AN: Yes, I know another thing, but this just grabbed a hold of me and refused to let go. These are all short but get progressively longer as the chapters go. I think the longest is nearly 600 words :) This is post 3x9 so AU because Joss is alive and kicking and established Careese.
WARNING: Fluff that is sickening sweet so read at your own risk ;D
Disclaimer: I own nothing, like normal. I just can't let go of John Reese and Joss Carter.
The engagement ring was burning a hole in his pocket. His palms were sweating and John's pulse raced as he practiced what he wanted to say to Joss in his head, to tell her just how much she meant to him. But the words seemed so insignificant to accurately express how much he loved her and how he wanted a more permanent arrangement between them.
He approached their table at the fancy restaurant and saw Joss's radiant and dazzling smile. His eyes drifted down to the mouthwatering red sexy dress she donned, hoping by the end of the night tonight he got to rip off of her. He leaned down and brushed his lips across hers tenderly and lingered for a brief few moments before pulling back.
"What's with the fancy dinner?" she wondered as he took a seat across from her.
John's left hand brushed the bulge of the velvet box in his pocket. He needed more practicing before he asked her to marry him. "Can't a man treat his woman to something nice without needing a reason?" he inquired with a charming smile feeling more relaxed as he didn't have to struggle to find the right words to ask her to be his wife.
"He can," she assured with a smile. Before she held up the champagne glass, having ordered for them while she waited for him to come, for a toast and John reciprocated. "A toast to your inner Romeo who was dying to make his way out eventually," she teased. John chuckled as their glasses clinked gently.
AN: So I started you guys off on something light on the fluff. The real fluff fest is on your way. I'm going to (fingers crossed) try to post this everyday or every other day because they are short and stuffed full of Careese.
Thanks for reading :)
