I want you & no one else.
I want you for myself.
I want you & nothing else will do.
No one acting confused, I've got nothing to lose.
I want you & If I can't have you....
THEN NO ONE WILL.
Nick said he wanted to get married tomorrow & my brain shut down. I couldn't think straight, because I wasn't sure if he had really said it. I couldn't even speak for a moment as Nick watched me, his face expressing some hope. "What did you say?" I asked, after a moment, of silence.
"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said it like that." Nick cleared his throat & got down on one knee, holding my hands in his.
"Oh God... what are you doing?" I asked, my voice shaking from the impending tears that I knew were coming.
Nick looked up at me with an expression of such love & seriousness, that my heart swelled. "Something I should have done three years ago. Demi, I knew six years ago. I knew the day you jumped up, out of that stadium seat, after I spilled a beer all over your lap, that you were the girl of my dreams. The moment you smiled at me, that day, I felt like my world suddenly made sense. I fell in love with you, in that moment & I kept falling in love with you, every day after that. Even when you broke my heart & I moved on, I still kept loving you. Tomorrow, it will be six years since you made me so happy by saying you wanted to be with me & only me & I can't think of a better day for us to get married. Demi, will you marry me?"
Tears were in my eyes & a huge lump was in the back of my throat, so I couldn't speak or see. I let out a nervous chuckle & blinked a few times, so the tears would roll down my cheeks. Since I wasn't replying fast enough, Nick spoke again, but his voice was shaking from nerves. "I know you didn't want to rush things & that is exactly what you probably think I'm doing, by asking you to marry me... but I feel like the universe is pushing us together & then yesterday, we went right back to the way we used to be. There wasn't an awkwardness between us. We laughed like we used to. We were affectionate like we used to be. We had that connection & it was like the last three years never happened. That's why I'm down on my knee, proposing." Nick let a nervous chuckle come out & I knew I had to let him off the hook. He was afraid I was going to say no. "I know you're scared...." Nick started to say & I shook my head, quickly, to cut him off.
"No, I'm not scared." I choked out. "I'm shocked, but I'm not scared." I let out a nervous laugh. "I'm saying yes. I want to marry you, tomorrow."
Nick jumped up, & grabbed me in his arms & started spinning us around.

"You really want to get married? Tomorrow?" He asked after he put me down. The lump, in my throat, was even bigger now, so I couldn't say anything, for a moment. I nodded, quickly & Nick placed his lips on mine for a sweet kiss. "You don't care if we don't have a big wedding?"
"I never dreamed about a big wedding, like all the other girls. When I dreamed about my husband, I dreamed about our future & the marriage that we'd have. I used to dream about being married to you & I dreamed about having a family..." My voice trailed off & Nick put his hands on my jaw.
