Ch. 11 Happily Ever After?
Amy's POV
My eyes fluttered open and I felt arms around me. Sonic's arms. His gentle breaths hit the back of my neck warmly. I wonder sometimes why I'm so complicated with him at times. I wiggled to turn onto my other side without waking him up. I looked at him and saw how gentle his face was when he was sleep. I freed my arm from his arms circular hold around me and touched his cheek. I let my hand wonder to his temple, up into his quills, and down onto his back. He stayed sleep through it all. I kissed him softly. His eyes opened, but quickly closed again as he kissed me back. I pulled away and looked into his light green pools of love. His hand wiped away one of my quills from the crick of my neck.
"I thought you were mad at me," he said softly. I shook my head.
"I was frustrated, that's all," I said.
"About?"
"You suddenly remembered when you kissed me. I got angry for some reason that I don't even remember nor understand. Did I hurt you at all?"
"No, your slap didn't hurt as much as usual. You were probably too tired to put any real force into it."
"Not just that. I also meant emotionally."
"Then no, you just let your feelings come out in the wrong way. I thought by all that you said that you loved me." I smiled.
"I do love you."
"I love you too Ames."
"Um, I was thinking."
"About what?"
"Um, a lot of things. Dreams can take your mind to unexpected places."
"Okay, what was one of the things your mind took you to?"
"You're gonna laugh."
"No I'm not, now tell me."
"Well, I was thinking about kids."
"Kids?" A smile was tugging at his lips.
"Don't laugh, you promised."
"No, I said I wouldn't."
"Which to me was a promise."
"Alright, it was a promise. Now, back to the 'kids' thing."
"Well, I don't know. I guess I'm just eager to start a life, a family, and I just let my mind wander."
"Mm," Sonic put his lips to my neck. I laughed.
"Sonic," I said.
"You said you wanted kids so," he whispered in my ear before kissing me and letting his lips trail back to my neck.
"Not now Sonniku," I said. He pulled away grinning.
"Aw boo," he teased. I shoved his shoulder.
"I'm not saying ever, you know that right," I said getting serious. I was hoping I would hint marriage. I mean, kids do come after marriage. His grin dropped.
"You want to get married don't you," he said, his mouth turning into a line.
"Well, I. I mean. Yes, I want to, but I don't think that's ever going to happen is it," I said looking down. Sonic didn't respond. I sighed and got out the bed and into the bathroom, shutting the door behind me. I threw on a pair of designer jeans, a graphic t shirt, and my boot slippers. I let my quills fall freely after combing them out. I walked back into the bedroom to see Sonic was gone. I shook my head and walked to the kitchen. Cream was there. She bounced up when she saw me. She smiled brightly as she walked up to me. "Amy, you didn't tell me Sonic got his memory back," she said excitedly.
"Um yea, funny story actually," I replied.
"How?"
"He kissed me and all the memories flooded back to his mind I guess."
"Well, that's great when he got it back. Though he seemed kind of bummed and so do you. What happened?" She led me to the couch and sat down next to me.
"I bought up marriage with him and kids."
"And?"
"Well he seemed to play about the kid thing, but he got serious about the marriage."
"Actually Amy, I think I know why."
"You do?"
"Yea, before you came along Sonic was preparing to propose to Sally. He proposed the day before you came. Sally rejected him and then he found out that she was cheating."
"That was my fault and you know that."
"No, I mean before that. She had tons of guys and Sonic didn't have a clue. He thought she loved him, but she didn't. He gave her all of his love and all she gave him was goodbye."
"He was heartbroken."
"Yea, he stayed cooped up in his house for a while, thinking it over. Especially thinking of what he was going to do about you. He still had feelings for you, but he was scared that if he let you in, he would only end up getting hurt again. To him, marriage just might be the close end to a relationship."
"But, it might be just the beginning."
"He thinks what he thinks because of experience. If Sally never dated him, and you guys still went through everything, he would be more open with you, but he's scared."
"He shouldn't be. It's me, his friend, his lover."
"Amy, show him he can be open with you and maybe he'll reconsider."
"Okay."
I paced around the house, waiting for Sonic to come home. Where was he? I pulled my blanket tighter around me. I sighed and threw on my winter jacket. I walked outside and into the snow. Sonic's car was gone. I jumped into my car and drove around for a few minutes when I spotted Sonic's car near an alley. I walked to the alley cautiously.
