Mini Summary: John and Joss share a moment.


Chapter 51: Romeo

Joss was washing dishes from their dinner when she felt two strong arms wrap around her waist and someone nuzzling her neck, causing her to smile. Taylor was full after having his fair share of food so he went back to his room which allowed John and Joss some privacy.

"You know how much I love you right Joss?" John asked in a low tone.

Joss had to fight the shiver before responding. "Okay John, what did you do this time?" She could almost see the confused look on his face.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Can't I just say how much I love you?"

"Not when you're a vigilante who I suspect is trying to get on my good side because he did something wrong." Finishing the task at hand, she turned to face John and crossed her arms over her chest and giving him a glare. "So what did you do this time that you want me to overlook?"

John shook his head. "It's nothing like that Joss. I just want to make sure you always remember how much you mean to me."

"Uh huh, okay Romeo. I'll bite but don't think you've fooled me just yet. You know that you don't always say it but I know from the way you hold me or look at me. You have a way to express yourself without words so believe me, I know that you care about not only me but Taylor. If that wasn't the case, you wouldn't be here." When Joss saw John nod his head, she grew more curious and wondered how bad the trouble was that he got himself into.

"And that's why I stayed away from the bottle that night after we first met. Harold gave a purpose but the second chance started with you." John took a deep breath as he got down on one knee, seeing his girlfriend's eyes widened as she realized what he was about to do. "I thought of how to ask you this very important question. I want to try so hard when I'm around you, be the good man that you believed me to be. You are such a beautiful person inside and out and I never want to lose that." John reached in his pocket and pulled out a velvet box. When he opened it, it was met by a gasping Joss who stared at the beautiful diamond ring that lay on the velvet. "Will you make me the happiest vigilante by being my wife?"

Joss's eyes went from the ring to John before her vision blurred because of tears. Knowing that this is what she wanted, she nodded her head. "Yes John, yes I'll be your wife in crime." They both shared a laugh before he slipped the ring on her left hand.

Straightening up, John pulled Joss into a sweet kiss that was a promise of things to come.
