Christmas Promises
Lockwood's POV
I'm good at a lot of things.
I can see ghosts better than most people, I can hunt ghosts, I can make the best tea that anyone has ever tasted, and I could even recite the alphabet backwards with no hesitation.
One thing I couldn't do was pick out the perfect Christmas gift for Lucy.
Lucy and I have been dating for almost a year now and it has been the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I want to get her something that she will never forget. But, I can't think of a single thing.
However, I did know the perfect person to help me.
Holly Munroe.
We currently shopping and we were at the tenth store of the day.
Holly first suggested getting her pet, but that was quickly pushed aside after realizing that we barely had time to take of ourselves.
I also considered getting her a coffee maker but Holly shook her head and sighed.
"What about this?" I asked Holly and pointed at a diamond necklace on display.
"You already gave her two necklaces," Holly pointed out. "You don't want to drown her neck."
I sighed. This was impossible. Holly liked to put down everything I picked out.
Picking a gift out for Lucy shouldn't be this hard. I know her better than anyone else. So why can't I think of a single thing she that she would like.
"Why is it this hard to pick out a Christmas gift!" I yelled frustratedly, gaining the attention of a few bystanders.
"It's because you love her," Holly smiled. "I know exactly how you feel."
Holly has been not so secretly seeing a special someone and won't tell anyone who it is. Though, we all have an idea on who it is.
"I just want it too be perfect," I replied. "It's our first Christmas as a couple and it don't want to disappoint."
"You could get that girl anything and she would love it because it came from you. Just look around and find something that reminds you of her," she commanded and walked towards a different display to find something for her significant other.
I looked at around twenty displays and nothing screamed Lucy. I was getting more and more frustrated.
Ten minutes later, after seriously reconsidering getting a pet, I found the perfect gift.
She was going to love it.
~2 Days Later~
Lucy's POV
It was Christmas night and we were all sitting around the fireplace laughing and enjoying each other's company. We had just finished our Christmas gift exchange and were digesting all of the food that George had prepared.
I looked over at Lockwood and he motioned towards the door. We both got up and he lead me out of the room and into the entryway.
"I swear to god, if you had George set up another mistletoe-" I began but was cut off by Lockwood's laugh.
"No, Luce. I have something for you," he said and blushed. I could tell that he was nervous.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box and got down on one knee.
"Wait! Are you proposing? We're sixteen! We can't get married!" I whispered quietly so our friends wouldn't hear.
"No of course not! Not now at least," he said and smiled.
I let out a sigh of relief and let my heart return to its normal pace.
He open the box and I gasped. Inside the box was the most breathtaking ring that I have ever seen. It was silver and it had a big black diamond on it.
I looked at Lockwood and I could feel tears forming in my eyes. It was too much and yet it was perfect.
"Its promise," he began. "A promise to love you for the rest of my life. A promise to protect you, to make sure that you always feel loved and to help you remember that you are never alone."
I was speechless. I was filled with such love for the boy kneeling in front of me. No one has ever made me feel this special and loved in my life.
"After I lost my parents and Jessica, I didn't think I would ever be able to love someone this much again, and then I found you. Well, you found me but that's besides the point. I knew you were special but I had no idea that you were going to mean this much to me. I love you, Lucy. And I hope that when you look at this ring, you will always remember that. Nothing could ever change that. Will you accept that promise?" He finished and looked up at me.
I leaned down and crushed my lips into his. I was crying, but I didn't care.
"Is that a yes?" He asked with a huge smiled.
I nodded and he slid the ring onto my finger. Once he was standing, I pulled his lips to mine again with a laugh.
This was officially the best Christmas ever.
