Love & Secrets (Hartbig)

Ch. 14 Will you?

Grace never thought in her life she would be in this position. She never thought that she would be doing what she was about to do. She wasn't very romantic and she didn't like romantic gestures but here she was running racing home to bet Hannah so she could have at least five minutes to get ready. Grace was able to get back to the house before Hannah, she was relieved.

Grace ran inside put on a fresh coat of lip gloss, ran her fingers through her hair, and grabbed the box sitting on the table. She waited for her love to walk through the door.

A couple minutes later Grace saw Hannah's headlights in the driveway and the sound of footsteps up to the front door. As the door knob turned Grace took a deep breath to try to relax as she got into position.

Hannah opened the door to see the room light with a hundred candles. Grace knelled before her on one knee with a smile on her face. Hannah's breath was taken away she didn't know what to say but she didn't have to.

"Before you say a word it's not one hundred percent what it looks like but it is a promise. I am not asking you to marry me because I don't know if that's me but I did want to make a promise to you. A promise that I will love you forever. A promise that I will never leave you no matter what happens. I am here before you knelling with a promise ring a ring to symbolize that I will never hurt you or leave your side. So I do have a question for you, do you promise to take me as your forever girlfriend and grow old with me." Grace took a breath waiting for Hannah's response.

Hannah stood there while Grace talked trying not to cry, it was weird Grace choose this day but it made sense in a way. It was the day Grace was supposed to get married on and it was the day her ex had an engagement party. She was glad she could remember this about this day then the other events that were surround on this October day. Hannah stared at the ring in-front of her it was simply, two silver bands branded around each other. it was appropriate for Hannah. Hannah grabbed the ring from Graces hand put on her finger and just stared at it. She was smiling ear from ear. Grace stood and asked "So it that a yes?"

"Yes of course I do you tall giraffe I accept your promise." Hannah grabbed Graces lower back and pulled her in for a kiss. Graces hand grabbed a chunk of Hannah's hair pulling her closer. In this moment they couldn't get enough of each other. Grace threw off her shoes as she started unbuttoning Hannah's vest. Hannah reached to start unzipping Grace's dress. As they started backing up into Grace's bedroom their was a trail of clothes following behind them. Grace spun Hannah around as she threw her on the bed. Hannah responded by wrapping her legs around Graces thighs causing her to stumble and fall on top of her.
It was one of those nights they would never forget. They stayed up most of night kissing each other, talking, and then making out some more. It was one of those moments that they wanted to last forever. They fell asleep in each other arms. Five hours later it was 8:00am and the alarm was going off.

Grace reached around and turned the alarm off. She hopped it didn't wake Hannah she knew she needed her rest. As Grace laid there her right arm under Hannah and her left arm wrapped around her she felt Hannah start to move. With a slight groan Hannah looked up at Grace who was staring at her.

"Good morning beautiful, how did you sleep last night?"

With what sounded more of an animal call then actual words coming out of Hannah. Grace let out a laugh and reached down and gave Hannah a kiss. The two of them stayed wrapped in each others arms for a few mintues. Wishing they could stay in bed forever Hannah tried crawling out of bed. This caused Grace to grab her making her fall on top of her. While they laughed and made out holding each other as if they were the only two people in the world there was a knock on the door.

They looked at each other suprised, why would someone be at the door this early on a Sunday.

"Who is that?" Grace asked.

"I don't know but i will find out. You stay here and don't move a muscle i want you in this same position when i come back." Hannah stated as she pulled a sweater over her head and walked towards the door.
She stood in the door and stared at the unwelcomed guest.
"You might have to move, it's your drunk ex visiting."
