Regrets

45

The day went by really quickly. Dad gave me my gift, which I haven't opened yet, and then he decided to play with Art's toys and piss off Cole. Cole stayed unbother and help Art draw something for my birthday. My family is crazy I know.

Everyone is sleeping, and as usual, I can't sleep at all. Maybe it's because of the coffee. Or anxiety. Probably both. I walk to the living room and I sit down on the sofas, holding the gift my dad gave me. I unwrap it and read the card on the side :

' Violet, I hope you like the gift I bought for you. And I know you gonna say you like it even if you don't. So, I decided to buy you something that I hope you like. Love you - Dad '

Truth is that my dad would always buy me expensive gifts and tell the nanny to give it to me on my birthday since most of the times he would be on some business trip. It was like he thought he could fill his absence by buying us lots of gifts.

Anyways, I open the box and there's a book inside. I put the box and look through the book's pages. It's actually something like a mini- college with photos from my childhood and quotes accompanying the photos. Believe it or not, this is one of the best gifts my dad has ever given me.

"What are you doing?" Shawn asks me , sitting down next to me

"I'm just opening my dad's gift. It's a photo album" I say, handing him the gift

"Your dad went from buying experience jewelleries to giving you a simple but unique present" Shawn comments

"Actually, I like this one better"

"I know" Shawn says giving me a friendly smile. "I also got you something" he adds , handing me a small paper bag

"Thank you" I say , taking the bag and openiy. Inside of it , there is a small box covered in red velvet "Holy shit"

I try not to fangirl; maybe it's not a ring. Maybe he bought me earnings or something that fits in this box.

"Open it" Shawn says with a smile

What if he bought me a ring? That means that he really loves me and doesn't hate me for doing all those stupid things. Including the fact that I didn't tell him about being pregnant. And also being the reason why he called off his engagement

On the other hand, if he bought me a pair of earrings, that means that he kind enough to buy me a birthday present and not kick me out of his house.

Anyways, I should open the gift and not overthink everything.

I do so and inside of the small box covered in red velvet, there is a ring.

Oh my god. How can a ring look so expensive yet so plain?

"Violet, I should have done this years ago but I'm idiot. Since the day you walked into the studio, I knew that you are the one. I know this sounds cheesy. But, back to when we used to write songs together, I would fall in love with you even more every day. When we broke up, I go with Chloe. I really loved her. But not the way I love you. I love you and Arthur so much. We are a family. So, I have to ask you something. Do you want to marry me?" Shawn says, offering me the ring

I wipe the tears of joy from my eyes from the back of my hand and nod

"Yes. I would love to marry you" I say, with a big smile
