In Love With My Best Friend

Chapter 84

"Ross...I love you. But I'm not sure if I can marry you." I said. "But, why not? We're capable of get married now. Are you sure you still love me?" He asked.

He has the absolute right to ask me that question. "I do, more than ever..." I answered. "Then why are you being like this? If you love me...why'd you say no?" He sounded quite serious and confused . "Because ...." I sighed. "For some reason why.." I paused for a quick second. "I remembered when I thought you cheated on me. And I just hope that what you explained to me it's the truth." I confessed.
He looked at me for a few seconds, there was no expression on his face but his eyes. His eyes looked like if they couldn't believe what I was saying.

Maybe I messed up. What the hell is wrong with me?

"(Y/n). It is the truth." Ross made emphasis on the word "is". "Are you still doubting about me?" He sounded offended. "I'm..I'm not sure." I said.
My stomach twisted, I felt like the worst person ever.
"Baby, you have to believe me." Once again, he took both of my hands on his. "You have to, because I love you so much that I would never do something like that. But truth is...it breaks my heart that you still think that I cheated on you." He confessed.
I was about to burst out in tears. I couldn't believe myself. I mean, why did I even think about this few moments ago!? If I didn't, Ross would just be my fiancé already.

"I'm truly sorry, Ross, I -" he didn't let me finish talking because he shut me up with a soft kiss. I kissed him back the same way. We separated our lips. Once we did that, I noticed he was taking something out of one of his pockets from his jacket. But I couldn't see what it was. "Babe...don't worry. I'm okay, you're okay. I love you. So, I'll ask you again. If you say yes, I'll be the happiest man alive. If you say no...I respect your decision."
That is one of the reasons why I love him so much. "(Y/n), will you do me the honor of turning into my future, perfect...wife?" Once he finished that sentence, he showed me a little jewelry black box, opened it and there was a beautiful promise ring.
I love him, and he was right, he loves me. He's been asking me the same question since I was seventeen years old. After four years...he's still asking me this question, hoping to get from me the right answer. He never gave up on his love for me, I never did either on my love for him.
I know what I want, I know what I need...I know what we both need.
So without hesitating, I answered a, "Yes... I'll do you the honor of turning into your future wife." I smiled. His smile was full of joy. He took the promise ring out of the jewelry box, took my left hand with his hands and placed the ring on my promise-ring finger. (I'm not sure if that's what it's called but anyway.) I kissed him. He kissed me back.
This kiss was to show him all my love for him. "You forgot the words 'beautiful' and 'perfect' when you said you would do me the honor of turning into my future wife." He said. I smiled. "I love you." I said. "I love you, too." He smiled.
