Chapter Eight

"I…," she stammered. Amy was caught in a mix of shock, guilt, happiness, and regret.

"This is getting awkward Amy," said Sonic, "Say something."

"I…," she started, "can't."

"What," said Sonic stunned.

"I mean…," said Amy, "I want to say yes. I've dreamed about saying yes for as long I can remember."

"Then say it," he said.

"I haven't been entirely honest," she said. A look of confusion came onto Sonic's face.

"Something did happen last night," she said as tears welled up in her eyes, "I did something with Tails that I shouldn't have. We had sex."

"What," said Sonic, the confusion turning to hurt and anger.

"It just happened," she said, "We were talking, and then we were kissing. It just happened." Sonic closed the box and turned away from her.

"Sonic," she said, "I'm sorry."

"Save it," he said, "I have one question for you. Do you regret it?" His question hit her hard. She looked down at the floor.

"If I'd say yes," she said, "it would be a lie. I regret hurting you, but I don't regret the act. Neither of us was pressured, it just happened." Sonic closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

"We both agreed that last night meant nothing," she continued, "I do love you Sonic. That hasn't changed. I can't accept your proposal because after what I did, after betraying you, I don't deserve you, and you don't deserve the pain I'm putting you through." They stood there in deafening silence.

"I guess I'll go then," She said as pulled on her dress and began walking out the door.

As the door was closing, Sonic called out, "Amy, wait." He pulled the door open, reached for and grabbed her arm. He spun her around and kissed her passionately.

"But…," she started.

"Shh," he said resuming the kiss, "I can't stay mad at you. I still love you Amy. We can work through this."

"Oh Sonic," she said as tears began streaming down her face.

"Please don't cry," he said, "I hate to see you cry." She nodded.

"Come on back inside," he said as he motioned her to enter. They walked back in, and she sat on the sofa. He sat beside her.

"My question still stands," he said, "Will you marry me?"

"Yes," she said as she wrapped her arms around him. He opened the box and pulled out the one and a half carat diamond ring and placed it on her finger.

"You look really tired," Sonic said.

"A little," Amy replied with a light yawn. He lifted her and carried her back to his bed and lay her down. He crawled into bed beside her and gave her a light kiss as she drifted off to sleep. Sonic however, did not sleep. He lay there with an almost seething hatred building up for a certain two-tailed fox. He got out of bed without disturbing Amy, and walked off to visit his best friend.
