way so she asked Eric to send her till where they are. Both of them still not willing to leave. "Ok bye! See you next time" Eric started off and turned his body about to leave, but he stopped suddenly.
"Hey Jane!"
"Hmm yes?"
"There's something I want to ask you"
Jane stood there rooted waiting for Eric to say what he wanted to say as Eric was very shy and uncertain whether he should say it.
"Hmm, just wanna ask..."
"What?! Hurry up its late! Say what you gonna say! You gotta catch the last bus, you have work tomorrow!"
"It's nothing actually, see you next time!"
"Alright"
Jane turned and walked away.
Then she turned her head to make sure Eric had safely crossed the streets to the bus stop.
Eric stood across the road staring at Jane and shouted.
"If you don't have a boyfriend, will you be with me?!"
Jane was astonished. Eric wasn't waiting for an answer. He just always wanted to ask that question for a long time but he didn't want to be a third party and spoil the relationship of Jane and her boyfriend.
After shouting, Eric turned and walked away with his heads down.
"Yes!!" Jane suddenly exclaimed at the top of her lungs.
" I hope I can spend the rest of my life with you!"
Eric couldn't believe what he heard and he ran straight missing the bus stop. He was just sprinting straight as he couldn't believe it. Tears came flowing down non stop. It was too good to be truth. But, it is the end.
