Chapter 20:M.I.A. ...History Repeats

Chapter 20

Did he just...d...did Ryder just ask me to m-marry him?

"Ryder.." I started. He looked down, nervously, and when I didn't reply he began to stand up. "Ryder... you don't know how long I've waited for this moment, but I at least thought I'd be older" I whispered. By that time, he was fully up. I stood up, and lightly placed my hand on his cheek. He continued to look down. "But that doesn't mean I'm not ready... Ryder I love you... of course I'll marry you" I whispered as tears began to well up in my eyes. His eyes shot to mine, and he gave me a heart warming smile.

"Really" he asked in amusement. I smiled.

"Really" I answered. He smiled widely, and got back down on his knee. His opened the box revealing the diamond ring. He took the ring out, and slipped it onto my ring finger. I giggled at how excited he looked. His eyes twinkled as he looked up at me. Standing up, he cupped my face with his hands. I was pulled into a slow, romantic kiss that made my heart flutter. When he pulled back, he stared into my eyes.

"I love you Saige" he whispered, pecking me on the lips again.

He carried me bridal style out of the car, and ran up to the front door, unlocking it. Pushing the door open, he spun around, and locked it. "Where are we going" I giggled. His eyes locked with mine, and he smiled.

"To celebrate"

"Celebrate what" a voice came from in front of us. The lights turned on, and Liam stood there, eyeing us skeptically.

"Do you want to tell him the news" I mumbled, looking up at Ryder. He looked down at me, then looked back up at Liam... his features began to harden.

"We were just celebrating the fact that she's okay now" Ryder answered. I sent his a questioning look. Ryder placed me down on my feet. "Saige, go upstairs" he whispered in my ear. I looked up at him. He sent me a stern look. Sighing, I walked towards the stairs. As I walked by Liam, he pulled me towards him, wrapping his arms around my waist. My back pressed to him. I felt his cool breath on my neck. Moist lips were placed on my neck, and I tensed up. He kissed all the way up to my ear. Ryder lowly growled.

"I'll make you mine one day" he whispered in my ear. His gripped loosened and I quickly pulled away from him, running up the stairs. I ran all the way to my room and closed the door. I turned on my lamp, and jumped. Kade sat in a chair next to my bed, a bouquet of flowers was placed in my hand. They lay lazily off the side of the chair, as his arm hung over it. He was sleep, which made me wonder how long he had been here.

"Kade" I questioned, stepping closer to him. His eyes fluttered open, and he looked at me in confusion. Realization seemed to cross his face. He slowly stood up and walked towards me. Stopping inches infront of me, he pulled the bouquet of flowers from behind him back.

"These are for you" he smiled. I smiled, and took the flowers, placing them on my nightstand.

"What's this all about" I asked in amusement.

"I just came by to see if you were okay... but it seems like you are... what's the special occasion" he asked smirking as he looked me up and down. Oh my gosh... I grabbed Kade's hand, and pulled him towards the bed. We sat down on the edge. I looked down nervously. "Look before you tell me the bad news, I need to tell you something" my eyes shot to him. He looked around nervously. "Saige I lo.." I cut him off.

"Please don't say it" I said looking down. My eyes began to glaze over.

 "Saige what's w..." he stopped in mid sentence. I looked at him, and saw him staring at my hand. I followed his gaze, and my eyes met the diamond ring. "So who is he" he muttered. My eyes shot to him. He glared at the ground.
