Wow! I just want to take some time, and thank all of you who hav been
sooo nice to me...and yes, this is my first story, but I've been
writing since I was little... I once wrote a story for my mom about
"Interview with the Vampire" and it was Claudia, and Lestat bringing
their coffins over to Louis' house for a sleepover LOL! But I was only
6, and it was a Christmas present, so no one can pick on me!!! And yes,
My name IS Heaven Leigh Marquin, just ask my sister Angel Marquin
(Pixie Moon Angel)...she writes waaaaaay better than I do, so if you
think I am good, than go read "I'll Be That Girl"... again, thanks for
all the sweet, sweet reviews, and w/o further ado.... Chapter 4.
And I own the cab driver too!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So...it's 43' outside, you have INSISTED that I come for this
walk with you, and as much as I LOVE every second I spend with you,
PLEASE TELL ME-what's going on?" Angel hung on Johnnys arm persistantly,
hoping for an answer. "Well, dollface...I was planning on staying all
quiet!" he replied, with a fake admonishing tone. "Are you happy?" he
asked. "Am I with you?" Johnny looked over both shoulders. "I don't
see anyone else..." "Then yes. I am happy." She tugged him over to a
nearby park bench and plopped down. "Aren't ya gonna sit?" she asked.
"Nah...I'm cool." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of
smokes. He lit one, puffed, and offered it to Angel. She turned it
down-"Nah...I'm cool." she said, mocking him. Johnny paced nervously,
taking long drags off the smoke. Angel stood up and stopped him in his
tracks.
"Johnny, what's the deal? We're in this freezing park and
we're not talking, but when we are, you call me dollface-which is soo
cute, by the way...But, GOD what is going on?"
He looked into her eyes, exhaling deeply. He had been planning
how he was going to say this for months. "Angel, I...let's sit, ok?"
They moved back to the park bench, hand in hand. "Listen, Angel...
we've been together, what? Almost 2 years?" Angel smiled and closed her
eyes, as two years woth of memories came rushing back to her. "It
doesn't matter... I brought you here, away from the ears of everyone
else who'll probably laugh, and make jokes of what I'm about to say,
but... Oh God!"
Johnny slid off the bench and knelt in the wet grass before
Angel. He slowly pulled a small green velvet box from his pocket.
Angel gasped, and a smile spread across her face as silent tears ran
down her cheeks. He began speaking.
"Angel, the world is changing. We watch the people we love
grow and change into people we love more. Soda and Jade have been
married for awhile, and Dally's got his own girl on the side, and
THAt must be serious, because it's been over a month..." -they laughed
at his fear of commitment.
"My point is, with everything crazy going on in my life, you've
always been my constant. I love you more than life itself. I'd give a
limb to make you smile, or even my life to make you happy. Forever."
He opened the box to reveal a HUGE diamond set in silver. "Please let
me make you happy...forever?" Angel was shaking and crying and laughing
all at once. She put her right hand to her mouth and let her left hand
drop as she sobbed. Johnny took it as an opporotunity to slide the ring
on her finger-a perfect fit. He sat back down on the bench, holding her
hand tightly. Suddenly, Angel grabbed him in her arms and let loose.
"Oh god... Johnny... Johnny..." All of a sudden, Angel couldn't
have him close enough. She could feel him shaking in her arms. "Johnny?"
She pulled away, to see him face to face. "Yeah?" She could tell he
was trying to act tough, but as he looked into her eyes, she saw his
fear of rejection. Angel put her hand on his face and smiled sweetly.
"Yes....oh god, Johnny, Yes!!!!" Johnny's look was one of utter
disbelief. He jumped up, and started yelling. "Yes? YES? YOU SAID YES?"
Angel nodded, grinning from ear to ear. "WOOOOO!" She smiled as she
was picked up by Johnny, and spun in circles, and they laughed.
Together.
