~Funny Man

~Chapter 7

Dylan stayed silent, still processing what you just told him. He moves to the bed and sits down. His eyes begin to water, breaking your heart. The last thing you wanted to do was hurt the man you love. "I...I need time," he says suddenly, "to think about all of this. You can stay here at the house. I'll go crash at Jordon and Randi's for a couple of nights." You nod, understanding his reasoning. "That's fine. I understand. I didn't mean to hurt you. I got caught up in the moment...but I know that's still not an excuse. Take all the time you need. I just want you to keep in mind while you're thinking that I love you. I admit it was wrong and you have every right to avoid me or even end it with me, but before you decide, I love you. And you're my world. Yes, I fucked up and I'm going to regret it forever- even if you do forgive me- because it kills me to see you hurt like this. I love you so damn much and I hate myself for hurting you. So whatever you decide, I'll accept it. As long as you're happy love." You say with tears in your eyes and an apologetic half smile on your face as you finish speaking. He doesn't say a word and just stares at you, tears in his eyes, same as you.

**Two days later**

"God I miss him. I miss waking up in his arms. I haven't heard from him in 2 days. It's the longest we've been apart, other than when he and the rest of the band are on tour. I hope to god he won't leave me. I want him. To be his forever and vice versa...to marry him. Maybe...maybe have a kid or two..." You think to yourself in the quiet house. "It wouldn't be so bad to have a baby. He'd make a great father." You suddenly hear your phone ring from upstairs. You left it in your room, and not wanting to miss the call, you race upstairs, tripping on a step but quickly recover. You snatch up your phone from the bedside table to see Dylan's contact name on the caller ID. You answer with out hesitation. "Dylan?"
"I've thought about it and...I'm coming home."
"Oh thank god!" You say with relief. "I've missed you. I really am sorry baby. You don't know how scared I was that you'd leave me...I can't live without you. And I've thought about it too and I've decided something- I'm ready to have kids if that's what you want. We could get married and have a real family. I just want you to be happy. I want a little Dylan Jr. running around and to be your wife- if that's what you want..."
"Yes baby. Yes!" He says, you imagining his beautiful smile and bright, cheery eyes. "I love you so much. I want a family with you too. We can move on from all this and get married. It's going to be hard to forget everything that's happened with you and Danny, but I can't just walk away from 'us'. You mean too much to me and I can't just throw away all we've had together. Plus, there's no one else I'd rather be with than with you; my beautiful, amazing, and perfect fiancé." That word made you smile through the tears that poured out of your eyes as he forgave you. You feel happiness and guilt at the same time, but also feel lucky- to have a man as amazing and understanding (not to mention good looking) as Dylan. You wipe some tears from your face and speak, "Tha-Thank you babe. I'm happy and glad you're coming home. I've been so lonely without you. I felt lost without you sleeping next to me. And...I wanna get married as soon as possible, ok? You're the greatest thing that happened to me and the best boyfriend I could have. I'm glad I didn't lose you...and now I can call you my fiancé. Soon I'll be Mrs. Dylan Alvarez." You say a bit shakily from crying. He chuckles happily on the other end of the phone and you state that you're on your way to pick him up and bring him home, where he belongs.

-------------------------------------

"Well congratulations you two!" The saleswoman says cheerily. It's been 2 weeks since Dylan came home. He asked your hand in marriage as soon as he got through the door of your house. Today was the day to pick out an engagement ring, then announce it to your close friends- together. "Babe, I'm not sure if we should tell Danny, or invite him over to the announcement." You say, thinking about how much of a disaster it'd be. He nods in agreement and you can see the anger burning in his eyes as he thinks of Danny. You grab his hand and his eyes become soft as he gazes into yours. The woman clears her throat in order to continue to show you both beautiful rings. She presents you the most beautiful ring you've ever seen, causing you to gasp. Dylan smiles as he watches your overwhelmed expression. "If it's what you want babe." He says encouragingly. "Money is no object. You're worth it." He announces as he kisses your cheek. After purchasing the ring, which was just your size, he places it upon your ring finger. He picks you up, twirling around with you in his arms and kisses you. The jeweler smiles and everyone else in the jewelry store claps. You walk out, hand in hand with Dylan, and begin to walk home- it was nice outside so you'd both decided to walk throughout the day and enjoy the weather. It seemed to fit the occasion.

-------------------------------------

"Woo!" Matt howls after hearing yours and Dylan's announcement. "About damn time." George adds on with a smirk. You begin to blush and Dylan grabs your hand. Jorel and Jordon fist bump, grinning at each other. Randi jumps from Jordon's lap and gives you a congratulatory hug. "Come on babe, help me with the drinks." You tell Dylan, pulling him with you towards the kitchen. As you open the fridge door to grab beers for everyone, Dylan pushes it shut and pulls you into his embrace. "I love you." He says. Before you can respond he closes the gap between you two, connecting his soft lips with yours. Reluctantly, you pull away. "I love you too. Now come help me with these beers. We'll serve them and hang for a bit, then we'll get some 'us' time." He grins, acknowledging what you meant and grabs some beers as well. "God I can't wait." He whispers in your ear as you both exit the kitchen.

**2.5 hours later**

"All right. Well, it's getting late. Me and Jordon are gonna head out while he can still stand up." Randi announces, having Jordon clinging to her waist. Everyone says goodbye and she congratulates you and Dylan one last time. "I'm gonna head out too. Wanna swing by Asia's to tuck Ava in before bed." George says, bro-hugging Dylan and pecking your cheek as he exits. "I'd better go too. All the babes are hitting the bar right about now." Matt announces grinning and exiting as well, hugging you and Dylan simultaneously. "Guess I'm last to head out." Jorel announces. "Not really looking forward to it though. Me and Nessa are having problems..." He says with a frown. You smile sympathetically at him, then glance at Dylan. "Babe..." You say, looking into his eyes. He groans, understanding the look on your face. "Fine. Jorel, you can stay in the guest room tonight if you want."
"Really? I don't wanna over-stay my welcome." He says looking down at his feet. "Of course!" You pipe up enthusiastically. "We'd be glad to have you. I'll go grab some blankets and a pillow for you."
"No babe. Let me." Dylan says heading upstairs. "I'll go call Vanessa and tell her I'm crashing here to help Dylan with his verses." Jorel says, walking into the kitchen, dialing Vanessa's number. Dylan comes back down and sets the things for Jorel on the couch. He looks a bit upset, knowing the 'alone time' you promised him was off the table. "Don't worry babe." You say, knowing what he was thinking. "We can still have us time. We'll just have to be quiet and it'll have to happen in the shower." You say grinning, causing Dylan to perk up and hug you from behind, whispering in your ear- which sent chills up your spine, but the good kind- until Jorel walks back in. "Alright. Well, I told her. She yelled at me a bit but it's too late for me to care right now. I'm gonna head up to bed. Thanks again guys. Good night." He says walking up the stairs. "Anytime!" You both say in sync with one another. Dylan grins at you, slightly growling, 'hungrily', and picks you up bridal-style and races upstairs with you in his arms, two at a time. You chuckle with your arms wrapped tightly around his neck and he kisses you. He sets you down once you enter the bedroom, shutting the door and locking it, then pressing you against it and kisses you while pinning your arms above your head until he begins to suck on your neck, then you run your hands through his hair, letting a slight moan escape your lips.
