"Last night was incredible, Becky", I told her as
I walked her out to her car. "Well, tonight will be kind of a bore for you, so I figured you could use a little stress relief." "It worked wonders. The sex was great, and you know how I love it when you put me under before I go to sleep, but you know what the best part was?" "I know what it was for me...", she smirked "Seriously, Bec, the best part was waking up next to you this morning. It's something I want to do every morning", I said, and with that I pulled out the ring. |
She looked down right shocked. I had started to tremble as I got down
on one knee. "Rebecca, I love you more than I ever thought I could ever love anyone. You have fulfilled my most private fantasies, and exceeded my wildest expectations of what love could be. If you would marry me, I would be the happiest man on earth.", I said. She was still looking at me saying nothing. I didn't plan to do it in the middle of the street, but I was overcome with emotion. I had been planning it for months, and I was always confident she would say yes, but at this moment, I wasn't so sure. She was just staring at me, I was dying for her to speak. "Jason, I love you.....I accept", she whispered. |
I was really trembling by this point, as I stood up to put
the ring on her finger. She was shaking a bit too. It was like the whole
world had just stopped for us. I was so elated. This is the moment I had
been longing for since we first met two years ago. I know our relationship
is not typical, but it is the way we both want it. We are probably happier
than any other couple. "Lena won't be happy tonight, but I don't think I have ever been happier.", She said. Lena was her very jealous cousin. We were supposed to go to a the opening of one of her family's new salons |
tonight. I knew Becky couldn't wait to let everyone know the good news.
I wanted to call home and tell my family right away too. They didn't know
her that well, and they were a little apprehensive of the whole situation,
just because she comes from such a different background than they are used
to. I knew they would find a way to be happy for me though. As Becky looked down at the ring, she mentioned how beautiful it was, and started to cry. I couldn't believe the girl I met in the empty auditorium two years ago was going to be my wife. |
