Chapter 23

~*Nick*~

~*A week Later*~

I was walking up the stairs, and I was nervous. I called Nat and told her to dress up nicely, but not to nice. I knocked at the door, as I waited for someone to come, I looked at the dozen white roses that I got Nat, and the one yellow one in the middle, thirteen to be exact. I don’t know why I was so nervous, I wasn’t even this nervous when I asked her to marry me..

“What’s going on?” she asked getting up.

“Nothing sweetie.” her mom said.

“Then why does he have this huge smile?”

“Cuz I have something to ask you.” I told her.

“What?” she said said looking at me.

I moved her off of me a little bit and put my hand in my pocket. I pulled out the ring and turned around so she couldn’t see. Nat looked so confused, when I finally turned and looked at her and said,

“Nattie, I have to ask you something.” I said pulling the box open to let me see inside.

“What?” She said looking at it

“I want you to marry me. I’m not saying right now but sometime.”

She looked at her mom who just smiled at her. Nat started to cry as I took out the ring in the box and put it on her finger. She put her head on my shoulder as I asked again. “Will you baby?”

I turned towards the door as it opened, Nat stood there standing in a red dress that was just so perfect on her body. “Hey.” I said handing her the flowers.

“Thank you.” She said taking them from me and walking in, “come on it’s your house to.” she said.

“Sorry, I’m just.. Nat I’m just really nervous about this.” I said. I couldn’t ever lie to her.

She turned to me and smiled. “Just because we haven’t done anything in the past few months doesn’t mean a thing, please Nick, we can do this, I told myself that all day when your mom told me we were going to go somewhere. I’m nervous too, but this day had to come sometime.” she smiled at me.

I walked over to her and put my arms around her, “I love you, I miss you, so much that it’s starting to hurt just now.” I said into her hair.

“Me too.” she whispered, when I leaned in and gave her a kiss.

“Alright you two, you have all day for that, go and have fun.” my mom said as we broke apart. We both just stared at each other for a sec. Nat started to laugh and put her head on my shoulder. “Mom, you know how to ruin a moment. Don’t you?” I said.

“Yeah yeah, go now.” she said pushing us out of the door.

As we walked to the car, I opened the door for her and helped her in. “You didn’t have to do that.” she said as I closed my door.

“I can’t do that for you? I mean, I’m going to marry you someday, so I can’t be nice?” I said.

“No, I mean, yeah. Never mind I’m just confused.” she said.

“Well, we both are. Umm, Nat?” I asked.

“Yeah.” she said smiling at me.

“Did my mom say where we are going?”

“No, why did you forget?”

“No, I’m just wondering if she said anything, but I guess not. You see I can’t go to public restaurants for awhile, so I’m going to have to take you to a park for lunch, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Nick, I don’t mind one bit, it sounds nice, just as long as you have the will power to help fat me up.” She laughed.

“Your not fat, your sexy.” I said starting the car. “Good thing you got out of that hospital for a few hours, you can find out that I’m not.” she said. As we drove off to that place
