Gabe's POV
-•-
I sat down in my apartment eyeing my police uniform. I had only been a cop for a year now but the chief said I could have the next 3 days off to be with Mia.

I send little texts to her just saying how I'll pick her up tomorrow etc. I groan and leave the house so I can get all the things I planned to give her when she's here.

My first stop is none other than my sister's house. I knock on the door revealing my younger sister, Kylie. "Oh hey dude what's up?" I laugh, "She's finally coming down here and well I was wondering if you'd help me pick out some stuff for her I'm not good with all this." My sister simply nods as she hops into my car.

Le short timeskip

"So is that everything I wanna go home already?" I look down and check what I bought. "Hmm we have everything I needed you help with yeah." My sister pats my back. "Good look when she comes here's the bags." The bags in question are filled with a number of things I know for a fact Mia loves; the entire soundtrack for Hamilton, a few bags of Reese's peanut butter cups, some of her favorite foods so I can cook for her, as well as a necklace I bought for her with a picture we took together a few years back.  "Now just one more thing I need."

After some driving I see what I'm looking for, Kay Jewelers. I walk in and look around admiring everything in there. I had been saving up money since our 1 year anniversary for this moment.

The manager, a man I'm his late 40s, smiles at me and shakes my hand. We had met a few times before this while I was looking around before. "Hello officer Thompson browsing again?" I shake my head in response. "No Mr. Weston it's finally the time to buy one." He gets over excited at my response and pulls out one I've been planning on buying for quite some time.

"Here you go Mr Thompson the ring you've been wanting

"Here you go Mr Thompson the ring you've been wanting. Mia is gonna be one lucky lady to marry you Sir." I shake his hand one last time as I make the payment and he puts it into a box for me. "Thank you again Mr. Weston for holding it for me it means a lot." He hands me the box, "No it's my pleasure all I ask is for you to invite me to the wedding." I laugh, "Really that's all of course I will you didn't let anyone buy This ring for two years now it's the least I can do." We say our goodbyes as I head home.

Night time.

Now all that's left is me laying down and mentally preparing myself for tomorrow. It's not that I'm not excited I'm just nervous. Yeah we've seen each other in person but now we will be living together and I'm going to propose to her as well. What if she thinks it's to soon? What if she realizes I'm not what she really wants? I guess I can either focus on the what ifs or I can focus on being happy that she is finally going to be here with me. I try to get some rest but I can't cause of a mix of anxiety worry and our joy. Before I know it my alarm clock goes off and it's time to pick her up.

I dress in a nice button up shirt with jeans and boots. With my watch the necklace with the rings my parents gave me and her favorite cologne. "Well time to go.... God I hope she doesn't change her mind about me now." I had always been paranoid a number of failed relationships ensured that. I had never been considered "Attractive" an I was constantly cheated on for this very reason. When we met Mia had never had a boyfriend before and when she said she loved me I was skeptical. But so far she's proven my doubts wrong.

I arrive at the airport and see her standing there. I run over to her with a hug. "Miaaaaaaa!" I twirl her around and give her a small kiss. There are a number of "Aww's," from people surrounding us as I hold her close.

She snuggled into me and smiled. "Happy to see me baby?" I give her the nahhhh look. "Duh I'm happy to see you we are finally living together baby oh I'm just so happy." She giggled lightly at that comment. "Well I'm happy too boo bear but can you get my bags?", I groan and pick then up bringing her to my car. "Okay I have a surprise when we get home okay let's go."

Well that's all for now the next chapter will be collaboration between the both of us and will feature POV changes hope y'all enjoy the chapter they will get longer I promise.

Love, Gabriel S. Thompson
