ROYAL MOMENTS | JEREMIAH HART³

Chapter Eighteen

[ Royal Moments ]

[ Chapter Eighteen: Speaking of my Heart ] 

AGE: 18

[[A/N: Got this inspiration for this chapter when I watching The Big Bang Theory when Penny asks Leonard to marry her. {Season 7, Episode  23}]]

THERE WAS AN UNCOMFORTABLE SILENCE in the room, since neither of us were speaking. Jeremiah was by the kitchen counter while I sat on a stool, crossing my legs together. I hoped that Mia, Michael and Lilly would arrive soon with the supplies but I doubted it since they had to get snacks after.

"I need to start making some decisions soon." I spoke, breaking the silence for the first time since the rest of the group left

"For Genovia?" Jeremiah asked me quietly, glancing at me from the corner of his eye and I lifted my head to stare at him

"For my life." I corrected him softly and he raised an eyebrow, nodding his head and I smiled slightly at his direction

"Like what, Mary?" Jeremiah asked me curiously and I sighed, my smile dimming at the thought of him rejecting me 

"I don't know, we can get back together?" I asked him hesitantly, and his eyes widened at my question

"Come on, Rosemary. Be serious." Jeremiah said to me, waving it off and I bit my tongue before parting my lips to speak

"I am, Jeremiah. I promise you, I am." I told him instantly, watching as my ex-boyfriend started to pace in front of me 

"You know I wanna get back together with you but time just isn't in our favor." Jeremiah reminded me with a frown 

"It may look like that, but we can work through it. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. I know that I don't need to be the Queen of Genovia to be happy!" I exclaimed to him, trying to explain my reasoning on why we belonged together

"Then what do you need?" Jeremiah asked me and I huffed in disbelief that this man wasn't getting it

"You! I need you, you stupid magician!" I huffed, laughter in my voice and he paused, staring at me with wide eyes 

"Oh, then I guess I'm in." Jeremiah said after a few brief seconds and I just stared at the red-haired teenage in front of me

"You guess?" I asked him skeptically with a raised eyebrow and his face flushed before he took a deep breath

"Not like that, more like a "I guess...I'm in!" type of way." Jeremiah corrected himself and I nodded my head, knowing what he meant now

Jeremiah rushed towards me making me tense in my seat to be prepared for him. He skidded to a brief stop in front of me to give me time to get off the chair. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he wrapped my his arm around my waist, the both of our chests touching one another.

We gazed into each other's eyes, neither of us planning to look away soon. He smiled down at me and I smiled, happy that we were back as one. I went on my tippy toes, and planted a kiss on his lips and I could feel him smiling against them.

He lifted me up, and placed me on the edge of the counter but we didn't let go of one another. If anything, I wrapped my legs around his hips, bringing him closer to me. We seperated, our breaths heavy as he placed his forehead against mine.
