I threw my books on my bed. It was my first week at college. I had a million books and a snobby roommate. My dorm was across the lawn from Nick's. Two different buildings but that was okay. At least we were near each other. It was Nick's second year here. My first. Nick showed me around campus, told me about everything. It was fun. I was going to be a Science teacher and Nick was majoring in theater. College was hard and I hated living room with my roommate. She would give me an attitude, make a mess in the room, and she even tried to steal Nick away from me!! Nick just laughed at her attempt at it. He said he loved me and only me.We've been going out four almost four years already. My first boyfriend and weve been together that long. Wow. Anyway, Nick was going to take me out tonight. Away from college. There was this fancy restaurant out on the beach about 15 minutes from the dorms(Author's note: I have no clue where the U of F is at so I made it have a beach by it) we were going to. I was going to wear my dress I bought on my 17th birthday. Since I got it I've only worn it twice. Nick's never seen it. The day dragged on forever. Finally Nick came. We walked out to his car and he opened the door for me. Then he went around and got in. We drove to the restaurant in quiet. Nick opened all the doors for me, pulled out my chair and everything. After four years he still did all this. I love it. We ate dinner and then went on the boardwalk holding hands.
"You know we've been going out for almost four years Nick."
"Yeah, and every year I love you even more."
I smiled and said, " I love being with you too Nick. Every minute."
"I wouldn't trade you in for anything Angel."
"You still call me Angel. Maybe I should change my name on my birth certificate."
Nick laughed. "Nah, I like Lisa, but your my Angel so I'm going to call you that."
"Nick, your so sweet. I love you."
"I love you too."
We shared a nice kiss and continued on walking. Around 9:30 Nick said, "I think I should get you back. I don't want any boogie man to come out and get you."
"Me either Nick. Unless his name was Nick Carter and he kidnapped me. He said he would keep me until I gave him a million kisses."
"Hey,that's a good idea. I should try it sometime."
"Yeah, sure Nicky." I ruffled his hair.
Nick dropped me off at my room and said goodbye. My roommate Sarah opened the door while we were kissing and told Nick to leave. When he left about 5 minutes later, I went inside and blasted her for saying that.
"Why did you say that?"
"Cuz I felt like it. You don't deserve Nick," she said.
"And I suppose you do?"
"Yeah. Nick likes me Lisa. Not you."
"In your dreams girl."
"Oh, it will be tonight."
I ignored her and started studying for my first test. I stayed up half the night and was almost late the next day for class. Nick and I met up for lunch and I told him what Sarah said.
"Yeah right. Like I would ever fall for her."
"She assumes that you would."
"She thinks that every guy likes her and tries to steal away the guy from their girlfriend. Never worked."
"Good. As long as you love me."(Author's note: hey..that's a bsb song)
"Well, I do. And I have a surprise for you tonight."
"What is it?"
"It's a surprise, like I said."
"Your no fun." I pouted. Nick gave me a kiss and took me back to school. I just wish I could stay with him. I didn't want to go back to classes. Oh well. Nick said he would pick me up at 6 o'clock and then he would take me out for dinner. I had 3 more classes before he would come. I got through the day with no trouble except for the hundred times Sarah would tell me that Nick loves her. I just ignored her because I knew it wasn't true. During my last class, it felt like I was in there for years. Finally, it was over. I walked back to my room and changed into something nice. I had this light black dress that I put on. I thought it looked nice. When Nick came and picked me up, he was wearing khakis and a nice blue top. He looked sexy.
"So, where are we going Nicky boy?"
"Don't call me Nicky boy, and you'll see when we get there."
"Fine. Be that way."
We went to this nice French place, Nick paid, I asked him if I could chip in because it was really expensive, but he said he would cover it. He bought me a single rose and we went out for a walk on the beach. We were quiet for a little bit before Nick said something.
"You know how much I love your right?"
"Of course I do. And I love you too."
"It'll be four years this May 3rd. Four wonderful years."
"Yeah, it has been. Minus all the things that went on."
"Yeah, minus all that, I've loved spending time with you. My family loves you and so do I."
"Nick, your going to make me cry."
" Hold on to those tears Angel."
"Why?"
"No reason"
I wanted to know what Nick meant. We walked along the beach, then Nick stopped.
"What's wrong Nick?"
"Nothing."
"Why did you stop then?"
"Because I wanted to do this."
Nick got down on one knee. Oh my god I said to myself. Now I know why he said to hole onto my tears. He held out a ring to me.
"Will you marry me Lisa?"
