It'd been 2 years since I'd been able to call Alexarah mine. It'd been 2 glorious years. We argued from time to time, but we were never mad at each other for more than a few minutes.

We were actually about to go on a date. Well, not really a date, more like a 'just enjoying each others company with some booze'. We were only 17, but who cares? Mom sure didn't. My bathroom door opened and out walked Alexarah. She had just showered. Her hair was gorgeous wet, and she looked dazzling in sweats.

"Awe you look beautiful love."

She blushed and stuck her tongue out at me. I pulled her into me and nuzzled her neck.

"Have I told you how much I love you Alex?'

She turns toward me and kisses me softly. "No I don't believe you have."

"Hm, that just won't do. I love you more than I could ever show you. I love you more than I love myself, and more than I've ever loved anyone. I love you to the ever star in the universe and back. I love you around the earth 473289740374309 times. You have my heart, my love. And I don't want it back, ever. If you gave it back, It wouldn't be the same."

Alexarah only stared at me. Her face portrayed love, shock, understanding, joy, and so much more. Her eyes glowed and her smile was from ear to ear. I had never seen her so happy.

"Hey Jalex, the booze is here." My brother said barging in.

I glowered at him. "Fucking thank you for ruinING THE MOMENT." I pick Alex up and head downstairs. Mom and dad weren't here, but my brother and his girlfriend were. Yeah, they're 19 and we're 17, and we're all happily inlove with our soul mates. Looking over at Alex I can't help but picturing her in an extravagant wedding dress, waling down the isle toward me.

"So how have you been Jalex?' My brothers girlfriend, Carolyn, asks, breaking me out of my day dream and into reality.

"I've been amazing, and yourself?" I reply, pouring Alex and myself a drink.

Carolyn was a beautiful girl. Fair skin, with auburn hair and beautiful green eyes. Her personality was addicting, I could see why my brother was in love with her.

"I've been great. I'm pregnant, so I won't be drinking with you guys."

I sputtered a little. 'And you're telling me this as I've got liquid in my mouth?! I'm so happy for you! OMG WHEN IS SHE/HE DUE? IS HE/SHE HEALTHY? WHEN WAS_"

"Jalex, breathe," She says giggling. " It's too early to tell and she's due in December. I feel like it's a girl though. I'm really excited and your brother is bouncing off the wall. I've never seen him this happy, I tell you what. He wants a girl as well. He wants to name her Marilyn Alexandria Rayne Fallen."

"That's a beautiful name/ I'm sure she'll be a beautiful girl or a handsome little boy." Alex chimed in.

I pull her into my lap and do a toast to Carolyn's baby. My brother walks back in caring fruit for Carolyn.

Alex and I decide to grab the beer and other assortments and head back up to my room.

I was going to ask her to marry me, and I was petrified. I didn't want to screw up and I didn't want to pressure her. But I was ready to call this girl mine forever. Even if we didn't get married for 5 or 6 years, it would still be great to call her my fiancee'.

"It's amazing that Carolyn and your brother are going to have a baby soon. I'm so happy for them." Alex says, pulling me from my thoughts. I nod, somewhat preoccupied.

She walks toward me and wraps her arms around me. We sway back and forth, just enjoying each other's company. She felt so soft and fragile in my arms. We fit perfectly together and for that I was grateful. I would wait to ask her to marry me. I wanted to take her somewhere special, just like she deserved.

She pulled me to my bed and from then the drinking started.

~30 Minutes Later~

Alex and I were both rather tipsy. She leaned against me, giggling at something I probably couldn't guess.

"I wuvb yuho." She slurred, kissing my cheek.

I chuckled. If we hadn't been together, I probably would have looked at her with a 'wtf' face. I had to take a piss. I stood up and walked over to the bathroom. Well more stumbled over to the bathroom. I pissed and washed my hands, anxious to go back to my Alex.

"Wahna gooo foh a wawk?"

She nodded and I grabbed her hand, pulling her out the door. My brother and Carolyn were sleeping on the couch. They looked adorable.

Alexarah and I walk aimlessly around the neighbor, enjoying each others comfortable silence. I'd sneak glances at her every now and again. Her wavy black her flowing in the early May wind. Intertwining my hands back in hers , we walk back to the house in silence. Carolyn is in the kitchen making bacon for my brother.

Alex pulls me up the steps and into my room. She looks tired so we lay on my bed and soon enough we're off to bed.
