Previously-
He got up and pulled me outside near the lake. I sat on the bench and he kneeled in front of me. He took my hands in his and looked me in the eye. His eyes were so blue, they mesmerized me. He said "Grace Soman, I've known you for 3 years. You make me a better person and I am grateful to have you in my life. Will you marry me?"
I nodded then squeaked out a "yes" and he got up and sat on the bench next to me. I kissed his cheek then rested my head on his chest. We sat there for a few minutes just looking at the lake.
Will held my hand and I looked up. He said "time to meet the in-laws." O, how wonderful I thought. I groaned and he laughed. He said "at least they already like me. So there's no need to worry about that." I said "ya, lets go. There probably worried because I'm not back by now." He said "we can go to your house first but then I need to tell my mom and I was hoping that you would come too." I replied "wouldn't miss it for the world."
We got in our cars and left to my house.
When we got home it was about 10:00. I made a sandwich and split it with Will. He practically ate the whole thing in one bite. Then we went to talk to my parents. When we walked in the living room Mrs. Soman said "good afternoon you two. What brings you by Will?"
Will smiled, grabbed my hand and said "we have something serious we need to discuss. Now, I know I did this out of order but I don't want to take back what I said and I don't want to lessen Graces choice in the matter. So, instead of asking for Grace's hand in marriage, I'm asking for your blessing."
They both gasp than flung themselves at us. It was one big group hug.
Mr. Soman said "lets all go out to dinner tonight. Will, you should invite your mother and do you two want Henry to come"
I looked over at Will with a strained face. I so didn't want to be the one to tell Henry. He'd flip and go all OMG on me. Will saw me stressing and squeezed my hand he was holding. His strong, yet soft hand felt like it was created to hold mine. I always melted when I looked in his eyes but I couldn't help it. In a daze I said "yyyou said you wanted to go tell your mom." He smiled and said "do you want to go now or in an hour or so." I said "now" and then we left after a few last hugs and congratulations.
When we arrived at Will's house Clare and Max were fighting, Sarah was dancing, and john was playing a videogame. Max was 4 and John was 15. They were his younger brothers. Clare was 5 and Sarah was 7. They were his sisters.
Mrs. Saunders greeted us and then Will said "mom, I'd like you to meet Grace..." She cut in and said "Will, are you feeling alright. I've known Grace for 2 years." She came over and felt his forehead. Will laughed and said "mom, let me finish. I'd like you to meet Grace, my fiancée."
She smiled and said "I knew you two would always end up together." I blushed and so did Will. Ahhh, he was so cute. He mumbled "mom"
She hugged me and then Will. I asked "The Soman's are going out to dinner with us and we were wondering if you would come." "When and where hunny" she said with a Smile.
That's what I love about her. She treats everyone like family and she is a really good person.
I said "five o'clock at the Tramonto."
She agreed and said she would get John to watch the kids. We stayed and talked for about an hour then will got his good suit and we went back to my house. We dropped his suit off in my room and then I collapsed on my bed head first. Will came over and started rubbing my back. It felt REALLY good. he rubbed for a few more minutes and than I rolled over.
He was looking at me and I couldn't help it, I was staring at his eyes. I always melt. He slowly leaned down and pressed his warm, soft, wet lips to my forehead. My eyes closed and I put my hand on the back of his head to hold them there a little longer. Slowly he pulled away and said "time to tell Henry and then go to dinner."
