The date had been set. And broer-I mean Wim- I mean Willem sat at the reserved table, checking his watch religiously. My drinking buddy-I mean.. Erik was late. Willem could stand waiting for five or even ten minutes, but not in a place like this where he wasn't allowed to smoke that blasted pipe of his. Willem silently wondered if Erik wasn't late because he was playing with those adorable and cute- Er... fake and nonsensical "fairy" friends of his.
This wasn't fair at all! Willem spent months planning this, he wouldn't be blown off for fairies no matter how cute and sweet they were!-Or rather. how nonexistant they were! That was what broer thought, right? He even had been rudely ignoring his tres mignon bebe sister for the past few weeks to finish up his plans. That jerk, I needed him to walk me home after work one night and he refused to come. But anyways! So, he checked the cell phone that his adorable bebe sister had forced on him in case she needed to get a-hold of him.
10:30 PM. Thirty minutes passed the promised meeting time. He called the very cute and attractive Norwegian! Only to have the Norwegian's cell phone ring-tone go off right behind him in his left ear. My cute and naïve broer Willem turned to stare up at Erik, his face becoming flushed and his pulse racing! He stood up and walked to the other side of the table
Like a gentleman, he pulled out Erik's chair and pushed it back in once the other man had sat. He went back to his own seat, palms sweating as one hand played with the velvet black box in his pocket. Erik's face was also brightly red as he was anticipating a passionate and embarrassing first night between them!
It was the first time they'd actually planned to meet up -much more pointedly the first time stupid broer Willem had ever invited some one to such a fancy place without his cute sister forcing him to come with her and bring a friend. So surely, the Dutch-man wanted him! That's what the Norwegian man thought and the Norwegian man was right!
My incredibly smart and precious broer Willem finally made the right decision and stood up. Walking to the other side and got down on one knee beside Erik's chair. Erik turned in his seat toward Willem, stunned. The tall Dutch man pulled the box out of his pocket and opened it, "Erik… Marry me and make me the happiest man ever. I'll never be able to live without you. If you refuse me now, I'd die. I couldn't stand this life without your precious existence by my side."
Tears welled in Erik's eyes as he leaped down to wrap his arms around the other's neck. His cries didn't go unheard. They were all 'yes, yes, yes.' They finished their wonderful dinner and went back to Willem's place. Go broer! Be gentle with him! Where they shared their first passionate night and got to wake up to each other's faces the next morning!
