[Tin x Can] If Only I Could Trust

Chapter 13: Part 2

(A/N: When this is waiting to propose to you.)

I knew that I had a long night ahead of me so I brewed some coffee. I usually didn't drink the stuff too often except under important occasions because in the past I had trouble sleeping causing my nightmares to be more intense. Now, with Can in my bed, I had insomnia for other reasons. I smiled down at him resting soundly yet again. He sure was lazy, it was only midnight and we had stayed up later than this having sex. I smirked at how he was again strewn across the bed. He slept wildly and liked to have the whole bed to himself when I wasn't in it. When I was, he always subconsciously ended up hung on to my waist. I kissed his forehead before grabbing my laptop and heading into the farthest room.

Sitting at the desk, I took out my phone and dialed a number I knew all too well. Can wouldn't be happy to know that I was going to be speaking to another ex of mine but unfortunately a lot of my flings owned the best shops here or my family kept in contact with them for business reasons. I sometimes think it wasn't the best thing coming here but a lot of them didn't like me too much anymore so is there really a problem in accepting their help for the person that I love? As long as I kept it from Can then all should run smoothly.

I listened as the phone rang and upon the third I heard a 'hello' sound on the other side. For some reason my voice didn't want to work but I eventually cleared my throat and began to speak. If this doesn't end well, I still had other places to go but they weren't as top notch and my boyfriend deserves the best of everything that I could offer. Especially after we had to leave all that we knew. A little birdy in the back of my mind told me that I was cheating by moving to this place since in essence I really only left my family and came back where I grew up. It was different from completely cutting ties like Can had.

'Nice to talk to you again M.W.' I listened for her to be shocked and I was rewarded with the sound before a string of curses bombarded my ears.

'#@^#&&*#) @!*&@^(#+)  #+8#&*) $))$)* %)_^)@ #+$+$  TIN!' Then she hung up.

I chucked low at her reaction and started to research for the second best flower shop in London when my phone began to buzz again. I couldn't get a word in when I answered because she started speed talking right away.

'How dare you call me after all this time. You fail to recall that you left without a goodbye, not a hello, not anything and then you just ring my phone like we are friends. How frigging dare you. Sigh. And stop addressing me by my nickname M.W. my name is Kay and you know that. You could call me sometimes but of course you don't because you are Tin frigging Ice Prince Medthanan.'

I laughed low when she called me that. After all she was the one who gave me that nickname in the first place. It was even picked up by the media and became the first go to for anyone to say when they came across me and my cold demeanor. 

'I want to let you know that I might be getting married soon and I needed flowers for my proposal. It's all last minute so I need them set up before nine in the morning. Can you do me this favor?'

'Ha! You? Settle down? I don't believe it! Who is the lucky girl?' Her sarcasm was evident.

'His name is Can.'

'His?!' She recovered herself quickly. "Oh...ok. Err, what day?'

'Tomorrow.' 

'How many flowers do you need? A nice 20 flower bouquet?'

'Try 5000.' 

'Tin...Tin really? ARE YOU CRAZY?!'

'For him, yes I am. I really need this so please, help me out here. Money isn't an issue.'

'I don't want your money either...'

'I need this at Kyoto Garden by 9 AM and I have people there waiting now. I wouldn't come to you if I didn't believe you can do this. I ask this favor to you and not to mention you heard from me.'

There was silence on the line for a brief moment. 'Ok. You're lucky I still care for you. It'll take a lot of work but it'll be ready by 7 am.'

'Thank you. And Kay?'

"Umm.'

'I'm sorry for everything I did and didn't do.'

'Whoa. He is too good for you whomever he is to change you like this. Consider it all fine.'

Hanging up the phone I sat back. This was the easy part. Scribbling a note I placed it next to Can.

I'm sorry that I had to go out. At 8:30 a limo will be here to take you to me. I left an outfit for you to wear. I'm pretty sure it's your size so don't worry. Don't eat anything before you come here. I promise I will make up for it. Love, Tin

Before I realized it, the time had come for Can to arrive. I wasn't generally nervous but as the minutes passed it did increase substantially. Even though I knew he would show up there was still that doubt in my mind that he might turn away and reject me. I know it was stupid since we ran away together but Tul's abuse and the distrust I've had for so long kept trying to creep into my life like a ghost to possess me once more.

Kay had delivered on her promise big time. I looked around me at the nice array of different flowers all around the area. She went above and beyond with a banner that said "I love you" on it made with flowers. It was a bit cheesy but it will work. Once more I was thankful to her for procuring as I requested. 

There were quite a few peacocks in the area and it just added to the niceness of the scene. Their vibrant colors matched a lot of the flowers. There were also swans swimming in the pond close to where I was. I couldn't have planned the aesthetics any better. Speaking of planning, I had decided to do this on the plane over. Fortunately, I had met my ex and found her brother who I bought a one of a kind engagement ring from and I lessened my pride to get another one of a kind flower arrangement. My happiness always seemed to look up when I was with my lover.

Just then my phone buzzed and that meant only one thing, Can had arrived.

(A/N: I originally planned to make this longer but I didn't want you guys to wait and then why rush? We have all the time in the world right? The proposal is up next. I'm only telling because duh...who doesn't know? Lol)
