I lied. There will be one more chapter after this one.
I'm sorry, I'm such a liar. But I promise I didn't lie on purpose. It came to me. :(
And plus I've always wanted to write something like this so...
Excuse me if it's sappy. I'm going to shut up now~. Enjoy.
Five Years Later…
"Where are we going?" Kendall asked, my hands covering his eyes as I pushed him along.
"You'll see," I said again for the fifth time. "Please just don't talk."
"I'm going to trip, James. Then I'll die from a concussion or something, and it'll all be on your conscience."
"Mm," I muttered, pulling him to a halt. "Open your eyes you impatient boob."
I removed my hands from his face and he gradually opened up his striking emerald eyes, blinking several times to adjust to the blinking stadium lights.
"Tada! Happy anniversary, again!" I exclaimed, pulling him to down from the ground and onto the blanket I laid out for him.
"…You do know it's 11 PM right now, right?"
"Yes," I replied. "So?"
"And we're having a picnic, even though we already had a romantic dinner?"
I nodded, taking out the pie I baked and some chocolate-dipped strawberries (1) in addition to an assortment of fruits.
"It's nothing big, alright? Eat," I grunted, pushing the food towards the blonde. "You're too skinny."
He chuckled and took a grape, popping it in his mouth. "You're odd."
"I missed you," I blurted. "Not seeing you for a month was hell."
Kendall smiled and leaned in to kiss me. "I know, me too. But now we graduated and we're free to see each other."
"Which is why I wanted to say this."
I got up from the ground and the stadium lights doused.
"Uh James, I can't see. Where are you?" he anxiously asked. "James?"
"Calm down," I whispered.
From behind the trees, about a dozen people walked out slowly holding candles in their hands and a guy playing a slow melody on a guitar. Kendall looked relieved when he finally saw my face amongst the glow of the candles, and then amused.
I began to sing.
"Slow down, we've got time left to be lazy. All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes. We've got 50 good years left to spend out in the garden; I don't care to beg your pardon, we should live until we die."
The corners of my boyfriend's lips started to curl up.
"We were barely eighteen when we'd crossed collective hearts. It was cold, but it got warm when you'd barely crossed my eye. And then you turned, put out your hand, and you asked me to dance. I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight."
I knelt down and cupped his hands with my own and stared into his eyes, which were filled with so much emotion.
"I swear when I grow up, I won't just by you a rose. I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely. Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields, I will not leave, I will not leave 'til it's our time."
I grabbed his hands and pulled him up with me, bringing him closer to me, fingers still intertwined.
"So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side."
By now, tears had sprung from his gorgeous eyes and his lips were quivering from happiness. I smiled and planted a small kiss before continuing.
"You think that I nearly lost you when the doctors tried to take you away. But like the night you took my hand beside the fire. Thirty years ago to this day, you swore you'd be here 'til we decide that it's our time. Well, it's not time, you've never quit in all your life. So just take my hand, you know that I'll never leave your side."
I pulled him back down onto the blanket and held him in my arms as I sang softly into his ears. I could feel him shaking a bit.
"You're the love of my life, you know that I'll never leave your side."
I released him from my embrace and pulled out a small velvet box. A gasp was heard from Kendall's mouth and I smiled.
"Look up at the sky," I told him.
He shifted his attention to the black skies that were dotted with gleaming stars that seemed to shine extra bright tonight. A burst of light suddenly exploded in the sky, accompanied with a deafening 'boom.' Quickly, more fireworks that filled the sky were set off, lighting up the semi-dark park. The fireworks seemed to cease for a moment until fireworks in the form of words began to light up the now smoky sky.
"Marry me," Kendall breathed, reading them aloud as the night became still again.
"I love you, Kendall. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
I was on my knees with the ring box popped open, a nervous expression on my face as I stared at him for an answer.
My lover nodded rapidly before he broke into tears and hugged me. "Yes. A million times yes."
The candle holders and the guitar player started to cheer as we shared a kiss or two. I pulled away, ready to finish the song.
"You come home from work and you kiss me on the eye. You curse the dog; you say that I should never feed them what is ours. So we moved out to the garden and look at everything we've grown. And now the kids are coming home; I'll set the table, you can make the fire."
When I finished the last note, everyone started cheering and blowing the flame out while the stadium lights returned.
"Thanks guys," I said, giving each of them a hug.
"No problem," one replied, patting me on the back. "Congratulations, you two."
There were scattered replies of "same" and they cleared out and went home.
"You did this all for me?" he gasped, still shocked.
"Of course, I love you."
Kendall smiled and pulled me in for a sweet, passionate kiss before lying down next to me on the picnic blanket.
"And I love you too," he finally answered.
(1) = IT'S CLICHE BUT ROMANTIC OKAY?
So how was that? Too sappy? I agree.
The song I used in this song is called "The Gambler" by fun., which is totally going to be my wedding song. It's so cute. :'D I didn't use the entire song, just the beginning verse and the end. It would've dragged on too long.
Okay, next chapter will be Cargan.
I actually did this in chronological order because I took into account of Logan going to med school. LOL.
I'm weird. Okay, reviews are appreciated~.
Thanks!
