How overwhelming my life has become in a matter of three months.
I continued to go to school and am due to finish and be free at last!
Johnny had no projects lined up so we were free to what we wanted until anything else popped up.
We decided we really wanted to go backpacking or just travelling in general. After my surgery of course, then I didn't have to talk to my mother or even see my father. I just wanted to know it was going to a good course and I was helping someone, whether I loved them, cared for them, or knew them.
I felt heartless thinking these things, but in a sense it was karma, a very small sense. Maybe it was a bit one sided, but I didn't mind.
I was going to move on with my life and I was finally going to do what made me happy. Something I vowed to do since I moved here. And something that I hadn't been doing at all recently.
Coming back from a walk on beach, I tried to stay calm and steady the thoughts whizzing through my mind.
I skipped to the bedroom and put on some high waisted jeans on and a plain t-shirt on. In walked in Johnny.
"Good, you're ready. Come on let's go" he said taking my hand and leading me to the car.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"It's a surprise, silly." He chuckled. We drove along the road and I was thinking deeply about where we could be going...?
"Oh, it might be better if you close your eyes." He said.
Please don't be a murderer. Please don't be a murderer.
"Are you taking me to your secret man cave?" That earned a few laughs from Johnny and a smile from me, the satisfaction of making him happy. Best feeling ever.
"Not quite but you'll enjoy it."
" I'm trusting you on his one."
"You can always trust me, babe."
I giggled at the little nickname
After a few minutes of driving, came to a stop.
"Can I open my eyes now."
"Not yet." He lead me out the car and I stood up in my doc martens.
"Okay, now open."
I opened my eyes to see I was standing outside the sushi restaurant we had our first kind of "date"
"Aw Johnny this is cute. Can we go in, I'm starving." I practically dragged him but my eyes widened when i saw there was only one table set up with candles and the whole room seemed to be dimly lit.
"Good evening, may I take your coats?" The waiter said to us both.
" certainly" said Johnny as he took my coat off my shoulders.
"Please, do sit." The waiter said. Johnny walked round and pulled out my chair for me.
"Such the gentleman." I whispered to him.
He grinned to himself as he sat down and read from the menu.
"Anything to drink?"
"We'll have a bottle of plum wine please, your finest." He smirked towards me, basically reading my mind. I nodded and as I did so I listened to the music being played in the room. The stones, the who, jimi Hendrix, the stooges . All of my favourite music. Now this creeped me out, he was reading my mind. They had to be something going on, but I couldn't think of anything. Like a brain freeze!
After around ten minutes or so our sushi along with our wine, and I was getting well into it. I hadn't eaten since lunch this was a great struggle. But after a while I decided to go slow because I looked like a pig in front of Johnny. After I had finished, I was stuffed and was about open my pant button but Johnny said,
"I need to tell you something." Could this be bad? I don't even know, he's probably moving away or working away!
"Now you know I love you and I know you will always be here for me." Oh my god
"And I trust you" is he gay, oh god they're always gay. The hot ones either have girlfriends or are gay.
"And I know we've only been together, close to five months but.."
"I just don't want you to be my girlfriend anymore." WHAT.
"I want you to be my wife." YAY. forgiven, slightly?
" Will you be my wife." Think think think
"Please?"
"Uh, duh." I laughed and he pulled out he most beautiful ring I'd ever seen. He reached for my hand I placed the ring on my finger and it fit perfectly..
