Hot Air Balloon (An Owl City Fanfic)

Chapter 26

AnnaBeth's POV

I sat there crying my eyes out afraid to look at Adam. I cried until I started hiccuping and I let Adam pull me close to him. My body started shaking as I cuddled closer to Adam.

"Anna," he said, "I love you so very much."

I looked at him through my tear filled eyes.

"You don't hate me?" I asked

He looked at me with compassion in his big brown eyes.

"Why would I hate you, my dear?" Adam said softly, "I don't care about your creepy cousin Chris or all of the other bad things you did. I love you for who you are. And you, my sweet Anna, are my fiancée."

I smiled and I rested my head against Adam's shoulder. He rested his on top of mine and he put his arms around me.

"Hey Anna," he said.

"Hmm?"

"I have something to show you," he told me.

Adam hugged me tight then he let go of me. I sat up and I saw him removed his tee shirt and he started removing his pants when I stopped him. He told me not to worry and he took off his pants. I stared at him as I saw wires along his body go from his hip up to his chest, I also saw the metal rod that was connected to his hips. Below that were the mechanical legs with a more wires and tubes and rods and a ball for his knee joints.

"Does it hurt?" I asked quietly

"Yes. It does hurt a lot. Every passing second I'm scared that a wire will come lose," Adam told me, "but it's what I have to deal with."

"Oh. Hey if I'm going to be your wife we need to set some rules," I said.

Adam smiled and he said,

"Like no moving away, no getting kidnapped, no going into any comas or anything that will keep us apart. I know."

Adam's POV

Anna smiled faintly at me and I put my clothes back on. Then Anna leaned up against me and she whispered,

"I love you Adam."

I looked at her and I started lightly kissing her neck and face. She hugged me and I stopped. We made eye contact and she tiled her head to the left and glanced down. I got the hint and I leaned in. When I was an inch away from her lips I quickly moved up and I kissed the tip of her nose.

"I'm saving our first kiss for our wedding day," I whispered in her ear.

I felt her breath on my cheek and she kissed it.

"Me too," she replied.

Then I leaned back, I put the engagement ring on her finger, and we sat there cuddled close to each other. While we sat there, I knew I couldn't have any more imaginary adventures and I now have the privilege to share a real life long adventure with my best friend and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The End.
