When I was six, my greatest dream was to have a house full of puppies. Now I am 24 and my greatest dream is to have at least 4 puppies, come on lets get realistic. My love for puppies is something Julian has come to terms with or maybe not.
"Julian can I have this cute little one? please"
I asked him pointing at the Cocker Spaniel. Just one look at her big round eyes and black mushy coat and I was a goner.
"Yeah. Okay. Just pick her up and get her here."
Okay that was strange. Julian never allows me take home any puppies from the puppy shelter. He is allergic to dog hair. Once he starts sneezing it only stops in the doctor's clinic.I lifted her carefully and started walking towards the direction where the shelter volunteer and Julian were standing.The twinkle in his eyes told me that he was up to something and it was left to me to figure out.
"Julian are you really letting me take her home?"
"Hmm maybe. I think first you should look at that tag around her neck"
"What?" I looked down at the now sleeping puppy and noticed a red ribbon around her neck with a tag hooked on it. The tag was actually a small card. How could have I not noticed the tag before. I opened the card and recognised the calligraphic handwriting.
"Marry me"
Before I could look at him to know if he really meant what it said he knelt down in front of me and looked me in the eye.
"I had promised myself to never again let myself fall in love. I had promised myself to never again trust anyone. I had promised myself to never again let anyone's sorrow or happiness affect me. Meeting you changed everything, all the promises I made to myself didn't seem to matter, all I want now is a happily ever after with you. So Abigial Willow Parker will you be my dictionary and add meaning to my life?" he winked at me and took a blue velvet box out of his jeans pocket and held it in front me.
"Marry me Abby"All the emotions I felt left me so confused that I was crying and smiling at the same time. I must be looking like a complete idiot right now. All I could do is nod my head and voice out a weak Yes.He slid the ring onto my left ring finger and got back on his feet.
"You make me so happy Abby" with that he kissed me with all the passion he felt. I kissed him back with equal passion to let him know how he made me feel. My hand found its way round his neck and the kiss became more hot and urgent.
The clearing of throat is an age old way of letting couples know it was time to get their hands off each other. We let go each other and pretended to look normal.I looked at the volunteer who now was holding the little puppy in her hand. When did she take that puppy from my hands? My eyes drafted towards the red ribbon and I could not stop myself from smiling like a lunatic. How did he know that I would pick this puppy? then I looked around the room and saw all the puppies had a red ribbon around their neck. Aww sweet!Julian is a perfect 10 on the 'best boyfriend in the world' scale.
"Abby there is one more thing I need to tell you."
"and that is?"
"I.." achoo "love.." achoo "you"
