Authors Note: I cant even to begin to apologize for my lateness.....i got my lappytop taken away all summer and i just got it back......sooooooooooo sorry, you have no idea. But there is one more chapter after this and I'm done with Green Roses. After that I have two things in my head, you get to choose my lovlies: Red Chocolate-the third book but it's about Caemon finding his love because I probably adore him more than you guys do. Bad Boys Do it Better: a new series about two very different gang ike groups, it will have multiple couples and I will try to make it longer but that means chapters may take longer.

I also apologize about how short this is...


Chapter 7

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And i ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said.

Matt Nathanson-C'mon Get Higher

Gabes POV

Caemon watched idly from my couch as I ran franticly around my dorm, looking for my car keys and shoes and anything else I might have needed. Finally finding everything I took off, not caring that I had just left my arch-enemy alone in my house where he could fuck with anything he so wished. I had more important things to worry about, like how to find Asce's summer house with just an address that Caemon had given me. Then I remembered the GPS in my car.

I fought with the BMW door until I could finally get my key to unlock it then threw myself in the driver's seat. I turned the car on and drove out of the parking lot as I fumbled with putting on my seatbelt. By the time I had gotten into the freeway traffic, I calmed down and entered the address into the GPS. It electronically called out turns above the sounds of my radio. I relaxed in my seat as I drove the car calmly, but my mind was on the fritz. I was freaking out. "What am I going to do when I see Asce again? What am I supposed to say? Am I supposed to say anything? And if not, how do I act? Should I apologize?" I asked myself.

"What you should do is shut up and pay attention to driving." I screamed like a little girl when I head another person's voice and I looked over to the passenger's seat to see Caemon sitting there. He had really picked up some English.

"What the hell? How did you get in here?" I yelled, turning my attention back to the road.

"I followed you." He replied simply as he picked at his already chipping red nail polish. "It is your fault that you are oblivious." I sighed in frustration, but ignored him and continued on my way to the love of my life.

It was a shorter drive then I had expected, when I got there I panicked. I had absolutely no idea how I could put into words how much I really, really, really loved him. How could I say how much my heart burned and ached when he wasn't next to me? I didn't have much time to think it over though, hearing my name called in a familiar voice pulled me out of my comatose state. I looked up from the hood of my car and into pale blue eyes.

"Asce." I whispered. It felt so right rolling off my tongue, and I said it again. Then again. And again, over and over until his name was fucking up all five of my senses and my mouth went dry. When I finally went silent again I realized that tears were rolling down my cheeks and strong, pale, familiar arms were holding me tight.

"Do you still love me?" Asce asked me and I could feel his tears dripping onto the top of my head. My heart tightened at his desperate words. How could I ever break his heart like I did? I'm a horrible person for ever hurting him.

"Of course." I replied through a sob. I could hear the fake gagging noises coming from Caemon behind us. "I never stopped loving you. I was just too fucking stupid to realize that no matter what happens, you're the only one I want to be beside me." I was surprised when I heard Asce laugh. I looked up to see a small smile on his face.

"You have no idea how happy your words make me." He explained. "And you're not stupid. A little slow, but not stupid." I chuckled and punched his arm. I regretted the action, even if it didn't hurt him, and pulled up his sleeve so I could place light kisses on the perfect skin. I then stood on my tippy-toes so I could put my lips where always have and always will belong. I kissed Asce with every ounce of passion, emotion, and pure love that I could; and he kissed me back and held me and everything in this moment felt so god dammed right that I never wanted to let go of my man. But I did have to pull away for air.

"Can I ask you for something?" Asce said, placing his forehead against mine and running cool fingers through my hair. I nodded yes, unable to say anything. Then Asce dropped to one knee, and I was incredibly confused.

"Asce what-" I was silenced by a finger over by my lips as his brushed over the knuckles of my left hand.

"Just be quiet and listen. I've known and loved you for almost three years now, we had ups and downs and terrible, terrible times; but you are like the light in a world of darkness. You are my angel and my devil, my savior and the only one who can destroy me completely." Asce took a deep breath and held my left hand in both of his. "But there is still no one else on this planet who can make me feel the way you do, no one else who I can love as much. And I want to spend every last second of my life as yours, and I want to forever call you mine-"

"Asce, your making me nervous. Get to the fucking point."

"Gabriel Harrow Valentine, I want you to marry me." I collapsed onto my knees and wrapped him in my arms when I heard him say those words.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and fucking YES. Of course, please, yes, just-YES!" I said, completely at a loss for words.

"Good, because it would've been hell to refund this." I looked up when one of my arms was pried away from Aces neck. He took my hand again and placed a ornate silver ring with twisting strands of sterling that encased two emeralds with a diamond in between the two. I gasped, it wasn't at all a normal engagement ring, but Asce wasn't really a normal human being, and it was absolutely breathtaking. "I love you Gabriel. Never forget that."
