Fall

"You wanna go there! Really?!" Pidge shouted.

"Yeah come at me!" Keith yells back.

"Fine! Which one of us folds the clothing? Me! Which one of us puts it away? Me! Which one of us answers the door for the pizzas? ME! I am asking you to fold a blanket before you go to bed! I don't understand why you can't do that!" She yells.

"Katie I said I will do it in the morning! I don't understand why you can't accept that!" He screams at her. "You just keep expecting more than what can happen! Expecting me to fold stupid blankets! Expecting me to propose in Disney world!"

"What do you think I wanted you to propose because I'm expecting of you?"

"Why else?!"

"Because of UGH!! Oh my god, Keith, I want you to propose because I want to be married to you!" She yelled with tears flowing out of her eyes. Keith softened.

"Oh. Oh my god." He put his face in his hands. "Stupid stupid stupid I am an IDIOT!" He says to himself.

"Keith.. I-" Pidge cries. "I love you. I love you with every bone in my body. I've loved you since I was a silly 16-year-old girl and I love you even more now. I don't want to call you my boyfriend anymore." She paused. "Keith I wanna call you my husband." Tears kept falling out of her eyes. Keith walked over and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Hang on one second," Keith said running to their room. He came back and showed her what he had retrieved. "This ring was my moms. My parents were married for 20 years before my dad died and they loved each other so so much. A few years after we started dating she gave this to me and told me 'She's a lucky one.' I always thought that maybe if I used this we could be in love like my parents were." He said. He then got down on his knee.

"So Katie Holt, my love since I was a stupid teenager. The girl who chases squirrels and suffers through pollen weather to smile in our secret garden. The girl who I want to call my wife. Will you give me the honor of calling you that until the day I die?" Keith starred up at her, tears falling down his face, love in his eyes.

"Yes." She said through all of her tears. He stood up and they held each other and kissed softly.

"I love you."

"I've loved you for five years. I will love you for however many more you want me to. And I will love you even if you don't want me to. I love you, Katie Holt."
