Today was indeed a special day...
Chapter 9 : Love Like Winter
♥ just read.
{Lets fast forward a little bit...}
It was Christmas Eve, and Sara and I decided to throw a little christmas party. Christmas was my favorite holiday, besides my birthday. I never got my car in the summer, which made me a little sad. Oh well.
As Sara and I were making the tree look way awesome, our dad came in the living room and informed us that he was taking our mom on a cruise. Sara and I glanced at eachother and conveyed one thought...HOME. ALONE. FOR. TEN. DAYS. We assured Dad we'd be fine, and with that, he went to go get Mom to leave.
As soon as he left and locked our door, we did a little victory dance and finished the tree up.
Me being the awesome one, I decided to make cookies! When they were done, Sara tried to steal one. "You have to wait." I simply told her. "But Jay-meeee....." she said to me, "they smell sooo good! Can I have just oneeee?" "No, you have to wait!" I told her again.
After that little episode, Pete and Jon showed up. Sara let them in the door and we all basically just hung around and talked. "Saraaaa!" I called into the livingroom, "you can have a cookie now!"
For Christmas,I got everyone something. I got Pete a shirt from Hot Topic, Sara got a whole little assortment of Fall Out Boy stuff, a fosters home for imaginary friends wristband, and a pack of Jones Soda (I'll regret that later.) I got Jon a guitar hero disc I made myself, and a wireless controller.
Ofcourse everyone loved it. Sara got me a bunch of AFI stuff....and Jones Soda. Pete gave me a gamestop giftcard.
Jon wanted to talk to me, so we stepped outside. It was cold and it was starting to snow. "You wanted to talk to me?" I asked as I was eating a cookie. "Yeah," he said. I was wondering what was up. Was he going to break up with me? No! No no no no no! I shoved that awful thought out of my head.
"I got you something for christmas..." He had it closed in his hand, I wondered what it was. He laughed a minute. "Actually, I got you two things." All I could do was stand there in the cold and wait. He held out his left hand, and I saw car keys! "Your dad let me get you a car." He said. I looked in the driveway, and there it was. My first car, that my awesome boyfriend got for me. I squeaked in happiness. "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!" I gave him a kiss. I was speechless, what else did he have on top of this?
Jon stood there for a moment and let the snow fall around us. I was still shocked about the car, I couldn't wait any longer. My heart rate was raised as it was from all the excitement."The second thing...is...uh, well, I don't know how to...." he started. I could tell he was nervious. But I let him take his time. "Jaime, from day one I've known you, you've been the love of my life, and I really mean that..." he said. "Truthfully, same with you." I said.He laughed. "Ah, hell with it," he finally said after a minute. "Jaime, will you marry me?"
My heart just stopped beating. Not literally, but almost.
