Temptation (Human Lapidot)

8

Peridots POV

A few months later.

I looked over at Lapis, who was sleeping next to me and smiled a bit. I couldn't sleep because of how excited I was for today. I opened my drawer slowly, and looked at the tiny ring box sitting inside it.

It was noon, and I planned on taking Lapis out for a fancy lunch next to the ocean. First step was waking the sleeping beauty up.

"Lapis, wake up!" I smiled and tapped her gently.

She groaned and opened her eyes. "Noooo, five more minutesssss." She rolled over so her back was facing me.

"You said that last time. I wanna take you out to lunch, but I can't do that if you don't wanna get up." I laughed quietly.

She sat up then yawned. "Fineee, just let me get a shower please." She stretched and stood up, looking over at me. "I'll be out in a few, Per."

10 minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around herself. She already dried her hair and styled it, she just needed to get dressed.

She smiled at me and walked over to the closet, dropping her towel before entering. I blushed like crazy and tried to keep my eyes off her.

Lapis turned her head to look at me and chuckled. "It's alright, Peri. You can look if you want to, I don't mind." She smiled and walked into the closet, picking out a dark blue sundress to wear.

She walked out and smiled at me. "Well now you need to get dressed."

I nodded and got up off the bed. I started walking towards the closet, and Lapis pulled me in for a quick kiss. "I'll meet ya in the living room." She smiled and walked off.

I went and picked out my outfit. I wore a nice pair of dress slacks, a white button up, and a red bow tie to make it look nice. I tucked in my shirt and looked at myself in the mirror.

I ran into the bathroom and quickly fixed my hair up, tying a small bun on the top of my head with the excess down. I adjusted my glasses and nodded at my appearance.

I got the ring box from the drawer, and then walked into the living room.

Lapis looked over and smiled. "Wow, you look nice Peri."

I blushed then smiled softly. "You look nice too." I walked over to her and took her hand. "Ready to go?"

She nodded and leaned over to peck my cheek. I smiled and walked over to the door, opening it for her.

I lead Lapis out to the car, and opened the car door for her. She got in and smiled at me. "Thank you."

I nodded and walked to the drivers side. I started the car and started driving to the restaurant. It was a small cafe on the beach, I figured it would be a good spot to propose.

Once we arrived, we got the table on the patio. It was a seat you had to specially reserve, so that's why I was rushing to get there on time. I pulled Lapis's chair out so she could sit down.

Lapis sat down and looked up at me. "This is fancy." She smiled.

I smiled back and looked at her. I was wondering if I should propose now, so I did. "Lapis- You seriously made me the happiest person in the entire world.." I got down on one knee and took her hand.

Lapis covered her mouth, and started to tear up.

"I-I was wondering if you'd like to be with me for the rest of our lives.. L-Lapis, will you marry me..?" I held out the ring and looked up at her, my eyes starting to fill with tears.

She quickly nodded. "O-oh my gosh.." She stood up and pulled me up with her, kissing me deeply. "Y-yes!"

I smiled wide. "She said yes!" I called out to the people in the restaurant who were watching. They all cheered and I leaned in to kiss Lapis again. I slowly slid the engagement ring onto her finger and wiped my eyes. "I-I love you."

She smiled. "I love you too."