* * *
"Now, tell me-how on EARTH could you afford this ring? It's
gorgeous. As she held up to the sunlight, and watched it sparkle, she
was amazed at how perfectly it complimented her hand. 'I wonder how
many hours he spent staring at my hands to pick this out' she thought.
"Eh, I have my ways..." said Johnny, shrugging her question off. "C'mon
Johnny, tell me... PUH-LEEZ!?" Angel jumped in front of him, hands
clasped, and fully armed with her puppy dog face. Johnny laughed at her
sillyness. "Ok-I'd been saving for like 6 or 7 years, just trying to
get up some funds to get out of my parents house. But then Darry asked
if I'd move in with him, to help out with the rent, so I did. But
then I was gonna buy a car-and then I met you, and realized I couldn't
spend it on anything else. Angel beamed as she kissed his cheek.
"You're sweet... Now-should we tell everyone right away, or should we
wait til we set a date, or what?" He laughed at her eagerness. "Well,
what do you wanna do? I don't really care, as long as you're happy."
She grinned. "OK, then we are going to tell everyone we're engaged...
Oh my god, let's throw a party and announce it then!" Angel bubbled
over with happiness, as Johnny also tried to help. "But when? I mean,
Saturday-no, wait... maybe we should wait a little while-how about
next weekend?" He said, shrugging. "How about tonight?" "Sounds good
to me!"
Angel flagged a cab so they wouldn't have to walk again. The
entire ride home, they made party plans... and wedding plans, too.
"When should we have it? Spring, summer, winter, fall, when?"
"Well, the party is tonight, so it's not really like we have a choice
on season, do we?" Johnny's sarcastic tone made Angel roll her eyes
and giggle. "The wedding, dofus!" "Well..." Johnny's voice took on a
stuck-up, snooty, socialite tone as he continued. "Spring weddings are
beautiful...flowers everywhere and the like... But Valentine's Day
would be SO romantice... but summer would be good for a beach wedding.
And no fall weddings, because I don't wish to wait that long."
Angel rolled her eyes again at Johnnys comidic attempt. "You know, I
can tell right now that you are going to be of NO help planning this
thing, not at all!" "Nope, but you need me for something!" "And what
would THAT be, master of all things silly and freakinshly strange?"
"You gota have a groom!" She smiled and leaned in for a kiss. "No shit,
sherlock!" she said just as their lips met. They kissed briefly,
pulled back, and Angel rested her head on Johnnys shoulder. He brushed
her hair out of he fac and wrapped his arms around her. "Johnny?"
"Yea, dollface?" "I... I wanna tell you something." Johnny sensed Angel
was nervous. "So shoot." "Umm, I..."
"Hey guys we're here! That'll be $8.79." said the cab driver.
Johnny searched for his wallet. "Shit! Angel, would you run in and grab
my wallet off the table, please?" "Yeah, no problem!" Angel jumped out
of the cab and ran up the steps into her house. As soon as Angel was out
sight, the cab driver turned around and spoke to Johnny. "Listen kid.
I've been watching you... if you go through with this wedding, it'll
be your ass, you hear me? I'm not kidding-you're dead."
Johnny was stunned. His first reaction was to pull out his
switch, but he didn't need the trouble-he was marrying the woman he
loved!
Or was he?
"Ok, let's get something straight-I'm marrying Angel, whether
you like it or not, asshole! Nothings gonna stop me, nothing. Not you,
not any fucking goonies you might have, so just get that thought out of
your head. And who the fu-?"
Johnny would have finished, but Angel interrupted him by
banging on the window. "It was NOT on the table!" She handed him the
wallet, and he pulled out a ten. Handing it to the driver, he said
gruffly, "Keep the change." "Just remember what I said." yelled the
driver as he drove away.
"What was that all about?" Angel looked truly puzzled.
"What'd he say?" "Oh... umm..." Johnny ran his fingers through his
greased-back hair. "Nothing..."
