I woke up for the day only to find that the weather man was actually right, for once. It was absolutely pouring outside. I rolled over and found Mitchell asleep and I ran my fingers through his beautiful blonde hair, fingertips trailing his face. His eyes slowly fluttered open and he reached over and placed a kiss on my hand. "Good morning, beautiful. It appears we are being rained in. Is that even a thing?" He muttered sleepily and I smiled. "It appears so. If being rained in isn't a thing, it is now. Is practice cancelled?" I asked and he shrugged. "Not sure. I'll call coach and if he doesn't answer then I'll call Connor. Be right back." He kissed me on the head and unplugged his phone, grabbing it off of the nightstand and walking into the bathroom to call Coach Mantha. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand by my side of the bed and clicked on Twitter, starting to scroll through my timeline and looking at things people had tweeted me. I saw something that said something about Mitchell Stephens' girlfriend and so I clicked on it. @baileymarieee
"Did anyone else know that Mitchell Stephens and his girlfriend have been dating since they were in the 6th grade? Man, if he doesn't propose soon, he's an idiot."
I was slightly conflicted about how I felt about that one. Me and Mitch have been dating for the past 8 years, actually it was just our 8 year anniversary a month or so ago. We were both young, and Mitchell had his whole life ahead of him with his hockey career. I was semi planned out, I knew I wanted to be a home decorator/designer. I decided to search for "Mitchell Stephens girlfriend" and see what other people thought about me. I typed it in and prepared myself for what people might have to say about me.

"Mitchell Stephens girlfriend must be a real handful if they've been dating for 8 years and he still hasn't proposed."
Maybe I was a handful. Or maybe I was overreacting. But, I kept reading anyway. @futuremrsstephens27
"Ihope Mitchell realizes I'm the real deal and that chick is just a basket case."
That one got me. I turned off my phone and walked into the bathroom, rubbing my fingers along the once deep cuts that were on my wrist. I was determined to do it, despite the promise I had made with Mitch 5 years ago when he found out I was hurting myself. I was walking into the bathroom when I collided with Mitch. "Are you crying?" He asked. I bursted into tears, wrapping my small body around his much larger one. "Your fans are right, I am a basket case." I whimpered and he rubbed my back, trying to calm me down. "Why were you going into the bathroom? Were you about to; please don't tell me you were about to do what I think you are." I shook my head and stood on my tiptoes to bury my head in his shoulder. "Baby girl, please don't even think about it." He said and I cried harder. "I haven't thought that way in years. I guess they finally got to me." I chuckled through my tears. "Please don't let their nasty words control your thoughts. Their ignorant, and that's what drives jealousy. And the jealousy drives fear and the fear drives hate and it's a whole vicious cycle so please, do not get into it." He said and I nodded, placing a kiss on his lips. "I love you." He said and I nodded. "I know. I love you more." He shook his head and kissed my hair. "How about I go fill up a bath for you? We can take a nice hot bath together and then I'll make lunch. It's already almost 12 and I don't have practice because of the wet roads." He proposed and I nodded grinning. He released me from his hold and walked into the bathroom to start the bath. I laid down for a bit and about 10 minutes later he came in, shaking me awake. "I fell asleep?" I asked and he nodded, smiling. "It's okay babe. Let's go get in." He said holding out a hand for me and I grabbed it, walking in. He helped me get undressed and then we got into the bath, him sitting down first and me sitting on his lap in the bath, laying my head back on his shoulder, letting out a sigh of content. "This is nice." I said and he nodded in agreement. It was quiet for a bit but Mitch broke the silence. "Marry me." He said and my eyes widened, turning around to face him, wrapping my legs around his waist. "The rings in my pants, I'll go get it, but just marry me, please." He said and I nodded, grinning. "Yes." was all I said, and all I could really get it before the both of us starting crying. "We're gonna spend the rest of our lives together, and it's gonna be the best life anyone could ever ask for."these are made up tweets/ usernames! these tweets (hopefully) do not exist and these twitters are purely made up :) to be honest, when this was requested I had heard of him and I googled him and I'm seriously in love. like wow he's beautiful. also I'm terribly sorry about being so MIA over break, I was really busy and didn't have much time to write!
