𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐖 - Louis Partridge/ book 1, 2, & 3

60: Promise

Louis and I stayed up late at the tea shop to study. We got kicked out for staying too late and they needed to close anyway. 

Now, we're just walking along the quiet streets near the river.

"Hey, I don't have my kiss yet." 

"I studied for more than an hour!" he points out.

"You just broke an unbreakable vow."

"Really? I thought you forgot." I teased. He is so cute.

"It was the only thing in my mind!"

I turned around and stopped walking, slinging both my arms into his. 

"So you didn't really study?" I whisper, lifting my head up closer to his.

"Did it look like I did?" he whispers with a smirk. 

Then our heads were in sync; moving closer to each other, close enough to kiss when Louis places his finger on my lips. 

"Save it."

I let out a confused look while Louis was smirking as he reached through his pocket. 

It was a pure white ring box. Obviously, Pandora.

oh, shit.

The ring is so beautiful. It reflects the bright moonlight, streaming from above us.

It had a small dandelion on top.

"Sunny?"

"Louis I-" I stop him.

"Shh," he whispers. "Let me finish."

I roll my eyes playfully.

"Sunny, I really love you. I know we're probably halfway there but, I think about you every single day. And you bring so much of the best of me. I'm so lucky I have you. The world wouldn't want to miss a girl like you; I know I wouldn't."

"This ring right here..." he pulls the ring out of the box.

"Is a symbol of how much I love you more than you know." 

Gently, he grabs my hand and puts the ring on my ring finger. 

"It's beautiful," I mumble. "But, Louis."

He pulls my waist closer. "Relax, it's a promise ring," he whispered.

"I'll ask you when we're 18. Just be ready with a yes."

"So can I kiss you now?" I say, as Louis leans to my lips and we kissed the night away.