"Leave me alone Sally," Sonic yelled.
"Why be happy with her Sonic? She hurt you too many times," Sally yelled back.
"At least I know she cares!"
"She cares? Give me a break! What does she want you for?"
"What do you want me, Sally? I have nothing and you thought all those other guys had something! Amy cares for me and I know she'll never make the actions you made!" I heard footsteps come to me. I backed up into someone. I turned around, about to apologize when I saw Ray. He smiled evilly at me.
"Son-" I screamed, but I was cut off by Ray kissing me. He was holding my arms so I couldn't push him away. I finally broke free and turned around to run and I saw Sonic looking shocked.
"Sonic, that was not what you think," I said. His eyes were filled with betrayal. I ran up to him.
"Sonic, please say you believe me," I said.
"Pathetic," I heard Sally say. I turned and saw her wrapped in Ray's arms.
"See Sonic, she's your personal heartbreaker," she said before walking away with Ray. I turned back to Sonic, tears streaming down my face. She did this.
"Sonic, I-"
"Stop Amy. Get in your car," he said coldly, his eyes now filled with anger.
"But-"
"Now. We'll talk at home," he said before walking away.
I sighed and walked back to my car. I drove home quickly, wanting to get there before he did. Somehow, his car was there when I pulled in the driveway. I walked into the house quietly. Sonic was sitting on the couch, his head in his hands. His eyes were closed and his body was tight. I walked up to him and sat down next to him. "I can explain," I said.
"Please do," he said, his hands releasing his head as he looked up at me.
"I got worried since you were gone for so long so I went out to go look for you to make sure you were okay. I saw your car near the alley and I went up to see if you were there. I heard you and Sally arguing. I ran into Ray suddenly and he kissed me. He was gripping my arms so hard that I couldn't move."
"Look, I don't think things will work out for us."
"No, Sonic don't, please."
"Amy, tell me what else we can do. We've been through enough and it's time to close the book." Tears streamed down my cheeks quickly.
"We can work things out Sonic. We-"
"Just let it go. We can't keep hurting each other."
"You told me you loved me so why are you doing this?"
"I do love you Amy, but this is just something we need to do."
"Fine. But, this is telling me you don't care," I said, before getting up and walking to the bedroom. I slammed the door behind me and I started packing up my things. The tears kept flowing down my cheeks, but what did it matter. I heard the door open and a hand touch my shoulder. "Go away Sonic," I yelled.
"Amy, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Don't leave please," he said, wrapping his arms around me. I stopped putting things in my suitcase and turned to look at him.
"Sonic, there are tons of girls out in the world that deserve you, but why are you choosing me," I asked.
"Because none of them knows me like you do. None of them have your jade eyes that automatically enchant you when you look into them. None of them have your little laugh or your wonderful smile. And none of them will ever match the feelings I have for you," he said softly. He shook his head. "I'm insane and impatient and fast thinking, but you're the one who slows me down, who keeps me patient, and who holds the key to my sanity. Heck, you're the reason I live every day."
"You really mean that," I asked, turning all the way around in his arms.
"Get a lie detector and look at the results. It's going to be true." I felt more tears come out my eyes, except they were tears of joy.
"I love you Amy Rose," Sonic said softly.
"I love you too," I said, my voice cracking. Sonic crushed me to his chest softly.
"About that marriage thing," he said.
"I know, I know. We don't have to rush the question, I mean we can wait a year or two."
"No."
"No?" I looked up at him. He helped me up and sat me down on the bed. He kneeled down on one knee and took my hand.
"Amy Rose, after everything we've been through and the more things to come. I want you to be there by my side through my whole life. I want to be the one fulfilling your desires, the one wiping your tears when you cry, the one comforting you when you're down, the one who gets to hold you in your arms, the one who gets to be united with you forever of forever. Amy, I know it's taken me a while to say this but: Will you marry me?" He pulled a velvet box out of his pocket and opened it. The ring had a gold band with a sterling silver stripe going all the way around it. The diamond looked more like a gem. It was carved as a rose and heart mixed together. Amethyst and sapphire made up its petals. I was too shocked to speak. He was really doing this.
"Amy," he asked, getting worried. Tears flew out my eyes like crazy. He squeezed my hand. "Yes," I whispered. He smiled and slid the ring on my finger. I flew into his arms and cried my eyes out in joy. I was exactly where I was supposed to be. In his arms.
