Well this took a day to write. I have no idea what most of my teachers were saying, but I finished it cause most of you seemed to like it. Thank you for all of your good reviews. I don't own Morganville Vampires or the charachters in it.
*****Shane P.O.V.*****
Damn Eve. If she hadn't interupted me and Claire, I would be a very happy man right now. Oh well, Claire did have to get up to the college. Now i was stuck in the house with my vampire best friend. I still don't know how i had managed to not stick a silver stake in his chest. Acctually I do know, it is Claire.
I walk into the living room to see Micheal sitting in his chair strumming his guitar. It was a tune I don't notice. He must have a gig coming up. I picked up a controler and started killing some zombies. When I had one I looked over to Micheal.
"Hey living dead, want to kill some other living dead creatures?"
He shook his head. "No, not really." I shrugged and went to get a Coke. I sat back down on the couch and flipped threw the channels. Finding nothing I decided to listen to Mike play his guitar.
"Hey are playing a gig tonight?"
Yeah. Why?" He kept playing his guitar as he talked.
"I wanted to take Claire for her birthday." As I said it I relized "Acctually I have a better idea. Can you take Eve with you? I've got a better idea in mind."
Micheal stopped playing, frowned, then looked at me. "Shane I really don't want to know about your sex life." He sighed, "Don't break the house."
I laughed. "No that's not what I was talking about.?" Although it was what I wanted, but he didn't need to know that.
He raised his eyebrow. "Then what are you planning that you need everyone else out of the house for?" The more I thought about what I was going to do the more nervous I get."Um Shane... you alright bro?" How could he tell? Oh yeah, my heartbeat?"
"Um..." Could I tell him? He had to go through this with Eve. Maybe he could help. "I'm goint to... propose to Claire." I wispered it but I knew his supernatural hearing picked it up.
"What" His face was kinda priceless.
"Unless your magic vamp hearing suddenly dissapeared you heard me."
Micheal shook his head and sighed. "Shane marring sombody is a really big step. Are you sure you're ready for it?"
I looked at him dumbfounded. "Micheal I love Claire. Tonight I am asking her to marry me, spend her life with me, and I don't give a damn about what you think."
"You're gonna prose to Claire? This is so awesome! My little Claire Bear is gonna get merried!" Eve was standing in the door way jumping up and down. You know for a goth chic she is really cheery.
"If you're home, where is Claire." She normally goes home with Eve or calls me.
"She is still at the college. She had to make up some test. She said she will call you when she is done." As soon as she said that my cell rang.
"Hey, ready to come home?"
"Yeah. I finnished the test in chem. That was too easy." I laughed. That's my little genious.
"Okay. Be there soon." I hung up and told Eve and Micheal I would be back.
"Hey Eve."
"Yeah?"
"Don't let this slip."
"I would never do something like that." she gave me her innocent smile then walked up to her room.
I met up with Claire at Common Grounds. She was sipping a coffe net to a window and looking out at everthing. Every time I see her she takes my breath away. Her hair is so soft and when the sun hits it, it turns a golden red color. Her eyes are a nice chocolate brown that melt when I look into them. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Now if only I can get her to belive that.
I walk over to the table and sit down. She looks over then smiles at me. I lean over to kiss her. "Ready to come home?"
"Yes. What are we going to do?"
"You'll see." We got up and walked out of the coffee shop. We held hands as we walked home never talking, just loving being close to each other.
Eve and Micheal were gone by the time we got home.
"Where are they at?" Claire asked me.
"They must have left early for Micheal'd gig." Claire walked into the kitchen. I noticed a note on the coffee table then read it.
Shane,
We have a surprise for you, but if Claire asks, say you did it. Have fun and make my Claire Bear the most happiest woman in the world.
Love,
Eve
Well thats a little strange.
"Shane?" Can you come here?" Claire called to me from the kitchen. I walked through the doors and saw what they ment. There was a whole dinner set up for us and in the middle of the table was a vase of roses with two candles on either side of it. I also saw a cake over on the counter.
"Did you do all of this?" She looked up at me suprise filling her big brown eyes.
"Well um... Eve told me to say yes so... yes." Claire laughed and kissed my cheek.
"I will tell her you did."
I lit the candles then turned off the lights. We ate in almost complete silence. When we were don I got up then lit the candles on the cake. I stood behind Claire, held her waist, then whispered in her ear, "Make a wish." She shivered then closed her eyes. After a second she blew out the candles.
After eating a pice each and gettinng frosting on both our noses, I walked her out into the living room were I turned on some music. It was a slow song and I held out my hand to Claire. She took it and I pulled her close. She laid her head on my chest and I rested my chhek on her head. We swayed to the music untill the song was over ant the next one came on.
"What did you wish for?" I asked her breaking the silence.
She blushed then looked down. "Well... um...I wished that this would never end." She met my eyes for a second before looking down.
"I love you. I have loved you for three years. We faced everything in Morganville together and still managed to stay alive. If it wasn't for you I would be dead." I relixed now was a perfect time.
I took her hands in mine and lowered herself to one knee. I looked up into her suprised and watery eyes and said, " I don't know what I would do without you. I never want to find out. I never want this to end." I reached into my back pocket and took a deep breath. " Claire Danvers, will you marry me?" I held my breath untill she told me her answer.
With tears in her eyes she said, "Yes. Yes Shane I will marry you." I jumped up huged her tight in my arms and kissed her strong and deep. I placed the ring onto her finger.
"It's so pretty." She said.
"It was my mother's" She kissed me again only this time we didn't pull back. As the kiss got deeper I lifted her in my arms and vcarried her up the stairs to her room. I laid her down on her bed and our kisses got deeper, touches hotter, and soon we were skin to skin. I couldn't think anythig else besides I love this girl, my fiance.
Once we were done we stayed in beed wrapped up in each other. We heard Eve and Micheal come home and heard their laughter. "You know we will have to tell them soon."
"Well they sort of already know."
She laughed and laid her head on my arm. "You know you really surprised me. All day I was trying to think of what you were planing. Never once did you proposing cross my mind."
"Really. Not once?"
She shook her head. "No. Don't get me wrong I loved that you did. God knows how many times I thought or dreamed about it. I just thought you weren't ready."
I kissed her head then her lips. " Belive me I was ready. Just waited for today."
We held each other some more. Happy to be close knowing that this would now never end. Except this is Morganville, happy endings never seem to happen for us.
I don't know if I will be continuing this I am kinda stuck. Your reviews are welcome and also some ideas you think I sould write if you want me to continue this. Thanks.
