Actor Imagines: Thomas Brodie Sangster Book 2

wait what?

I smiled as I stood Infront of my mirror drying and sorting out my hair so I looked presentable as I did my phone went off.
Y/n <3 :
Just doing my make up should be ready soon

"Ahh fuck" I said out loud
Thomas:
Okay Hun, on my way
Even if I lied fixing my hair and grabbing my clothes knowing she'll get worried if I'm late I made sure I looked good and went down grabbing my keys
"Ahh!! Fuck! Fuck shit! Almost forgot" I said almost slapping my fucking self for being so dump, running back upstairs and digging thought my bedside draw desperate to find what the hell I did with it, grabbing the little blue velvet box opening it to make sure it was still in there, seeing the light twinkle in the rows of diamonds in the beautiful gold.
I shut it back up hiding it in my pocket and going down locking up and getting in my car.
I began the drive over to y/n's parents place, she had gone for the weekend just mostly to spend some time with her family but I used it as the perfect excuse to have her out the house so I could get ready.
I've wanted to propose to y/n honestly since I met her, but it never quite seemed right and then once we moved in together it was kinda a nightmare to plan in anyway without the suprise getting ruined.
But luckily she went away all weekend, the house empty, free to walk around the shops on my own so I could sort it all out, and it so happily fell on our anniversary.
I had been looking for about the last year for a ring and I found a little shop not to far away that had a nice one, I didn't care what it cost it was for y/n after all. So I reserved it a few months ago while we where out shopping and she conveniently went for a wonder in lush on her own, and I picked it up yesterday then booked us a nice dinner the same place I took her on our first real date, so I headed over to pick her up and I pulled up at her family house and as soon as I shut the car off and got out she opened the door in her perfect purple dress her make up and hair done so perfect she looked like a beautiful painting from a thousand years ago I felt so happy to see her I almost ran over hugging her tightly
"Whoa... Hi Thomas" she laughs giving me a little cuddle to
"You look so beautiful" I told her kissing her head "I missed you so bad"
"Aww thank you Tommy, I missed you too" she smiled pulling away and giving my lips a tiny kiss "come on Mr else we'll be late" she warns heading to the car I smiled widely and got into the car with her starting to drive off often resting my hand in her leg as I drove "so why exactly are we going so fancy?" She asks
"Well it's our anniversary" I laughed
"Thomas I'd have thought by now you'd have known I'd rather just cuddle up on the sofa with some popcorn and pizza watching breaking bad or something" she explained
"I know... But sometimes it's fun to be fancy" I smiled as we got to the restaurant and I parked up "umm I love you so much" I smiled giving her a kiss
"Aww I love you too, what's going on?" She asks
"What why do you ask?" I asked in panic had I given it away that early?
"Your being very... Affectionate today Thomas, and very lovey dovey" she explained "I'm not used to you being like this" she explained as she got out and I followed her
"Maybe I just really missed you?" I suggest
"I was gone two days Thomas" she laughs
"Well maybe I just want to show my love for you a little more" I shrug
"Alright, but I'm watching you Sangster" she warns as she headed inside.
We sat to dinner at the same table we had our first date laughing and talking about everything and nothing as we had dinner I couldn't help smiling as I looked at her as we waited for dessert while she had some wine I got the box out of my pocket fiddling with it trying to find a step in the conversation to maybe get onto the topic, or somehow get into that idea
I really should have planned this more.
I have to lead into it don't I?
I can't really just shove the box on the table and just pop the question.

"Sally? Will you marry me?" A voice asked from across the restaurant we both looked and saw another couple on a date and he was on his knee proposing
Oh thanks dude now I have to follow you!
He probably practiced, Or atleast wrote it down.
"Aww that's so sweet" y/n smiled
"Yeah, really sweet" I smiled trying to not act nervous
"What a beautiful way to propose" she smiled Dam I wasn't watching what he did! Should I have been? Or would that be copying? "Umm don't like the ring thought" she says turning back just as dessert got here
"Oohh what kinda ring was it? I didn't really see?" I asked
"Diamond, I know there a classic and all I just really don't like them" she explained
And I had a heart attack fiddling with the box in my hand containing the diamond ring I had bought
"Wait what?" I asked trying not to cry or scream
"I don't like diamonds, the whole thing is a old marketing campaign, and that's before you even look into the ethics of diamond mining. Plus honestly I just find them boring there just sparkly and white, I can get that from glass" she explained
"So... If someone where to, buy you a diamond ring? You wouldn't like it?"
"I'd like it, hell I'd be engaged they could ask with a haribo ring and I'd be happy" she laughs "but I think I would be a little disappointed, that they would do something special for me" she explained eating her cake "why?" She asks
"Just curious that's all Hun" I said faking a smile putting the little box back in my pocket "so... If let's for theory's sake, I was going to propose? What kinda ring would you want?" I asked
"If you where?" She asks slyly licking her spoon
"If I was" I smiled
"I don't know... Maybe a gem of some kind? Or a rare stone? Ooohh or like an opal I love opals there all so different and interesting" she explained
"Okay" I nodded
"Why are you so curious anyway?" She asks
"I don't know, I like finding out new stuff about you" I smiled.

