chapter eighteen

Ryland's POV

I was sitting on the couch with a bag of chips, a diet root beer, and a blanket covering me as I watched new shows on Netflix. My job called me today saying they didn't need me, but I could come in if I'd like yet I wouldn't get paid. I took my chances, and decided staying in my pajamas were so much better than my casual work clothes.

I heard the apartment lock turn and the door opened up wide. Shane came in and slammed down a bunch of papers down on the counter and didn't even acknowledge that I was sitting on the couch. He looked pretty mad, so I let him be since it wouldn't be the greatest to make him even more mad a couple of days before our anniversary. 

It had been a couple of minutes until I finally just got up, and found Shane sitting in the office. His head was slummed down into his left hand and his other hand was on the mouse to the computer. I came up behind him, pulling his head down softly, and collided our lips together. I pulled away slowly, and smiled when Shane took his bottom lip out.

"Now, tell me why you came in all upset?" I asked, grabbing a chair and pulling it up against him. 

"My stupid boss said that he was going to do a different type of short film, and now I have to make another script for the new film." Shane ranted, showing a bit that he was annoyed. "He said that he made the decision with the team two days ago, and nobody told me shit. Along with that they want the new script by Monday so they can start producing it."

"Are you sure you can get that done?" I asked, I was concerned since Shane was one of those that has to perfect his work before turning it to someone else. "If you need to we can just spend our anniversary another day."

"That won't be necessary, I can just transfer the ideas to this script from the last script. I just have about 25 pages left to do since I did most work at the office." He responded, and then started to type away on his computer. "And, I wouldn't let work get in between our special day." 

"Well, I was going to ask you if you wanted to hang out Garrett and Mason with me today but if you're bu-" I was interrupted when Shane grabbed my cheeks and placed a kiss on my lips. He smiled softly at me, sending him one back in return.

"Work can wait."

Shane's POV

"I still can't believe you had the courage to actually ask him out." I said, slightly nudging at Garrett in the elbow as he watched his boyfriend Mason pet multiple puppies in the pet store. 

"I can't believe he's actually stayed with me this long, but he makes me happy and I love him so." Garrett grinned at me, and then he nudged at me along with then pointing at Ryland. "I think your babty over there found another lover."

I tilted my head to look as Ryland was sitting on the bench, petting this cute puppy in his hands. I made my way over to him, and Ryland handed him over to me. He was a little yellow labrador, and honestly I couldn't help but fall in love with him myself.

"We've got to get him, he's too cute and I won't take no for an answer" Ryland exclaimed, taking the puppy out of my hands and cuddling it. "Just look at him! I could cry."

I saw how Ryland's eyes lit up when the puppy would do something adorable, and I couldn't just let him down. As you can guess, we got the cute little pup. I decided to name him Uno since he was our first dog together, and it was just a nice name to suit him. Mason and Garrett were talking over a dog that Mason wanted.

And of course, Mason got what he wanted.

Ryland sent down Uno when we walked into the apartment. He ran around, smelling everything, and jumping onto anything that was in his reach. We could tell he felt at home, Ryland decided to play with Uno, as I rather then start to finish my script. I had put in my earbuds in, letting the music help me work faster.

I then heard the door push away and Uno walked in with something in his mouth. He jumped onto the couch as began to chew on it. I walked over to him, as he moved in his the other way, and put his arms beside the box in his other, guarding it away from me. 

"Come on, Uno. Take it out of your mouth, you're not suppose to be chewing on that." I said, moving his arms out the way and quickly grabbing the small black wooden box from his mouth. "Here, chew on something that's actually a toy."

I handed Uno a small elephant toy we bought him earlier, and I looked at the small box closer. I was about to open the small box when Ryland came in, his eyes feel upon the box and his eyes widened. I gave him a confused face and he stepped closer to me gradually, I stood up and Ryland jumped onto me.

"Give that back!" Ryland yelled, trying to grab the box out of my hand. "Shane! Give it!" 

I fell to the floor, while Ryland was still on top on me. The box fell to the ground and opened up, catching both of our eyes. My jaw dropped in shock and Ryland just shook his head. I smiled up at Ryland and crawled over to the box. There was a small LED light that shined upon it, making the diamond on it glisten.

"God damn it, Uno. You've been here for one hour and you've already ruined my plans." Ryland exclaimed, as he gently grabbed the box from my hands.

I stood up, and Ryland of course got onto one knee. I already knew what was happening and a big smile appeared on my lips. Ryland looked back at Uno, who was staring right at us while chewing his elephant. Ryland narrowed his eyes at him, and just scoffed at him. He looked back at me, and smiled.

"This wasn't the way I wanted to propose, but I guess this is pretty cute too." Ryland started, giggling just a bit at everything that just happened. "Shane, I love you so much. You've made me the happiest guy and I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else. I want to grow old with you, have kids, get more pets that won't try and ruin my plans, but also I want to be able to share my love with you. Shane Lee Yaw, will you make me the luckiest man on earth and marry me?"

"YES! Yes, of course!" I yelled, and Ryland took the ring out the box, slipping it onto my finger. I pulled him into a tight hug once he stood up, and we shared a passionate kiss. We pulled away slowly, and I looked back at Uno.

"I knew it was a good idea to get Uno."

"He's lucky he's cute."
