"Since all my classmates rolled their eyes at how my boyfriend is in a band."
"You ever tell them the band?"
"No."
He runs his fingertips through my hair. Then his lips are on mine. Mmm, he tastes good. All the excitement in my chest pours through my lips to his.
I feel steadier when he's around, like I can do anything.
He pulls back and looks into my eyes. "That's petty, wanting to make your classmates jealous. I expect better from you."
"Please, you'll pick out something at least four carats if I don't guide you."
"Maybe." His smile spreads ear to ear. "Is that what you want?"
I nod. That's everything I want.
Good. He drops to one knee.
No.
He's not…
He looks up at me, an ocean of affection in his eyes.
Oh my God, he is. He's really doing this.
Pete takes my hand. His eyes fix on mine. "I don't ever want to run away from my feelings again. I love you more than anything. I know I want you forever." He pulls a ring box from his pocket and flips it open. "Jess James, will you marry me?"
"Yes. Of course."
He slides the ring onto my finger. It's a round solitaire on a platinum band. It's huge but it's elegant and classic too.
It's perfect.
He smiles. "Now,Ihave everything I want."
