Kaitlyn
The Big Surprise
"Check and check." I muttered to myself as I crossed another name off my list. That's it! Christmas shopping is done and I was officially ready for Christmas which is in exactly one week. I was really happy with the gifts I got for everyone. I got new video games for the kids. I got had collected a bunch of Anna's favorite poems and had them bound into a book and for Isaac I got him the newest Max Mayhem book for is reading device. I got home and I sighed in relief when I hit the couch. I have an hour before I pick the kids up from school and Isaac from work. I was just about to close my eyes for a moment when the doorbell rang. I groaned. I really need a break.
"Coming!" I called. I kicked off my shoes and opened the door.
"Liam." I said, sounding surprised. He smiled.
"Hey Kaitlyn. You busy?"
"No not at all. Please, come in." I said, stepping aside to let him in. I stepped inside and took off his coat.
"Where's Anna?" I asked.
"She's spending the day with her grandparents." Liam said.
"Didn't feel like being with them?" I asked.
"Actually, I needed to talk to you about something." I lead him into the kitchen and he sat down at the table.
"Can I get you anything? Coffee? Water?" Liam shook his head.
"No, thank you." I sat down across from him.
"What can I do for you?" I asked. I like Liam well enough. At first, I thought he had been a little desperate for Anna's attention when they first met. I mean seriously, the guy moved here for her. Guys don't do romantic stuff like that anymore. But then I got to know him and Liam is actually a really sweet guy. He had been Peter Van Houten's junior assistant back in Amsterdam until he met Anna. He fell for her. All I know about him is that his parents are divorced and they each have their own families now. He works for a book editing company and he is completely in love with Anna. That's all I know and that's really all I really need to know.
Without saying anything, Liam placed a little box on the table in between us. I gasped.
"No." He nodded with a smile on his face. I grabbed it and opened the box and laughed out loud.
"Oh my god are you serious!" I looked at him with a ridiculous grin on my face.
"I think it's time." He said.
"Oh my god that's incredible!" I practically screamed. I hugged him tight and looked back at the ring. It was simple with one diamond. I took it out of the box. On the inside of the ring was the word 'Okay'.
"It's beautiful." I said.
"Do you think she'll like it?" He asked me. I looked at him.
"Like it? I think she'll love it." I said. I handed it back to him.
"Are you ready for this?" I asked Liam. He sighed.
"I am. I love her. I love Anna and all I want is her." He said. My heart practically melted.
"Oh god stop before I cry." I said with a smile. Liam laughed softly.
"Do you think she'll say yes?" He asked me. I sighed.
"Of course she would." I said.
"She wasn't like that when I first asked her out." He said with a small smile. I laughed.
"Well, Anna is stubborn... but she loves you. I know that for sure." Liam sighed and place his arms on the table.
"I guess I'm just afraid that she'll say no." I looked at him and I no longer saw the seventeen year old love sick boy chasing after the girl. I saw a man who would do anything for the woman he loved and I knew that he didn't want to lose her.
"Do you love her?" I whispered. He looked at me and he nodded.
"I do."
"Then don't let her go. No matter what." I said. Liam leaned back and smiled.
"I don't know how I'm going to do it." He said. I smiled.
"Do what?"
"The proposal." I smiled.
"Well, that's where I come in."
Liam left a few hours later. We had planned 'The Big Surprise' and we decided that Christmas day was the perfect day to do it. Everyone was going to the Lancaster house for present opening and a little holiday party so it was the perfect time. I know Liam was a little nervous about the proposal... but there's no reason to be... right? Anna couldn't possibly say no. I know they love each other and they would be happy. I know they would. I picked up the kids and Isaac.
"How was your day?" Isaac asked after leaning in to kiss my cheek. I wanted to tell him about the big surprise but then I thought, it's Liam's surprise, not mine. I'd let him tell everyone.
"It was great." I said. One week. Just one week.
