Chapter 8 - I Love You Like Double That Now

6 MONTHS LATER

Josh's POV

Angela and I were sitting in a fancy restaurant, waiting for our meal to arrive.  It soon did and we slowly ate, and enjoyed every minute with each other.

"Hey Angela," I asked her, "I know we're young, but I really like you. A lot." I slid off the booth chair and stood on one knee. I pulled a small velvet box out of my jacket.

"Angela, would do you me the honors of becoming my wife forever and ever?"

She jumped out of her seat and into my arms, "Yes, Josh! Yes!" She started to cry tears of joy.

I stood up, gently grabbed her, and put the ring on her finger. It wasn't overly fancy, but it wasn't the simplest.

She quickly leaned in and kissed me. The kiss didn't last long, but it was a beautiful one.

I hardly noticed all the people around clapping and congratulating us. The waiter came up to us and asked if we would like a free dessert. We obviously said yes.

She sat over on my side of the booth and snuggled in close to me and kept whispering in my ear, "I love you so much, Josh! I can't believe we're married. I'm so excited and happy!" 

We were both all smiles. I couldn't believe I was finally going to marry the love of my life. I knew we were young, I was twenty and she was eighteen. But we liked each other since we were fourteen and sixteen, so I was confident we would have a lasting marriage.

"I can't believe it either, Angela. I'm so happy!" I leaned in close to her, "I remember when we were younger, when we had our first kiss. I fell in love with you so much that day." I smiled at her and looked deep into her eyes, "I love you like double that now."

Angela looked into my eyes too, "I remember that day too. It felt amazing."

I nodded, "I wanted more, like any sixteen year old boy. But I'm glad I didn't do anything then, now we can wait and do anything we want as a married couple."

Angela smiled and quickly kissed me again.
