[C] In Your Arms

thanksgiving

Man, it was a very exhausting week. One story after another. One location after another. I'm so tired. I decided to go back to my office, just lock the door and put a note saying Do not disturb.

I was sleeping throughout the day when I heard knocks on the door.

"Oh, she's sleeping. Better ask her later."

I overheard someone say that while half asleep. I knew it was Anderson. I closed my eyes again.

After a few hours, someone knocked on the door again.

"I'm going in."

Anderson opens the door with a basket in hand.

"Let's go shopping?"

"For what?"

"Thanksgiving."

"I already have someone to visit that day. Wanna come with me?"

He nods in agreement. We both went to the grocery store and bought ingredients for Thanksgiving.

The next day, he was there beside me, dozing off in silence. I was packing our things for our annual Thanksgiving family gathering. That's because I spend Christmas at work, mostly for duty work. Also, I have a ton of paperwork to go with, so it'll be a crazy Christmas. Though I won't mind skating with Anderson. I'm kinda good at it.

And so, a few days before we went to Montana, we decided to just go out and enjoy each other's company. Little did I know that there was something in store for me.

"Ainsley Smith. From the start I knew you were the one for me, my one and only forever. Through thick and thin, you have been there for me, as I have been for you. It has been a few months since I fell in love with you, and now the time has come for me to say this. Ainsley, will you be my girlfriend?"