I yawned sitting up having a stretch rubbing my eyes after being up so late last night, I looked over to the other side of my bed looking at y/n perfectly sleep.
Ummm you where meant to be my finance by now, I sighed looking at my jacket from last night still with that box in my pocket, I was mad at myself
I should have known that, instead I wasted that whole night because I bought the wrong thing. I smiled seeing her sleeping so I gave her some kisses
"Umm... Good morning" she yawns
"Good morning," I smiled kissing her "hun I'm gonna pop out okay? We need milk" I told her
"Okay Thomas" she yawns so I got out of bed and got dressed hiding the box in my pocket and heading downstairs I know she'll be fast asleep again I went to the fridge pouring away some milk so I had an excuse to go buy more. I went out locking the house behind me and hurrying off in my car to the jeweler I bought the ring from.
The second I step thought the door I think she could read my emotions and the fact I had the box in my hand likely gave her a clue why I was there.
"Oh darling, did it not go to well?" She asks
"Not exactly" I told her
"What do you mean?" She asks
"Look it's kinda complicated but long Story short I didn't ask because... She kinda mentioned she didn't like diamonds very much so is there any kind of way I could maybe trade this one in and get a different ring that's not a diamond?" I explain
"Well most if not all engagement rings are diamond" she says
"I know but it doesn't have to be a engagement ring just a ring that's not a diamond" I explain
"Did she say anything she did like?' she asks
"She likes opals" I told her
"Opals? Ahh I think I have something" she says taking my ring box and going into the back a moment before coming out with a luxurious tray of rings all with different sizes, shapes and colours if opals I saw one that caught my eye, a black and blue sort of colours and I think it clicked
"Yeah that one" I told her
"Your sure this time?" She laughs
"Positive" I laughed she checked and it happened to be the same price as the original ring I got so she swapped the ring in my little box and she smiled at me
"Good luck"
"Thanks" I blushed taking it home hiding it in my pocket as I came in and I saw her sat in her pjs watching TV "hi Hun I'm home"
"Hi, did you get milk?" She asks
Fuck! I knew I forgot something
"Uhh no they where out" I told her
"What took you so long then?" She asks
"I was Uhhh driving around looking for milk, can't fine any seriously it's a UK wide milk shortage" I lied
"Okay" she laughs
"Uhh Hun? You wanna go for a walk in the park?" I offer
"Aww okay" she smiled giving me a kiss and running upstairs to put a dress on.

We walked around the park for a while hand in hand chatting about things and looking at the sweet flowers till we stopped in the summer sun perched on a little water fountain people often throw pennies in I looked at her sweet face, hardly any make up her hair a little messy from the breeze, I squeezed her hand and she looked at me
"Hi Tommy" she smiled kissing my cheek
"Hi Hun, look I need to talk to you about something important" I told her and she looked worried "it's nothing bad don't worry" I laughed kissing her nose I kept hold of her hand Moving to kneel on the gravel and grass and she looked confused
"Thomas... What's going on?" She asked
"y/n from the second I saw you I wanted to ask you something, and I knew I couldn't because I literally just met you and it would be really weird. But I never stopped wanting to ask you, sometimes I actually thought you where trying to stop me from asking. But with everything we've been thought together, and having just had our anniversary... I think it's time I finally actually ask you rather then just thinking about it" I told her
"What?" She asked almost in shock as I got the little box from my pocket
"Y/n, your my world, everything I've ever wanted, and I know your just gonna argue it's just a bit of paper or its just a bit if jewelry but...I truly love you, crazy little sinic and all my darling. And if you'll have me? I'd like to be with you for the rest of time"
"Thomas what's-" she began as everyone was clearly now looking at us as it became obvious to everyone else in the park what I was doing
"Y/n, I'm asking you to marry me" I laughed showing her the ring "so?" I asked as she hadn't said anything
"Ohh Thomas of course I will" she smiled hugging me tight I hugged her tighter then I ever had before kissing her soft lips between tears of joy till I pulled away and helped her put the ring on "for the record... I knew" she laughs
"What?" I asked
"I knew you'd been wanting to ask for months," she laughs "I assumed it would have been last night, what did you leave the ring at home or something?"
"Funny story actually Hun"
"Oh?"
"I almost did leave the ring at home but... It was a uhh a diamond engagement ring, and when you said I just felt bad so I traded it for one you would like" I explained
"I still would have said yes Thomas" she laughs
"I know but... Now you have a beautiful ring that you like" I smiled kissing her
"I love you" she smiled
"I love you too" I told her
