Chapter One: Take This Ring I Hold

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I was sure that I'd lose him in the crowd if I let go of his hand, but my palms were so sweaty I figured my grip would slip if it wasn't vice-like. Still, always patient with me, Chris just accepted it and went along with wherever I pulled him. Leading him before the large fountain at the center of the shopping center's square, and stopping there, I smiled at his questioning look.

Damn, but did he look good. One brow quirked, that mischievous smile turning to a smirk, the curve of his jaw, it all makes him look almost devilish, sometimes. He'd let his hair grow out a little, hanging a little shaggy by his ears. Every time he said he was going to cut it, I secretly praised him when he put it off 'another few days'. Whenever he looked at me, those blue eyes of his sparkle behind his glasses, and that's one reason I knew I was making the right slow quirk of my lips brought red to my cheeks as I finally dropped to my knees, reaching into my pocket with my free hand and pulling out a small ring box. His eyes flitted all around, as though he were trying to see if this was a prank or not, but when he let his gaze rest on me again, I knew he knew I was serious.

"Chris?" I asked quietly, feeling my hands shaking as I untangled my fingers from his.

"Yeah…?" He sounded a mix of breathless and excited.

"Would you do me the honor of becoming Mr. Chris Washington?" I was sure my smile looked as queasy as I felt. He waited, frozen to the spot for a few minutes, which only made me more nervous. Then, he sunk to his knees before me and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Yes. Of course, yes!" Opening the box, I showed him the simple gold band with three small diamonds set in it. Slipping the ring onto his left finger, I smiled more genuinely when he pressed our lips together. We knew we couldn't really get married, but this was a big step for us. I don't think I'd ever been so happy before.
