Sunkissed Serendipity

Chapter 61

Julian

"So, babe, I have a proposal for you," Isla says to me when she comes over to my house. She was taking my hand in hers, grinning at me wildly as she looked at me. I cannot help but grin at her and follow it up with a kiss on her cheek. She giggles, pulling away and then saying, "You listening?"

I hum, fighting the urge to kiss her again and say, "Something about a proposal, right?"

She nods, "Right." As her words finally hit me, I stood up straighter, a smirk on my lips as my thoughts finally swung together. "A proposal," I ask with a hint of amusement in my eyes. "Are you planning on marrying me, Nova?"

She shrieks, shaking her head, but I can see her entire face flush at my words of teasing. Swallowing a little, she says, "Hmm, not yet."

I move my stray hand down to her waist, edging closer to her hip as I pull her close to me. I duck my chin, giving her a look as I ask, "Why not?"

She looks at me genuinely confused. "Because we are only seventeen, Julian?"

I laugh, moving my head down to her neck and placing a kiss there. She squirms under the touch of my lips on the soft skin of her neck. Moving away from me, she shakes her head. "You're crazy!"

"I'm joking," I say with a laugh. As I simmer down and her face cools down from the bright red, I say, "Okay. What do you propose?"

She nods, an excited smile making its way onto her face as she says, "Let's go on a trip."

I sit on the edge of the couch, crossing my hands across my chest as I raise an eyebrow. She shakes her head, knowing that she needs to elaborate further, and goes on to explain. "No, not that kind of trip," she shas and then shrugs. "but kind of like a trip."

I still keep my eyebrow raised, but I give a smile now. "So what are you talking about?"

"A day tip," she says as a way of explanation. "We can go down to the next town over, see a few places, and then come back."

"And all of this is going to be done in a day?" I ask, and that causes her to think for a little bit. She places a finger on her lip, and a second later she says, "Maybe an overnight trip?"

I nod and then say, "Okay. I assume we will be driving, yeah?"

"Yeah," she shas and then tilts her head. "Unless you want to take the train?"

"Eh," I say, getting off the couch. "We can take my car."

She beams up at me, moving her hand around my waist as she pulls me close to her. "That's great".

"It is," I say, and I press a kiss on her mouth. Then, with a smirk, my mouth still hovering over hers, I say, "You'll have to go and ask my mom, though." She shrieks, growing shy and pulling away from me. She looks up at me in offense at my statement, but I only give her a shrug. Running my hand through my hair, I say, "You'll have to ask if you want to take her son out for an entire day."

"Aw shit," she says, muttering the curse. I laugh, placing a hand on hers, and say, "Yeah." I walk over to the kitchen, and she shouts, "Where are you going?"

I look behind my shoulder, giving her a giant grin as I say, "Make sure my mom is home so you can propose that idea to her as well." She gapes at me, her chin slacking a tiny bit. I only give her a larger grin and turn back around. I was having too much fun with this. My girlfriend was cool with my mom, but I knew it would be awesome to watch as she proposed the idea to her as well. I could do it, but seeing as how that wasn't nearly as fun, I'm making her do it. Definitely going to earn boyfriend points for that one.
