I felt soft lips on my cheek.
"Ross." I said this seriously, I needed to talk to him if we could even think about making this work. "We need to talk, Ross."
"Ok, shoot!"
"I'm serious."
"Ugh, I hate this part." So did I, but if this worked out right, neither of us would ever have to do this again.
"I love you Ross, and I know you love me," Hell, he's said it enough times. "but there was a reason why we broke up."
"But there is a reason why you are here." He was right, I had already forgiven him, I had forgiven him about a month after it had all happened. No I hadn't. More like a year. Stop dwelling in the past Rachel, you don't want to wreck things again.
"You're right. Look Ross, I love you and I cannot imagine having a future with anyone else. I don't even remember why I thought we needed to talk, because there really is no reason. We broke up years and years ago, and I have long since forgiven you. I don't want to ruin this Ross, I know you are my forever, you have to bee." I didn't know what else to say, so I stopped there.
"I am your forever Rach. I always have been, and I've always known." He turned around quickly, and then turned back with his hands around something that I could not see. "I have had this since our anniversary. I wanted it to be perfect but I guess that wasn't going to happen, eh?" He opened his hands to reveal a little white box. He opened it to reveal the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. I looked similar to the one Lucas had given me, but with an emerald in the middle instead of ruby, it was perfect..
"Oh." Once again, I didn't know why exactly I was saying oh.
"I'm not asking you to marry me Rach-"
"Why not?" Why did I say that? I didn't mean to, the words just cam out of my mouth.
"uhh…ummm….wha-WHAT?" Damn! I'd scared him. I would have to word this next answer very carefully.
"I, I just meant that…"
"Rachel?" He snapped me out of my crazy, word sorting trance,
"Hmmm?"
He held the ring out to me. "Will you marry me?" A smile was dancing on his lips.
There were so many things I wanted to say
Of course I will Ross, we have been through hell and back together, but I would not have it any other way. You are perfect and I love you so much. I cant believe I was ever going to marry Lucas, how could I have when you were right there, and I am so glad you were in that accident, otherwise we would not be here right now, in this magical moment. Most of all I wish we had never lose these seven years, seven years that we could have been together in, no Emily, no Mona, no Tag, and no Lucas. Just us. But of course I will marry you, and now we can have a family, and be happy.
But none of those words came out my mouth.
Only the most important word was said.
"Yes."
