Chapter One Marry Me?

PAT'S POV

I walk downstairs after getting my jersey on and see dad watching the commercials before the first game of the year. Mom is making crab snacks as always and Ronnie is listening as she is telling the ingredients.

"Where's Tiffany?" Dad looks up. "She must be coming Pat, don't worry she promised she would come over." The doorbell rings and I walk over and open it to see Tiffany's parents and her in the middle, with her dark hair in her messy bun.

"Mr. And Mrs. Maxwell! Thanks for coming over, and with food!" They laugh and I usher them in. Tiffany has her arms crossed over her chest and looks up at me.

"Do you still want to watch the game?" I ask looking into her green eyes and she huffs. "I'll watch it because I like you Pat, I wouldn't do this for anyone else but you." I kiss her lips and she grins.

We walk in and dad looks over at her. "Tiffany! Why aren't you in a jersey?" "I don't own one, I hate football."

I hand her a bag with her name on it. "What's this?" She asks and I grin. "Open it." She does and pulls out a Eagles Jersey that says Tiffany on the back. "Oh you guys really shouldn't have." She says and I take off her coat. "Put it on Tiffany!" She does and everyone grins.

"Oh Pat it fits her perfectly!" Mom said and dad nods. "You look great Tiffany! You should go tail gating." She fake laughs, looking uncomfortable in it. "In your dreams." During the game Tiffany sits in my lap, drinking a beer.

It's down to five seconds, were tied with Tampa Bay and they are about to kick off. My father watches with his hands in fists and then they kick off and miss the field goal, making the Eagles run it all the way back to get the touchdown.

Tiffany jumps off me and so do I with dad and everyone else screaming our heads off. I kiss her lips and then pull out the engagement ring I bought her. "Tiffany?" She looks down at it and swallows.

Everybody looks over and gasps. I get down on one knee. "Tiffany... Will you marry me?" "I-I can't Pat, I'm sorry." She gets up and goes to run but I grab her arm. "Tiffany!" "Get the fuck off me!" Then she runs out of the house.

I get up from my knee with dad patting my back. "Oh Pat." Mom says and hugs me. After a few hours I grab my jacket and jog over to her addition and knock on the door. She doesn't answer.

"Tiffany it's Pat! I just want to talk!" "Fuck off Pat!" I silently open her door and walk upstairs. I hear soft sobs coming from behind the door and I open it and find her in her bed, her hands covering her face, trembling.

I get into the bed with her. "Hey, what's wrong Tiff?" "I can't marry you." "Why?" "B-because something's going to happen to you, or to us and we are going to loose each other." I swallow and look into her eyes.

"I promise that won't happen, I swear it won't." She sits up. "You're a fucking liar!" Then throws a pillow at me. "Tiffany I'm not lying!" She keeps throwing pillows.

"You are too! You dumb fucker! I hate you-" I grab her wrists and pin her down. "Stop it!!!!!!" I scream and look down at her with tears rolling down my cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I really am sorry Tiffany! If I could go back and stop that fucking car from hitting Tommy, I would! I wouldn't do it because of this argument, it's because I do love you! I love you to death Tiffany! And if you can't believe that then, I haven't gotten better... I've gotten worse."

I burst into tears and rest my head on her chest. I can feel her rolling her eyes as I cry like a baby. "Pat... Pat stop, it's okay." She says, awkwardly patting my back.

"I'm sorry Tiffany!" I cry and she slaps me in the back of the head. "Shut the fuck up Pat!" I look up and tears are rolling down her cheeks. She puts her hands on my cheekbones and brushes my tears away.

"Pat... Why I didn't want to get married is because, I think I'll fuck it up, like last time. You're going to get bored because I don't want kids right away and I don't like having sex all the time, I'm not a criminal for it. I know what men crave and they want a family and sex, I can't do that yet... I still need to fucking do things. I don't want a kid yet... Sure maybe in the future but not yet."

"I don't want kids yet either Tiffany and, I don't want sex from you... I just want to be with you, okay?" She swallows and I brush the tears from her eyes, still straddling her. "Will you marry me Tiffany Maxwell?" She swallows again and nods. "Okay."
