"Ok everyone, I am officially off!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."
"You better get out of here before you get pulled back in!"
"Ok, night all." Isn't it funny how things can seem to happen so slowly, yet fly by faster than anyone can ever know? The past few day seem like a blur, yet every detail is so clear. Where's Abby? I need to say goodbye and see if she needs me to do anything for her. God, I'm acting like she's pregnant! I'm only going to propose. Ha, ONLY going to propose. THAT'S a good one...
"Carter, what are you still doing here?"
"Looking for you."
"Well, you found me."
"Do you need me to get anything for you?"
"God Carter, you sound like I'm pregnant. No, I don't need anything, thank you though."
"Are you pregnant?"
"No, at least I don't think so. I shouldn't be. No, I'm not. But even if I was, we wouldn't know that. We wouldn't know for at least a month. Don't you know ANYTHING about women?"
"Apparently not, but we'd better stop throwing that word around. People will talk."
"Let um talk."
"Ok, fine with me."
"You better get going, unlike me you're not still working. Don't come over until 8:45 if possible. But no earlier than 8:30. Unlike you, I only have 15 minutes to get ready."
"How about I come and save you at 7:45 so you can have a whole 40 minutes!"
"You're a prince, but you can't stay in the house, I'm going to surprise you."
"I like surprises."
"Good, cause you're getting one."
"I'll go home and change while you do."
"Ok, that works. Now get before you have to start working again and I want my dinner! Plus, I'm gonna get in trouble. Weaver's been riding me all day. I think she heard we were 'talking' at work."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Wait, what was that feeling I had when she said 'pregnant'? It wasn't fear and it wasn't dread. Was it joy? Could it be? That would be amazing actually. I mean, I've always known that I wanted to have a family with Abby but now? I never thought I was ready to start a family but, I guess I could. I could. Ok, let's do one thing at a time. Deal with the task at hand, proposing. We can't have a family yet. We have to get married first, then we can talk about it, talk being the operative word. She probably doesn't even want kids, at least not yet. I mean, it pretty much is up to her. I'd better get ready...
"Abby, you ready?"
"Hey Carter, did you change?"
"Are you always here Susan?"
"Oh, haven't you heard, I have no life. I just walk these halls all hours of the day and chocolate is my only true love."
"You've been planning that a while, haven't you?"
"I have no life, remember? It comes naturally."
"Ok, sorry to interrupt but we do have reservations and I still need to get ready."
"Yeah, we'd really better go. Bye all."
"Bye you two. And remember, no 'talking' near work!"
"Not funny Susan!"
"Bye you two!"
"Well, that was fun."
"Wasn't it?"
"Great, it's 7:55 already. We are going to be so late."
"Abby, don't worry. If we're late, we're late. No big deal. We're here. Just get ready. I'm going to go home and get changed."
"You can come up, but tell me after you come in. And DON'T do anything but sit on the couch."
"Ok, will do. Hurry up!"
"I can't wait. Hurry back!"
"Don't worry, I will." This is great! It's almost time! Everything has to be perfect...
Which one should I wear? I'm worse than her. I've had two days to plan and I'm still not sure what to wear. I'll go with this one...
I can't wait to see how beautiful she is. She's always beautiful, oh so beautiful... Well, this is a strange feeling, letting myself into her house with my key. It feels good though. "Abby, I'm here."
"Ok, just sit on the couch, I'm almost ready."
"Ok." Don't get nervous, you have to stay calm, stay focused. You need to do this and do it right. It has to be perfect...
"Ok, I'm ready to go."
When I thought she couldn't be more beautiful...
"Carter? You Ok?"
"Wow."
"Do I look THAT bad?"
"Wow." There was nothing else to say, she looks so...
"Ok, give me a minute, I'll change..."
"NO! I mean, don't do that. You look wonderful, better than that."
"Then why didn't you say that?"
"I said 'wow'."
"Oh, real helpful Carter..."
"Sorry. You look amazing. Ready?"
"Yes, let's go."
"Ladies first." THAT was wonderful...she almost changed because she thought I didn't like it. I love it. I love her...
"Carter, what is with you lately? You've really been out of it."
"Huh?"
"I rest my case."
"What?"
"You've been different these past few days."
"When, before or after Wednesday morning?"
"After. It's almost like...never mind..."
"It's almost like what Abby? You can tell me anything."
"Well, it seems that you act different when you're around me, and not in a good way..."
"What exactly are you saying?"
"..."
"...No, you can't...you wouldn't..." She can't think that I don't want to be with her. That can't be it. "You couldn't possibly think that..." It's so hard to say these words... "that I don't want to be with you."
"Well..."
"Well nothing Abby, you were really starting to think that?"
"I didn't...well, at least I didn't want to."
"I love you, you do know that, right?"
"Of course I know that, I love you too."
"Good, and promise me you'll never think anything else, Ok?"
"Ok."
"We're here!"
"Carter?"
"Yeah?"
"I really do love you."
"I know, I love you too. Let's go!"
