"You're not going to be a part of a war if it start Jasper Whitlock" Lily looked at me.
"And why not ma'am?" I asked her.
"Because you're going to get sent away, and I don't know how long it will be until I see you" she explained to me. "And plus that, with my lucky ring…" she said as she held the gold band that was worn around her neck "won't let anything happen to us, so we're safe"
"What if I told you if there were a war, it will last for less than a year?"
"How can you be so sure?" she asked me.
"Because…things just work out that way" I looked at her.
"Well I for one am against you for even thinking those thoughts on the whole arguments between the states" Lily looked at me. "For all we know, nothing is going to happen"
"If you insist" I nodded.
"Well, come on now Mr. Whitlock, its time to head home" she said as she stood up. She held out her hand to help me up.
"No thank you ma'am, I wouldn't want you to trouble yourself for me" I said as I pulled myself up.
"No trouble at all Mr. Whitlock" she said as she packed up the picnic rug, the plates and the leftover food that we had and placed them back into the basket that she was carrying. I linked my arms with hers as we prepared to walk through the park. As we walked by, all of our friends stopped to greet us and walk by.
"Good day Jasper" or "Good day Mr. Whitlock" was heard as we walked through.
"My, my, my" Lily smiled at me.
"May I ask what you are referring to Miss. Lily?"
"Well, it seems to me that you are quite popular here" she looked at me "amongst everybody. Not many people have that ability to be well liked by so many people"
"I don't know why though" I shrugged as I gazed into her light brown eyes "care to shine a little light on the subject for me?"
"Well, Mr. Whitlock" she smiled "you have a very charismatic personality. Something that people find…wonderful"
"I appreciate that ma'am" I bowed my head as I touched the tip of my hat.
She giggled "Oh I wish we could always spend days forever like this…" she said as she looked around the park.
"Days like…?"
"You know….walking around, taking in everything around us…enjoying anything and everything. And what could be better? It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, everyone is running around happy as they can be. And walking with…" she trailed off.
"What is it Miss. Lily?" I asked her.
"I don't know if it is too forward on my part Mr. Whitlock" she answered.
"It's only the two of us, Lily. Don't be scared to tell me"
"And walking with…the man that I love" she looked at me and took a deep breath "well, that was harder than I thought" she laughed nervously. I thought it was adorable, but at the same time it made this fluttering sensation happen in my stomach. We stopped walking; I just stood there, looking at her. She was staring down at the floor, staring at the picnic rug that we had sat on. I saw the slight tinge of red brush across her cheeks.
"Lil…what did you just say?"
"I'm sorry about me getting all flushed" she said as she touched her cheeks
"That's not an issue ma'am…" I began "but Lily…"
"Yes?" I looked up at her
"What did you say?"
"I don't know what I said" she looked at me "but…"
"But…" I mimicked hoping she would finish what she was going to say before.
"I think I just told you that…I love you"
"You, love me?" I said as I held her hand.
"Jasper…" she looked at me
"Tired of waiting around for your parents to finally approve of me?"
"Of course I am" she nodded as she tightened the grip of her hand against mine "I've been hinting to them as much as I can to give you an answer…but it seems that Pa is more preoccupied with the going's on in our country…I'm sorry Jasper. I know you're probably growing impatient of what's happening with me that you'll find another nice girl that you can make your wife"
"Lily" I looked at her, I found what she said foolish. There was no one else I wanted in the entire country than her to be my wife "I'm willing to wait"
"I'm sorry for all the waiting" she answered "I will talk to Pa and tell him what's happening…he likes you, so does Ma…and my brother and sister think the world of you. I don't see anything that's wrong with it"
"Well…" he began "we can be married" I smiled at her as I took a step forward.
"Jasper" she said as I felt her tug me back, she seemed unsure about something. I looked at her, she obviously wanted to ask me a question but she seemed too scared to ask me. "Do you?"
"Do I…?"
"Love me" she answered "you know how I feel, I just need to know if the way I feel is the same as you"
"For a while now Lil" I nodded "no one has come close"
She smiled and we continued to walk "I just don't understand…" she began.
"Understand what?" I looked at her.
"How it was so easy telling you everything. I just feel…really calm around you. You always make me that way whenever I'm around you"
I smiled as we continued to walk down the park. "Everything seems to be in order ma'am, all we need to do now is tell your family"
"We'll solve our problems one step at a time, but let's make this problem sealed" I said as I took her hand and looked her in the eyes "Will you marry me?"
She smiled, her eyes sparkling "Yes, I will" after she said those words, I lightly pressed my lips against her forehead and then our lips met.
"There's one more thing that needs to be in order though…" she began. I looked at her "For there not to be a war"
"Lily..."
"I don't like the fact that if there is, there may be a chance of losing you…"
"You're not going to lose me…Mrs. Whitlock. Not in this lifetime" I promised.
Once again, thank you to all the people that have reviewed! It means so much!!
