Head Over Heels and Scared to Death

A few days went by and it’s now Monday.

When I woke up Matt wasn’t home. He must have left for work early. I got out of bed put my slippers on and went into the kitchen for some tea. There was my favorite blueberry muffin and a note. The note was sweet, he apologized for leaving so early without saying anything. He also got me my green tea and apple juice in the fridge. It said some other stuff too, like I said it was really sweet. I got dressed and cleaned up a bit. I didn’t have anything to do today so I thought I would read some. I laid on the couch with a bowl of air popped popcorn and relaxed while I read my book.

“Hey babe.” Wow I must have been reading for hours, Matt is home already.

“Oh hi.” I sat up and smiled. “Your home early-ish.” Laughing. He came over to me and kissed me with passion and urgency. I obviously responded with just as much as him. Pulling him to me, standing on my tip toes to get even closer.

“God I love you.” He stopped kissing me but held me close.

“I love you too. What was that about?” we laughed.

“What I can’t kiss my girlfriend?” he asked sarcastically.

“Everyone as work wouldn’t stop talking about you especially Frank. The guys are mad at me because their wives won’t stop talking about you or our dance in the parking lot.” He smiled and kiss me quickly, still holding me close.

“Oh wow I’m a little embarrassed.” I blushed and laughed.

“Stop it. Everyone loves you. Some more then they should.” He got an angry look on his face.

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Just some guys were talking about your dress and you and you get the picture.” I pulled his face to closer to mine and kissed me lips.

“You know it’s all nothing talk. They are just jealous that I am all yours, always….” He cut me off with another wave of kisses.

“Shut up, I know.” He said in-between kisses. I pulled away before I let me self get carried away.

“What do you want for dinner?”

“You” He smirked and gave me that look. I just laughed.

“We are having dinner with Tony and Jade tonight remember?” he asked.

“Oh yeah my bad.” He picked me up and tossed me on the couch with ease.

I got dress in my normal jeans and layered tank tops and we headed over my Tony and Jade’s place, my old place. We got there and there was spaghetti, leave it to Tony to throw your head for a loop. He doesn’t cook.

We ate dinner and talked. Matt and Tony are best friends again. Boys irritate me sometimes. Jade is the perverted, player, asshole he has been sense I have known him. I hate to admit it but I love my boys. It is nice being with them all again. After a while Jade left to go on “date”. So it was me Tony and Matt. Tony went to the back room for a movie I think. I got up to put my cup in the sink and when I got back out Matt cornered me. I was up against the wall and he was right in front of me arms on my sides of me pinning me in.

“What are you doing.” I laughed and tried to push him out of the way. He just stood there.

“Matt.” I whined. I put my pouty face on and he kissed me.

“You just had to ask if that’s all you wanted silly.” He smiled and kissed me again.

“You know I love you right? More than anything. I never thought I could feel like this, its scaring me to death. I can’t help it.” I looked at him worryingly.

“Baby what’s going on?” He knelt down and took my hands in his. I am freaking out what is going on. Tony walked in but paused about 10 feet away he didn’t know what was going on either.

“I know this is weird and not romantic at all, being at your brother’s house and all but I can’t keep it to myself any longer…..” he looked up at me and smiled. “Ashley, will you marry me?” He looked at me with a worried look on his face praying I would say yes. I looked at him in complete shock and aw. He started to get a serious face and frown a bit and he started to stand up. Then he stopped when he saw tears running down my cheeks.

“What’s wrong? Are you ok?” I got down on my knees, put my hands on his cheeks and kissed him. I pulled away smiling tears still falling.

“Matt….” I paused and kissed him again. “Yes.” I laughed a little bit. “Yes.” He pulled me closer into him and kissed me. He stood up taking me with him and spun around. We both just laughed.

“I probably should have given this to you a few minutes ago. He pulled a small black velvet box out of his pocket opened it and took the ring out. He tossed the box aside, took my left hand and slid the ring onto my finger. It fit perfectly and it was beautiful. It was a simple ring, a white gold band and tear cut diamond.

“Oh my god it’s perfect.” I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. I kicked one leg up behind, classic movie stuff right there.

“Cough cough cough.” Tony made a noise that broke us from our happy moment. We turned and looked over at him.
