Lo prometo.

'""˜Thank you so much baby sis.

'""˜Anytime big bro.

SkylarIt's finally 3:30 and I have run out of ideas.

I have been dragging Taylor everywhere through town.

We have made it home and Taylor said she had to pee like a racehorse so I wasn't one to hold her back.

""Elyse and Amber, I need you guys to keep Taylor company so I can go with Carter and help him pick out the ring.

"" They nodded.

""Hey Taylor.

My parents called while you were in the bathroom.

They need my help with something.

Elyse and Amber will keep you company until I get back.

Okay?"" ""Okay.

Be safe.

And kick Carter's ass when you see him for me.

"" She giggled.

""Will do.

"" I smiled.

""I'm so nervous.

What if she says no? Oh my gosh.

That would be terrible! What if she doesn't like the ring? What if I get the wrong one? Oh wow, I sound like a girl.

Yep, there goes my man card.

"" I have been sitting in a car with Carter for about 15 minutes and he keeps going nonstop about anything and everything that could possibly go wrong tonight.

""Carter.

"" ""She could not like that party.

"" ""Uh Carter.

"" ""What if she doesn't like her presents?"" ""Um Carter?"" ""The cake! Oh my gosh.

What if the cake isn't done in time?"" ""Earth to Carter?"" ""What would happen if the decorations aren't put up properly?"" ""Carter!"" I yelled.

He snapped his eyes to meet mine.
