Disastrous Fate-Sweenett.

Chapter 7

Nellie was wiping a plate when he asked her that question. The question she desperately wanted him to ask.

She dropped the plate on the sink, almost breaking it. She finished the dishes and placed her hands on the tip of the sink, leaning on it and looked down at her hands.

" What did you just ask me? " she asked.

" Will you marry me? " Sweeney asked as he sat there and staring at her. This time she turned her head and placed her hands on her sides.

" Why'd you ask me that question, Sweeney? " she said, looking straight into his eyes.

" Because I want to. " he said and Nellie wrinkled her eyebrows.

The man she loved asked her to marry him because he wanted to. Was this it? Are her dreams coming true?!

Wait. Wait. Calm down, Nellie, she thought. He probably doesn't love me. He just wants to marry her to help him forgetting about the past. Yes, that's it. But she also wants to. So badly.

" Yeah. I... guess.. so. " she said when she shrugged.

" Good. It'll be two weeks from now. " he said fastly when he stood up and went to his shop in a rush, leaving Mrs. Lovett in shock.

Both haven't talk for two days. None of them were visiting each other's shops.

One afternoon, Mrs. Lovett went to his shop to talk to him about the proposal.

She entered only to find Sweeney staring down the busy streets of London. His arm were raised and leaning in the wall. Nellie can only see his back.

"Mr. T? " she asked when closing the door behind her. " Why? "

" What? " he asked without a tone in his voice. " Why'd you ask me to marry you? " she asked when she dropped her arms on her side.

" I already told you. Because I want to. " he said still not turning around. "Oh Sweeney. " she walked towards until her chest was pressed on his back.

" Have you ever heard of marriage vows? " she asked, trying to find his eyes but failed to catch them.

Of course he have heard of marriage vows. He was married to Lucy but that was 15 years ago and that wasn't Sweeney Todd.

That was Benjamin Barker, again. He didn't answer. He just continued staring down to Fleet Street.

" To have and to hold. In sickness and in health. Till death do you part? Are you really willing to do that? " Nellie asked.

Sweeney just lowered his gaze down to the ground. Knowing this as a no, Nellie said, " I thought so. " she began to walk backward and head for the door until Sweeney spoke.

" Nellie. Please. " he begged and turned around. Nellie was frozen. She turned her head and saw Sweeney looking at her.

" I'm not saying a No. And I'm not saying a Yes either. Let me think about it. " And with that, she left the shop.

...

Mrs. Lovett was sitting on a couch by the fire. She was thinking about what she should say. Of course, she wanted to marry him, so badly.

But. Marriage. It's a really big thing. She desperately wanted to marry him. A tiny part of her was saying no and the rest was a yes.

Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted when the door opened. She turned to see who it was. Well, who else would it be. It was Sweeney Todd.

" Sweeney? What do you want? " she asked when he stepped forward.

" To marry you. " he said and began to step closer until he was in front of her. Nellie almost burst into tears of happiness, especially when he knelt down and took something from his pocket.

She covered her mouth with both hands to protect from crying. He opened a tiny velvet box which revealed a beautiful ring.

" Eleanor Lovett, " he began. " Will you marry me? " he asked. Finally, Nellie began to cry out of happiness. " Yes. " she said when she removed her hands to reveal a river of tears on her face.

" yes. yes. yes! "she said and hugged him tightly. Sweeney hugged her back. Nellie pulled away slowly with her hands still on his neck and Sweeney's on her waist. They both looked into each other's eyes.

When she noticed they were staring, Nellie pulled away from him.

" Sorry. " she said embarassed when she looked down and pulled a strand of hair from her face and placed it behind her ear. Sweeney just smiled and took her hand.

He put the piece of silver through her ringman finger. " It's beautiful. " Nellie said with a smile. Sweeney looked at her in the most sweetest way. He then kissed her hand with a smile.

" You'll be mine in a week. "
