This is just something that popped into my head.
I own nothing
Penny sat on her couch gazing at the ring on her left hand. She held it up to the light and watched the many sparkles created by the center stone and the smaller stones all around it. He had stepped out to get a bottle of champagne. After what they both described as an anticlimactic engagement, He was determined to make it just that much more special.
Penny thought back to when she was a little girl and just when she first thought about getting married. There was the time in the First grade when she hung upside down showing all the boys her under pants when things didn't work out with her fiance'. And there was the time she was supposed to get married to Ernie...
But really she could remember thinking about who she might marry. Would he have Blonde hair? It was her favorite... Would he have Blue eyes? They would be so nice to look into. She really didn't care... She would be patient and wait and see. One thing was fro certain, she thought to herself... "He would want to Marry Me" But she really didn't care what he looked like.
As she got older and into high school, she dated guys that had blonde hair like Curtis, and guys with blue eyes like Donny. They were nice but were they going to be the ones? Nothing was certain. She would wait and she would find the right one, because after all she thought, "they would want to Marry ME..."
It wasn't that long after she graduated high school that she thought again. Would he be tall? those were her favorite types. She didn't know. She really didn't care what he looked like.. but he had to want to Marry Me...
She met Kurt and he was tall like she wanted and she moved away with him but that didn't work out because he didn't wand to Mary her. Kurt was self centered. He thought he was important and any one would be lucky to be with him. Kurt wasn't the one... She couldn't see herself with him.., She would wait... she didn't care what he looked like...
Time went on and she thought who would it be she had thought of the boys in her past and she had met new ones that were tall and blonde and had blue eyes. There were guys like Doug. Doug was just someone she met... probably too soon after Kurt. She was lonely and wanted to be with someone. He wasn't the one... She would wait She didn't care what he looked like.
Mike Was blonde and had blue eyes, he was strong and had a good job, but Mike was into just fun... He was not the one... She would wait... she didn't care what he looked like...
And then there was Eric... All were nice and all were tall or blonde or had blue eyes... But none of them were the ones. She would wait... She didn't care what they looked like...
Penny thought deeper and stronger as she gazed at her ring. When would she get married? Again she thought back to the fun times when she was a little girl. Her favorite season was Spring. All the new flowers coming to life after the cold winter. She thought that spring would be nice. April maybe... That was when everything started. April showers started the new growth... Then she would be married for the fun Summer events... There would be fireworks on the fourth of July... She could wrap her arms in the arms of her new Husband... Spring would be nice... But she would be fine with any day because she thought "He would Marry Me".
The door opened and HE came in with a big smile on his face. A smile that he only showed when she was in the room. She had seen the smile early on when they met. He would flash it whenever she came over for dinner, whenever they would pass on the stairs, whenever he ordered something from the menu when she was waitressing, whenever he held her close when they were alone, whenever she would wake up after him and she caught him just looking at her.
He had brown hair and it was not straight. It had the most beautiful wavy soft curls at the back of his head that she loved twirling her fingers through. He had Brown eyes that were soft and caring. Eyes that could look into her soul and touch her heart. She loved his eyes. He was not tall, really just her height. It made for very comfortable snuggling. They fit together like a matching pair of spoons. He didn't have big muscles, but he didn't need them... He was so smart... He understood when she was mad, to give her some time, He knew when she was sad how to just hold her and make her feel happy, He waited for her to catch up in their relationship, trying not to pressure her.
They met as neighbors and became friends. He was the best friend she ever had, he would help her with anything ... no questions asked, and nothing expected in return. He watched as she tried to find the one that would love her for who she was and not just how she looked. He helped her through all the ups and downs in her relationships no matter how much it hurt him to see her with someone else.
He didn't have Blond hair, he didn't have blue eyes, and he wasn't tall like she thought she wanted all those years in the past... but she didn't care what he looked like...
He would Marry her in the spring and hold her tight. Watch the bright lights for the rest of their life... because he loved her so and he would Marry her... She really didn't care what he looked like...
