Is It So Wrong To Be In Love? (Never Shout Never fan fiction)

Life Goes On: Final Chapter

-Two Months Later-

 

The promise ring has been burning a hole in my pocket. Lately I've been taking Chris to vegan restaurants almost every night for dinner, taking him out of the country for special trips, hell I even attempted to get us to explore the seven seas. Unfortunately the exploring the seas didn't work out because it's undoubtly dangerous so I settled for taking him sailing. But the reason I've been doing all of this for him is so I'll have a nice place to give him the promise ring.

I initially had planned on giving him the ring after I had received his mother's blessing and even later talked with his dad, but I'm a terrible nervous wreck. Every time I think it's a good time to just hand him over the ring, all of these scenarios run through my head. Varying from, now I'm the one rushing the relationship and he's going to think I'm a clingy freak or I'll think I bet I got spinach stuck in my teeth and the sparkle from the ring is just going to reflect the spinach.

Sure it's unlikely that any of those things would happen, but I'm scared it will. Mostly, I'm just afraid that he'll think I'm using the promise ring as a pre-engagement ring, and be scared off. Chris doesn't talk about marriage often so I'm not sure of his opinion on it. Overall I just need to pluck up some courage soon and just give him the ring. My Mom and Chris's family have been down my throat about giving it to him already. Jeez, even my fans have been harassing my Twitter about it Chris and I would become serious one day; even though I already consider us at least to be in a serious relationship.

"I got 69 problems but a witch ain't one, she's been casting her spells but I've fallen in love. I got a white bunny rabbit hidden up my sleeve, spend the night with me and you'll know what I mean." Chris finished singing. The song wasn't even actually over, but he only agreed to play that one small part for me. He's probably sick of playing that song already since I make him sing that song and Honey Dew almost every night.

"Yay, thank you for singing for my babe." I said then kissed Chris as he sat on the couch.

"Don't forget I played piano for you too!" He said. I smiled and started tracing over the tattoos in his arm with my finger nails.

"So do you want to go to dinner?" I asked hoping that tonight may be the night I finally let the promise ring out of my purse.

"Lilah, is there any special reason why we've been going downtown every night for dinner? Don't get me wrong I like going out to eat and stuff, but I can cook some rather swell vegan food myself, you know." Chris said. I had been wondering if he would ever say anything about going out every night. Most nights he just wants to stay home together, but I force him to go out so I can try and fail at giving him the ring. Sigh. I've never realized how much of a nervous mess I can be.

"Well I guess if you don't want to go out, we can stay in and watch a movie or something." I said shrugging my shoulders. Chris let out a deep breath.

"Darling, if you want we'll go out to dinner. I'm willing to do absolutely anything that you want to do. Sorry for complaining." Chris said. I swear he's almost too sweet. I really don't feel that I deserve someone this caring and loving. I count my blessings every day.

I insisted that we just stay home and watch Ink Master until Chris can convince me to get a tattoo or we fall asleep. It only took Chris an hour though before his head was lying on my lap while he was snoring. At first I stayed still because he looks adorable while he sleeps and I don't want to wake him up by moving. But I'm not tired whatsoever so I carefully slid myself off the couch and got Chris a blanket and covered it over him. I threw on one of Chris's Pink Floyd shirts and quietly left to my car.
